Bluesky has brand recognition (founded by the same dude as Twitter), more people and “feels like twitter”, in the sense of what you see, more than mastodon. Also, news outlets seem to be migrating there.

Mastodon (and pleroma, misskey, etc) is seen as a place for weirdos and techies, with “nothing interesting going on”. Several people mentioned this already one way or another, but that most servers/instances are “specific” about whatever means that people will feel that they might miss out on something by choosing the wrong server.

Neat, I might set up one of my older, currently unused phones to be my host. As soon as I figure something I want to share around

Dumb question: can anyone host a i2p site on a personal device? For instance, if I leave a PC or old phone connected to the network, how easy/hard is it to configure so I have a working site accessible to everyone on the network?

The Page d12 would put this straight in D&D territory

Game Boys are usually regarded as durable as hell. There’s even one that withstood bombing during the Gulf War (1991)

There’s also Unilever and Pepsico and their several brands to make people think there’s a choice

Microsoft has had several country govt’s dependent on their software for decades now (mostly Windows and Office, but also Azure lately). They were also deemed “not that bad, actually” by the courts for their 1990’s fuckery, so I’d say they’re the first dystopic megacorp we got.

The funny thing is that a lot of those problems are better attributed to society/culture/education than genetics or biology, since it’s people that vote/support other people. Unless you can somehow breed out psychopaths, and whatever makes people willing to sacrifice the collective for personal gain, from the human species, eugenics won’t do shit.

Are you still using the original HDD it came with, or did you change it? I have an old All-in-one, 2012 Celeron with 2GB RAM which was supposed to be my nephew’s first computer, I installed Xubuntu 18 on it, everything works fine, even some online video watching, but dear lord the R/W speeds are atrociously low, which makes starting up any program a small test of patience.

Amaranth that can grow on sand and be watered with seawater

Edit: ops, only animals? Make bees able to break down any kind of sugar into honey

Instructions unclear, I’m crying uncontrollably

You need the calories for the growth spurt, also to keep up with the ninja training

That I remember seeing, Encyclopedia Dramatica. That shit made sure to document every disgusting shit that has ever “graced” the collective mind of the internet, like 2 girls 1 cup, zippo cat, 1 guy 1 jar and other shit. Me and my stupid morbid curiosity in reading it at least got me smart enough to avoid actually watching any of those videos.

They also had a shock page with extreme scat, goatse, prolapse and whatever else you can imagine that could shock people.

1. Any law, except this one, may be subdivided into smaller sections;
2. No law may alter the first law or this law;
3. Now, let’s get to business: …

Looks like lava. Judging from the word and possible translation mistakes, I’m guessing the original pic was in spanish or portuguese (lavar is the verb for washing, so “lava” by itself could be (he/she) washes)

Everything bad going on in the world can be blamed on hedge funds and rich people. You can call it bullshit, but everyone knows it’s true. Literally everything, be it criminal waves, climate change, wars, racism, sexism, UFO sightings being covered up, the drug epidemic and other problems, all of it is entirely the fault of rich people. This is a literal, indisputable fact. Here are some sources:

The best shaman weapon

Submissive housewife is just property in the eye of the husband. “My property, I do whatever I want with it”, which also sounds eerily like slave ownership. It’s dehumanizing and women might often not be aware of that.

Instructions unclear, got my ass full of splinters
