Just the last two panels are stronger IMO

Also, speaking as someone who’s entered his 50th year, shitposting in alternative venues is not really a sign of maturity.

I thought that was a reference to Bowie’s “Five Years”, pardon me

Cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest and a queer threw up at the sight of that

Just stop giving a fuck, there’s a metric shitton of crazies doing janny work, it’s unpaid and very unsatisfying. If they ban you, it’s either their instance’s loss or nobody’s. The account costs nothing because it’s worth next to nothing. I don’t even need the links that I myself post and the others’ I can see even if they ban my account. This is a shitpile, it being in the fediverse doesn’t make it less of a shitpile.

This one.

Also, it worked markedly shittier on an unemulated speccy. This was the same year that saw the arcadey pinnacle of Jetpac and this glitchy creepy grindfest that challenges only patience and tolerance to noise gets itself a golden joystick for originality because of using lolrandom toy sprites.

Edit: I’m actually still mad 39 years later they made me fiddle with a screwdriver to load that shit

Since 1985. it’s the same answer, this shit on the zx spectrum. Can’t believe it got published.

Edit: won “Best Original Game” at the Computer and Video Games 1983 Golden Joystick Awards, fuck me sideways

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of books on narcissism and have been picking up on the idea/notion/possibility/viewpoint that narcissism is a spectrum like autism is. In autism, which itself is incredibly common due to the fact that it’s multiple genes/processes/whatever performing multiple parts of a spectrum (think a carpet representing humanity and a shattered cup on the carpet, I use the shards in this visual to represent pieces of the spectrum scattered across humanity, apologies if anyone thinks a shattered cup seems like a negative comparison, I don’t), you have the majority of humanity having some variance in it, which goes to demonstrate there’s no such thing as a neurotypical. As in, if a scouter was invented that instead of scanning your power level scanned your autism level, everyone would have their very own signature number. I would be over 9000. Same with narcissism, if this view is correct, as it would be another shattered glass on the carpet that is humanity, with the shards from both glasses overlapping in their territories (which when you think about it makes the family dynamics in The Good Doctor all the more awkward, it’s one spectrum at odds with another in a show where the main character is a medical savant with autism). And again, not trying to make an awkward comparison, I have friends who openly confess to me they’re deep on the narcissism spectrum, and these people at least are trying their best in life, as well as showing narcissism is a neutral condition that just happens to seem more negative in modern urban situations

This is a pseudopsychological word salad, but please accept my apology if you’re 14 or chatgpt prompted for redditisms, if that’s the case good job.

Touch sum fucken grass dude

It’s already public, it’s just lemmy users who don’t see them.

I know that and you can keep the others. Take also the new chrome version of ublock origin for manifest v3

The web does without ublock origin.

I know, and the last time I saw it it was just complete buggy shit with a different UI and nowhere near feature parity.

• Firefox with ublock and a normal engine

• Newpipe for downloading stuff off YT

• OSMand for offline navigation

• f-droid for foss software

• Rethink to carefully ban everything that doesn’t need internet from connecting

• a phone with a nice amoled screen and all-day quickcharging battery that costs 180€ (motorola g52)

• not one ad anywhere

a better question is, why would I want anything else? An iphone seems like a sharp downgrade.

We have your last example in Croatia, usually told as: “they who don’t have it in the head, have it in the legs”

I hate fucking gboard. I use it, but I hate it. It ballooned from 13MB to more than a hundred now, but I was still using it, with Rethink to block its internet access, but new versions started lagging if they can’t connect. So I had to revert to the version that came with my phone, it’s small and at least works even if it’s cut off from the internet. Fuck you Google for enshittifying a core part of the OS.

There’s too many, but I won’t lie if I take any few lines from L. Cohen’s “The Future”:

"Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future: It is murder"

I thought I liked it and that it had enough users, thank you for setting me straight.

a viable alternative

It’s already a viable alternative. I can tell because I’m only here and not there anymore and lack nothing

we need to convince more Redditors to switch over by mentioning Lemmy in the right threads

This is just the worst idea. First off, it would require me to have a reddit account, which I nuked. Second, it’d require me to go to reddit and there’s no more ingress points that won’t rape my eyes. And finally, I’m not using my time and energy proselytizing just to accelerate another tragedy of the commons.
