I’ll have you know I meow at the ship computer.

Yes, intelligence is intelligence. There’s nothing about the rest of the body that the brain is encased in that makes one more or less deserving of rights.

I’m with old Dr. McCoy from that one TNG episode on this one. Not a chance.

Hey! I love your avatar.

I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.

Wholesome. Gotta make due with whatever you can.

Sorry mom.

Oh wow! My bad, I’m a Linux novice. I just subbed because I’m interested in getting started.

Ah gotcha, but still. Damn.

3% of all computers is pretty damn significant.

Same. I stopped frequently commenting on reddit when the site became filled with outrage-bait and various agenda-pushing.

Lemmy feels more user-driven and authentic, so I’m participating a ton more.

I thought Lemmy would just take over my mobile usage, and I would still visit reddit on desktop. Turns out I’m just using Lemmy on both because the vibe here is more fun.

I’m here for them

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

It’s a weird feeling not being targeted with content and ads. I forgot what it was like.

I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.

The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think “Weird. Moving on.” and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they’ll get what’s coming to them.

It’s not all bad, but I miss the sort of “wild west” feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn’t real life.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like “Gary’s Favorite Garlic Breads”, just run by Gary, who isn’t trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

I think it’s a cool look.

Both of you are shortened for me, unlike most others in this comment section. Weird.

Hi Dr Zoidberg!
