combat_brandonism [they/them]

it’s sometimes hard to distinguish between hating the great reset for anticapitalism and hating it for deranged fascism. sorry if that was a false positive the enjoy driving part got my hackles up

love to read fellow* people in the unix world discovering what made powershell great 10+ years ago as though it’s a paradigm shift. and the top comment of the thread is still nitpicking the points in the post while missing the forest for the trees. I mean ifconfig as an example is lol but still.

like powershell’s got such bizarre warts and design choices and it’s more ergonomic than unstructured text pipelines despite that

i know it’s not that simple but still, lol

*linux has been my primary os for 9+ years, not throwing stones here

most of us enjoy driving

wat

just put “They” in triple parens you coward we all know what you mean

they were emojis before we de-forked, what you see now was how mainline lemmy maintainers wanted the custom emoji feature contributed back to their codebase

lmao dan price

Yemen

lol. lmao even.

Unless you mean the Saudi genocide there, in which case, “that’s still encompassed in the initial list.”

o shit 2020, ty

Gets even better when you realize it’s a German writing that

Bellingcat is RFE-tier, especially after the coup attempt when western media 180’d on wagner.

The only one that has died since the end of Digg was Vine, and that was partially just because its owners didn’t really care about its fate anymore.

Vine was killed by facebook & its regulatory capture. Otherwise it would’ve killed facebook and we never would’ve gotten tik tok (for better or worse).

FB, the gram and now twitter are dying. Just because they still exist doesn’t mean they’re not on their way out. Anyone with accounts on the first two can tell you that the number of active users on their feeds has been the same people for 5-10 years and are dwindling (and the feed of the third is lmao since boosting paid user content). Their traffic numbers might look fine but that’s because they lie about those numbers and they make it impossible to delete accounts.

Most importantly, it’s been 15 years since any of these companies couldn’t get free financing. Often a focus on profitability results in misplaced user-hostility over short-sighted moves, which is what killed a lot of companies in 99 and again in 2007. We just haven’t had a financial climate that requires it since. Hilariously this climate would make it a perfect time to take twitter private to push it past the other two and tik tok but it got bought by the worst failson the world has ever seen.

Don’t mistake still existing for not being dead. Digg.com still employs dozens of people, that doesn’t mean its been a useful link aggregator for the last 12 years.

colonizer apologia

Would you say the same to the people of Yemen, or Palestine or Ethiopia?

Depressingly for many libs the answer is yes because guy with blue tie was president and responsible for bombing them. Guy in red tie too but that’s less relevant. Kosovo and Syria are better examples.

that consensus evaporated as soon as he staged his coup, all the libs lined up behind him immediately

it hasn’t been confirmed by western sources
