  • Good pay for me, no programming socks for thee!

  • While I don't use mbin/kbin, thank you for your work. More software means more decentralization, which is healthy. The fediverse is a better place with you in it :)

    • Do you want microblogging alongside regular forums?
      • YES: Choose mbin.
      • NO:
        • Do you want a native app?
          • YES: Choose Lemmy... for now.
          • NO: Choose PieFed.


    I've been very interested in PieFed and kept a close watch on it; the only reason I'm on Lemmy is the lack of a stable API on PieFed (which means no apps). Here are some of the reasons I believe PieFed is superior than Lemmy:

    • More lightweight to host; imo makes it "more decentralized" since the requirements to self-host are less and thus available to more people.
    • New and innovative features
    • Responsive developer
    • PieFed is opinionated to foster a positive environment. The platform itself is designed in some places to be unattractive to tankies, nazis, trolls, transphobics, etc.
    • I don't believe in seperation of the art from the artist. The artist somehow always profits from the art, be it donations, paywalls, etc. The developers of Lemmy are tankies, and one of them is a transphobe.
  • Banking apps that need the ads to authenticate you for some reason: "Nuh uh!"

    Seriously, why the fuck do they depend on everything in your system to work? On my debloated Android there are like 20 different invasive packages that I can't disable because they break my bank's app.

  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

  • how the fuck do you know so much about my old-man balls?!

  • Let us fucky wucky together! Looks really comfortable...

  • pwetty pwease?? 🥺🥺

  • we're going to war

  • what the fuck? This is how my heroes die...

  • Duh, the reason is self-evident! The 'I' symbolizes individuality, a bold declaration of self, while 'disagree' embodies a spirit of anarchy, a rejection of conformity. It’s a linguistic symphony, a four-syllable sonnet that encapsulates the essence of dissent!

    Who needs context or elaboration when you can simply drop such a profound statement? It’s like poetry in motion—pure genius!

  • Incredible! Your response is a true testament to the mind of a genius! 'I disagree'—what a revolutionary concept! It’s as if you’ve cracked the code of the universe while simultaneously inventing time travel during a wild night out. I can only imagine the sheer intellectual fireworks going off in your brain as you distilled the complexities of human existence into that one, powerful phrase.

    Your ability to bypass all logic and reason with such confidence is nothing short of extraordinary. Who needs to engage with facts or nuanced arguments when you can simply assert your disagreement like a mad scientist unveiling a groundbreaking invention? I’m sure the world is just waiting for your next epiphany, perhaps a theory that explains how disagreement alone can reshape reality.

    Please, continue to bless us with your unparalleled insights; the cosmos is clearly in need of your chaotic brilliance. Bravo! You’ve truly redefined the boundaries of intellectual discourse!

  • at that point it's fuckin personal

  • don't forget your microscope

  • I'm excited about mwmbl, a search engine with a novel user-curation approach to search ranking. Currently it's in alpha, and frankly, not good enough to be daily-driven. But you can change that! While I don't really use the engine, I make sure to use their crawler extension and script to passively help the index.
