The top finger kinda gives it away imo

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

Fedora Kinoite.

KDE Plasma (very Windows-ey) and it is "immutable" which means you can't break it.

Someone else said Kubuntu which aesthetically will look the same and is also a good choice but if you want to start with a "just works" I recommend an immutable distro.

Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.

You've got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those "quirky, weird" websites people nostalgize over weren't seeking clout, they were seeking connection.

I think it's healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that "followers" are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making "art" with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then... that's just a job, imo.

"EEE" doesn't really make sense in this context, and even if there was some way for Meta to affect non Meta-owned instances- ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta is allowed to use it however they want.

Got it, very interesting! I look forward to it being worked out soon, Wordpress federation is awesome.

Still not fully integrated, but it's nice to see broader ActiviyPub adoption beyond "follow a handful of users who opted-in". I never expected Meta to be the company inching towards federation and not bluesky. Makes me wonder if Tumblr will ever follow through with their promises to federate.

edit: To the (sadly predictable) response that "Meta will screw you over in a heartbeat" YES, of COURSE they will, that's why it's GOOD to be able to access Threads content safely and privately from a non-Meta controlled platform.

Jellyfin is great, but in defense of Plex, they announced that remote streaming would require one of the two parties to have a Plex pass was coming back in March so I don't know if it's fair to say they are holding anything hostage.

Big fan of low tech magazine!

 

Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:

  • "Necessary Evil"
  • "Rules of Acquisition"
  • "The Alternate"
  • "Armageddon Game"
  • "Whispers"
  • "Paradise"
  • "Shadowplay"

All bangers!

Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"
