I consider my upvotes/downvotes as a chain of authenticity that demonstrates as conclusively as possible I am a real person paying attention who desires the things I say.

I don’t horny on main, but honestly who the hell cares it is 2026.

I just think the threadiverse needs to be more upfront and clear to new users that votes are inherently public.

Oh believe me I have also seen precarious tall stacks of rocks that manage to stay standing for much longer than you would expect. Usually it is because they are surrounded by a forest of other much more solid formations of rocks or the ground is solid and well suited to support a base stone.

Sometimes though I see someone waving to me smugly from atop a precarious stack of rocks amidst a sea of other precarious stacks of rocks and I chuckle to myself and wave back condescendingly… and then feel guilty about the ugliness of pre-emptive disaster tourism.

There was a time when tech talent would uproot their lives for the US because it offered collaboration, publishing, company-building and a big conference circuit. Now they run a gauntlet at the border, where even a green card or citizenship does not guarantee they will not be hassled.

Thus it can be seen how when industries aren’t mitigated in their self defeating behavior by unions, the associated job market and domestic industry can be driven to collapse and there will be zero ability to slow the process down once it begins spiralling.

Unions, even if you are a super smart techbro who understands EVERYTHING about the world better than other people because you understand computers… you still need Unions or else the company you are working for will inveitably blow itself up and leave nothing but a crater behind.

yes but gestures at spaceship it is org mode tho!

org mode and pandoc :P

Thank you, I vote yes!

Best latte milk

You ever think about the fact that if we put our minds together and made funny clips of excited baby goats set to actually good classic rock go viral as a meme we could essentially disappear Kid Rock from search engines?

We could call the meme Kid Rock 2 and whenever anyone brings up Kid Rock 1 just mercilessly shit on it and say Kid Rock 2 is far better and Kid Rock 1 isn’t worth watching.

How do you get all the candy into the baseball bat tho?

No thanks, I prefer human DJs and you should too, they are better.

If you have executive function disorder and the point of ads is to wrestle your attention isn’t that in a small granular way preying upon disability?

As a martian it is easier to appear human and blend in by discussing politics while I prepare the invasion conditions for earthlings to have their brains harvested. Not sure why everyone else does though.

Find the answer on reddit, post here in another form. Rinse repeat.

this is how WW3 starts isn’t it

Agreed, so much is stacked against us, these numbers show we are serious about making alternative communities.

This meme hits like a laser guided munition.

Beat me to it! thank you!

Mastodon and similar are fantastic.

They don’t even have to be anything complicated to be awesome, just having Mastodon and other microblogging services as a basis for orienting people on the Fediverse is an underappreciated gem we should be thankful for whether you spend most of your time on reddit-likes or twitter-likes here on the Fediverse.

The format has so much more potential than twitter/x has explored.

hmm I can definitely do this with my Supernote A5 eink tablet.

Both Inkscape and Gimp can open multipage pdfs as seperate pages too… yeah that is directly editing though.
