  • When I was experimenting as a quite young teen, I routinely used a 10mm Allen wrench for 'self exploration.' One day I wanted to try something bigger but the only thing that fit the bill was the handle of a hammer... Surely lubricated wood is more gentle than cold hard steel? Eh... Suffice it to say: the blunt end and relatively sharp corners were not kind to my small behind. Life is full of lessons, and some are a pain in the ass.

  • Unless there's more to that, the spez claim is probably bullshit. Obama was a mod of r/jailbait. Anyone could be added as a mod and they didn't have to accept.

  • Wails with Svelte is really nice... Idk why more projects don't use stuff like that. I get wanting webtech; no one wants to write GUI in C, but Electron is a blight

  • But now they have a way to draw attention at least. No one notices missing data

  • Breathing is woke

  • What a dumb take lol

  • Damn entitled people, wanting to live within 4 hours of where they work...

  • Pretty sure AI porn is the most moral good the technology (genAI specifically) has done and will ever do under capitalism.

  • Except the sync / group watch feature is pretty broken which makes me sad

  • Weeds are just underappreciated, socially-uncool plants

  • Me as a kid: "how could they let that happen?"

    Me now: "... ah ..."

  • Yeah my first thought was "you know what? Now that you mention it, I'd be more than happy with that. I didn't even think of it as an option but yeah, sure, let's give it a go"

  • Booooo

  • I had no idea. Wow

  • Oooooh

    ...huh.

  • Perhaps an open set of standards at the least. Some form of super-oauth would be required but I should have clarified that the openness of a true federation-like model is aspirational: invisioned as a conscious and intentional rejection of the ever-increasing monetization, financialization, and enshittification of all mediums of social interaction.

    People didn't jump on the FB metaverse partly because it was shit, but partly because it was painfully obvious it was full of grift and a billionaire's wet dream of further social monopolization. From the moment it was pitched, no one (but people who stood to gain) thought it would succeed. The friction and frustration has been increasing. The world falling apart makes the little nagging annoyances just that much more irritating, and people are starting to actively resist them rather than just rant and succumb. Social peer pressures are starting to move the needle too.

  • Others gave reference to the origins, but in practical terms think: gravatar meets roblox meets VRC, scaled and decentralized as a VR web.

  • The metaverse, in some form, is nearly inevitable IMO. But it'll be a federated-like infrastructure and I'm very glad Facebook will have fuck all to do with it.
