Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

  • Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse

    Jump

  • People are fucking addicted to instagram and I'm the annoying "get rid of that shit" preacher to everyone I can. My gf has reduced her usage, but still checks it from time to time.

    I always ask "Do you really need to use it?" - and almost always, their answer is "not really, but it's the only place I can find X". Some of my gf's friends use it to find new places to go. Some of my boardgaming friends still use it, mostly to "know what events are coming up" or what new games are being released.

    Instagram is essentially this age's yellow pages of a telephone list, small businesses are super dependent on it and they're forced to post fucking stories everyday or get erased by the algorithm

  • What exactly is the fediverse?

    Servers that can federate over ActivityPub protocol. Any server that uses ActivityPub can be considered part of the fediverse.

    What’s included in it?

    Clones of corporate owned sites: twitter (mastodon, misskey), tumblr (wafrn), reddit (lemmy, piefed), facebook (friendica), plus others

    I’ve hear much about fediverse and Lemmy, but is Lemmy part of it or not?

    Yes, it is

    Are other systems like Blue sky a part of it or not?

    Bluesky isn't, since they use a different protocol, but it's possible to bridge and interact with it. Wafrn does it.

    Do I transparently see posts from all those different systems?

    This is the biggest "it depends" situation. For instance, by default, lemmy ignores most posts from mastodon and similars. However, mastodon users can post to lemmy communities if they use the proper @, but they cannot specify a title - their post body will also double as the title. They can also reply to comments, they're easy to spot because they always have an @user when replying.

    Some server types integrate the different things better than others. Friendica and Wafrn seem to be the best for "variety integration".

  • Rumor: Disney to Remove Star Wars Sequel Trilogy from Timeline

    Jump

  • Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 also did really well by completely sidestepping any movie material and going way back in the past. A movie with a HK-47 like droid would immediately have a super memorable character.

    I don't see why disney doesn't just fast forward 100-200 years into the future, leaving plenty of space for a new expanded universe to be written in. I guess their creativity bankruptcy is just that big.

  • TLDR; don't group files by "what they do in common" but rather the ones that "work with the same thing". So instead of components, libraries, icons folders, group them like table1, table2, etc
