@kaiaskinoklub To me, Sat at 20CEST (real life usually gets in the way if it's later than that) would be best, but I must admit that the movie itself has a bigger influence on my decision to join in or not. Sometimes I'm just not interested in it.

@renai You're not missing much. She's forgettably boring.

@freemo In any case, I think your general point (that free speech instances are frowned upon due to certain people being edgy) was true in the past, but not so much today. I believe those who came in the Twitter migrations wanted a place where they could feel relaxed and be themselves, and instead got a place full of ultrasensitive vigilantes.

I think the tables have turned and free speech has become popular again (a necessity, even), because a lot of people feel constrained by all those “unwritten rules” mentioned in the article @Moon linked to.

@coolboymew @McMongoose @tomey

@freemo I have to disagree with you there. It takes very little time and effort to curate your own TL. I interact a lot with free speech instances and I don't get all that many racist or sexist posts. Certainly not enough to make curating my TL a full-time job. On most occasions I don't even care to block or mute because I know I won't be seeing those accounts again.

If you're referring to people like the sandwich guy, he was a very special case, fortunately.

@coolboymew @McMongoose @Moon @tomey

@veer66 @lupyuen Leaving any part of the Internet in the hands of anti-social, anti-fun people was and will always be a mistake.

@coolboymew Glad you liked it.

@LibrosdeBabel Nunca entenderé este tipo de cosas. Liyeralmente van en contra de lo que pretenden.

Cuando era niño, leí _La isla del tesoro_ en una versión simplificada. El problema es que yo no lo sabía. Lo disfruté mucho, pero ya nunca he leído el original. No sé lo que me he perdido.

Si lo que se quiere es estimular la lectura, son los padres los que tienen que leer a los niños los originales y explicárselos y hacérselos amenos.

Cuando mi sobrino tenía uno o dos años, le puse _2001, una odisea del espacio_. Hasta que llegó su madre hecha una furia a quitarla como si le hubiese puesto pornografía le estaba encantando, porque yo se la explicaba como si fuese una película sobre monos y eso le hacía mucha gracia.

@coolboymew You probably know about them already, but if you like shoegaze, I'd like to recommend a band called Asobi Seksu.

@ola Mucho ánimo, Ola. Ojalá te dejen pronto tranquilo. ¿Estás dejando constancia (vídeos, testigos, etc.) de que tú sí te has presentado aunque la fiscalía se niegue a reconocerlo?

@kopio I once tried Misskey and, in general, it was _much better_ than Mastodon.

@lydiaconwell

@thor That reminds me of a slowed down version of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' released a few years ago. It sounded like a man singing poignantly.

@mixxio Tengo que reconocer que esos comentarios que se hacen sobre Slackware (sin mala intención, sin duda) me resultan ofensivos. Es como si dijeran: “no debería existir, pero ahí sigue.“ O: “hace veinte años años que no la uso, pero sin duda debe de haberse mantenido exactamente igual que la recordaba.” O: “si la usas es porque eres muy raro/reaccionario/no sabes que hay distros mejores.”

Pues, oye, yo uso Slackware en todos mis equipos y no soy un dinosaurio. Mis paquetes están, en general, más actualizados que los de cualquiera que use, por ejemplo, Debian; no uso systemd (ni quiero), y siento que tengo mucho más control sobre mi sistema (sin que el proceso me robe tiempo) que si usara cualquier otra distribución.

Finalmente, si ahí sigue después de treinta años, será que no es tan minoritaria. Muchas supuestamente más populares se quedaron en el camino, como Mandrake.

How would I find it useful when I can't interact with the other person?

@Archivist Don't worry, I just wanted to make the joke. French people are cool. Unlike the Germans. Germans are the scum of the Earth.

@libreleah @ariadne

@Tijn What do you expect? The posts you're shown depend on what your instance (and you, as a user) can see. If your instance is trigger-happy on defederation, you'll be missing on a lot of content, but that's not the software's or the protocol's fault, but your admin's.

If you don't want to miss anything (or at least would prefer to have control over what you miss), you should join a free speech instance and take care of your own moderation (which is not hard at all, by the way).

@heydon

@ram I fail to see how that was Slackware's fault. The Linux kernel itself was barely two years old and it would take another year for it to reach version 1.0. Were you really expecting it to be an easy ride? That's like trying to use Plan 9 or Temple OS for serious work and feeling cheated when one realises they're not well suited for it.

But that's not important. What really made me curious was the reason why you said that Slackware was “notoriously easy to break” when it is universally regarded as the most stable and rock-solid distro in existence. What did you do to break the actual distribution?

@birnim@fosstodon.org

@libreleah Oh, a French. That explains both the rudeness and the wrongness.
