Haha sometimes you just need to rip off the bandaid

It can be both, FOSS is just more precise. And just like that, I’ve used up all of my semantic pedanticism for the day

They’re being diluted though! It was so much worse last year

But not the same

Let me check my email

YoU mEAn YouR gMaiL.COm??

They can fork it, if nobody wants to work with them anymore that’s their problem

Well thank yoouu for recognizing an excellent example of promoting polite discussion

I was disappointed to not find the 19th century classic continuous sideburns+mustache combo:

USA, I’ve always known number 19 as the goatee. I grew up around goats though, so I just sorta assumed it was named after the tuft of hair that goats often have under their chin.

it doesn’t matter which one you choose

That’s not really true though, every instance has it’s own rules, and it’s own federation policies, not to mention the other instances that don’t federate with it.

I’m already on lemmy, so it’s not like I haven’t gone through this before, yet I still haven’t made a pixelfed account despite being interested because I don’t want to just go for the biggest instance and I have no idea how to vet the other ones.

Gandhi also preferred violence over sitting on your hands

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. Violence is any day preferable to impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent.

I don’t think anyone expects them all to switch. It’s literally just advertising, and it’ll probably convince at least a few people to switch.

The migration was rough on lemmy? There were some growing pains for sure, but personally I was actually surprised how well the major instances handled the massive influx.

I thought it was a tooth

Most of my immediate family just does sms group chats. I don’t keep up with the extended family, seeing them every other holiday is enough

I mean it kinda has. It wasn’t an insta-kill but users have dropped dramatically and it’s still dropping

Even when it doesn’t repeat itself, after repeated listens I find satisfaction just in knowing the weird places that the music goes. A lot of my favorite songs took a few listens to “click”.

Don’t get me wrong I love bread too

This shower thought is pretty much the basis of Archimedes principle. The upwards force of buoyancy is equal and opposite to the weight of the displaced fluid. Just imagine an empty bathtub floating in the lake. Now imagine the tub in the bathroom filled to the same level that the lake tub was submerged. The force keeping the lake tub floating and the force of the weight of the bathroom tub (including the weight of the tub) are the same.

Huh, I just went looking for stock images to show this and til that apparently historical accounts say that the principle was discovered in the bathtub.

Eternally grateful
