I pronounce “salmon”, “solder”, “colonel”, “victual”, “gunwale”, “vineyard”, and “indict” all phonetically. I still insist that they’re alternative pronoucniations and not “wrong ways to pronounce them”. If that’s the case, then say “GIF” however the hell you want.

It’s the fediverse Lite (doesn’t work with ActivityPub, it’s its own protocol). It’s also Twitter Lite (created by the founder of Twitter, now known as X). It’s the worst of both worlds.

Boy do I actually miss that service. It just worked. And then they killed it.

I get addicted by farming downvotes now. Because imaginary internet points are so useless. Why get karma when you can get negative karma?

Psst. You see that ⬇️ arrow? Give it a press, please.

Lemmy is great. So great that I named myself after it (my nickname was just “Resol” before then, now it’s obviously “Resol van Lemmy”, it sounds very Flemish). I do have a problem with it though. Most communities I was active on on Reddit are either nonexistent on Lemmy or just not big enough to maintain daily activity, making them look like ghost towns. Also, I had to shuffle between different clients because I didn’t have a satisfactory experience with some, I’m currently using Sync because the interface is so nice (although I like how Jerboa shows the upvote to downvote ratio in addition to the total score). In addition to all this, I got help cutting down on screentime thanks to the Fediverse. I just didn’t have much addiction anymore, which is always a good thing. I don’t know what else to say.

Safari still uses the WebKit engine… right?

Google Chrome used to use WebKit before switching to their own weird engine that a whole bunch of other browsers now use.

That writing looks so odd, I’m guessing it’s supposed to be a Southeast Asian language like Laotian? Or maybe it’s the Georgian script but much more f***ed up.

It would suck to see the Internet Archive disappear over a bunch of music labels suing them. How am I supposed to see what jcctv.net looked like back in 2011?

(Yes, jcctv.net is a real website. However it doesn’t do much today.)

The part everyone agrees on: the results of Eurovision 2023 were extremely controversial and everyone keeps complaining that the juries don’t do their jobs properly

The unpopular opinion part: Belgium should’ve won. Not Sweden. Not even Finland. Also, Loreen might return when you least expect it.

DankPods is pretty cool. It’s been on hiatus since late July, but I still cannot get enough of it. If you’re into old electronics, audio and the sort, check it out.

The dude who owns it, Wade Nixon, also owns Garbage Time (fixing cars), The Drum Thing (drums and cymbals), Hello, I’m Gaming (gameplay of cheaply made games) and Dankmus (Simpsons remixes, although this one is much more inactive than the others).

On the TV version of YouTube, I still have no idea how to turn that off. It’s much easier on desktop and mobile.

Resol, 10 months ago

At least there’s something to do here. Mastodon almost always feels like a ghost town to me. I only really keep it on my home screen because I like the icon.

Resol, 10 months ago

I originally thought it would display everything from every instance by default, but if it isn’t, then I don’t know why you would design a social media platform to work in a federated manner if only stuff from your instance is shown.

Resol, 10 months ago

Nah, something is missing.

I don’t see a “connection timed out” corner. I don’t see a Windows taskbar. I don’t see people replicating Bad Apple. It feels wrong to not have these.

It’s just called “Game”? It kinda reminds me of this game store in the UK also called “GAME”, all caps this time.

If their fediverse plan goes according to plan (did I just rhyme that?), then I might see some more potential in using Threads. Maybe I can also get rid of my Mastodon account because I literally don’t use it anymore (I can’t get rid of my Threads account without also getting rid of my Instagram account. It’s both or nothing)

7am always felt a bit too early for me. I would say that 9 to 1 is a lot better. It’s still exactly the same period, it just happens later in the day, two hours later to be exact.

But I guess some people enjoy waking at dawn. And to those people, I say “good for you”.

I’m from Morocco, and school usually goes from 8 to 12, then again from 2 to 6, sometimes 3 to 7. Yes, we can leave school as late as 7 in the evening sometimes. During the winter, that’s exactly when the sun sets. Also, you have lunch at home. Every. Single. Time. Also, only Wednesdays are exempt from afternoon school, but only if you’re in primary school, because as soon as you enter secondary school, the whole week is filled up to the brim. And add homework on top of all this. And usually we get that from every single subject (yes, even PE). In many ways, this is worse than what you Muricans are doing. If you guys are being tortured, we’re being sent to hell and back 5 days a week every single week for the most part. Also, 1 week holidays every 6 weeks. That’s it. And since we’re Muslims, we don’t even get the 2-3 week “Christmas break”. You stay home on January 1st, and go to school the very next day if it’s not a weekend. We even study during Ramadan. It sucks less because we leave earlier, but it still sucks. Also, we don’t have snow days. Only a super small part of the country gets snow, and you still have to go to school even if that happens. And during the final years of high school, you have a final exam that contains EVERY SINGLE LESSON IN THE YEAR. All of them. Both semesters. And you bet that I hated this when I had to go through it.

I kinda hope transferring data between two accounts on two different instances is easy. I don’t really want a fresh start for the 13th time (this happened years ago outside of the fediverse, mostly thanks to forgetting my password).

For parties AND for you (when you want some yourself but you’re the one serving to your guests): cut a + shape and serve what’s left. No one will notice that some of the pizza is missing.
