periodic reminder that while we love that you feel cozy on poast, you should make yourself an instance and federate with us. having your own instance isnt necessary but if you have a group of people it's often better because you can have a tight knit community, custom emojis and whatever else.

i will always help those who ask for it when it comes to setting up instances or otherwise maintaining them. there's a large group of admins that can help, too. it's cost effective (and you can even host free if you choose oracle's free tier option)

if you are considering bringing your group to fedi, consider making your own and contacting poast or following our relay to populate your federated timeline. it will save you time, effort and you will be in control if your community forever

if you aren't tech savvy, fediverse.express is available and pasture and I can help you with this, too

thankful all of you are with us either way, love you guys

People often tell me that IRC is a decentralized protocol.
Technically they're correct.
However, look at how many OSS, FOSS, and FLOSS projects choose to rely on Libera.Chat (and before that they all relied on Freenode), and reconsider the whole "decentralized" part.
They could have just set up their own IRC server instead, it's not that hard!

If you want to know why nobody trusts shit, remember that in the 90s TV guys were saying the new Diesel engines were better for the environment and saved you more with taxes. Also Acid Rain is mentioned, the big environment scare before the global warming firmware update dropped.

How many ways are needed to prove these shots are poison?

@djsumdog @Codythedragonrude @josh I saw Linus say that he banned his nephew from thanksgiving dinner because he was unvaccinated. That's super fucked.

Twitter launched 16 years ago today

Millennials remember a time in the mid aughts where social media was a fun place you could gather with friends and share funny messages and music with one another. Now it's a horrible addiction you can't help but engage in for hours a day where you see horrific things that chip away at your mental health and deal with deranged reprobates that threaten your life and job over petty greivances.

Here's to another 16 years! 🥂

Seems like Monero is going up again, while Bitcoin remains at the same place, again.
But I'm no longer using non-Monero alts as a way to raise money, I'm settled with only Monero as a currency, so the value in fiat doesn't really matter to me, but still a nice way of seeing that more people are demanding privacy over reputation.

CEOs who publicly disparage their customers are fucking idiots.

Unity had a ton of good will with the game development community. Their CEO just set it all on fire.
