Excellent! So immersive!

Where’s the dedicated DRADIS monitor?

Oh no, not Lucas!

Haha no it’s a Run the Jewels lyric.

I’ve got a Vonnegut punch for your Atlas Shrugged.

Plus, it’s a model made before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.

What if some moistened bing lobbed a scimitar at me?

I think it was an issue where the CSAM was being copied to servers via normal federation with the instance(s) being spammed.

Yes! I remember when they first introduced it and I had to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating that the cursor was blowing up.

You must mean plane-et.

Y’all know this is photoshopped right? The actual truck probably has half the number of light bars. Totally reasonable.

Metallica.

Edit It’s more like a Zeppelin - Black Sabbath - Metallica gradient.

Katamari Damacy is the first one.

Oh man that’s… Well done, well done!

Points for “sassy robot.” But you could have described it worse. This was the first one I could identify.

And I only subscribed because the one-time purchase was not available at that moment, so I assumed no such option existed. But honestly, I’ll continue to pay the subscription. It’s still less than a year’s worth of my monthly donations to the developer of Tasker.

Ain’t that the truth. People act like charging for software is evil no matter what. There’s a huge difference between a lone dev trying to earn a living and a huge corporation trying to wring every last ounce of profit out of their users. And there’s probably degrees of nuance between those.

Especially if they seem like a reasonable person, wanting reasonable amounts for good work.

And that’s the important context in this discussion. You’ve got a dev who’s active in the community and who builds an app not only with great features and UI but with stability too. And he has a not insignificant user base that is familiar not just with his work but essentially with this exact app… It’s reasonable for him to assume we’ll see the value and be willing to pay. And he is correct.

I’m personally averse to subscription models, but again context matters. Reasonable rate and you know what you’re getting. And I say this as a huge fan of both FOSS and socialism. I could have easily just let my DNS continue to filter out the ads, but I appreciate quality and believe it should be appropriately compensated.

I was raised Catholic, but I’ve been an atheist for—oh fuck I’m old—more than half my life. But… Monastic life seems pretty dope. Why can’t there be a secular order that’s just devoted to knowledge/contemplation for its own sake (or the betterment of humanity). I know it kind of sounds like I’m describing a university, but I mean with the personal discipline, strong communal bond, and simple lifestyle.

I hope they meet a very angry porcupine.

What a fantastic insult!

I am Lucy Liu. Give me your spines.
