In this week’s totally grassroots and natural discussion topics I keep seeing these two themes repeated over and over again (here and elsewhere): Open source developers should be paid employees - nay they must be! - oh and Firefox sucks. Boy does it suck. They’re going to be just like Chrome, just watch.
It’s like the “No for real bro I totally love paying for YouTube what the hell is wrong with you you freeloader” shit all over again.
I don’t feel like an oligarch.
I recently was holding out hope for a franchise that was similarly treated. I can tell you from experience that Sims 5 will make a billion dollars and they will then fire all the programmers who made it.
“that boner” or “that ‘boner’”?
God I know, Twitter is just the worst!
Not a cent of it was my money.
Make your own instance and ban that mod from it.
“I want to press the button - an essay” - actually funny stuff! I didn’t expect to chuckle, but I did several times. Wishlisted to keep an eye on it!
Do you exit it with escape colon q bang?
Balls right now. Just balls.
I went looking for a picture of it today and got very confused when maps sent me to Australia. There is a rural locale in Australia, named after the battle - Australian soldiers fought in the battle, so that does make sense. What threw me is that the road in the Australian version has a curvature that is very similar to the pictures in the OP:
And yet, this is not the actual Passchendaele. That short circuited my brain for a few seconds this morning, imagining that it had just… never been rebuilt? Wait… part of WWII was fought in Australia? wtf?
Anyway, no. The real deal is in Belgium. It was rebuilt. Here it is (lol):
How weird is that?
I think I only vaguely knew that a comic was the source. I’m honestly glad I didn’t know, because this is a damn fine movie, I’d have hated for it to be ruined because I loved the source - but I sympathize.
I had no idea a sequel was in the works.
maybe if the Ten Commandments were hanging on the wall in the school that he was in, maybe he wouldn’t have taken a shot at the [former] president.
Ah, mental giants, these.
I require additional photos of Biscuit.

I mean, this all sounds like shit, yes. But sometimes things are only a little bit shit and yet the answer is still “redesign the approach” (ie: start over).
Hexbear is… I’m just old I guess, I don’t understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I’m reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it’s hexbear.
But I don’t exactly understand why. I can’t see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing… all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don’t have enough information about to understand.
Doesn’t seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.
He’s also the reason no conservatives believe in climate change. He started the meme that it’s a socialist conspiracy to extract money out of the US. So not only did he not contribute anything worthwhile, he actively worked to make money at the whole world’s expense.
