Fresno? More like Fresyes!

I don’t fly the Cascadia flag for nothing. Cascadia now!

That green line is labeled “independent,” but I can tell you for a fact there’s no 45% of Americans voting independent. I’m guessing a more accurate label for that line would be “doesn’t vote.”

Incorrect. 5.25” floppies are peak tactile. Giving them a little wooble before inserting into the A: drive was the best feeling in computing.

It’s an old riddle that only works with imperial units. In traditional British (i.e. completely insane) fashion, the imperial weights and measures had two pounds in it, and you had to choose the right pound for the right thing you were weighing. The troy pound was used to measure metals and only has 12 ounces, whereas the pound used to measure feathers had 16, so a pound of feathers was 4 ounces heavier than a pound of steel or gold or whatever.

Pretending they’re well travelled by bragging about how many states they’ve visited.

A lot of foss projects don’t make sense as a torrent download. For instance, most of my foss projects are libraries that people who write websites use to compile and bundle the JavaScript they ship for their website. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to distribute this via torrent, since torrents don’t have a lot of the features you would want, like checking for new versions of the software. Because the majority of foss projects wouldn’t make sense to distribute via torrent, the developers on projects that would make sense to distribute via torrent are more likely to vend it via methods that there is more infrastructure for (like a package manager), or is easier to set up and maintain (like direct downloads). I think if you were interested in changing this part of foss culture, your best bet would be to create and publish a GitHub action that would package and upload a distributable to a torrent provider.

Bookwyrm, pixelfed and mastodon. I just signed up for loops but haven’t really tried it yet. I also have a funkwhale but honestly haven’t touched it in years.

FOSS has a reputation for poor UX, and not for nothing either. Users who value slick, easy experiences tend to drift towards corporate software for basically all software solutions because corporate solutions can use money and the corporate hierarchical chain-of-command to respond to user requests faster than open-source self-organizing governance systems.

Russians use the dative case to indicate age along with the word summers, instead of the words “years” (I suspect you could hypothetically form a plural from the word for year, год, but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered it — лет, literally summers, is presented to language learners as the correct plural for year) and the present tense of the verb “to be” is elided most contexts, so most literally you would render it in English “to me fifteen summers”.

I’m pretty sure I agree with this take? I do think it’s your civic duty to be familiar with every major story that passes through the 24 hour news cycle. The lie the news media tells is that the best way to do that is to check headlines every 6.8 seconds, when in reality reading a few articles (although you do have to click through and read the whole story) from a reputable source every 1-3 days will leave you much better informed than someone who looks at headline’s constantly.

Probably the best place to look is the v1 milestone for the project on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/milestone/24

I didn’t really look very carefully so sorry if it’s all inscrutable technobabble.

Ghost is likely what you’re looking for, a strong blogging platform with good activitypub integration.

По-моему, можно в любой, но редко найдется понимающий

It’s just one star past Kolob. Can’t miss it.

Oh boy, anybody remember clojurescript? That was a time.

Have you considered following a sport? Following local sports teams has always been an effective way to strike up a conversation for me. For one, it’s easy to identify who to talk to, since they wear apparel that identifies them as a fan of a team they follow, and also it’s really easy to know what they’re likely interested in talking about, since there are lots of resources (podcasts, broadcasts, blogs, etc) that direct the conversation. It’s super easy — I sat down on the bus yesterday across the aisle from someone in a Sounder’s hat and we talked the new Rothrock and Frei deals. I’ve never seen that dude before in my life and probably never will again, but finding common ground and something inoffensive to chat about was super easy because we follow the same team.

Oh, I guess ha ha you really owned me by pretending to care about sports so you can clown on me about etymology or whatever. I’m just super upset that I got to talk about my favorite sport in the context of its entrance into the English language and its place in 19th century British class structure on the internet.
