When can we get some of those EVs and stop pretending that Tesla is a legitimate automobile company?

Yeah I’m not arguing that deplatforming doesn’t work, I just think the highly improbable boat story is silly to even address.

Lol as much as this is a fun larp, and reddit did take too long to ban them, I’m not partial to taking random twitter/mastodon/<insert social media> discourse as gospel. I think it’s goofy when conservatives do it, and I think it’s goofy here.

Which is fine with me tbh because fuck sales. I’d never survive independently, because I’d tell the customer the truth. And the truth doesn’t sell. I don’t have the energy to lie about how everything is better than it actually is.

Lol yeah I can’t get on it at work anymore. Goodbye to all the traffic they get from people looking for tech advice on corporate networks. Fucking morons.

I was wrong

As a DM I 100% thought this was going to be D&D related given “concentration” and “magic”

I dry my sheets separately because otherwise yeah, a bunch of clothes get stuck in the fitted sheet and don’t dry. Honestly I never have the issue of the elastic failing to keep it on the bed, and I toss and turn a lot. You might just need new sheets if the elastic is starting to fail, or better sheets. Or maybe they’re not quite the right size for your bed.

It is literally their job to ensure the patient has taken the medication prescribed to them as directed by the doctor. It’s a controlled environment. It’s a hospital.

Seems more like a question you should direct at your manager and coworkers, but you know you won’t like their answers, so you’re asking here where we lack context lol.

And it’s the same here! Yay!

It clicked at a young age, I’ve been good at it and enjoyed it since I was like 13. Found out it was profitable a little later and yeah, that’s all it really took. Just the path of least resistance to be honest.

They usually have fruit, jello, pudding, and a shitty soft serve machine where I’m from lol

Lol exactly. It’s often like the same exact 4 accounts on that trending page too. And it’s always these topics:

• Trump
• Musk
• Current war
• LGBT
• Linux

It’s just politics and Linux. Which is fine if you like that, I like Linux, but not this much. Being completely overwhelmed by political takes was part of why I left Twitter, with the blue checks being boosted. I’m so tired of seeing that same dude in a suit with a white beard bitching about [insert today’s controversial political topic] every time I open it. It’s like he has residency on the page.

Same. And I really gave it a chance, but it’s just not better unless you’re using it as a small chronological feed of people on your local instance. Which I know some people enjoy. I know interesting people and posts are on there, I know there are hilarious people on there, because I follow some of them. But the vast majority of them I discovered by random chance, it took a long time, and I’m still too bored by the app to bother opening it. Not to mention, if some important news is trending, I don’t see it right away. Which is something I’d always valued twitter for. I could pretty much be “in the know” within seconds of opening the app.

The people are there, the content is there, there’s 100% a discoverability problem

Oh I know, and I fully agree with getting rid of that. I’m not looking for ideal, I’m just looking for SOMETHING better than “oh you aren’t finding interesting content? Subscribe to hashtags that get spammed with BS by thousands of bots per day. Or search some obscure websites for ‘trendy’ mastodon users to follow. Or y’know what, this instance probably isn’t for you, research a bunch of other instances and see if something works better.”

The experience right now seems like one, to me, that a very small niche of people would enjoy. And that’s fine if they want to stay that way, just wish there was something better. And I think it’ll come with time.

I can’t, given I don’t have the time or webdev experience. So I’ll comment about features I think would be nice in the currently most popular fediverse twitter clone.

If it’s based on what I like and repost, and recommends things that people with similar likes and reposts enjoy, that information is already out there. No extra data collection required. Doesn’t need to be mandatory either, just a separate feed.

I’d really just prefer a recommendation algorithm. I tried curating it for months and I rarely go on mastodon. Because I’m either seeing 100000 posts that I’m not interested in to find one decent one, or reading posts from the very few people I know I like and closing the app in 2 minutes. I’m honestly not a fan of the purely chronological approach.
