I member when the local timeline wasn't mostly pedos

@1iceloops123 @ArdanianRight @mystik Can we all agree to hate people that use Fedi to vent but post about things they like on other platforms

@1iceloops123 @mystik Hate or don't hate whoever you want, that's your call. The whole point of this side of the internet is saying what you actually think. Some people will like it and some won't, that's how it goes.

npc memes aren't funny anymore because you used them to assert your opinions (they were never funny)

I need to find a girl that hasn't taken the vaccine asap before the news about fertility issues and heart complications goes mainstream and they start lying about not having taken it

Imagine being GoFundMe and thinking about how to talk to the Canadian government about why you allowed Canadians to give money to a Canadian fundraising for a legal Canadian protest. Is this just what's going to happen any time a government is unhappy with a protest? They're going to make to testify in their courts and they're going to try to sue you or something?

gamedev as a solo is hard enough let alone a solo with poor mental health.
it's a massive handicap tbh

@xianc78 The thing about opposition to cancel culture is that its detractors miss a simple point, every society will inherently have some form of censorship.

There are always blasphemy laws in any culture, even a libertine culture, where it is blasphemy to say, “That is immoral”, or “Maybe you should have self-control,” or, “Do you really need another cookie?”. All those who oppose cancellations from the current 'Woke' culture fall into the trap of believing that neutrality could exist in a nation. That is, we thought a society based on a secular public sphere, allowing a freely expressed marketplace of ideas was possible. But this was always a lie, and this is why such a society didn’t last very long.

The thing about cancel culture is that we all have done things or have opinions that are cancel worthy.

>Meta pivoting to video
This felt so obvious. There was never a realistic possibility Meta would come to market as shown during their announcement. Everything they ever showed implied they were making Second Life, again. They already did that and nothing has fundamentally changed since then.

Even John Carmack openly called out the project since the very beginning.

>Carmack then called the metaverse "a honeypot trap for architecture astronauts," explaining that architecture astronauts is his "chidingly pejorative term for a class of programmers or designers who only want to talk about things from the highest level."

Sony Ericsson W995, released in 2009 - so far the most interesting looking old mobile phone for me. It could be very well been the very last flagship model of its kind.

Highlights from its very own Wikipedia page:
- Form factor: Candybar Slide
- FM Radio
- 8.1 Megapixel Camera with Autofocus, LED flash, x16 digital zoom, Geotagging, Face detection, Smile Shutter and the Best Picture Feature
- Shake Control (Image Stabiliser)
- Walkman Player 4.0
- 3.5mm audio jack (exceptional for phones in 2022)
- BBC iPlayer and YouTube Compatible (!)

As I was looking for a relative for a simpler, easier and sturdier phone, I quickly realized that... older mobile phones are exactly that? Did technology in that sector really regress, in a way?

Now I spent two hours just looking at semi-recent videos of such, also because I became invested in it - the nostalgia really hit hard.

I didn't have a mobile phone until very late in my life, when smartphones long since established themselves as the standard, so the early mobile phone crazy went by mostly unnoticed by me - but I remember them still a bit fondly, since I was exposed to them in Asian media like South Korean movies, but also in animes.

And when I finally got my first mobile phone, a cheap smartphone, it was, like it always is for me, more out of curiosity for the technology than to connect with others.

And now, so many years later, it repeats in a way: Yet again I am curious, but my curiosity takes me back, for a technology I didn't care for when it was actually relevant.


Since I am a Sony fan, or at least a fan of Sony of old, I quickly pivoted to the Sony Ericsson line and found some really interesting looking models attached below.

But it's a shame older mobile phones simply won't work in a lot of first world countries anymore, because of the shutdown of the 2G networks.

If you have any fond memories regarding this topic, please feel free to share them!
