How long do you think before he just vanishes?

Southern Hemisphere. It’s late spring there.

I’ve been saying that about Twitter and Reddit from the beginning. Both have been platforms responsible for significant progressive organization. The Arab Spring would likely not have happened without Twitter. Conservatives know they cannot compete in the “marketplace of ideas”, so their only means to compete is to silence the competition by dismantling the platforms progressives use to organize and communicate their ideas.

Somebody explained to him that he can’t release something that doesn’t actually exist.

Society is working just fine for those of us who haven’t abandoned objective reality.

Yeah. All those damned Jewish Nazis in charge over there.

If you were any dumber, you’d be a doorstop.

“Wrote a wrapper”. Oh, is that all? It’s just that easy, huh?

Then why can none of these FOSS apps deliver the same experience, if Dawson is such an untalented hack?

You either have no clue of what you’re talking about, or you’re a troll. From my perspective, there is no substantive difference. If it’s such an easy shtick, the do it yourself, and do a better job. Put up, or shut up. Nobody asked for your respect, and I’m certain you know precisely where you can shove it.

It’s amazing how divorced from reality the FOSS obsessed can be whenever anyone mentions non-FOSS apps. Nobody is bending over backwards, and nobody is sucking anyone’s schlong. If Sync were to have been FOSS, you’d be first in line to sing its praises. This trollish behavior doesn’t win anyone over to the “All Software Must Be Foss” camp at all. Must be a PC Master Race thing.

Your comment misses the very important point that nobody who experienced this issue had the clairvoyance to screenshot their cleared profile on Day A to prove that their comments were restored on Day B, C, or D. You’re expecting someone to have explicitly predicted that exact circumstance and deliberately documented it before it ever happened to them. That’s like complaining to your neighbor they they can’t prove the scratch wasn’t already in their car door after they watch you hit it with your own.

I was super excited for my Transformers Legacy Skyquake to arrive today.

It didn’t arrive, which is a bummer.

But I get to look forward to getting it tomorrow, and I’m still really excited for it!

Awesome, thanks for that! So it does something akin to a doubled d in English.

So how does one pronounce the double t “tt”?

I used Linux Mint for several years on a dual-boot laptop. I rarely found myself booting Windows. While there was a learning curve, Mint was fairly accessible out of the box and was generally a delight to use. Until it wasn’t. At some point, the drivers for my video card updated, and just flat broke everything. And I can’t really use a computer on which I can’t see the desktop. I waited. And waited. A fix for the driver may have eventually come, but after awhile, booting into Windows just became my default, until eventually I just wiped the Linux partition to recover the storage space.

It was fun while it lasted, and I may choose one day to give it another go for the fourth time. This wasn’t the first time I’ve had something like this happen. First time was with Fedora, and the second was Ubuntu. Each time, I had the same “it worked until it didn’t” experience, and each time it stopped working was usually some kind of broken driver making my hardware incompatible.

Same. Only reason my account hasn’t been deleted is so I can continue to purge anything that magically returns, which seems to be a lot so far. I delete comments, everything shows deleted, two days later see a response to a comment that shouldn’t exist anymore.

Honestly, I feel like a lot of that was backlash to the insane number of Russians using cheats and hacks in Counter Strike, Ghost Recon, and Call of Duty. I played a lot around 2000-2010, and more often than not, if a match was ridiculously tilted, it was a Russian or Chinese player using wallhacks.

Yeah, actually. This has completely derailed what has historically been a powerful platform for progressive and leftist movements going into a US election cycle. Same with Twitter. Meanwhile, the MAGA propaganda machine at Meta chugs along unfettered.

I can’t see any other motivation. There is certainly no economic incentive to run either business as they have been, but running the companies into the ground as a means to control or destroy opposition communication platforms definitely makes sense.

Just deleted my Instagram account. I really want go delete Facebook and remove all things Meta from my life.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I was almost done with the game before I realized you leveled up in camps and inns. Game went from really hard to pushover easy in 5 minutes.

I’m learning a lot about that. I find it refreshing to be on a platform built around ensuring both the safety and visibility of queer voices. While parts of Reddit definitely felt that way, recent history has made it very clear that that’s subject to change, and Reddit is swerving aggressively right.
