Tweets and skeets are a megaphone based on spur-of-the-moment thoughts.

Large scale media campaigns have time and manpower to strategize angles, uptake and decide next steps.

The more we learn about bureaucrats with paper crowns, the more they’re revealed as deeply insecure children who, like the rest of us, are only pretending to know how to be grownups and really just doing random shit most of the time.

I don’t think any more thought went into this than that cat with a newspaper deciding to buy a boat.

The left wants to squeeze the rich until money comes out. Centrist republicans don’t.

That’s why those controlling the Democratic party will not save us. The left needs to take it from them.

Whoops lol; fixed. It wasn’t in the spellchecker and I searched for it with one ‘T’ and found enough results that I figured that was it.

The switch-up in titles (between ‘Redemptions’ and ‘Violences’) forced me to do some extra digging to find all the film info. The web search results were absolutely polluted with Star Trek links.

Not buying it.

The product leadership, directors and executives who dreamed this nightmare up and believed in it enough to make it a reality are still there.

Never trust them again.

Especially if you’re using those suspender strap clips that you need to lift up the mattress for to clip them on. I feel ya.

Ryan Murphy doesn’t answer such questions. He just… does shit.

Here’s what that data looked like:

This detail is worth a spotlight:

It depends on your level of expertise. It’s open source software that you download and run on hardware that you lease or own. So you need to know how to do that in order to use it. As those things go, it really isn’t difficult.

No, it’s not as easy as signing up for an account on some website. That’s the difference between third-party services (owned, operated and controlled by some random company your decide to trust) and software that YOU run, on hardware YOU control, with access that YOU decide upon, and no one who will gate it or take it away.

It’s a trade-off. Everyone must consider their wants vs needs and choose what’s most important to them.

What disappoints me is how quickly people are willing to throw up their hands and say IT’S TOO HARD without ever even trying.

Absolutely everybody here is sleeping on zulip.

You know, for kids!

The "wrong"ness is the point.

They’ve taken a story that’s a lesson about technological hubris and turned it into an ad for just such a technology of which people are existentially wary.

It’s being naughty about an ethics lesson; diet caffiene-free non-carbonated trolling.

If the mastodon instance never receives acknowledgement that the follow-request was approved, it’s probably not going to start fetching those messages. I’ve tried un-following and re-following; it still doesn’t work.

As I said intially, I think that qualifies the integration as only kinda-sorta working.

I did try that (following the community), but the mastodon account’s “request to follow” has been stuck in “awaiting approval” status. I run the Lemmy community that I’m trying to follow with my Mastodon account, but I don’t see how or where to approve these follow requests.

Are those requests gated by the mastodon admin perhaps?

Kinda sorta.

The specific mastadon instance I’m on (mefi.social) does show the existence of lemmy communities and users, but it doesn’t import their posts or replies. mastodon.social seems and some other larger implementations seem to work fine though. I’m not sure if this is a configuration issue or what.

Careful, that’s how you summon the ghost of old Jacob Marley.

Like I posted in the videos community, I really want someone to put together a fansub package for the halftime show that includes cultural references.

Yeah, I really wanted to pick a different post title, but community rules say I need to go with the source’s headline. :(
