Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.
I have a choice - pay for that, or pay for food, clothes, shelter, and the esoterica of existence - including debts that I got myself into stupidly because I trusted someone I should not have. There’s no amount of the money I need to live which I’m willing to expend on that.
I don’t think I’ve turned a TV onto anything live in about 3 years.
Okay - what team of devs will take over developing ActivityPub threads and Lemmy/Threadiverse?
Candy Crush, casual games, and their ads don’t exist in gaming magazines sold wrapped in plastic bags. The main demographic for game sales is casual players. The main demographic for the ads is teenage boys (or basement dwelling manchildren). They’re different markets.
I’m not interested in supporting paid search, or being subscribed to a search engine with a “try it”. So, no thank you.
That’s the sticking point. I use NoAI DDG as my main engine, but I keep having to go back to Alphabet.

For real, though, Rip Graham Greene.
I don’t care about the minimum. I care about the maximum earnings allowed annually.
To most people, “Real American” doesn’t mean the working man. It means the capitalist behind him.
Only if it’s long-term. The majority of people have introverted phases. We deserve our alone time.
No, ternary exists. We could have built computers with triodes.
Let’s Players.
Define ‘annoying shithead’ regarding YouTube. I’ve watched many annoying LPers…
if the answer isn’t “blockade it and seize every non-US vessel until we get what we want, and keep up a bombardment campaign the like of which the world has never dreamed”, it’s not going to be a long term solution.
They won’t reopen it if we let them win.
Your console has tabs if it’s a modern console.
It is - in fact, it’s Melroy’s own instance (which is why it’s still kbin, developed by Ernest). He’s developing his platform, yes, but it’s the ActivityPub commits that I’m interested in.
