I use the fedia.io search, and also search engines to try and find what I’m after. Ddg barely has any fediverse results at all and none of them are relevant. The fedia search sometimes has what I’m after, but I have to treat like the oldschool searches that didn’t even allow for words being misspelled in order to find anything.

If I’m searching for a synonym to what I type, there’s no hope for me using the fedia.io tool.

I think there’s a pretty solid difference between comments on reddit vs here, and has been since the start, but it also does feel like the comments on reddit have become a lot nastier than I used to use it. No idea which one changed more to cause the bar to be adjusted.

Or searchable. I’ve tried several times to find things I’d seen previously on the fediverse and a solid two thirds I just couldn’t find them again.

Reddit results on the other hand are basically a perfect match anytime I want to find something.

Ish? You can get a solid enough ar15 for about 800$ these days, just gotta know where to look. https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/mp-15-sport-iii pcpartpicker says that 64gb ddr5 is about 800$ at the absolute cheapest, so ram being higher priced is a fair take, even if it’s not entirely 100% correct.

Fwiw, this meme has been around for about a year now, and it was very much true the last time I priced things out. Guns just started to catch up, price wise.

*edit

I checked the actual store prices for the gun I listed, not the MSRP, and its definitely cheaper than ram. Meme is 100% correct. Barebones ram costs more than barebones ar15.

This is some high quality memeing, for sure. Very funny, and really thoughtful editing.

Are they mutually exclusive? I would love to see tempered glass combined with chemically hardened glass for an even more durable dinner set?

they’re actively hiding a major selling point for some reason.

This is the only conclusion I could come to as well. They have it on their kickstarter, but not on their website, which is full of hippie stuff (neutral) instead for some reason. The old version didn’t use the process, and the new version does, but only according to the kickstarter about it.

The article also mentioned soulbottles, which is modern recreation of these east Germany glass cups.

Very cool.

Lol, I grew up with the 98se theme and xp theme, and at this point i just think they’re both incredibly ugly. Peak windows desktop prettiness and usability was windows 7 for me.

I don’t watch horror movies. I do not do well with them. It’s a blanket rule for me.

Yeah. It sucks, but discord replaced all the old clients for damn good reasons. I just wish that the open source clients had the features that discord does.

I’m hoping xep-0503 gets implemented in a couple xmpp clients at some point soon. That’ll make xmpp have feature parity with discord, except for ease of use, which is a barrier I’m willing to help friends/family work through in order to never have to switch chat clients ever again, since xmpp has been around for nearly thirty years now.

This isn’t targeted at you, zen_shinobi, specifically, but you are the latest example of one of my pet peeves, so I’m replying here.

Mumble doesn’t have text channels.

Everytime time I see a discord alternative proposed it always has at least one major feature missing. Discord isn’t just popular because it has almost always works out of the box, but because it has every single feature a communication platform could want. This makes it incredibly easy to use in practically every context.

Iphones revolutionized the phone space because they combined PDAs and cell phones in a very easy to use package, not because they did something completely new.

Discord combined video, audio, AND text into an incredibly easy to use package, and became the biggest chat platform in the world because of it.

Nothing is an entirely valid discord alternative until it has feature parity, including ease of use and compatibility, and I haven’t found a single alternative that does that yet. (And isn’t vibecoded slop, venture funded, incredibly early alpha, difficult or impossible to set up or even connect to, or some combination of the previous).

Gamevox is a new option I’m seeing, but it’s also for profit, and I’m sick and tired of switching software just to see it get sold to a vc company and enshittified right underneath me.

New word! googles

Dammit, it’s just a new typo not a new word.

Thanks for the writeup. I will never watch these, but it’s neat to be aware of what might be in the zeitgeist right now.

Obviously not. https://sidewalkbubblegum.com/aha-graffiti/

Well, except for the people that use the policy to keep their bosses accountable for letting them have comparatively reasonable hours.

I’ve used fedora in the past and enjoyed it. I’m just super basic and really love how cinnamon feels and looks. The other thing is I’m older now, and prefer to have a desktop that just works, or at least, keeps the same quirks it had last year, rather than having new quirks every update. I’ve been on the same install of mint for several years now because that.

For sure, this new update will likely be enough to get me to change my position on that if it works as I’m hoping it might.
