Don't get shamed into disabling your adblocker to "support creators".
Ads pay so little, it really doesn't matter.
If you want to do the financial support, just donate to them. That is the equivalent of multiple thousand ad views.

"Supporting the devs" is not a concept that applies to AAA games. The only people making money off sales are the publisher and executives, not the artists, coders and other staff. Who, as we know, are likely to get laid off regardless of how sales go.

Save that stuff for small studios, they're the ones actually operating at small margins.

I wanted to take this time to once again thank every single being on fedi that posts pictures, even mundane ones, with image descriptions. Thank you for describing your screenshot, your drawing, your selfie, your cat. Seriously. Thank you. I'm not sure if you realize how much that means to me.

Thank you Justice Ginsburg, for your service to our nation. We won't let you down. #RBG

Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87. The Supreme Court justice was a legal pioneer for gender equality.

You should be able to use and program now matter how spy worthy it is. We are not China after all. Tik tok and whatsapp is trash but you should be able to use it regardless.

@Shufei They have both blind trust and understanding of tech. Whenever I read anything about this I can't help but laugh.. nanomachines, AI, von neuman satellite, are you fucking kidding me, we can't even manufacture a bluetooth speaker that works consistently.

Their flying cars are gonna run on electron, their prosthetic limbs will randomly reboot, their embrace in technological know-how would be inspiring, if it wasn't so deluded.

Sometimes when I have a strong opinion about a discussion going on on the fediverse that's all the more reason to just let it slide on by without opening my mouth.

One idea that always stuck with me, is that 'powerful people don't need to shout'. Along the same lines, people who are actually confident and well rounded don't need to talk about how great they are all the time. It gives interesting context to the bloviating fascist dictators like mussolini and trump, who must dickwave at every opportunity.

I strongly dislike the platform but next it could be Wikipedia and everyone will care. For that reason I have to care for this today.

@georgespolitzer What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Turkey

I am dumb to tech but I still use it. I think it's supposed to be made to be accessible to everyone, it's why Linux and tech bros anger me so much because they want to make it super exclusive but treat you like an idiot for not getting it or always being able to do literally everything yourself.

Stop trying to push Linux onto everyone, it was never made for everyone. Open source doesn't mean openly accessible
