i expected nothing and have still been let down

why is every other post beans tonight

Traditional captchas have been easier for computers than humans for a while. I imagine these “pick all matching” captchas aren’t far behind.

And the communities in the list aren’t clickable. Pretty low hanging fruit for reducing friction. (Like, the platform should automatically link them, not that OP should have.)

The United States Air Force has brought down the Elven balloon

And Macron blames video games. Crikey, this shit again?

Seriously. You can’t make an omelette without splitting a few atoms, at least for now. Especially since at the moment it’s fairly straightforward to look at our carbon emissions and figure out that if we don’t switch to nuclear our ecology won’t last long enough for disposal of nuclear waste to be the thing that kills us.

Yo I loved EGM back in the N64 era and I’m pretty sure that was Ziff Davis. Then again maybe I was lobotomized with a magazine.

Yup. I’m from kbin.

uncivilized but fair

The hell? That wasn’t 2015, that was just like a year or two ago.

…Right?

Well, they moved it through 3500 meters of water in the process of retrieving it. That’s gonna be the equivalent of a full wash cycle, albeit in seawater.

i’ve tried and failed to get into futurama for decades. it doesn’t work for me but I’m really happy for y’all.

Ahh, this is helpful. I looked at my kbin settings page and there isn’t an option to hide magazines, so I thought the feature might not exist. Thanks!

Classic Japan. I’d say “don’t ever change”, but, er.

Alright so I have a question and can’t figure out a better place to post it than this comment thread.

Kbin is neat and I’ve enjoyed it a reasonable amount for the past week or so. But 80% of my feed is either news and discussion about how bad Reddit is (I know, guys!), memes about about Reddit, and depressing climate change articles that make me panic about things I can’t change. How do I filter stuff like this out of my feed on Fediverse communities?

Thanks.

Most people do not have the knowledge, financial security, and attention span to self host anything for five years. Even fewer have all three, and if you self-host, holes in the internet still appear when you die.

Imgur sucks, but self-hosting is not a good solution to the problem.

this is fantastic. i think it might be the best Russian Civil War joke I’ve seen.

Link taxes are a terrible idea and go directly against what makes the entire fucking Internet work. I’m as fond of seeing Meta getting owned as the next guy, but this is wrong.
