I don’t pay for a lot of services I couldn’t do for myself.

american stupidity.

I mean, the english may have apple pies, but if JOLLY has taught me anything it’s that they apparently are nowhere near as good as american apple pie, to the point there’s a fancy pie restaurant in London that specializes in american pies.

the neat thing about measurements of distance is even if you drive 20 kilometers , you’re still driving for miles .

honestly, why would anyone pay for a blizzard, when the only thing they do to it is mix candy with ice cream in a blender? you do that yourselves.

mastodon isn’t dead.

the “bigger-boys”, as you put it, are currently fighting it together on appeal in a lawsuit. once the appeal is finished, it will probably head to the supreme court, where Kavanaugh has said it will likely be found unconstitutional.

this doesn’t kill the fediverse. mississippi can’t do shit to you if you aren’t in mississippi unless the state you’re in agrees to cooperate with them. and that’s only after they subpoena your hosting provider, which might not even cooperate with them at all if they are outside US jurisdiction. and if you go through cloudflare? that’s another subpeona from a corporation that doesn’t like revealing information about their users and has gone to federal court on many occasions to fight both state and federal governments.

any state that doesn’t have one of these laws on the books is unlikely to decide to extradite you for something that isn’t illegal where you live, especially since it’s not a criminal charge.

I mean, it’s good till next year, so does it really matter all that much?

it’s all good

I think the midset of “Everyone’s opinion is valid and should be heard” is more of a neo-liberal perspective

well, that’s not what I said, so yeah, I agree with you.

it hurt itself in its confusion!

“I don’t like how you’ve chosen to express yourself, so I’m going to stick my head into the sand so I don’t hear your concerns.”

How very white liberal of you. Really channeling your inner Jordan Lund.

It’s also a feature of Piefed.

I looked at that link, and that’s a pretty shitty misrepresentation of what they said.

because conservatives are lobbying them to, and they don’t give a shit either way. they know they can’t be replaced without upsetting a huge part of the consumer economy, so it’s easier for them to capitulate than spend any effort fighting it, because they’ll still be making billions and billions each year either way. they give absolutely zero fucks if they’re doing business with a fascist regime or not. they’re betting that the fascists are going to eventually win, so that’s where they’re sticking their eggs.

EDIT: sorry, that was mean and uncalled for, but I’ll leave it here for people to downvote if they want.

trying to fix things… bugged the internal speakers

sounds to me like the problem is located somewhere between the user and the trackpads.

how the fuck do you “bug” the internal speakers while attempting to pirate a game? that’s like saying you broke the sink while trying to change a light bulb.

why not copyparty?

these people have been planning on this for lot longer than a year. christians have been trying to ban video games for decades. the only reason this group hasn’t come after more games is because they know they don’t yet have enough politicians behind them to manage it.
