  • If it doesn't have a VGA port, I don't use it.

  • Short King
  • Jotted, brother. Have faith in Holy Terra and the Emperor of Mankind.

  • Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will
  • All that says is that we need to increase import costs 80-85% and instate a labor tariff so that the company has to pay taxes equal to a US citizen for every offshore employee.

  • How does she have an NYC area code but an NJ exchange?

  • [rant] everytime i give it a chance, btrfs lets me down
  • This is just telling me that my loyalty to FAT(32) is valid.

  • Why some people put anime girl pic to their bio?
  • Why do you have Tux? It's the same reason. People like what they like, and as long as the PFP isn't explicit, let it ride.

  • Cheating on your spouse is no longer a crime in New York
  • I'm just waiting on incoming news about Hochul cheating on her husband.

  • Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will
  • Yes, anyone reasonable knew that this would lead to higher costs. Americans are expensive to employ. The point of the tariff package is to bring back manufacturing and production to the USA. Stop importing so much crap from China and other places, and things will balance out. That increase in costs should be compensated for by jobs for American citizens across all sectors if people respect the purpose of the tariffs - to disincentivize imports whenever and however possible.

  • It's Saturday what have you watched this week?
  • I've been binging Perry Mason.

  • @Wolf314159@startrek.website No, the Kzin themselves are still brown, even with their bat-ears. It's their uniforms that got made day-glo purple.

  • Ideally, what would "discovery" look like on a social network?
  • When I say "feed", I mean the general homepage I see when I log into my account, rather than my Subscribed, Following, etc. views. I understand your concern, but if other related communities don't suit you, then you're free to block them as they come up. I think a ratio of 4 "in-bubble" to 1 "related" post would be fair. Maybe there could even be a slider somewhere depending on your software.

    One of the few reasons I've never minded that part of the presentation on larger social media sites is that they operate on an opt-out model compared to the fediverse's (current) opt-in model. But I think there's enough transparency in "you like memes@fedia.io, here's content from other groups we know with names containing 'memes'".

    I may have to try out Quiblr, but I strongly prefer kbin/mbin to Lemmy, because I enjoy interacting with both the microblog side and the thread side of the fediverse on a single account. If mbin ever gets a video tab (for Loops & PeerTube), I'm going to jump for joy.

  • How diffrent OSes evolve
  • At the time it released, 99% of my software was DOS-based, and in fact I had 1 game that I distinctly remember (Sonic CD) which only ran on Win9x, and could not run on any version of NT. I had no problems with Me, and kept a copy of it on my main PC until XP SP2.

  • Ideally, what would "discovery" look like on a social network?
  • Given the way things are in my perspective, what I want on mbin & lemmy is somewhere like a mix of 1 & 2, with 3 as a solid option. I know that the torches and pitchforks are about to come out, but I'll try to outline the way I see it.

    When I'm in a meme-scrolling mood, I have to look up meme magazines / communities to start (Method #3). Fine, that's working as intended. Obviously that will lead naturally to Method #1; as I subscribe and gradually follow other posters, my bubble will grow.

    But what I want for the 'threadiverse' is a more unified suggested page. If I'm in, let's say, memes@lemmy.world, I'd like to also have my feed show content from memes@fedia.io, or lemm.ee, or whatever other threadiverse instances that my chosen instance is federating with. I'd also like to see "subject memes" on my meme feed as a default - Science Memes, Star Trek Memes, etc.. That falls under Method #2 - because I want the software to predict that because I've subscribed to memes@*, and interacted with content from memes@*+1, that I will also like *memes*@*. Obviously this could also be a matter of tagging and magazine integration, but that's something that would help the fediverse feel more united and less daunting for people.

    Obviously dealing with the microblog side, mandatory tags or some form of community selection would be great to help out. It would be nice to see more microblog entries from Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, etc., sorted into magazine-like collections by tags.

  • Win10 is not that bad. And Me was never as bad as Vista or (especially) 8. Also, Linux is not a linear curve, it's stepped.
