honestly, the sooner more people realize the democrats stand for nothing, the better

@silverchangeling yeah. i think part of my frustration and disengagement was seeing all the weaknesses in the campaign the democrats were running but knowing there was nothing i could actually do to influence what would happen. and i still feel that way about the breakdown of the aftermath. democrats have so successfully insulated themselves from the left at this point that i think only a complete breakdown will change anything

more and more the conversations i’m having with people about climate change sound less like trying to get ppl to prevent and more trying just to convince ppl not to succumb to inaction from despair

i like emoji reacts a lot in group chats bc everyone doesn't need a ping for an lol or a +1. but i kinda prefer just a message in single chats bc i get a ping for it and i feel like that kind of stuff is half of friendly conversation

ocarina of time mod that just adds dark souls '... he he he' to the end of certain npcs dialogue

you don’t want “the old internet,” you want a space that hasn’t been colonized by capital

@mcc cohost felt like a social media site that tried to put into practice what everyone says they want the tech industry to be. it’s unfortunate we don’t yet live in a world where that’s viable

i can tell mastodon changed how notifications look somehow

every time i see artists compare revenue from spotify vs bandcamp im struck by how bandcamp does allow streaming? and most artists put their whole albums on there to stream?

and yet the simple act of just having an option to buy an album means they make orders of magnitude more money on bandcamp

got my washington state ballot and immediately wrote it in the only thing my conscience would allow

ah, 2024, when anytime u see a striking image about a political conflict you have to track down the source to make sure someone didn't just make it up

thinking about the phrase 'dont touch that dial' persisting long after televisions had buttons instead

so far one of my biggest complaints about linux is that some of the applications are too tiny for my laptop screen. but if i try to make the resolution smaller the format is all weird. i know there's probably a way to fix it but i haven't had the energy to do that yet. thanks for coming to my ted talk

i feel like “let us send everything you type to the cloud so we can do spellcheck for you!” is just a clear sign that society has gone wrong. we’ve been doing spellcheck fine without it for like. three decades

kinda want to get a pumpkin to carve but nervous about getting one home on the bus lmao

do you think consentless a/b testing is the thing that in the long-term has eroded trust in the tech industry the most
