Interesting. That reminds me, I need to update one of my scripts.

Honestly, it’s a programming focused instance, so I’m not quite sure how piracy even fits into it.

I think you and I have different visions of what the fediverse is. I don’t view this account as a “programming account on a programming forum, so all things should be programming related” if that’s what you are implying. I view instances as a comfortable home for my existence in the fediverse, where local communities may be programming related, but I still have access to the fediverse as a whole.

Much like I chose the city I live in based on the communities and amenities I prefer most of the time, but I can still travel anywhere else in the world any time I choose.

I’m against actual pirated content being federated here, but I would still like to see discussion about piracy if it is acceptable within the laws of @snowe’s home country.

I’m glad everything worked out in the end. I hope snowe learned a couple of lessons from this. One about how to interact and respect the lived experiences of marginalized peoples, but also a lesson about not engaging with hexbear trolls in the first place.

You think that’s absurd? Have you never gotten married? Wedding photos are extremely important and while “she almost vomited” may be hyperbole, I can definitely understand being very pissed off if that was the only version of the photo. Our wedding photographer whitened our teeth in our photos and we requested that they undo that so we look like ourselves. The sentiment was nice, but we didn’t want that. I would have been pretty unhappy if they hadn’t held onto the originals and were unable to revert our teeth back to their normal shades. Photos of our bridal showers and dress hunting were nearly as important as the wedding photos themselves. I can understand being upset with this undesired result.

Do you really work with memory, storage, and bandwidth? If so, have you EVER run across an instance where memory, storage, or bandwidth were referred to in millibits? Memory, storage, and bandwidth are extremely important in my job, though not my direct focus, and I can say over 50 years as a sysadmin and coder, I have never encountered “mb” and had it actually mean “millibits”. Literally not once. Now “Mb” definitely has some ambiguity (in bandwidth, it’s used for Megabits, and in memory/storage, it’s more often than not a typo of MB), but “mb” actually meaning “millibits”? No, friend. Just no.

They’re pretty fonts and they’re released under SIL Open Font License 1.1. I dig it.

Oh yeah, you’re right there! I haven’t had the funds to get a home VR setup yet, so I was pleasantly surprised all my games actually run BETTER after I made the switch.

Are you kidding? I made the jump a month ago and get better performance across the board gaming with proton/lutris than I did with windows.

You get Linux experience real quick when you make mistakes like that in a shell with no GUI.

mkdir newfolder; find . -maxdepth 1 -mmin -5 -exec mv "{}" newfolder \;

Because I paid for a lifetime sub like a decade ago and my parents and a few friends connect to my instance. I can’t be arsed to move myself and everybody else to a new system when this shit just works.

SMS isold and shitty, but its supported on every phone model. Apple stacked iMessage on top of it for rich media when both endpoints support iMessage. android and others stacked RCS on top of SMS for the same rich media purposes. When incompatible devices communicate (iOS<->non-iOS), they fall back to crappy SMS. You’re saying you like the separate-system status quo and if you want to communicate with one group or the other (iOS or non-iOS), switch devices. We’re saying why can’t we all just have one rich-media format that works for everybody?" I don’t care if Apple switches to RCS or opens up full-featured iMessage to everybody. I just want to be able to talk to all my friends without us having to buy the same hardware. Are you just being intentionally obtuse?

Because it is predictable and doesn’t suck.

Libertarian? Im not American, so im unfamiliar – isn’t that one just the Republican party with extra pedophilia?

I’m not endorsing this, because it just doesn’t look great, but here is what they were referencing, but apparently unable to link: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

Every demoparty in the link you mentioned with a beginning date and a dash but no end date is still happening. The demoscene is still very much alive.
