I think “malls” in the traditional sense of giant concrete behemoths with nothing but row after row of stored and fast food were killed by online, but if you open up the definition a bit, some are thriving.

Like where I live, it’s an ‘archology’. A mix of residential units on top and commercial on the bottom. All outdoors which is a draw for folks in the forever pandemic world.

Yeah, I feel like this is one of those memes that just travevls like lightning because it’s attractive to people.

IPv6 WAS crazy bad for a very long time, so I can kind of understand it at least, but wake up and smell the 128 bit addressing people, ipv6 is a SUPER useful tool when you need it :)

Please stop doing web dev, it isn’t real.

So, let me guess. Web dev isn’t “real” but Linux kernel dev is VERY real?

I mean, I don’t take issue with what SEEMS like your base case: Capitalism is crap and money is a silly game we all play, but what I’m reading / understanding from your statement is that the millions of people sending E-mail, writing documents, and managing spreasheets using web based applications aren’t doing “real” work as well?

Not arguing, just desperately struggling to understand where you’re coming from and what you’re trying to say in concrete terms.

I keep hearing this, and I KNOW it’s true at the enterprise level, but I’ve been running my home LAN IPv6 native for the last - 6+ years? Ever since I learned Comcat would vend it to you from their stock router.

Works great. No problems. Didn’t used to be that way, but these days most (more?) of the stack bugs have been shaken out.

Just here to say thank goodness for the EFF. I support them, and if you live a cushy life like I do and have the money, you should too.

I looked at their site and thought: What a #!@$ stupid idea.

The whole thing stinks of Twitter brain. “Follow topics, not people”? So what you’re saying is that the null brains on Twitter are far too focused on whenever one of the Kardassians farts to focus on anything real?

Puhh-lease. The Fediverse isn’t about that all.

Hard pass.

I don’t love this question.

I spent a huge chunk of my life putting so much focus into being “nice” that some friends sremovedd about me being “a doormat”.

Also? The word “nice” has so many soft negative connotations in 2024.

Subtext: if you’re “nice” you’re fundamentally un-interesting Subtext: if you’re “nice” you’re a push over and ripe to be taken advantage of.

GOOD person? MORAL person? OK.

Nice? Asking anyone to attribute this to themselves is a foot gun.

I would spend more time doing charity work and contributing to open source.

I already volunteer for a reproductive justice charity, and I would LOVE to devote more time to making the Linux desktop more accessible for visually impaired folks like me.

I won’t moralize because that never stopped anyone from doing anything, ever :)

What I will say is, with the vastness of the internet available to me, I would not personally choose to sift through the reams of malice and hate to find the useful grains that no doubt exist, buried.

Plenty of other permissive fora where even somewhat radical ideas can be expressed but without the embrace of genocide, Neo-Nazism and rape.

Convos - self hosted web based client written in Perl of all things, because it’s small, simple, does exactly what I want and no more, and avoids my having to faff with client + bouncer which was getting old 10 years ago and feels positively withering now.
