It’s sad but I agree. Lemmy works well, especially if you use third-party apps such as Voyager, but Mastodon… is so badly thought. I can navigate it because I’m a technical person, but normal people will never be able to understand how to use it, what are instances, why it asks me to type my instance when I want to follow someone, etc.

Using a VPN means that all your traffic is routed through a possibly malicious actor.

On Android, all messaging apps have bubbles.

This is the only solution to modern world problems. Imagine how many problems we would solve right away if we started gunning down powerful people, CEOs, politicians.

“Cancel culture” as a term has been abused, but this one… damn this is really cancel culture.

It’s sad because Stack Exchange came out because Experts Exchange sucked. And now they also suck.

In the day of AI, will we ever have a new alternative?

I think Kagi is way better, but unluckily it’s a paid product. Most of the people will never pay for a search engine.

It’s a classic comedy movie from the '80s. To a modern audience some jokes will appear too raunchy or racist, but I think it’s still worth a watch.

Great movie. Some jokes surely have aged badly, but it’s a classic.
