Tbf the internet is entirely comprised of like 6 websites if you ask the average Joe, and I’m damn inclined to agree as someone who remembers webrings fondly and misses geocities (it’s like the bell curve meme lol, and btw yes I know about neocities I’m just sleeping on it).

But I agree, if they can email they can mastodon, it’s the same shit.

Evidentially mastodon makes it hard to find people on purpose unless you know their name “to stop harassment” I’m told, except I’m not sure how it does that at all and it just makes it harder to use the damn platform. That’s my one real complaint about mastodon.

55 lbs of 00 flour in the chest freezer, still have about 25lbs of AP flour in there

Mmhmm, 12ga and xm855 “flour,” got it.

The coolest part about the framework is the fixability. I’ll be able to run on 16gb of DDR5 until DDR6 becomes the hot new thing, at which time I’ll get 32gb of ddr5 on sale and be set set for another good while, and during all that if anything breaks on it I can get the parts cheap enough and do the repair myself easily. Then maybe in like idk 15yr or so if framework is still around I can buy a new mobo/ram and maybe screen to slap in that bad boy and now I have the laptop of Theseus that’ll keep trucking until I repeat the cycle.

I mean, alright if you insist! Sounds like a fun date idea.

“C’mere Susan, let’s roll up and then roll over in the clover.”

Well shit, nevermind!

I think your “council estate” is our “section 08,” govt provided shitty housing projects?

I know a couple younger dudes named Ira (35yo or less). Still sorta popular among Jewish circles, and not even both of the Iras I know are of Jewish origin so it seems others still use it too.

Thurl (as in Ravenscroft.)

As of audacity 3.0.3 (or was it 3.1.3? Shit it’s been a while…) it includes telemetry from the russian company that bought it. It was forked to oblivion and Tenacity is the best replacement fork.

Antix will run on old grey boxes with mb of ram, it oughta work for you too.

Or Gerald Ford (but the joke was 100% “Harrison” being blocked.)

Even if you do, the people who incessantly post about him do their best to evade your filters and make you read about him anyway. Most often they just refer to him generically without using his name, or they’ll misspell it like mysk, or call him something like “muskrat,” or it’ll be in the pic/comments but not the title/OPpost, or it’ll be about tesla, the cybertruck, whatever the hell musk adjacent shit I don’t care about, etc.

I wish you luck. If you succeed please share your tips for the rest of us, it’s just so goddamn omnipresent and I’d like to filter it too.

Gantz eh? Ok, I’ll add Elfen Leid.

Well there’s many mentions so I’ll add one I have yet to see listed, The Adventures of Mark Twain is always an unsettling classic.

Say it again!

Hey check out Mineshaft Magazine. Crumb is currently submitting work to them and they also regularly publish work from a few of those old Comix guys like Glenn Head, Hal Robbins, Kim Deitch, and Robert Armstrong, etc. They release about 2 per year.

If you like weird old SF books, the guy who wrote TAS and Gargoyles (RIP J. Michael Reaves) did a space-noir called Darkworld Detective, it’s pretty good. Obviously unrelated to Batman though.

Not only that, but if they fix the problems that they used to get your votes, they can’t use them again next election, and we can’t have that so at most you get a pittance of “fixes” while they just blame the other side for blocking it and then the other side does it with a few of their issues. And we’ll keep voting for them too because A) who else? B) the other guy is worse, and C) this time they really will fix everything they continually run on. Any day now…

Just to add for new users, find this info easily by typing “what to do after installing Fedora” into your search engine of choice, there’s many articles about it (and all of them have the same information for the most part).
