JackbyDev,

I think they mean doom scrolling as in algorithmic dopamine loops

JackbyDev,

This is why us millennials keep our phone boxes

JackbyDev,

You should put them all on a keyring!

I remember some video. It was a joke about IT remoting in to fix a computer. The icons on the desktop were shaped like a dick. Then it guy took a screenshot and was like I’m definitely sending this to HR as he sorted them alphabetically. Then the other dude was like “no put it back, infant find anything!” And the line that sticks with me, the IT guy says “there’s no sort by dick”.

Thanks! I added the link!

JackbyDev,

Where else do you put it? :(

Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form' (tech.slashdot.org)

Proton Mail, the leading privacy-focused email service, is making its first foray into blockchain technology with Key Transparency, which will allow users to verify email addresses. From a report: In an interview with Fortune, CEO and founder Andy Yen made clear that although the new feature uses blockchain, the key technology...

JackbyDev,

How many people have verified how many people’s identity with PGP signatures? Also I’m willing to bet a horribly shocking amount of people would just accept a new key from someone (not necessarily sign it) and trust them regardless.

JackbyDev,

To be clear, I’m not saying this solution is better or worse than PGP, I just don’t believe PGP works well for creating a web of trust.

JackbyDev,

For discussions probably. Not for repos.

JackbyDev,

Yeah, I think you need to go out of your way to try to use ftps. When people say ftp they generally mean SFTP.

JackbyDev,

Do you hear yourself? You sound like those people who say “blockchain” solves every problem. If you don’t like a community then “federation” is not some magical solution to it.

JackbyDev,

I know you agreed with me so don’t take it as arguing, but I don’t get this logic. If someone made “books” there’s nothing stopping people from making “readingbooks” with the exact same rules and content guidelines. The problem doesn’t go away.

JackbyDev,

The hell are you talking about, you are I are from different instances both talking to each other on a third instance lol.

JackbyDev,

A concert I went to recently started at 7 PM with the headliner immediately taking the stage and ended at 9 PM. Best show ever.

JackbyDev,

Are you locking your knees? That can make people light headed and pass out. Idk. I’m sure you’ve thought of it but I’d hate for the solution to be that simple and you not know. I guess the question is does it happen if you’re walking for a long time or just standing still?

JackbyDev,

People go to a concert to listen to music. You can do that sitting or standing. Don’t shit in people’s preferences.

JackbyDev,

So, thankfully I only lost taste for like a week or so when I got it in 2022, but the sinus thing? Yeah. That was the worst part. Everything else was minor in comparison. It felt like someone hooked an air compressor to my head.

JackbyDev,

I’m not advocating for doomerism, sorry if that was unclear! I agree with you on that! Doomerism is awful as well, and like you said, much worse than optimism! All I’m saying is that it’s dangerous to believe things will work out without your involvement. I think it can be like a bystander effect on a global scale, you know?

JackbyDev, (edited )

I agree with you on that but believing everything will magically work out is rejecting reality to me. Clearly had things happen. Just because they get fixed doesn’t mean they’re weren’t still bad. Wars and genocides kill so many people. Just because the “good guys” might win eventually doesn’t mean nothing bad happened. It doesn’t mean we should just relax about shit.

JackbyDev,

I think my top comment in this chain was pretty clear. I’m saying that the belief that everything will work itself out leads to personal inaction. I believe it leads to complacency and that leads to more bad things happening.

JackbyDev,

I disagree that you should believe everything will be fixed given enough time. I don’t believe doomerism is the correct response either, but I fear that believing things will just work out makes it easy to ignore problems.

JackbyDev,

This is my favorite character introduction in television. Everything before this moment you think he’s some eccentric asshole and going to just chew out the staff.

JackbyDev,

This is hilarious. It really cut me deep. I don’t think I’ve seen Harold used in the Drake format like this either. The look of dejected shame is priceless.
