What does garble mean in this context? What would be accomplished by removing your email after registration?

With the most expertise in this thread, may I ask your take on matrix vs irc horribleness?

Can someone link me to this info? I already wiki searched turtles and didn’t find it. Websearch is stuck on turtle graphics

Took the words out me mouth perfectly

when the memes start really only talking to you in particular…

How long was it down? I thought I was an idiot and setup on another instance lol

Both sides having valid points is almost always the case with issues of any complexity. I’m very curious to know why there isn’t a sweeping trump card that ultimately deems one side as significantly more ethical than the other

Great analysis tho–very thankful for the excellent breakdown unless you used ai to do it or if that ai is ultimately not justifying the means adequately. No actually I’m thankful regardless but I’m still internally conflicted by the unknown

radiation exists in like everything to some small degree tho right?

Humbly requesting an explanation for the polarized takes on this. How are we so specifically split 50/50 rejoicing for the utility and cursing the ‘slop’ at the same? Someone sway me to a side? I’m addicted to reserving judgement

why do we do this? Is it an american thing?

You have now anti-sold me and hyper-enlightened me with some very worthwhile wisdom. I can not say thank you enough–I truly need more like you in my life

You are selling me mr. Fudge. I still need to do a lotta research but you are def sellin me here

It certainly feels like it is judging by the general moodshifts occuring. But I’m a moron, what alternative exists for a secure phone of comparable functionality? It feels like ditching phones is the only option to some extent(for me). If stupid, isn’t the phone the most vulnerable weakpoint open to attack?

as a panicked graphene enjoyer, does oneplus measure up as a decent alternative or no?

You must be ignoring the Motorola bloat that makes it’s performance beyond subpar somehow

Sad to hear, and thank you for the time we had. I don’t want to be dismissive, but can anyone explain how to select an instance with best chances at longevity? Are there other instances with a more structured or longterm roadmap?

Maybe it’s Maybelline?

well I’d read the documentation if websearch wasn’t so shoddy that I could find it in the first place /s

These are the comments that do me in. Time to repolish the resume and my most practical projects. I can’t believe I’m getting serious about this again, but I do believe in my drive, determination, and earnest passion to be the change I want to see in the software world. I know it’s pointless, and I will almost certainly fail quite miserably, but I also know I have to go down swinging or my soul will rot from the regrets. I just have to fail better–I have to do it despite the pointlessness.

Could certainly be argued as a choice ultimately. I didn’t quite finish my BS in CS, I’m entering my 30s with a wife that depends on me not leaving my decent and steady warehouse mgmt job atm. I’ve tried a couple of times–last time I was building a great portfolio maintaining a hobbyist arch distro, but I just never got past the interview stages. My network is too small, and the job market seems to be a dumpster fire with no upturn in sight.

I know these are excuses and ultimately it is a choice that I shouldn’t give up on my dreams the way I am, but I wanted to answer your question as honestly as possible for some reason. As far as impact, it’s basically been a lifelong dream of mine to just make software that helps improve the quality of life of as many sentient beings as I possibly can. I know it’s immature and overly idealist, but I can’t shake it
