The NSA love all of this smart home stuff I am sure. Between it and the smart phone there is 100% surveillance.

Every tech company currently is moving towards being a shitty Douyin/TikTok clone. How innovative.

That one was good. I also liked the one that counted how many times someone has said the n word, but I do not think the n word is allowed here (which is better).

Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free! You are a pirate!

Reddit was never a great place for piracy because of central corporate ownership, the fediverse is much more free.

Thank you, this makes sense. I checked what was used previously with it and it is called “gear oil” which I think is the same.

Jiangnan Alto from 1990s with five gear transmission will use motor oil instead of special fluid, yes? Is transmission fluid is for an automatic one and not a regular one?

I really like the first game. Talking the master out of their plan is incredible and the game world is so interesting to discover. I learned a lot of new English words from it, and because the characters talk with slow text on the screen it is easy to follow compared with speech.

It will be interesting to see how quickly the whole fediverse gets blocked by strict countries now…

This will be nearly impossible. Popular instances can be blocked but someone can simply create a new small one each time. It is eternal cat and mouse. Censorship by the country where it is hosted however will be effective for that instance but no other.

😱

English contractions are very hard and I have been trying to be better at them. For other users like me who struggle with English, text generators like the ChatGPT can help a lot if you ask them to correct for you and they will give you tips. Be careful if it is online one like ChatGPT though, it isn’t private!

Defederation should be a last resort when an instance is always making problems outside of itself or have illegal content. Otherwise it is better for the network to remain connected and not partitioned and for blocks and moderation to deal with problems. Respectful community members should be allowed to participate respectfully all over the network regardless of their views as long as they behave.

I just want a place where the content and community are not just bait to pull us in and show us ads, and I have it here.

Yes the first and only time I opened Voat there was a cartoon image of a jewish stereotype rubbing his hands together upvoted on the front page.

More attention means more open source developers, biggest effect in QA, so hopefully soon.

We can and will run it for ourselves. USENET for the modern day!

They just want to sell ads. Corporate profit moment.

Unfortunately a lot of reddit stuff requires enough community to work. We should all talk to people we know and encourage moving wherever we can.

Oh hey the layout is standard! I love the Famicom, but the keyboard being different from all other Japanese keyboard is very annoying.

And keep him in the same prison conditions.

I just hope people do not spam it to farm karma like on reddit.
