It actually has to meet all the criteria. Mozilla is going HARDCORE

Phew, got worried about seeing a politician named Donald

That’s a great way to have LP follow you the entire time

Damn, this photo is weirdly unsettling to me

Definitely unless it’s needed for your profession. Plumbers, electricians, gardeners, contractors, etc are the only people who need to drive trucks. David Chaddington doesn’t need his F 150 to go between school and home

Wait, are hot water dish washers not a thing outside the US?

No idea, but half the posts on everything past page 6 are in German and Dutch, so I’m not surprised

I also see a lot of French posts despite them not making the top 10

So about 25,000 peoples minimum drinking water per day per bouy. Not too bad there.

Or the overall average water usage of ~13.2 people (went with the first number cause I ain’t researching things rn)

Google and killing products

Microsoft and a bizarre amount of backwards compatibility

Phew! I was worried there for a second! Good to know I’ll continue to face no consequences!

The US isn’t on the hook for it’s own war crimes, terrorism, or assassinations, so that wouldn’t matter

I mean, yes. It’s not like these corporate assholes are left wing. They’re capitalist liberals at best

Lol, you’re good

This is a Beehaw post, not Hexbear. Heaxbear is filled with sorry ass tankies

Agreed. I don’t have 90s Internet memories like a lot of here, but I do have some early 2000a Internet memories, which I honestly think was better than the 90s Internet cause we’d worked out a lot of the kinks.

Forums were a great place to chat with people about whatever and in 99% of cases, people were polite enough. People talked about this and that. I and others shared their discoveries in video games on sites like GameFAQs (rest in peace, I put up so many Mario Kart DD tips).

People treated interactive sites like they were neighborhoods. Sure, a ton of drama would pop up, same as any neighborhood, and sometimes that drama made modernTwitter drama seem tame, but it stayed within the community the majority of the time and it either got resolved or ended up killing the site. Either way people got over it and moved on.

Nowadays, just keeping up with memes and drama is a full time job. Just 5 years ago I could stay on top of things, now it feels like what’s funny changes the second I see it, and I’m not even old (I was just on the Internet at way too young). Hell, rage comics and impact memes were a think for over a decade.

Lemmy has so far felt like a nice middle ground between the old days of things lasting more than five minutes and people not just immediately being dicks (as long as you block everything LG and Hexbear) plus modern comforts in technology.

If they’d just allow other browsers, I’d love to get an iPad for creative work and to watch movies and shows in bed. My laptop does the job right now, but it gets too hot on my lap

Seriously, just let us make our own “channels”. I want to shuffle through different shows for my background audio, not just 1.

Whichever streaming service gets that and some decent content will have my full attention

“bigger empire” ≠ better nation. It just means you can bully smaller nations easier

BWAHAHAHAHA great joke!

And of course it was the French. Those two can’t go a week without pissing each other off
