Ditto. I don’t want to say things about my past here, because I was really bad at times. But. for my first instance ban ever, I want to earn a ban.

Thank you for making content related to the celebratory return of the Super Dimensional Fortress!

Being online via Lemmy caused me not one, but 2 mental collapses (I’m fine now, diagnosed with bipolar and have meds now) so I decided to give PieFed a shot, since I get bored on “fedi” (I hate that name for the Misskey forks). The promise of better features faster seemed amazing (politics of Lemmy devs aside). I’ve been around since the very first day of the Reddit API fiasco, and despite this 2 week-old account, I’ve been around the block. The age of this account is not coincidental. Thankfully, the FAF exposed Rimu’s bullshit so I decided to start fresh yet again with the FAF (I’m already an anarchist, so why not?) due to this inexcusable drama stirring.

My biggest hope is that the AN fork of PieFed is deployed soon and properly maintained, because Rimu has changed from “dev making a new product with easy contributions” to “perhaps the biggest authoritarian threat to the threadiverse driven by sycophants” in a matter of weeks.

Rimu has banned some of the largest voices on the platform with this fell-swoop. This entire thing likely deserves its own static website in order to document what’s going on, because people on the flagship PieFed instance are never likely to see it. I may do this just because this is worse more than many realize, I think. We collectively saw threads dot net happening and basically all of the threadiverse defederated due to obvious foreseeable issues.

This reminds me of that guy that was DM’ing people with a ban every time they used the word “bro” but on a much larger and more influential scale. We aren’t talking about a mod (that was on piefed btw, I think he made his own instance) now, but an entire development effort that can deeply harm not only this platform, but the very idea of this platform as a whole.

In short,
FUCK RIMU

We went from Dan Quayle being universally shamed and humiliated for misspelling “potato” via an incorrect flash card provided by a teacher to… whatever the fuck this is.

Joro spiders do this, and they are a real problem here.

Barney Miller, but I don’t think he’s a detective.

In a way, this is just a reinvention of line quotas from the past. Neither are good for making something of quality.

Time is more like a cube. You see, in 1884,  meridian time personnel met in Washington to change Earth time. First words said was that only 1 day could be used on Earth to not change the 1 day bible. So they applied the 1 day  and  ignored  the  other  3 days. The bible time was wrong then and it proved wrong today. This a major lie has so much evil feed from it’s wrong. No man on Earth has no belly-button, it proves every believer on Earth a liar.

I would absolutely love for freeCAD to have complete feature and usability parity with MasterCAM, but it isn’t even kind of close to usability or functionality to the major corporate offerings.

Once you know how to use markdown, it’s so much faster than any kind of gui imo.

I am not going to or trusting reddit to verify that. Someone posted it on fedi and I captioned it.

This is true, but think of things on a large (soon to be bankrupt) casino scale. That’s where we get this pool from.

There are so many “rule books” that in some way or another (at least slightly) contradict each other that I am not sure where to start on this.

It does get refurbished every so often. That’s his excuse for making it tacky, the way he prefers things.

Holy shit what a scummy kind of pay wall. “Pay to reject personalized advertisements.” No, fuck off The Sun.

Thanks, I added the link in the post body.

Missing the alt text on this one is a big oof. I have fixed that and will add the thread link when I get a chance later. I need to not post when half asleep.

1,000% this.

Simply because you have not encountered it does not mean that it does not exist.

ETA; why are you downvoting every opinion that you do not agree with without further explanation? Your votes are public. That is worth knowing.

My brother is very disabled (diabetic and neuropathy to the point where he can’t even hold a plate of food). The sentiment of someone like that being completely unable to contribute any kind of labor is sadly all over the place. Some, sadly, think of labor as “meaningful work” in the sense of tilling fields etc., but disabled people can very much aid in the society in terms of art, writing, or just being a joy and inspiration to those around them.
