A generational wealth transfer from Gen Z and Gen Alpha to the millennials and Gen X. Thanks for the dough, suckers!
Sometimes I react to a post and then a second later I'm like "Oh wait, their software doesn't support reacts"
I'm not a great Activitypub developer in the first place, so that would just be me misinterpreting the documentation. Appreciate the clarification.
And for those who don't know what it is, Smithereen is a "Federated, ActivityPub-compatible social network server with friends, walls, and groups."
It looks like groups are implemented similar to platforms like friendica where there's a "user" that people post at that will then distribute the posts they're sent to any followers.

The press wonders why nobody trusts them anymore.

It can be the right tool for the job, but it's much more limited than claimed. You get a power source that works really well in late June during the day, but doesn't work great in winter in most places (because the sun isn't out) or at night (because the sun isn't out). In some places that's exactly when power is needed the most (peak energy use often occurs during the day on the hottest days of summer), but on the other hand we also use electricity for light at night and for heating our homes in the winter.
Some people go "Just use batteries", but given the scale of the engineering challenges associated with energy storage on that scale, it's like saying "just let them eat cake" when there's no bread to eat. It just isn't that easy.

It's always genocide all the way down with these people.
"Oh, but we are saving the environment!"
Yeah, tell that to the sparrows.

Man, not sure how I missed this back when.
(But if you're vegan I'm pretty sure injecting bull dick adrenaline into your veins isn't vegan?)

They can't retroactively change DRM-Free install files sitting on your hard drive -- which is why it's important that you have control over your own shit rather than hoping for software stores to continue being benevolent. If you can't have the install media and use it any time you want, you're just renting.
It's also the reason why everyone should want local DRM-Free copies of their favorite songs and movies, because there's no guarantee that will continue being available. It's only a matter of time until the commissars start to realize that nobody is eating their slop and they start trying to pressure stores to stop providing the stuff people have already purchased, or to pressure streaming services to stop providing old movies or TV shows entirely since that's also going on.
But do you think steam doesn't let publishers change the games they publish? Because I got news for you... They can and they do.

I feel like the worst part about Manhua is that you could read like 1200 chapters and then it's like "ok, you're caught up but absolutely nothing is even close to be resolved, see you next week!"
There's something to be said for stories with a complete narrative arc that tell you a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

The dummies who think they can take over our culture by sneaking into our video games don't realize that we don't buy the latest games because we have to, we buy them because we want to, and if they stop making games we want to buy, we'll just stop buying and play what we have instead.
I feel like this is one big reason we need to be fighting for DRM-Free games like on GOG, because if we don't control our games, we're effectively renting them and if the companies running the game stores decide it isn't profitable to keep letting us play them, they can very easily take that from us. Gaben probably wouldn't do that, but what about after he dies of old age and a bunch of idiots infiltrate valve? We'll get Half Life 3 starring Alyx Vance (sorry Gordon Freeman got killed in the intro) and steam will stop serving games with too low of a DEI score.

[Admin Mode] Looks like we may have been having some connectivity issues for the past 12 hours or so. I'm not at home right now so I assumed it was due to my connection here being bad in general, so I didn't address it right away. This morning I still wasn't connecting so I was able to get it back up happily again.
I had a revelation a few years ago. "How do we know the materials we use are safe?" And the answer is we don't really. We assume they're safe because we've been generally ok, but We rely a lot of random shit we extract out of nasty black ooze we find in the ground.
Lol "everyone on earth will block you!"
Reminds me of the people who think defederation on the fediverse means someone they don't like will be stuck in a sensory deprivation chamber when the reality is the opposite.

There's a lot of paths to success both traditional and non-traditional, but a lot of people think they'll get rich doing what everyone is doing to the letter.
Even right now, there are houses that a millennial working pretty much any job can afford. My mom bought a property with two houses for $30k CAD (1 cad is about .70 USD, so $21,000). With good looking houses? Absolutely not. They looked exactly like a meth lab. It was a run down shitty asset. But then she did what you do with an undervalued asset and started fixing it up. Tore out everything down to bare studs, sealed it up, insulated, rewired, put up new gyprock, built new walls, all the assorted stuff you need in a home, and sold the house for 110k, which is another price most millennials could afford.
So there's a few things here: it's a house in a second or third tier city. Most people want to live in New York or Los Angeles, well that isn't happening, get over it. It's a house that didn't start off showroom ready. Most people don't want to put work into a fixer upper, they want something they can just move into, and you're gonna pay for a well kept house.
But this wasn't the 1970s, this whole situation started for my mom in the late 2010s (2018ish she bought the place) and ended during the pandemic. She moved and lives in a other lower tier city in another cheap house.
