I assumed it was commentary on how expensive even things like candy are - so expensive that someone just tossed in whatever they had, and since they’re broke chicken boulion is a valid meal.

Maybe the art is all about how you interpret it.

Help computah 😞

Nobody wins when humans and microwaves argue

Something I haven’t seen people talk about is the nature of the fediverse in terms of the philosophy of separate instances.

There are a lot of “general” instances that are kind of like mini-reddits. Lots of users sign up from all over, communities for a wide variety of interests. But there are also instances with a specific focus.

For example, I’m a member of midwest.social so when I look at the “local” feed, I only get communities relating to the US midwest. But of course, I can still subscribe and interact with other communities on federated insances.

Think of it like email. You can sign up for the big general purpose emails (google, outlook, icloud, etc). But you might want something different, perhaps privacy focused like Proton or Tuta. Or you can have an “instance” for your work where everyone gets an @company.com email. Or maybe you just want to spin up your own email with a vanity domain.

No matter which email server you use, you can still communicate with people on separate servers.

You don’t have to stick with the first account you create. In fact, I’d recommend that you try a few instances before you settle on one.

Beyond separate instances, there are also alternatives to Lemmy that are very similar but do some things differently. Mbin, Kbin, and Piefed are examples. And again, thanks to federation standards and everything being built to be compatible, you can subscribe to a Lemmy community from Mbin and vice versa.

A lot of instances do. They’re usually blocklisted due to trolling or exclusionary/supremacist posting.

Janeway was right!

Though that Tuvix uniform was hot, you have to admit.

You can block posts marked as NSFW in your settings. Well moderated instances require their users to properly tag their NSFW content.

Some instances have rules against posting NSFW altogether or place limits on what can be posted.

That’s perfectly valid. If Windows suits your needs and priorities, use it. I use Windows on my work laptop because Linux would be a nightmare with all the tools and apps we use. But personal laptop? Linux all the way.

I’m going to show you some pictures, and I need you to tell me which ones have bikes in them.

Dude, I’ve argued with my microwave and it isn’t even smart.

Eh, not necessarily. In the last decade or two though… yeah, definitely. I don’t think the US will ever recover the good will we once had.

I’m at that point with Solus right now. They messed up so many things when they switched to Wayland. Definitely wasn’t ready for release. Trying to figure out what to try next.

Hey kid! Imma computer! Stop all that downloadin!

Wow now that in a throwback!

Do you have stairs in your house?
