@Maryam it's child abuse for children born after 2010 to not be completely totally native/fluent in english tbh

@wowaname you could implement this in sed

@mia binary search and hope (hope is not a strategy) is not seekable, duh

does anyone know of a pixelfed client for any mobile OS that works and does not crash?

for reference the most expensive apple phone right now (1tb iphone 13 pro max unlocked) is $1600

@punkscience @amiko on the most popular phone in the world, it also has to route all notifications through the developer's servers or you don't get notifications on mobile. this defeats the point of federated systems and you might as well just use signal (which doesn't break in these simple ways)

the signal client is now panhandling. sweet.

@surfingalot thinking of having a property-secured loan (mortgage) as "being in debt", thinking that having money sitting in home equity is a good idea (when interest rates are so low, and inflation/index funds are so high), etc.

spacex just launched a turkish communications satellite into geostationary orbit yesterday from florida. this means the operators had to send the satellite to florida first to be launched; do non-US governments usually send minders/guards with their satellites to monitor them 24/7 from delivery to launch so NSA/CIA can't add firmware goodies?

@lanodan @sfr this entire thread is super cringe. is that pronounced the same as "simp"?

this continues to slay me
