Another great reason to describe your images, even if you're not thinking about unsighted people: sometimes during federation images get broken.

I could consume this post without needing to visit the original site 👍

Human beings were never meant to be on a single social media platform for life. Archaeological evidence tells us our earliest ancestors hopped from platform to platform, following the migrations of the influencer herds, moving on when the soil was too depleted to grow new discourse

"Developing a BASIC interpreter on the system was difficult, because the display alone used up almost all the available RAM. The solution to this problem was to store the BASIC program code in the video RAM."

hot trans girl shit. jamie fenton is a queen

i'm glad the discourse evolved to "throw bricks at fascists" because for a while it was "throw milkshakes at fascists" and i could never. i'm trying to drink that

@transfaeries Ah. I went into f-droid's settings & turned on automatic update & notifications to avoid that. I still have to install updated apps one at a time, but now f-droid notifies me when I can.

It gets better!
(And by "better" I mean worse.)
How?
Well, how about a late night outage call from a franchise manager, & discovering this amazing cause:
Someone using the corporation's authority to replace Internet that is reliable, supported, and cheap (yes, all three!) with Space Karen's bullshit, not telling anyone, & not even checking if things still worked before leaving!

You know what that means?
That's right!
Time for spontaneous infrastructure equipment failure!

One of my litmus tests for a software product these days is that, if it has search, I should be able to search for a nonsense phrase and get an answer that says “no results”. Every website and app is so damn thirsty for clicks now that it will just show an infinite scroll of useless garbage no matter what I’m looking for, which means I can’t get “no results” and then refine my search quickly, I have to page through the “results” to see if they’re plausibly related to my query. Please stop it.

@transfaeries Tusky is very much alive and well. Version 22.0 came out just last month.

I read that #Meta has launched #Threads and many don't understand why it's not fully usable via the web but only through a dedicated mobile app. Meta isn't interested in letting us talk but rather in collecting as much data as possible. Browsers have become (more) skilled at protecting us, while apps can have almost complete access to our mobile devices, gathering data that an average person couldn't even imagine. And our mobile devices have become the safe (or should I say, the exposed pantry?) of our lives. #privacy #datacollection #SocialNetworks
