@Twig did they really try to spin the let's go brandon meme into something positive? 😹

politicians should be judged on for how many deaths they are responsible. that's the metric.

@sun @CookieJarObserver @McMongoose @Tony @graf @j Yeah, the lady was talkin' about this a while ago. The Dalai Lama gave the dean of one of the departments at MIT some decorative thing made of human skin when she was in school, and she thought it was kind of a fluke, then a couple of weeks ago she goes on this tear about "EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT THE BOOMERS CLAIMED WAS GOOD WAS A PIECE OF SHIT".
@sun @CookieJarObserver @McMongoose @Tony @graf @j Yeah, Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Mother Theresa, there were a few other people that figured prominently in her rant, it was kinda hilarious. It is a shame that I was the only person there to listen to it.

It looks like there are now three parts of the fediverse: the Mastodon side, the "free-speech side", and the instances that are allowed to federate with threads.

ist ja nicht so als ob die afd mir am ende des tages weniger freiheit wegnehmen würde als die restlichen.

please guys just one more containerized package manager i swear it will become the future of software distribution this time please just install it alongside your 7 package managers
it needs at least 30 gb of space and creates eternal mess in your filesystem and breaks most of user defined settings and contains vulnerabilites that we might fix next summer but it's way easier than apt install or pacman --sync trust me

> Bökenkröger nannte es "geschmacklos", dass die Tat von Bad Oeynhausen ohne Wissen über die Hintergründe "von bestimmten Kräften" politisch instrumentalisiert werde. Das helfe niemandem und sei für die Familie unerträglich.

ich persönlich finde es ja geschmacklos wenn monatlich menschen von "schutzsuchenden" ermordet werden und das mehr oder weniger als neue normalität hingenommen werden soll.

aber ich bin vermutlich rechtsextrem oder so.

You wonder why they keep removing useful things? It's due to the inhuman, mechanical "metrics" based UX design, part of the tracking and spying is looking at which buttons users tend to press the most. So if you have an obscure but important setting like this, maybe 0.3% of the users ever press this button, and maybe once or twice. So it comes up in their analysis as something superfluous and when they go to add a new feature their mechanical policy says they have to remove something old, so they see this button and other very low usage buttons and they remove them to make way for the new feature. They never even think about what the button is for. Also the reason they added the new feature was because their "velocity" policy says they have to add x amount of new features each year. It's make-busy work, doing things for the sake of doing them.

This is why Youtube keeps changing and removing things people like, because the average viewer on a phone only presses "play", this is why the new windows control panel cannot do even 40% of what the old control panel could do, etc. etc.
They've cut logic and reason out of the design process, literally.
