imagine if they had waited to invent lemmy until after reddit had shat the bed with the whole API fiasco. it's better to have a backup ready to go.

i think:

• WEF = World Economic Forum: an international organization that features prominently in a ton of conspiracy theories these days. here's a sample platter of such nonsense.
• IYKYK = "If you know, you know"

i like my laptop cause i already have it, and have gotten to know it quite well over the past 16 years, but i wouldn't recommend it. it would be nice to have more than 4gb of memory these days, cause i can't have too many tabs open on firefox without it bogging down.

just a historical factoid that a lot of people don't realize: the luddites weren't anti technology without reason. they were apprehensive about new technology that threatened their livelihoods, technology that threatened them with starvation and destitution in the pursuit of profit. i think the comparison with opposition to AI is pretty apt, in many cases, honestly.

i only found out they had a smell a couple years ago, and i'm in my 30s. not because i can't smell them though, but just because i hadn't noticed it before.

even if they were breaking tos (and i don't think it sounds quite so cut and dry), shouldn't the response be to notify them and allow them to fix it, or just terminate the account? demanding a ton of money to make the problem seems a skeevy way of handling it on cloudflare's part.

would a notification work? notify-send seems like it could fit the bill.

y'know, for someone who "hates wind", he sure blows a lot of hot air.

are you sure that you replied to the correct comment?

some ereaders do use android, my old onyx did, but honestly i much prefer the dedicated solution kobo has. they could use android, but if they've got the resources to make their own os targeting their actual use case instead of cramming a mobile phone os in there, why wouldn't they? even their os has too much cruft for my taste, but it is a lot less than an android ereader.

"logic deficits" does not mean ID, and without further information on what they observed of you at age six, i don't think we can draw any conclusions of that. furthermore as many others have commented already, people change, and you are not the same you that you were when you were six. you may have been slower to develop certain skills as a small child, but be good at those same skills now. that's just growing up.

second day you say? why, by then we can have the second backup bridge designed, printed, and installed next to the first, so that is not a problem. every two days, a new bridge.
