I gotta say, and maybe it’s just me, but the reaction to this stuff is so much better on Lemmy than it was on Reddit. Redditors seem to hate the homeless.

Sometimes I wish I traveled more when I was younger. Then I remember that I couldn’t afford to travel when I was younger.

Salt & vinegar goes amazingly well with onion dip.

I’m glad we brought it up and glad you took it seriously!

Genuinely, I would buy some of their games on Steam if they didn’t use their launcher.

Did it hit any bare skin? Might be a good idea to get shots for rabies. Bat bites and scratches can be so small we don’t feel them.

I haven’t had a DLL issue in Windows in like 20 years.

Their feelings don’t care about facts.

It’s just easier. I have both but I almost never use Mastodon anymore. Federation there doesn’t seem to work right. I didn’t know what an instance was so I joined mastodon.social. Finding and following people in the app doesn’t always seem to work right if they’re on another instance. Doing it in a browser is even more painful.

The people I liked to follow and interact with on X, many tried Mastodon and abandoned it, and many more are now on Bluesky. This creates momentum to “follow the crowd” as it were.

Additionally, you only have one chance to make a first impression. A lot of us tried Mastodon earlier and it wasn’t ready. Bluesky started as invite-only, which drummed up interest before catching this zeitgeist of people leaving X.

Lastly, and maybe it’s just me, but the font sizing on the official Mastodon app on Android is generally too small and can’t be changed. Bluesky allows me to change it and make it more comfortable to use.

His work is probably just sending emails and booking meetings.

Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984

Well, from 1984

I bet he looks good on the dancefloor.

This is just a picture of Ron Perlman.

I mentioned to that guy that he MIGHT want to turn his lights off or there would be kids all night, but walking past at the end of our evening, all his lights were on still.

I think this is definitely part of it. When I was a kid, lights == giving out candy. Now, tonight, I had multiple trick-or-treaters almost go by my house before they noticed I was sitting outside with a bowl, despite the lights and decorations.

It’s the worst treadmill. By the time I finish implementing/refactoring something, they replace it with a new standard and deprecate the old way.
