@dgar
but even that isn't necessarily built to code. Rumor has it that the architect for the orange cockwomble ballroom quit because fire codes weren't being followed, so it's a massive gold plated death trap.
And orange cut a lot of safety code enforcement, either through decree or by gutting the agency responsible so they can't keep up with field inspections.
I foresee the possibility of un-inspected buildings being sloppily built (at the speed these go up, I think sloppy is guaranteed) and occasionally failing. And if that happens, what if there's a fire? There's a lot of stuff that is quite hazardous when burning.

Jon Stewart tells us what Trump's closing arguments for the midterms are:
1] Excellent asses
2] throwback Islamophobia
3] be happy for big profits for Big Oil

@nomdeb @ChuckMcManis I'd add that much of our present Internet is probably open to a lot of the kind of Murphy's Law events that the trailer suggests.
suggestion to any "authoritarian socialist" countries still out there: you can probably get a lot of tech nerds to overlook your lack of personal or political freedoms if you put some genuine effort into funding and developing an important piece of open-source software
put some serious effort into a FOSS office suite to compete with ms office or some really sleek desktop environment (or, even better, a new browser engine!) and you'll get plenty of westerners talking about how those oppressed religious minorities are actually doing fine or how media censorship makes perfect sense and everyone opposing that is just doing CIA propaganda without needing to actually teach anyone to be "i am john smith, simple farmer from seattle, washington d.c."

How do you pronounce the last consonant in the English word "licorice"?

• Yesterday was probably my last day ever of clocking in for someone else.
• Sunday I become the owner of a bookshop.
• I love the logo ideas my sister-in-law has come up with.
Happy every day I did not migrate my email to Proton. After the Trump posiitve statements now pushing people out who are not sloppy enough ... just great

@tante it really is fascinating to see how practically everyone in a leadership position acts like an addict and religious fanatic around AI. Such utter self sabotage for no noteworthy gains whatsoever

Are they using a 3rd party app like Voyager? It makes a big difference.

most of them no, which is maybe another issue of not showing that’s an option

some feedback about Lemmy/PieFed from Reddit users
I’ve tried both [Lemmy and PieFed], and the UX is incredibly unintuitive and unpleasant. The main problem is that it’s quite hard to discover content you want while avoiding content you don’t, Bluesky at least has really good custom feeds that are easy to add (the default feed sucks). Another big issue is the general site layout, it’s hard to figure out how to do things as simple as saving a post for later or how to go back to the feed without being redirected back to the post I’m trying to exit.
Maybe they didn’t see the “Feeds” feature in PieFed? The top navigation menus in PieFed are a bit messy. Although shareable blocklists could be cool too, or maybe toxic?
That’s excluding the horrible lack of contrast most frontends use, which makes reading and parsing the site elements unnecessarily difficult (no Lemmy, grey text on a grey background is not good for readability).
I like the Lemmy colors, but maybe it should be easier to change, because they might like the darkly-pureblack theme.
Fediverse feels slower, but not in a good way. More of a ‘if I don’t use this for a week, I’ll see new things’. If I log in after 2 or 3 days, I’ll scroll for 10 minutes and see the stuff I saw last time.
Maybe this is a UX issue of not finding the right feed they would like.
I’ve tried using lemmy and have exactly the same issue. After blocking all the politics stuff, left wing meme stuff and tankie stuff there’s bugger all remaining. Even with all the blocks I’ve made it just seems to be a bunch of toxic left wing people calling each other fascist because of some minor difference in opinion.
I also want nsfw stuff now and then. I hate how censored the internet has become, at least with reddit if I want to see a bit of porn, I can.
Again maybe a UX issue of not presenting what communities they could subscribe to.
I tried twice to join those forums within the Fediverse and I can’t get past the captcha test. The fact that you need approval to validate your access doesn’t seem designed to encourage you to recommend it.
The captchas on Lemmy are AWFUL, I can’t do them either.
(that’s the “Medium” difficulty)
Lemmy v1.0 is adding the ability to do invites, so maybe there will be an invite-only instance that gets some momentum, that could be cool. Invite sites seems like a cool old-internet type of culture.
The fediverse stuff is way too complicated for me, Reddit is very easily accessible and actually has active communities for the topics I’m interested in.
Of course these are naturally going to be all negative because they’re users that bounced off the Threadiverse, but there’s probably hints to what can be improved
