mastod is alright it's progress in its scope.

but sometimes i wonder why i'm inflicting social media to myself. we're all meddling with things we shouldn't know about. social media is a terrible way to share information. it's a terrible way to live. not implying that any other is better or good, again, that being the main issue. i shouldn't participate and i know it but i got dragged in and just bathed in the fucking thing and now there is regret. and i laughed at people mentioning addiction.

me: should i do that or maybe...

brain, unhelpful: what's the fucking point,

@sirosenbaum i currently believe that binary means anyone who believes in a binarity in gender and being strictly in one of the two, so yes they may

@vantablack don't ask get high quick and forget about it

@Elizafox i close emacs with :q but that's just me

this is extremely true for protocols

i could make much better than ostatus and activitypub because that's just the kind of shit that i enjoy doing and have been doing for fun way too much

i'm not *thankful* for those. i use them out of humility. that's how standards work. you take whatever is good enough for the job and you make it work.

fun fact I think BDFL and people "owning" projects is fine, but of course also that forking projects is a fundamental right that must always be supported by the original community as much as possible. it's an opportunity to grow or to make enemies depending on how you take it

something very common in (free) software that I hate is the "I made it first therefore you owe it to me/us"

like, buddy,, i had all the shitty ideas you can come up with, better, someday when i was 15 while bored in math class, and i'm sure many did. sometimes you're not the hero you just happen to have money or time and energy to spend. fix your ego it's leaking everywhere

@vantablack yeah fucking fuck

@Mainebot @vantablack ye i don't mind it existing really

@Elizafox big relatood

@vantablack which could have been even quicker by giving less fucks tho

@a_breakin_glass ye focusing solely on profit ruins everything

@a_breakin_glass "least waste and human labor" looks okay

@a_breakin_glass because most of the time efficiency requires large scale

hello this is lightning

uhhhhhhh the algorithm is a mess but somehow it's fast and okay?

@Elizafox how dare you fav a toot from last year im pretty sure it's illegal

@CountZero ça a l'air d'être un problème uniquement pour les gens dessus, si jamais ils se mettent à spam pour récupérer des clics je bloquerait l'instance
