I’ll have you know I meow at the ship computer.

Yes, intelligence is intelligence. There’s nothing about the rest of the body that the brain is encased in that makes one more or less deserving of rights.

One thing I’ve learned over the years: the scruffier looking the IT guy, the more they should be listened to.

I think for a lot of them, they must have come up with some cool looking sprites and then tried to make a game/story around that.

I’m with old Dr. McCoy from that one TNG episode on this one. Not a chance.

I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

It’s a weird feeling not being targeted with content and ads. I forgot what it was like.

I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.

The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think “Weird. Moving on.” and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they’ll get what’s coming to them.

It’s not all bad, but I miss the sort of “wild west” feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn’t real life.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like “Gary’s Favorite Garlic Breads”, just run by Gary, who isn’t trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

Both of you are shortened for me, unlike most others in this comment section. Weird.

Hi Dr Zoidberg!

The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn’t have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn’t shut down 3rd party apps.

They seem like they’re trying to bleed a stone.

The wrong post bug was happening to me last night too. I didn’t check if it was on lemmy.world or not, but I just assumed it was because of a lot of new traffic.

The idea of paying a monthly subscription to use reddit is so off-putting. Maybe if it were a company that I didn’t feel so negatively about, I’d consider it.

What a dumpster fire.

This is a really good idea. I prefer having it in its own space vs just among my other tabs and browsing.

Hi Bertie!

Sometimes the best tech people are weird as hell. This might be one of those cases.

Although I did hear that they censor content critical of china, which sucks.

I think it’s both for me
