@Miaourt I like types and I like pointers!

@0x1C3B00DA The post you were referring to didn't even mention the word Fediverse. I don't even remember seeing it in any part of the thread.

Most people talk about Mastodon, the Mastodon Network, etc. People who use Fediverse know what they're talking about and it's not Mastodon.

@0x1C3B00DA Nobody uses Fediverse as a synonym for Mastodon. It's literally the opposite.

@vaartis Why the fuck did I have to look it up? I just thought it was the little prince's asteroid and you were making one of your weird ass jokes!

@radix023 Thank you, friend. Saved.

@bonifartius Yeah, they've been fucking trash for years now.

By the way, in this video, or maybe in another one, Glenn points out that one of the justifications bin Laden gives in the letter for 9/11 attacks (i.e., that, because the US have free elections, everyone was responsible for the actions of their government and that made them an acceptable target) is the same one the Israeli government uses for the genocide in Gaza (i.e., that a part of the population, not even a majority, voted for Hamas in 2005, so they're all Hamas and that's why they should all be blown to smithereens, children and women included).

@thor The hypocrisy of The Guardian (and everyone else to a degree) is that they have hosted that letter for more than twenty years, but removed it just when people became interested in it, which proves that they only had it there for virtue-signalling points.

Wow, even archive.org have removed access to The Guardian's translation of bin Laden's “Letter to America”. I thought they had only one job and it was _the exact opposite_ of that.

Here's one of the few journalists with a spine making the case for why you should be allowed to read it:

@espanabizarra Yo soy ateo, pero sé que para que se te perdonen los pecados hay que cumplir varios requisitos, entre ellos el dolor de contrición y el propósito de enmienda, así como (y en este caso quizá sea lo más importante para los manifestantes), cumplir la penitencia.

Ahora en serio, si los nacionalistas creen que lo que hicieron está bien, ¿por qué buscar la amnistía? Cuando yo hago algo bien no busco el perdón de nadie. Tal como yo lo veo, la amnistía está mal por ambas partes, pero el gobierno podría haber sido más listo y haberlo vendido como una bajada de pantalones de Puigdemont, que quería librarse de la acción de la justicia a toda costa, magnanimidad del estado español y bla, bla, bla. ¿Acaso creyeron que Junts no les daría los votos si decían eso? Se los iban a dar sí o sí, porque no se van a ver en otra igual en su vida.

@coolboymew I liked _Hidamari Sketch_ also, but I haven't seen that particular OVA. Judging by the title, you'd be starting from the end, but it ran for several seasons.

@coolboymew _Natsu no Arashi_ was pretty good and the soundtracks of both seasons were great.

Also, this is one of the first (if not the actual first) places where I heard Yakushimaru Etsuko's voice.

@veer66 Is it a daemon or just very slow?

@hund You can't start a sentence with ‘but’ because then it would not be a complete sentence (that is, if you isolate it from the rest of the discourse, it makes no sense by itself). A ‘but’ only works in opposition to something else, which is why it should be preceded by whatever it's opposing and separated from it by a comma or a semicolon.

Of course, when I say “you can't” I really mean “you shouldn't if you want to adhere strictly to a correct syntax.“ Informally, we all understand stuff like: “But I want candy, mom!”
