  • I remember Chomsky getting visibly upset and telling an interviewer that talking about his first wife is upsetting and that they won’t be talking about her. It seemed like he was just sad. And it was painful.

    I have complicated feelings about that moving me so much now that I know how much Chomsky can rationalize interacting with Epstein.

  • I wouldn’t be surprised that it was just the few things I use that didn’t care. YouTube-dl was one of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was living a lie, and zsh enforced what should have been normal across the board.

  • To those who are new to this whole fediverse/threadiverse/this thing, how has your experience been?

  • I was always an iOS app person. I never liked old Reddit either. Not that I like modern Reddit more. I guess I’m maybe a bit strange like that. I prefer mobile apps over old school websites for browsing text content.

  • Lemmy really needs to get its shit together in the UI/UX dept for the default look of an instance. Mastodon does this much better.

    I can’t stand looking at Lemmy without Voyager.
