I do like a good meatball sub
This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!
This is awesome. Looks like a painting

This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon
Honestly I think this is probably one of the many secrets to long-term happiness. Ignorance is bliss, as they say
I remember being 13-15 and not caring at all what the news was. Better times, I think
Not to worry, this feeling never goes away
The bubbles help with that extra clean feel
These are all the same picture
I use a hybrid. If I’m typing with both hands, and I need to be speedy I’ll typically use regular typing, but if I’m just causally typing stuff out or only have one hand I’ll use swipe. I like having the option
This is especially relevant for things like lightbulbs, cell phones, cars, etc, which are constructed in such a way that they will only last a certain amount of time, because the other alternative would be a product that never failed, and therefore only needed to be purchased once. True technological advancement would be the perfection of technology, but capitalism would never allow that because it wouldn’t be profitable in the long term
Is it really so surprising? They have the entire Instagram userbase to feed off of. All the Instagram users have to do is open Threads and they are already a user. The userbase was already there, Meta just had to activate it.
I think for this same reason Threads probably will stick around. Especially with the way Twitter is going. Can’t say I’ll be joining in on the fun though
Does the fediverse need to consume all of the traffic that’s currently directed at other platforms? I think the best thing about the Fediverse is that it provides more options for online social spaces.
If I don’t like Twitter I can try something else. If I don’t like Reddit I can go elsewhere. It doesn’t have to be the exact same thing as those services, as long as it provides me an enjoyable way to consume information in my free time.
I don’t feel like the goal is to absorb all of the traffic from every other site though? Or if it is that seems misguided.
I’m very much enjoying my time on Kbin, even if it is janky and new and imperfect. All of that is actually kind of refreshing
I was hoping that because Kbin does support mastodon posts it might work. I’d love to see that integration
The vibe when you’re a 30 year old software developer and still could never afford a house in this economy…
