uh, no, ocean hag. wearing mostly seaweed and lace.

yep. I know if it wasn’t unusable trash I might not have come over to lemmy.

in general. plenty of reasons you might be here, could just be reddit got unusable.

lemmy isn’t too evil. on purpose. mostly.

certainly less vile than facebook. “no political system is perfect so im’a just exterminate the jews and revere the fuhrer” is not a good look

and if that sounds like hyperbole, remember how many of your young-male and elderly relatives were radicalized by that social media platform, which has been critical or complicit in multiple genocides, finished and ongoing.

yeah but those are mostly gone or otherwise unusable now, one way or the other. that’s kind of the problem.

edit: I wish I could help. there are reddit communities I miss too, but reddit killed them, and they haven’t popped back up anywhere.

we absolutely should. facebook is fucking evil, and getting everything to move off it, damaging the network effect, is important for creating a more free and open information ecosystem.

no, no they’re far worse, and im aware that nobody gives the english quite the bastard credit they deserved.

its not that they don’t understand words, it’s that words aren’t communication for them. it’s just checksums. confirming group membership and synchronization. affirming their (percieved) position.

when a character starts being an abolitionist about literal slavery, it becomes a running joke. the goblins are antisemitic stereotypes, up to and including being bankers, and all the characters who aren’t white are named in ways that would have been considered ‘kinda racist’ a century earlier.

okay I was using a specific example of an unnecessary app I used in the past week. never used the cemetary app, never had to deal with trying to when im outside of network range. still pretty sure it could be a website.

fuck your second thought; live on the edge. stare into the abyss.

you better only use industrial lube that gives you cancer, and does terrible things to your tissues because it’s meant for those massive german coal mining rigs. FTFY

depends who you’re fighting. if you’re up against libs, just dress homeless. it’s like a fucking invisibility cloak.

its a sort of upholstered indoor bench setup designed for multiple people to sit next to each other on.

what common home object does that remind you of?

or its covered in spikes. some of it is just covered in spikes.

counterpoint: what if I reinvent phrenology to explain why nobody’s fucking my pasty bloated hikikomori ass, then add in a TON of mysogyny to my racism to bolster my ego? that sounds way easier. plus, I don’t have to go outside ever again.

download the whole thing

all the functional parts are server calls, app or website. all of them. buying a ticket involves authenticating with both the owner’s server and my bank. that’s a network thing. can’t download my ticket til I do that, site or app. even looking at a timetable (i dont see where in the app I can do that? but point to point trips) on the app doesn’t work when im in airplane mode, but I know for a fact my browser caches, and if I’ve looked recently or left the page open, it will still be there when I come back.

there’s no advantage of an app, unless you’re doing fancy graphics shit, which eats battery like a mother fucker and makes low end devices much more unhappy.

but I… it… it’s a PDF, its stored on my phone. I downloaded it. I actually still have it, if I need to prove I was on the train. its not in the app anymore, but I still have it here.

you know you can’t make a PURCHASE on an app without network access, right? like, it has to interact with your bank and generate the code (and that’s done on their server, so you can’t make yourself free tickets) and update “this ticket is valid” in the system. the app is literally just a web site with fewer features. all the important math happens on the server. usually, not even a timetable is stored locally, and it still has to be retrieved from the network, it doesn’t even cache, I bet. I could check, but I would have to find my phone.

no, it took a few hundred years/all of recorded history.

could still be a website.
