@selzero "has demand for 15"?!

Leave it to that alien-wearing-a-human-suit to believe that having friends is a supply-side problem that he can fix with capitalism.

What a fucking creep.

@selzero teenage marketing salesman turtles

@killyourfm how does one find that space? (I have just created my Matrix account so this is all~ new to me.)

@killyourfm I'd be interested to know more. I used to host a retro gaming podcast and I miss that sort of experience.

What are you thinking for group size, discussion forum, sync or async, etc?

@chris @jalefkowit "nulling"?

@selzero dark times are here and will be for the foreseeable future but if you look hard you can still find the light.

@mike I turned to my partner and said "jesus spotify had like 10,000 employees! What the hell do all those people do?" and she said "they cut the pennies into little pieces that go to artists."

And I laughed. Then I was sad.

@thanius @selzero there is at least one sort of thing like that because I received it as a gift a few years ago. You could, ironically, fill a library with things that idiot has said.

@selzero jfc that quote is real and is from 13 god damn years ago. Wtf is happening?

@aral the *world* today? 😔

@aral I'd feel bad for him that a quote from he was like 19 has followed him for so long... except every 6 months he does something to prove he hasn't changed, grown, or improved *at all.*

Damn this is very trippy and very cool.

I learned you can set custom filters in uBlockOrigin (you use an ad blocker, RIGHT?) to also block domains you don't want to see in *search results*. Total game changer.

This tool will help you build the rules to filter the domains you want to filter (and you can even subscribe to it so you can easily add over time instead of copy/pasting!)

Bye bye, Pinterest, w3schools, msn, and all the other sites I *never ever* want to see!

I'm pretty sure I hate leaf blowers. They're an assault on the eyes (removing fall foliage) and the ears (WIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR).

Not every location needs to be groomed like a god damn putting green.

@Mastodon will servers be encouraged to have definitive policies on how data from their server can be used that are clear and understandable? I'd like to know that a friend boosting my post, making it visible to a Threads user, and they like it, does not give Meta permission to scrape and reuse my data.

Having such policies as part of running a server would be incredibly welcome if it's not already there.

@atomicpoet it's a common marketing strategy. He props his thing up and doesn't comment/compare to his competitors at all. Acknowledging them is a losing proposition because superior or not it gives a competitor air time instead of being the only topic of conversation.

Imagine how much easier a debate is to win if you never have to stop talking and the audience believes there is only your side.

You're never going to win on the merits of your argument. The only winning move is not to play.
