This is what I call the linux bubble. People who use linux and are used to alternate solutions, which may offer better performance than the norm. Then they surround themselves with other like minded people. So much so that they begin to forget that they are using alternatives rather than the norm. Despite what benefits they gain from alternatives, some people can’t grasp that they are, in fact, alternatives.

Twitter has 368 million monthly users. I find it to be a cesspool of hate, racism, and right wing agenda.

So you would think mastodon or bluesky would have equal or better numbers.

Bluesky has 9.7 million monthly users, which includes a huge recent boost because of brazil ceasing twitters ability to operate. I think that alone was 2 million users.

And mastodon has 975,000 monthly users.

So yes, despite it’s flaws, twitter is still the default in microblogging. By a LOT. But I’m sure the feeling around here is “who still uses twitter???”.

Everybody. Same way everybody uses google. Same way everybody uses instagram. And it’s not even close to being close.

Don’t forget your glue on your pizza! Can’t have a pizza without glue…

Is that the one that costs money? You can’t have a true incognito search if that’s the case.

I’ve said before and I’ll say again. I would use the option on amazon for shipping that says “let your employees pee”. I get my package 2-3 days later. Oh well. I don’t give a shit. I’d rather normalize companies treating people like people. And if I get my limited edition pez dispenser 3 days later, so be it.

Not like it’s an oxygen tank.

Ok, but I’m still not going back to wearing pants.

It’s a thing.

Well the majority of the post was me trying to explain the question. I can’t just say “Has anyone else had the same thoughts I had?” because the first thing that would be asked is “What thoughts are you having?”

So yeah, I had to backtrack and explain my thoughts before I could ask if anyone else is having them. I was trying to learn if there’s other people who feel this way, or if this is among the many many many other things that people say “No, it’s just you”.

You saying that this is a thing other people experience is what I was trying to figure out. You’re taking a tone like it’s obvious, but it’s not obvious to me, so I thought this would be the place to ask things like that.

I’m his first/only, her 3rd. My sisters are roughly 10 years older than me.

I feel like some people are just emotional reactionaries. They see a certain story, and in their own mind they make the story worse than it is, and treat their feelings as fact.

I have no sources on this, or proof that this guy in particular is doing that.

…wait, am I doing it right now???

Hmmmmm…

New stratagy…apply to the same company 400 times. With 400 different aliases. With 400 different disguises.

Exaust them with competition all looking for the same job. Which drowns out the 20 or so candidates. And then you just need to start a new life under your new name. Easy peasy.

Except not easy at all. It’s actually incredibly complicated keeping each character seperate, and remembering which accients to use, and then commiting to the bit for the next 60 years.

God dammit. I JUST replied to someone with a joke answer of what the most pointless question is.

And then IMMEDIATELY see this! This one is so much better at being a joke pointless question!!!

Literally never heard that name before. I assume he fights G.I. Joe in the 1980s?

Are you Jeff Goldbloom?

Fred at his height was the most subscribed person on youtube.

These people aren’t celebrities. They’re blink and you’ll miss it wisps in the wind. Their downfall happens real fast once people stop giving a shit.

I mean…you’re the only one engaging. Up until 3 days ago I had zero concept that this person existed.

So just shut up, and he’ll go away. You don’t see anybody talking about Fred anymore. HEEEY ITTSSS FREEEEDDD!!! Remember him? Barely? Exactly.

But what if they keep doing it anyways?

Ban from what exactly?

Ok…but now what forces these companies to actually pay? What happens if they just DON’T pay?

How much space does it come out of the box? I bought my PS5 a year ago.

It came with 667GB of space. Some games take up 100gb.

And now you want to make it digital only??? Uhhhh, fuck that. You better be giving me like 1000 terabytes.

That’s why your favorite letter is R.
