“Become?”

Right?

Russia could end the war it started right now. And leave. It chooses not to.

I hate this dumbshit as much as trump, but we shouldn’t be sharing fake twitter posts. It doesn’t help anything.

The first planes only flew for a few seconds.

What’s also wild to me is if these were buddies of Jesus, they had this story of his birth, then nothing for thirty years, then a couple things, then death.

Where are all the stories about teenage Jesus doing sick jumps off a camel or whatever? We are missing a few decades of knowledge about this supposed most important person ever.

I remember when I learned all the gospels were written decades after the “fact.”

I can’t remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, and we are supposed to believe people played a game of telephone for a few decades and got everything correct when writing it down?

Sure, Jan.

Yep.

I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.

I took one of the free CS50 classes (among others) on EdX years and years ago, and honestly it helped get me into the business and into the job I have now.

It’s fun to joke I took a MIT class for free. But it honestly helped me learn some logic and enough stuff to get me going.

If I’m at home I always sit, like a king.

Plus the zero cleanup is a huge bonus.

My 1070 still plays Final Fantasy XIV just fine, so I think I keep my $3,400, thanks.

Yeah, this one guy has been trying to jumpstart so many projects. And that’s admirable, but it’s also too much for one dude (and I know he’s tried to get some other people, but there has been drama around that - by him, I think).

But more to your point - something feels a little off even though I can’t confirm anything. It does feel like this guy might just take some money and run if given the chance.

And I don’t necessarily blame him for that - I probably would too. I don’t want to work, and if I had money I wouldn’t.

But there’s just this feeling I can’t shake about all of it. And I have a Pixelfed and a Loops account. They are both fine, so we’ll see, I guess. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I end back up with Mastodon being my sole social place for sharing photos, for example.

Realtalk: The $7 “decades” menu item or the $7 Luxe Cravings Box is one of the best deals in fast food right now.

These usually have a taco, a “fancier” taco (like a double decker), and a burrito, AND chips and queso AND a drink. If you want a large drink it’s $.20 more. So for about $8 you can get a lot of food.

Compared to McDonald’s that somehow charges like $11+ for a Double Quarter Pounder meal now, it’s a great deal.

I may be lucky in that the Taco Bell near me has line cooks that actually know what they are doing. I know that’s not a luxury everyone has. But I’ll never turn down some Taco Bell.

Yeah, I paid for PCalc because someone put in effort to make it, and it’s good. Don’t feel bad about that.

But I wouldn’t subscribe to one.

'It didn’t work the first time we tried to launch a streaming service. But THIS time…"

The people there seem pretty chill in my experience so far.

Hopefully this money will allow that ONE DUDE to get some help in managing these apps. I know he has maybe a couple of collaborators now, but maybe they can get some more dedicated people to build out the apps. It’s a lot for one or two people to try and spin up two apps at once.

The Pixelfed app that dropped last week, for example, doesn’t even have a button to view the global feed. It’s better to just use the main website of whatever server you are on right now, even on your mobile device.

We don’t care about professional coders any more. You know, the people making all these “breakthroughs” we are so happy about.

I definitely care about the opinions of CEOs because it directly lets me know which companies to support or not.

If a CEO is a trash, then I don’t want to give them my money. Simple capitalism, that.

I wish there was an easy way to know which servers are getting hammered more than others.

I can easily make a post to my server via the website, but the app was giving me trouble, as an example. That’s why I wonder where the hiccup is/was. Both the website and app are just interfaces to get data to a server, so if one doesn’t work I’d assume the other doesn’t too. But I dunno.

Edit: After writing this I went back and tried posting from the app again. It finally worked! I guess things have settled down.

I have a Pixelfed account and have tried the app.

But I can’t actually make posts using it. Don’t know where the hiccup is.
