Nobody ever mentions Friendica as being a #Threadiverse app

Probably because the second sentence of your own post intending to promote it was an immediate concession that the UI sucks. “It’s great once you get past how bad it is” isn’t a great pitch.

Yeah, that sucks but at this point I’ll take any win I can get over scalpers.

Dot onion? …wait no that’s taken…

Kerry Carcia was the leader of The Crateful Dead

The Simpsons eating at a restaurant called America Town in Tokyo:

Waiter: Howdy, gangstas. I am average American Joe salary-man waiter. Don’t ask me, I don’t know anything, I am product of American education system! I also build poor-quality cars and inferior-style electronics.

Homer: Hahahaha he’s really got our number!

I too enjoy repeating the joke I just saw but removing all of the distracting humor.

That’s correct, Jim Jones was found with a bullet in his head. The coroner in Guyana concluded it was a suicide, although one of Jim Jones’ sons (all three were not at Jonestown at the time of the mass poisoning) has speculated that his father may have ordered one of his lackeys to shoot him in one final act of cowardice.

!Offbeat@lemmy.ca has you covered!

This button is preprogrammed to launch the ChatGPT prompt builder, which Logitech recently added to its peripherals configuration app Options+

Speaking of which, I’d like to take a moment to tell Logitech to go F themselves for bringing this stupid AI prompt builder to Options+. It’s unnecessary bloat and nobody wants it.

No but they did sort out the whistleblower problem - twice!

I’m sure you thought you just made an excellent point.

Okay so you clearly do not know what the words specific and literal mean. Got it.

They actually didn’t “specifically” say that. At all. Until editing their comment an hour after being called out.

Lol yep. It cracks me up when people think just because they aren’t going to one extreme or the other with their speculation that they aren’t still engaging in wild speculation. That’s not how it works.

“There’s no information yet so I’m going to make up an explanation which is the most likely scenario given that there’s no information yet.”

Brilliant.

It’s who left that matters. We lost a TON of tech people. People with experience and knowledge in the field.

You aren’t kidding. The tech knowledge of the average redditor has been dropping for years as the site became increasingly mainstream but it cratered after the API change. It’s very amusing to read through a thread about lemmy in r/technology though. According to the average redditor picking an instance and then clicking the “communities” section to subscribe to comms you’re interested in is the most complicated thing they’ve ever encountered in their lives. It’s silly. Lemmy took about as much time for me to get the hang of as reddit did when I first joined in 2011. A few days, maybe a week tops… And that includes the time I spent test-driving different front ends and apps before settling on a desktop/mobile combo of Alexandrite and Voyager.

Sure, understanding how federation works may take awhile but you really don’t need to know much about any of that to get setup and start participating as a user.
