hmm this is extremely “apropos” of some recent rude comments i was making on here about paying for services 😳😈

@prologic@twtxt.net also a very impressive bench 😆

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net Wow those are incredible shots. It’s such a different quality of light from where I live in Ohio lol. Reminds me of going up to Canada, really just feeling like the light itself was different! Beautiful

@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk @prologic@twtxt.net Wow it’s a Mills original! I didnt realise

@prologic@twtxt.net i might be misusing this emote. alas

@prologic@twtxt.net 🤌

@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk I’m curious, how hard is it to run an IRC server on a scale from website to mailserver? 🤔

@eaplmx@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net You’re probably not going to like this but one time I did pay for an otherwise free utility it was because I wanted to get their app on ios 😆

@eaplmx@twtxt.net all animal tool use is technology. maybe javascript and ww just suck lel

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk @mutefall@twtxt.net shit i have to do that soon. im considering “doing them myself”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de kewl

@prologic@twtxt.net cataclysm dark days ahead 😆 💀

Makes you think 🤔 about how wikipedia has managed it for so long. imo wikipedia is the unmitigated triumph of “web 2.0”. their no ads policy is impressive

I did sign up for the apple Private Relay beta for 1$ a month VPN when I realised I was on a TOTALLY UNSECURED public cafe wifi tho lol. I guess maybe that could answer your question about price point 😂

Even paying for netflix turns into “1 sub service per show” in my experience. Whereas popular network sites I use seem to be doing alright with a donations model 🤷‍♂️

I’ve seen this idea a lot over the last… decade and I don’t buy it. I’m not just a user, I also run a free ssb node for 10$ a month just because I want to. this is about the minimum thing you can do, I’m not being hammered or otherwise having to pay a lot.

However. In my experience, paying for a service… i dunno. IMO the idea that user payment can circumvent the need for ads is wrong. ultimately they still show you ads. and on top of that IMO a paying user is a “mark”. If they pay they can be relied upon to pay more. and case in point everything I’ve ever paid for has ended up fucking me. in both cases (LOL) selling out to microsoft and ending up with “well we’ve invented new payment tiers so cough up your phone number and more money etc”. just my experience 🤷‍♂️

#nerdshit any nerds in here run their desktop in console mode? 😝 i spent all day reading crap in newsboat and googling stuff in links browser. Got ii in another panel absorbing whatever those goofballs are talking about. guys in minecraft channel sharing uptodate covid news. Basically what more do you need? even my new favorite game is console mode.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net its march tho?

lol guys im loving this because im tryna career change from science to “tech”. i aint tryna get a cert, just need to get hired lel

@nexeq@twtxt.net be cool imo

@mckinley@twtxt.net lmfao that’s not a bad logo though 🤔

@tkanos@netbros.com I like the middle one

did ubuntu change its logo? how ugly!

@maya@maya.land lol thats how the romans did it iirc. in my opinion: we should have 1 time zone for the planet, but broadly ignore the details

guys im 100% ubuntu and ios on phone macbook vps and ipad. but, im feeling da call of arch. especially after update+upgrade my ubuntu/macpro and it takes 5 minutes to like… update thunderbird(???) guis overrated? I’m getting more and more butthurt about the modern web, switched from firefox to links (lol). might be arch time

incredibly bold choice of font for gorion,…. 🤔

Seems to me there’s an obvious and easy solution 😝

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Fair. I just use SMS for push messaging

Oh this thread is about ppl’s families. Good luck 😂

delta chat is great and irc is great on mobile if you use thelounge as I do. It’s seamless and has pictures and emoji and history and all the stuff people complain about irc not having. That being said I also dont know anyone who uses delta chat. 😭 😝

@prologic@twtxt.net thought experiment: what happens if every feed is on a different pod?

@prologic@twtxt.net For polling feeds on other pods or?

I actually saw a post somewhere, I can’t remember where, where a guy said he got banned off of Facebook and it disabled his kids VR headset Christmas gift. 🤣 Unbelieveable

@prologic@twtxt.net 100% 😆 3rd life… come on bro!

When you have one of those do you have to re reg it every year or? Am I being ripped off with my 18$ a year domain? 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net That domain name is worth half a mil though. awooga

@prologic@twtxt.net Merry Christmas!!!!!

@stutteringsteve@twtxt.net I’ve seen it but never “got it”. Did you post these scripts online somewhere? im curious how fzf works for these applications

omg I’m 30 and I’m terrified of this bullshit

I enjoy this opinion

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com That looks very effective. Gotta have the coffee press as well for filtering purposes

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com I’ve been buying gigantic tins of pre ground stuff for 7 dollars and “cold brewing” it with tap water. every efficient and delicious

@slashdot oh wow. i figured they were just going to tie the whole thing like last year. Well done magnus

@prologic@twtxt.net allumino you say?

• using functions without reading the docs
  
• not reading the instructions in general
  

why is my life so hard?

@prologic@twtxt.net no offense prologic but all this shit is dead nowadays in usa.. maybe aus is a little delayed?? that being said i miss it too

I’ve been using a combination of “one password for everything” (bad i know) and a sh script to make strong passwords for stuff that matters but I’ll probabaly switch to pass. The problem is we passed the point years ago where passwords that are secure (?) and meet the insane special character requirements are passwords I feel like typing out or even remembering. Kind of like I used to memorise my friends’ phone numbers as a kid but no more… that reminds me, I was recently able to log into my employer retirement account with just my birthdate and VOIP number 😂 💀

Hm reminds me of New Orleans 😀

Good stuff!
