if you posses the vast cosmic power of not having crippling social anxiety, you should contact them and beg them to make the information available literally anywhere else as well.

unfortunately the problem is that “aren’t technically filling the same space” is a big understatement, they’re further apart than lemmy and mastodon are and i highly doubt anyone here would consider moving to mastodon even remotely sensible, they’re just utterly different structures.


It’s been perfectly fine for years, could certainly be made easier to visually parse but like… it does the job, it works, it’s fine.



it exists lol, just make a circle selection and then “stroke selection”


ironically i find inkscape vastly more intimidating than gimp, inkscape’s interface is barely comprehensible at all whereas gimp is just slightly clunky.


it’s like they’re doing everything they can to make the sabotaging of datacenters as appealing as possible, next step is to label every datacenter with the value of the components inside.


yeah right sorry, i forgot there are no ways to hide traffic or limit what’s accessible, it’s just fundamentally impossible 😔


i really hope reticulum could enable easy wifi meshing, that should be rather revolutionary. Imagine people in apartment buildings being able to share their unused wired bandwidth!


I would straight up ban them and just make an “official” post when it can reliably be claimed that it’s reached a 5-point interval, e.g. 5/10/15/20 etc…


Perhaps more mildly infuriating is that the mods here seem to be on vacation


but like, they could just fork those clients and add those features

eh, i don’t think things’ll have time to regress that far before the pendulum swings back, plus it’s only getting easier to set up your own connections over long distances.
What i can see disappearing are things like youtube and global multiplayer gaming, because that’s just so incredibly data-heavy. But lightweight stuff like sane websites, forums, chats… that’s quite feasible on something like a globally interconnected mesh. At worst you’ll have to wait a bit for things to load, but like… we would probably benefit from that…


honestly i’ve been slowly working towards that kinda lifestyle for a few years now and i kinda hope the “internet” fucking dies so i’m free to go all the way, it just seems like what things should be like if our recent development wasn’t so directed by corporate interests or just happened more slowly.
Old-timey life was really quite a lot better in many ways, like we’re just not evolved to constantly read about every single horrible event that happens to any human, and we need to be a little bit bored sometimes.
But also smartphones are fucking awesome and i like being able to call emergency services if i’ve fallen and i can’t get up, which even the actual amish recognize.
Also the aesthetics/vibes of judicious mixing of technological eras is fucking impeccable, i want the countryside to look like Hobbiton, small towns like 18th century sweden, cities to look like 1920’s new york with everything VIOLENTLY art deco, and all of it connected with trams and trains that look like metal caterpillars and where 30-minute departure frequency is seen as bordering on not even having service.


hope for the best, prepare to go amish
when you say “every single iteration”, does that include stuff like lineageos? Because that’s what i’ve been using for ages and i still struggle to believe how non-shitty it is.
ironically google’s pixel lineup is one of the best options available, i’ve been using that for many years now and it’s so fucking easy to install lineage on them.
seriously, lineageos after having dived into every setting is by far the best mobile experience these days, i’m almost never even slightly annoyed by it.


the most basic rule of thumb that should ALWAYS be held to is that a human has to take responsibility for the actions of a tool, computers cannot be held accountable.
great thing about git is that you can just set up a gitzillion different repos and push to them
