30s?

They set him on fire when he died, too.

Vaaaa-der roasting on an open fire…

My brain immediately started singing “Where are the plows? There ought to be plows”.

Except that “draw 25” isn’t a metaphor, it’s just using a different meaning of the word “draw”.

Unfortunately, the answer is “It depends”. Although plant-based foods are usually suitable for vegans, it isn’t a regulated term, so you can’t be sure. Also, I think the term “vegan” has negative connotations that “plant-based” doesn’t, so marketers prefer to use that term instead.

Same, but I’m also a vegan, and the organic and/or non-GMO product is often the only one without animal ingredients.

What did Mr Deeds do to you?!

Whatever it was, it was dirt cheap.

The answer is no. No, we are not.

What do you have against blahaj?

Police were more likely to be killed by violence than most other positions (which are almost always accident/negligence related), although somewhat ironically their most likely cause of death in 2021 was covid

Just…WOW. In case anyone was wondering about how fucked the US police are.

Are you a farmer? Because you have an awful lot of straw!

Her issue was all the child rape.

They’re much more powerful than a corporation, though. Can you imagine any ordinary corporation surviving a child molestation scandal like that?

I’m kind of happy as long as big tech is not running it

Wait for it. It’s coming. That’s why Meta is doing this. We’re in the “embrace” phase of “embrace, extend, extinguish”.

I don’t see how to avoid it, unless the courts step in. The only reason why we’re using the World Wide Web instead of the Microsoft Wide Web is because the US sued Microsoft and won.

If meta was to pull the plug on federation it wouldn’t kill ActivityPub, there would still be millions of us here.

It’s not about pulling the plug. It’s about introducing proprietary features that break communication, forcing people off of an independent server and onto Threads.

If most of your IRL friends are on Threads and your experience with them has gotten janky due to Meta fucking with the protocol, it’s going to be very difficult to not switch over to Threads.

Oh, and good luck trying to get your friends to switch over to some indie server they’ve never heard of. If you can do that, then you should run for president.

Both are open protocols for communication over the Internet. Both have been adopted by a large corporate interest.

Now, how are they different?

“The flood of crap” isn’t what people should be worried about. They should be worried about Meta embracing, extending, and extinguishing the Fediverse. There’s a good article about this here. People are worried about the wrong things and don’t realize what’s at stake.

There was an app for MacOS…7? I think. It was called ASCIIPaint, and it allowed you to draw these pictures using a mouse.

That genuinely sucks and helps misinformation spread.

I don’t see how. What I think is that it makes a less toxic environment.
