damn, they fuck you then call you ‘bottom’!

was going to ask op why he was insisting but now i’m more curious: why are you still here? xD

i mean fair enough for the older generation, but i’m assuming most people on here would be under 40?

also is anyone actually pro russia left now? worst divide is probably wether they support palestine or bury their heads in the sand about it afaik? i guess the oldies will soon retire as well :fingerscrossed:

ngl i’m always miffed when people don’t even consider the actual left (you know, the party that’s literally called that and now shitty sarah has also left!) as an option and use it as an excuse to vote in some other corpo tool ):

fair enough, corrected!

also, who is openly pride, alice or her wife? apparently they also have some kids and are in a civil partnership, but she does oppose same sex marriage (because ‘tradition’ of course?). i always have that mental gymnastics meme in my head when i read about her or hear her speak… x)

the german far right leader (female) is married to an indian sri lankan woman and when asked about how that relates to her plans of deporting brown people she said her wife ‘does not count because she was adopted by a white family in switzerland’

i mean, they also run a populist platform aimed at poor people with a libertarian program to wipe out social assistance though, so why am i even suprised by the hypocrisy?

errm, no thank you mr mobilek? xD

lol, literally got fwded two tweets by seperate anthropic employees that copypasta-d each other’s “sincere personal message” (both accenting how it’s “not a marketing stunt!”)… how dumb is this gonna get before it finally blows over?

x4 has backlight, the new ones (v5? x4.5?) dropped it again for some reason? i got an original for myself and the backlight one for my wife actually :D

a fair, didn’t read that properly! guess for tablet replacement that does sound nice, but for reading i think i’d still prefer something like the xteink (actually very curious if the size will be an issue but i always hate how heavy the paperwhite feels)

i have no data on it, but i’d honestly doubt you’d get much power savings when watching video?

also high refresh rate displays were stupidly expensive last time i checked. there is, after all, just a single company making them…

why would you run android on eink anyway? refresh rates are garbage for anything but reading and owning a distraction free device is one of the biggest upsides of ereaders, for me anyway

i did root my kindle (got it as a present) and even a terminal is horrid to use… actually just ordered an xteink and really looking forward to an unlocked bootloader from the factory ^^

p.s. also i just got an email that they released a newer version which seems to have a better soc (don’t read comics but if that’s a reason maybe they’re already improving on that) edit: and it’s still half the price, most of which is probably the display itself tbf D:

what would happen is people would figure out it’s bs xD

the “you have reached your quota limit” at the end is just such a cherry on top xD

cos the ui is why people abandoned it… :picard:

the audacity (sorry :D)

that time she released that album under the name ‘tool’ and it topped her own in the charts surely must’ve been a career highlight :D

but wait, it gets even more cyberpunk: the security cam footage is on streamable! :o https://streamable.com/2e8p4v

nice… so we need a github marketing campaign to fund the software that makes the world run? nice…

the one thing that most federated platforms have over centralised structures is the possibility to migrate out of your current shitty fiefdom and the fact that the actual code is open source, so a community can make the choices about the possibilities the technology provides (which is mostly usually better than whatever a for profit company is “forced” into), whereas a centralised platform like bluesky can just ruin the codebase and keep it’s users hostage… which after all is one of the key factors to enshitification

edit: i do agree on your other points though, social networks are bound to turn into bubbles and we’ve already seen defederation based on petty squabbles :shrugs:

a bachelor of latte arts? xD
