An article exploiting Trump’s image to gather traffic while telling us media doesn’t grasp Trump’s manipulation of the media…got it.

Barenaked ladies

This was my entry into Linux, and love it so far. My Windows 7 computer has generally been so snappy. Even without an SSD and only 4G in RAM it starts faster than my Windows 11, 32GB, i7 laptop.

Never has a short selling opportunity been so good…

To appeal, I think he has to pay a $65 Million bond, and this is certain to be reiterated. The jury did an excellent job at not being overly punishing. He’s screwed in so many ways. He better don’t ever mention her name again in his life.

You still can vote for him…you just have to write his name. Same for Trump in Colorado. Problem is, many of the voters probably don’t know how to write correctly.

Imagine if you could summon a football match two weeks later for the fouls/ penalties the other team committed and the referees missed…that’d be fun.

This dude paraded Russian troops during Mexico’s Independence Day. I take what he says with a grain of salt.

Forget about P20 to P1: Pn to Pn-1.

Those Ferraris look awesome! Perfectly tuned to the circuit.

This is a big one. There were some contributions from either instances or bots on my feed I didn’t like that I just blocked, and my feed is fine now. No need to ask for defederation of the whole community when you can do it yourself.

It’s been a week in Kbin for me. I don’t care about that site (Reddit) anymore. I’ve been back twice, and it’s teenage humor at best. I had been there just 3 years, and it felt like I had seen it all. Re-post after re-post.

I’ve left Twitter already. I didn’t leave Facebook or WhatsApp completely because I still have family members posting there, but go there maybe once or twice a month. Reddit, where no one in my immediate network goes, or knows whom I am can go even faster. It was staring to feel like a circle yerk, just like Twitter.

While those communities that are re-opening with those shitposts, ultimately are still benefiting Reddit; there’s one thing they’re accomplishing: They’re driving true content creators to move away from Reddit. And long term, that will give places like Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon a critical mass of attractive content that can tip the balance.

As long as there’s traffic, Reddit profits. And the more infuriating or stupid/funny your content is, the more Reddit profits. Karma farming had already killed the community feeling there. Those who have stayed are more vested in their popularity points, than on a real community. And yes, Reddit and Twitter will survive for those that seek to be popular…but that’s not for many of us anymore.

I think the Fediverse is really where the future lies ahead, and it’s great to see it growing.
