I was trying to think of what the impactful differences between IRC and Matrix are (it’s been a while).

“While being as open as IRC, Matrix provides a user experience which is similar to Slack or Discord to some extent. It’s modern, it’s persistent, and […] it’s actually less confusing to newcomers than an extremely simple application like Jargonaut.”

Persistancy! It’s funny how that completely slipped my mind. The expectation from a chat room app has changed a lot since I last regularly used IRC and I guess I forgot what it used to be like.

The US is starting to sound made up

Yes, but the more I live and hear things about the states it starts to sound like satire or as if it’s a joke to see what other people will believe.

If only that were true for everyone.

I’d love to invite you up north but we need to get some housing first.

But this has begun sounding like made up details, like someone heard how we feel and they decided to play into those concerns to see how much we’d believe before calling them out.

Besides lemmy, what's another good reddit alternative?

Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I’m curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there’s no hate-speech (that I’m aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let’s hear your suggestions! Thank you!

can ,

It’s like Mastadon (but better) and very popular in Japan. Firefish is fork of it.

can ,

Together with Firefish developer Namekuji, Panos Damelos have started the Catodon project, a fork of Firefish. In the announcement blog post Catodon dives deeper into what makes the project stand out, noting the community driven aspect of the project. Catodon joins IceShrimp and Sharkey as recent Misskey fork projects that are all gaining popularity as small-scale fediverse servers.

What a world.

We’ll find out in a year when someone does an information request.

    Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons

    Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I’m struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I’m looking for paw patrol and it’s scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this...

    Don’t British people say in hospital or something?

    can , (edited )

    We have that here too. I found what I was referring to:

    In British English, the word hospital can appear as a noncount noun, without the article a or the before it, in certain phrases:

    (British English):He’s in hospital.= (American English):He’s in a hospital or He’s in the hospital.

    I want to add Canadian English goes with the latter too.

    A quotation circulates on the Internet, attributed to me, but it wasn’t written by me.

    Here’s the text that is circulating. Most of it was copied from statements I have made, but the part italicized here is not from me. It makes points that are mistaken or confused.

    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

    Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

    The main error is that Linux is not strictly speaking part of the GNU system—whose kernel is GNU Hurd. The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.

    We don’t use the term “corelibs,” and I am not sure what that would mean, but GNU is much more than the specific packages we developed for it. I set out in 1983 to develop an operating system, calling it GNU, and that job required developing whichever important packages we could not find elsewhere.

    How do you know if a book you pirated is complete/original/full etc ?

    I downloaded a certain epub from Anna’s archive but as i have never read it before and i don’t know if it is a bad/incomplete copy or the real thing . I don’t think I’m allowed to say which book it is but do feel free to correct me and i’ll edit it in . So how do you solve this issue ? Like if it was a movie or tv...

    can ,

    That reminds me, many years ago I was reading Stephen King’s It from an epub I found online and when I reached that scene I stopped reading and went online just to make sure I wasn’t reading some long con prank someone edited in.

    can ,

    It doesn’t really spoil much of the plot tbh and it’s still a great book but going from memory:

    the sceneWhy is this so hard to put into words. Have you seen the movies or even the trailer? You know how It flashes between when they were young and later when they return back to the town? This scene is late in the book and takes place when they’re young. The boys in the group all take turns having (consensual) sex with the girl

    the rationale?it represents them maturing into adults or the bond or something that makes them no longer vulnerable to It? Like I said it’s been a while but on much later I remember it frequently being referenced as a gangbang and someone would always correct sharing it’s a train 🤷‍♂️

    I swear it’s otherwise a fantastic book.

    While privately acknowledging conflict is good for business, the defense industry and its financiers publicly claim they are simply doing America’s bidding. As Lockheed Martin CEO James Taiclet once said, “It’s only up to us to step to what we’ve been asked to do and we’re just trying to do that in a more effective way, and that’s our role.” After all, it was the U.S. government — not Lockheed Martin — that came to Israel’s defense and intercepted the majority of Iran’s missiles.

    But this “we just do what we’re told” defense doesn’t quite work given that defense contractors are actively shaping U.S. foreign policy through lobbying and campaign contributions, among other tactics. Aaron Acosta, program director at Investor Advocates for Social Justice, told Responsible Statecraft that defense contractors “are often the ones creating demand by lobbying the U.S. government and pushing for sales of these weapons.”

    Of course they are.

    Would you teach your kids how to pirate?

    My gf and I have had discussions about teaching morals to kids. In that vein, I asked myself, would I teach piracy to my kids? Yes, it’s technically illegal and carries inherent risks. But so does teenage sex carry the risks of teenage pregnancy, and so we have an obligation to children to teach them how to practice safe sex....

    I will teach anyone who will listen.

    What point are you trying to make?

    When / why / how did "I hope you are well" become a standard email intro?

    Practically every email I’ve received in maybe the past year has started with “I hope you are well”. I even had an LLM draft a placeholder email for me and it started with the same thing. This has not always been the case and it’s strange to me that everyone I interact with begins their emails with this line. Frankly,...
