@shep @jemostrom @odd @Mtt — Oh, what the hell? What the hell!
I hadn’t thought so many had a similar experience w/ Apollo. What an excellent app. I enjoyed running with the gods too, but alas, like any other, the epoch swivels. The real tragedy is the impending data loss. One hopes that after they squeeze the money juice out they would archive the pulp for the general research benefit. We’ll see.
@kballweg cheers!
@adamasnemesis -phobic, -philic, these are dispositions, not arguments. The Russian people seem inordinately resilient, but the government seems resilient to the people, and their ’policies’ suck ass.
@baldur Congrats! 😆 btw, did you see my recent post of some vc’s ai info collection? You might actually have posted the link long ago, but I stumbled up on it recently and thought it valuable.
@hawaiiboy If they would a) abandon their stupid link envelopes and b) support RSS in an obvious and inviting way, then I would be happy.
If they would just stop screwing around with old school big stack of glossy economics and just implement instant temporary sub-subscriptions I would be happier. Imagine if apple would subscribe one to a pubs free limited time access, then show one the articles one wants, then cancels one’s sub at end of trial, all invisible.
@ru All the greed-heads were raised on TV. They want the internet to be TV. They understand TV. They don’t understand this.

@dominikhoecht I want to do something about it, but I don’t know how. Perhaps a stupid dad joke.
What is the difference twixt a cocktail lounge and dinosaur fart?
A cocktail lounge is a bar room, but a dinosaur fart is a bA-ROOM!!!
You can pick up my DVD in the lobby…
@kballweg This makes me happier than it should—but I’m also seeing it animated seven sinbads skeleton style, which really works, and the gnomes are joyfully surprised despite being eaten and crushed. :-) the whole package, really.
Is this an artifact irl or just foto fun?
Yes, I believe there is consensus that we tire of self righteous lecturing twits giving voice to banalities, unenlightening edge cases, and anecdotal humble brags about the favor they think they are doing everyone. Their offerings originate in deep seated fear of irrelevance, or preventing some inaccuracy in the panopticons morality spreadsheet, it is difficult to tell with all the yelling.
That they would (also) appear on BlueSky and Mast prompts me to ask myself if this phenomena is common enough to be expected in social software per se, or particular only to scaled commercial extractive social software, or something to do with identity?
One should try to ask three impossible questions before lunch, right?
@mrcompletely shit’s plausible rather than precise, detecting the difference could save your life, walkin’ un-canny valley, lo-fi slice! dice won’t cut it—drive your device!
And, no, I don’t know why I got all hip=hoppy all of a sudden.
