This product is not for you, individual consumer. This is for corporations who don’t want the overhead of managing individual PCs and everything that can go wrong with them, instead relying on virtual workspaces and roaming user profiles.

Soldiers knocking down doors to arrest millions of illegal aliens and everyone who looks like an illegal alien and shoving them into camps, what could go wrong?

but going much slower for no reason could get you pulled over

I feel like this is something everyone says but how often does this actually happen? Not often I’d guess, unless the police officer is bored, or it’s at an hour where they’re out looking for drunk drivers anyway

Mastodon has a pseudo-algorithm (sort of, unless there’s a better name) in the Search/Explore -> Posts view, which shows you posts that are trending on your instance. I wonder if Lemmy can come up with something similar based on your instance activity

Because how else would we feel superior?

Given the crossover of people displaying “thin blue line” flags with those showing “thin red line” flags (which is stupid, who is against the fire department??), and with their success in harassing corporations into dropping DEI initiatives, I wouldn’t put it past right-wing crazies to try bullying their fire departments into ignoring incidents for their progressive neighbors

I love how his last name is pronounced “to share a” and he did, in abundance

I think it’s easy to understand Mastodon, or any federated service, using a metaphor for a country or large place, where you can say “I want to move to X country” but then you have to actually pick a place IN that country to live, like a specific city or rural district. Once you decide on your instance, it’s really not that hard

Sorry to go all doom and gloom, but I have this sinking feeling that despite their best efforts, progressive US states will be unable to prevent LGBT people from being rounded up after the Holocaust machine is done with the illegal immigrants. The window is closing

I’m definitely not going to read the whole thing (good grief that sucker is long)

Expand your horizons. Sometimes reading long things is worth it

Things seem to have improved in the last 5 years, so maybe give it another shot. I’m on Fedora 40 with gnome and lots of extensions, and I’m constantly tinkering with it to make it look just right (for fun, not that I feel like I have to). Nothing catastrophic has happened yet!🤞

I love how people will complain about ads on YouTube and then go on to complain that PeerTube sucks because “who’s going to pay the hosting fees?” 🙄 For the record I like PeerTube but Android clients are ass right now

Amazing

Maybe that was true in the past but not anymore https://www.cbsnews.com/news/surfers-killed-mexico-what-we-know-jake-callum-robinson-jack-carter-rhoad/ Mexico is a failed state

Not sure where burgers come in. Might have been someone making a joke

So much nuance, wow

'Tis a shame your image left out the OG

English culture around “image” is sooo toxic, exemplified by this and the Lucy Letby case. Rather let babies die and cover it up than admit you’re not perfect

Megalodon is a good client, forked from a recent version of the official Mastodon app for Android (which is a fine client in itself). Megalodon also supports some extra features that some instances opt for via a forked backend, but it’s fully compatible with all instances. Here’s are some good place to find instances https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/list https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon

Do you know if there’s a Lemmy version?
