Un Dorian Gray sin pasado, ni patria ni bandera.

I'm just a guy in the #pnw who likes going on adventures, and playing games with friends.

Three things I love: the Oxford Comma, irony, and missed opportunities.

  • Is Bluesky still worth it in 2026 or is it just as unhinged as Elon Musk's hate monger MAGA terrorist cesspool?

    Jump

  • I only just started dabbling in Bluesky. I like that your username is federated, which meant I'm using Bluesky without a Bluesky account, since I signed up elsewhere first.

    It's definitely a lot more popular than Masto, et al, which isn't always a good thing. Sure there's all the famous people, but it makes it harder to find real people to follow. Or at least for me.

    I have enjoyed the For You tab though.

  • Not saying don't use Lemmy, but check out piefed and mbin, both similar but different platforms to reach this corner of the fediverse. They all interact with each other, and have their own pros/cons. (I'm responding to you from piefed, for e.g.)

  • If the Dems found a lamp and got three wishes, they'd negotiate down to one wish, and then wish for something they thought the Republicans would want.

  • Gavin Newsom turns on the press for asking Trump softball questions

    Jump

  • That's one of the many problems with this system. The DNC is a private organisation and they can put forth or hold back any candidate they want regardless of the will of the people (see: Harris or Sanders the first time).

    So unless the DNC finally gets out of its own way (it won't) and lets an actual progressive candidate run, they'll do the same thing they always do and pick some Milquetoast "centrist" who will keep the status quo, and an actual progressive will have to run independent or form a new party and then get enough people to vote for them without splitting the vote and causing the Nazis to win by default.

    The entrenched powers have no interest in change and don't care what the people actually want.

  • The Supreme Court Is Building Its Own Massive Police Force

  • And to that result, they don't actually have their own. The marshalls and police used for the Judicial are part of the Dept of Justice, and answers to the Executive. All fine for now, or in normal times, but with Trump he could withdraw them if the Justices don't rule how he likes.

  • Vivaldi's Leader Has a Bold Pledge: No AI in Your Web Browser

  • That's why I still use them as my main. I can't close tabs, so between their workspaces with tiled tabs and tab memory management not keeping 200 processes open (I know!) it's been amazing for me. My only reservation is it being chromium.

    Jump

  • Not that Firefox's back end is better rather that every other browser out there is some form of chromium which means Google getting to control the internet.

    Jump

  • It doesn't help anything, but I've started finding the remaining or recreated web 1.0 corners of the internet. Like creating a gopher hole and joining a pubnix server. Something about being nice to not have the modern internet always trying to track me or sell me something. Dunno.

    Most Transsexual Porn Is Watched By Straight Men

    Jump

  • Eh, sort of. Transvestite refers to someone who wears clothes of the opposite gender (trans = across, vestir = to clothe, to wear), and really that mainly applied to men wearing women's clothes, because a woman wearing pants is questionable, but a man wearing a dress? There's clearly something wrong with them!

    As clothing "norms" became more old fashioned, that word fell into disuse.
