There is this classic:

Yeah, the OIL joke is 20 years old.

We have so much more you can make fun of.

Normal World: Children become autonomous early on in their development and are able to travel relatively short-to-medium distances without the need of a chaperone.

American World: Children are forbidden from venturing 2 feet into the outside world without a pair of 21 Year-old eyes oogling them at all times. Travel of children autonomously under the age of 16 is forbidden. Any concerns about a child’s development are swiftly hand waved away because the mystical child-stealing candy van might drive on by and snatch your obviously stupid and oblivious child. Anyway, don’t forget to go to church!

Just don’t vote for Biden! When he loses, he’ll see the error of his ways in supporting a genocide. Then next electio- oh… oh…

The past few months to a year or so we’ve seen a total restructure of the internet. Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have been actively scaring away their user bases.

It’s resulting in a split and divided internet. Like the days of old. Fediverse ActivityPub integration is the only thing that can undo that and revive these all-in-one style communications platforms.

I’m curious to see if it will be better or worse.

Can’t relate.

“Right next to the Microsoft building?”

“Oh that’s not Microsoft, that’s-… big hard”

Not again.

Just when I was hoping to see some fan games start popping up, we’re gonna get Spyro 4: It’s about Slime or whatever. And they’ll probably lock it behind their stupid blizzard launcher and it will be console exclusive before it makes it to pc etc. etc.

I’m done. I loved Spyro, but it’s time to let a dead franchise rest in peace.

This is it. This is 100% it.

“I suffered, so should you.”

The American dream.

Don’t use the isp’s router/modem, it’s terrible in general.

Well, actually it can be. It just takes a lot more to decompile code than compile it. Depending on the objective accuracy.

Example: the Super Mario 64 Decompilation project. This was a project that used various debug data that was left in the rom to decompile the game back to a source code that compiled a byte accurate version of the rom. This took about 3 years and a lot of skilled developers to accomplish.

Side note: Super Mario Bros wasn’t built using a compiled language, but rather Assembly. So technically that would be a Disassembly not a Decompilation.

Yeah, see the original was actually an old tucker segment accusing liberals of making spiders less sexy.

2020 4 give it up for 2020 4!

I can’t officially put a Creative Commons on most of my memes. But my memes are fine to share. If I feel particularly proud I put a watermark in it. Not because I want people to think “oh that meme is stolen.” But I want people to know it was my doing.

GOTO Hell isn’t correct and will lead to a syntax error

20 GOTO 4311 is technically correct but you’re actually going to hell for writing your script this way.

What’s happening July 1st?

“avada kedavra” bang

I understand the issue of “it’s a Fediverse only if the network is diversified.” And “it’s difficult for new users to understand.” But if we also go down the path of making the system like a standard centralized network we defeat the purpose of the Fediverse.

Our issue isn’t a “we need to copycat our predecessors” it’s a “we need to explain how we work in a simple enough way no one could possibly misunderstand.”

I’ve tried various methods of explaining it, and I think the issue is half bad explanations and half a lack of interest.

We need to also start pressing our strengths. The Fediverse, as it’s nature of an AGPLv3 project, is ad free. We also don’t have the weight of megacorps deciding what is allowed to be shared because of said ad revenue.

Avoid talking about the technology. Boast our numbers, we’re 2 million strong on Lemmy and 14 million Fediverse wide. Avoid confusion, offer help, and press our advantages.
