If the Play Store becomes required like that then Android’s already-shaky status as an open source base platform is going to go out the window. I’m glad there are non-Google distros of Android but there really needs to be more of a push to make a completely FOSS phone platform.

It was especially poignant for me because so much of the boy-girl bodyswap stuff was very trans coded.

I’ve never heard it to mean that

Oh by Threadiverse I’m referring to Lemmy/Mbin and their co-conspirators.

I’m trying to say that that movie got popular online years ago and is still associated strongly with internet piracy culture!

You’ve been on the internet for a while, yeah?

Your Name / 君の名は
I use it for language learning, watching things repeatedly is very useful for picking up on new words and grammar!

I think Frieren is especially beautiful, like just look at this shot

Fedi’s daily active users actually went up for the last two months after hitting a low of just under 1,000,000. That’s a lot of people, and on a platform that likely has the ability to carry on like a cockroach in a nuclear winter.

What exactly happened for the name to be changed from Kbin to Mbin? I missed that plot point.

server costs were not the biggest reason, it was down to salary costs

Transition

The tech savvy will just buy a Raspberry Pi and install yunohost on it.

I do think a split keyboard design would serve a slate like this a bit better though.

I’d been looking into building something like this out of a Raspberry Pi, very cool that this is open source.

Anecdotally I’ll say I feel like I used to be in the habit of typing out responses to posts daily when I first started using the internet. It feels like that was slowly trained out of me as the content and the responses got worse and worse (especially with the advent of LLMs). Trying to change that on Lemmy.

It is nice to sort Lemmy’s posts by new comments sometimes. Turns everything into a much more forum-like experience.

Here’s what women really want:

I dunno man, if you are a girl wouldn’t you want a dude that, yeah, he’s attractive but also that looks manly? That can physically protect you? And that does not has a doll face?..

I personally prefer cute boys, and I know a lot of other women feel the same. Boys that sometimes wear a little foundation and look really nicely put together are just not something that American pop acts ever do! Luckily at least some of the men in my country are realizing it’s nice to look cute sometimes.

I don’t remember 9/11
