The company name is so interesting to me, there is probably some justification/origin that makes sense for it. But Malus is just so close to Malice…and thats just so appropriate, in an evil billionaire sort of way.

In the context of this communities, you are already here, just Google “fediverse replacement for xxx”. You won’t find a fediverse version of Amazon or any data storage service, those don’t really make sense for fediration. You’ll want to talk to other communities. Or search them. This has been talked about a lot.

The pitfalls of beta, glad you got it sorted. 🙂

What instance? I just had success with piefed.world

Win XP has a 64bit edition, it was just never the default.

Ok, well now it really needs to be. By comparison at least. Would be more on-brand than a can of Vegemite. Petition to update!

They need to make it actively harder then because most devs with a site seem to just link direct to the release page. IMO, if that’s the thought process then either make it intuitive or commit and lock it down to contributors or something.

Fake in that it’s almost assuredly written and posted by someone who is actively anti-vibe coding and this is a troll on the true believers.

Always a nice change of pace seeing terrible politicians from outside the US. Terrible for our outlook as a species, but a nice change of scenery none the less.

Ok, per usual the actual story is slightly less ludicrous. I’m reading this as they are going to make “songs” by taking real sounds but mixing and arranging them into rhythms, the same way they do in some movies as part of an in-world lead up to a song and dance number. So it will blend in but you may notice if you look for it and it will probably impact your subconscious and mood. Which seems to be the main goal.

Looks like you already know what to do with that Nutella. My only alternative suggestion would be to low heat toaster oven or microwave them to give the leftovers more of crunchy breadstick consistency.

Seems to be a kind of online conference. For being open source focused it’s opening is very salesy/buzzword salad-ish.

"Open protocols, not closed platforms. The Fediverse, Mastodon and ActivityPub. ATmosphere, Bluesky and AtProto. Human connections, not AI bots, nor fake news nor manipulative algorithms. New funding models. New forms of governance. Better trust and safety. Direct relationships to stakeholders and customers. Interoperability across social platforms everywhere, and so much more.

After a decade of stagnation, next-generation social media is breaking out of the closed silos and connecting the world into a global, open social web. It’s a wild world full of opportunity.

FediForum brings together the leading thinkers and doers who build this new Open Social Web."

Correct, it is mobile only. Unfortunately, I think I must be misunderstanding what you’re saying about the OP stuff. This is my view, the way I think about it at least, these are all “OPs”, ones with a plus sign next to the leftward arrow have comments.

And then if I tap, I get the op with its comments underneath it.

Try Fedilab, I think it will be more intuitive for you, unless I’m misunderstanding your frustration.

If you end up not liking WP, Drupal is another option. https://new.drupal.org/home. // https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub

I miss Apprentice.

I think you’re on track, this comic just wants you to have a light chuckle at the idea of a rabid butterfly.

The name is real though, an alias of the Bhutanitis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutanitis_lidderdalii

Anyone who tries to say Lower Decks wasn’t respectful of the heart of Trek, just was not paying attention at all.

Your life may be different, but my experience is you get a credit card and then use it like it’s debit. Don’t get tempted, always pay off 100% etc. This builds easy credit. Also occasionally accepting those 0% for 3-6 month loans for furniture and the like but then pay it all off in the first month or two. This allows you to play the game and get the points they want you to have without falling into the traps.

Back in the day, deep down you knew what you were really getting. I’m a little annoyed these days when indie games use marketing visuals that look like they could be in-game for a modern title and then it’s all pixel art style. I get that you don’t make a pixel art poster, but in that case, go all-in on an art cover don’t let it be mistaken for game graphics.
