@kaia Or we don't know real Italy — maybe they put on their cheerful "work faces", then they go home and at last — they can get back to assembling true to life model of a Japanese battleship, consisting of 10'000 pieces. Or at least spend the weekend quietly reading a XVIII century romantic novel :marseylaughwith:
@kaia@vitalis@thatbrickster We used to have this strong alcohol mixed drink — when they serve it, they give you a hard hat that you have to put on, and when you finish gulping it down, they hit you on that hat with a baseball bat :marseydizzy: Apparently, some think that it's fun! Not sure they still do it — younger people seem more sane to me and at least wouldn't want this to be done to them voluntarily :marseyemojismilemouthcoldsweat:
@kaia Okay, my (Three-letter-based surveillance device): "How many wives Malcolm X had?" No-no-no-no-no! Close this tab! Another one: "Was L. Ron Hubbard monogamous?"
@kaia He doesn't work in tech, right? This is where they teach you: if something works — never touch it! Otherwise you might spend a week on fixing it… and you might even have to build Python from source :marseyaware:
@kaia Then they come back home, log into their Poast account and post something like "They told me that if I work out, girls would like me — but they still don't :marseytabletired2: Damn feminists! In the fifties I would have 5 tradwives, 20 kids and 40 homes by now!!!"
@mischievoustomato@dcc@phnt Well, the fact the few people use it is probably true, how few — we do not know that. "But people on Reddit…" — is anecdotal evidence and it isn't any better than statistics with flawed methodology.
Whether you like what these numbers imply or not: no one uses Firefox (you agree with that) or no one uses Wayland (you disagree with that) — you simply shouldn't trust them.
@dcc@phnt@mischievoustomato I wouldn't trust reports based on telemetry in software that is most often used by the crowd who hates telemetry :marseyemojismilemouthcoldsweat:
@kaia What it takes to appear in your feed: a video of Trump drinking Bavarian beer while lending OpenAI-driven cars to Putin's working class kids living in Mongolia — but they can't use them because China is yet to plan and build infrastructure for it :marseynotes:
(for the sake of completeness — slop bowl is this reply as a whole)
@romin@lain Bu-bu-but I have a huge collection on physical media and an extensive library on BandCamp! Does this mean that I'm special? Not like the others? :marseyhappytears:
