One thing that annoys me about #FOSS is that "the best software" is rarely the best for you.

There are some great #FOSS solutions for social apps but barely anybody uses them, so it gets hard to push for IRL friends to use them.

Ladybird promises to be different from the other browsers, and I would be excited for it... but putting their development process on Discord makes me ask: will it really be?

GitHub I can reluctantly forgive, Discord and Twitter much less so.

If your cooking site isn't printer friendly, then it is not worth using.

@SuperSnekFriend @greentext It really is. I've seen Discord servers with barely any activity these days when I look for where people talk about a topic, the chrultrabook Discord (as an example) migrated the fuck off Discord to forums. It doesn't help that there's a growing backlash against Discord communities being the hub of discussion due to being unsearchable or unarchivable without a special tool (and people get sketched if you do this).

There's literally only one Discord community I know stuck on it that I actively use as well (for an obscure Japanese computer), and it's only because the server unfortunately has years of information and community activity buried in it. Outside the English community, the larger Japanese one prefers Twitter and some BBS threads.

Outside the USA, many people prefer Telegram groups for things as well.

I wish instead of making Earthbound-inspired RPGs, indies would make RPGs similar to the original Phantasy Star games.

Does anyone have any experience with a pizza stone (take note that I said "stone", not "stove")? Apparently, they allow you to make restaurant-quality pizzas using an ordinary stove or grill.

@graf I am working on implementing user invitation system so users are given invitations they can hand out and it keeps track of who invited whom.

I'm using a TUI client to browse this network again. I find it less distracting and it allows me to look at quality posts in the endless sea of anime lewds.

Brazil getting the (FPGA recreation of a) Sega Neptune... well, that's two things that weren't on my bingo card for this year.
