iPhones and iPads may be trash but macOS is still certified UNIX and the Apple silicon M1-M4 are honestly game changers in PC CPU design.

I would never buy an iPhone or an iPad.

I would definitely, on the other hand, pay some good money for a high end mac. I just simply don’t have that kind of money to throw around. But if I did, I would.

RIP to one more thing a big corporation bought and successfully murdered. Skype before Microsoft was literally amazing.

Or do you just mean something like an ISP cooperative group?

Yeah something more like this.

The real issue is lack of community-run ISPs. We can self-host all we want, but we’re still using the network paths of major providers when data is in transit.

More community run mesh networks. More community run fiber networks. Generally, just more community, less business.

Okay, sure, that’s all valid, but that means nothing when it comes to endless articles wishcasting about the current price. I’ve seen these articles for almost two months now, when Tesla hit its lowest point in 2025 on March 10th. Sure, this could be a dead cat bounce, but until it actually starts crashing, it isn’t anything other than wishcasting.

I’ll give a damn when it drops lower than its lowest point in January of 2023 at $113. It’s got a loooong way to drop before it passes that point. Below that is when the stock will potentially become terminal. Tesla is rigged and being floated by foreign interests, and it’s going to take a lot for it (and the rest of the market, frankly) to come back down to reality. Talking about the reality of how useless Tesla is has almost fuck-nothing to do with how the market acts anymore.

What’s that saying? “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.”

Lowest it was in 2025 was on March 10th and it’s been slowly creeping back up since then.

Still $100 above what it was a year ago, this is more bullshit wishcasting. It was $157 this time last year. Sits at $254 right now.

What even are these articles?

I fucking hate Tesla but I hate living in a fantasy land when your oppressors “are just about to get their just desserts… it’s just around the corner… we promise.” It’s a joke of a fantasy preying on people who justifiably want to see these power hungry morons suffer as much as all the people they purposefully hurt.

Jesus fake job postings now I’m competing with fake fucking job candidates.

When will this fucking nightmare end?

As if there weren’t enough reasons for a general strike already.

inb4 all the people who always show up to complain that we need famous people on here for anyone to give a shit about the Fediverse.

Emphatically, I am here because it’s all just random weirdos.

The sequel is just getting a Remaster, not a Remake. SS1 was a full remake, SS2 is just a remaster. No idea if they plan on giving it the SS1 treatment, and I don’t really care as long as multiplayer works in the remaster.

Isn’t this what a Pi-Hole is for? Unless it needs to autheticate each time you use ot from the same servers the ads are served from you should be able to safely block the ads.

I’m sure you’ll have to log into a Microsoft account to use it so your data will still be theirs.

Transsexual is an old, negatively coded word (with use as far back as the Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975). Transgender is the preferred nomenclature.

It was a derogatory term that implies that being transgender has something to do with sex and not an expression of gender.

Asexuals, who are disinterested in sex, can be transgender. Calling them a “transsexual” implies that there is a sexual expression happening.

When you express your gender (whatever it is), do you feel like you are being sexual? I would wager most don’t think they’re being sexual simply walking around being who they are.

That’s why the term for non-trans people is “cisgender” not “cissexual.”

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to imply I didn’t support the non-binary among us, that was bad phrasing on my part. Of course I support their right to be who they are.

It displays as +5.

racist or transphobic

That stuff just gets removed. Admin and mods on blahaj don’t fuck around, really.

I chose blahaj not just because I support our trans brothers, sisters, and non-binaries, but also explicitly because it does not federate downvotes.

There’s a massive difference in how it feels to only see upvotes alone.

Fuck I had forgotten all about bash. Thanks for the memories.

Burns, you say?

I’m beginning to suspect that nostalgia is a form of brain rot.

I’ve struggled hard to do it, but in my forties I’m still listening to new music and watching new media. I want to go out like John Peel, listening to good new music until the day I die.

I still listen to and watch a lot of old stuff, but I really try not to make it my main entree.

I honestly think if you’re my age (mid forties) and you’re still listening to music exclusively from the 90’s it’s gotta count as some type of arrested development.

The same can’t be said for Joss Whedon.
