AVincentInSpace,

Every couple of years I think to myself “You know, I can’t actually remember why I don’t like Ubuntu. It must have just been some weird one-off thing that soured me on it last time. Besides, I’ve got N more years of Linux experience under my belt, so I know how to avoid sticky situations with apt, and they’ve had N more years to make their OS more user friendly! I pride myself on not holding grudges, and if this distro still gets recommended to newbies, how bad can it possibly be, especially for someone with my level of expertise?”

And then I download Ubuntu.

And then I remember.

AVincentInSpace,

Honestly I just pick whichever option looks cooler. Most games that ask me to pick play in third person, and if I’m gonna have to stare at this thing the rest of the campaign it might as well be something I think looks cool

AVincentInSpace,

Hi! What’s your favorite videogame?

Do you have any subject you’re super interested in and could talk about for 2 hours with no prep?

What are your thoughts on the Fediverse? What are your hobbies?

(Answer as many or as few of those as you want but pls pick at least one :3)

AVincentInSpace,

Wait, did a big-name project that said they were going to implement ActivityPub actually implement ActivityPub?

Part of me wants to say props to them. Part of me can’t help but wonder if it’s part of a 90s-era Microsoft embrace-extend-extingush strategy.

AVincentInSpace,

Google pulled this off with XMPP by having their Google Groups bridge be horribly maintained, feature incomplete, and randomly go down for days at a time. Most of the people on XMPP were on Google Groups so to them it just looked like the few people who actually hosted their own XMPP servers randomly went offline. It got to the point where people who used XMPP would have to create an account on Google Groups in order to reliably be able to talk to their friends. Google Groups users eventually came to the conclusion that it was XMPP that was unreliable.

AVincentInSpace,

When I say to my sister “I will literally buy the house for you, help you move in, and give you my phone number you can call any time you need any help with it” and she comes back with “I’d rather sit here and complain about my landlord” I think I have a right to get angry

AVincentInSpace,

okay but you still don’t get to act like i’m saying “just buy a house!”

AVincentInSpace,

all I’m hearing is that you got kind of a shit pc

AVincentInSpace,

Exactly! Like, have you considered letting people enjoy things, especially when it comes to gender expression?
