I think you may be responding to the wrong comment

Well, most laptops have removable WiFi cards, ~~but if you want to go the extra mile you could try an early-2000s or late-90s ThinkPad (from back when they were made by IBM).~~

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me

I tried to use it, but I couldn't get it working (I couldn't receive any messages, and neither could my brother). In the end, I opted for Matrix instead.

I [18NB] am starting uni in Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow. Since I'll be living a good distance away from home, I was thinking of buying some pride merch and stuff.

However, it has crossed my mind that safety could be an issue. I wouldn't have thought that Edinburgh would have issues, but I think it's best to ask Lemmy: On the whole, is Edinburgh a safe place to be myself?

"Know" is a stretch. Plants respond to attack by releasing chemicals (e.g. nettles and grasses), curling or retracting their leaves (e.g. acacia), or by changing their morphology (e.g. holly); but they have no nervous system - let alone a brain - so it's not like you're killing an animal.

That's Bluesky. It's supposed to be a federated social media, but right now there's only one kind of software for it and you can't yet self-host it (although you can self-host your data). The open-source protocol, known as AT, was created by Twitter back in the day, and Jack Dorsey and a bunch of staff were able to rescue it when Musk took over.

AT does not federate with ActivityPub, but users of either protocol can appear on the other using Bridgy; and some Friendica instances have basic support for AT. The equivalent of "fediverse" is "ATmosphere" (with the first two letters capitalised).

Since it became public (as opposed to invite-only), Dorsey left the platform and went back to Nostr (yet another microblogging platform, this time built around blockchain :-P).

It's actually quite a nice place, in my opinion, with a vibe similar to a combination of Twitter and Tumblr.

Sorry for going into this much detail. I just really like explaining things.

EDIT: Turns out, the word being thrown around in place of "tweet" was also slang for cum. I have removed it, as this was probably originally a joke.

It's the second time I've seen this tweet in 24h, and I still can't believe this isn't meant to be ironic.

I'm almost impressed by how dumb this guy is.

Where would The Runaway Bride go? It's set in 2006, but they also travel to shortly before Earth is formed.

Also, what about episodes that are set outside of time or entirely within the TARDIS (e.g. Time Crash)? Or when all of time sort of happens at once (e.g. The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)?

What about false realities (e.g. Amy's Choice, Extremis)? Bubble universes (e.g. The Doctor's Wife, Hide)?

And then there's the matter of the Doctor and River. Do we go in the Doctor's order, or in River's order?

What about cliffhangers and cyclic stories?

Absolutely I'd do this, but I'd need a very large corkboard and about a mile of red yarn to figure out the order.

I swear it's being trained on Tumblr shitposts. These are too ridiculous to be hallucinations.

More AI dumbfuckery

I dunno, man. I'd say they're still cool.
