As they said, if you block an instance and someone from another instance shares from that instance, then you cant see that boost anyway. So the argument has always been moot and self defeating.

Moreover, any "bad content" wouldnt get shared in the first place since our instance is made up of good actors who dont promote content that is contrary to that.

How do rock climbers get such ridiculous strength to size ratios? I'm too big to be able to move my body weight around like this, and when I drop size I'm too weak. Super impressive.

How much will I be paid?

I think one thing that bothers me a lot with anything tech related is that while, yes, a lot of things can definitely have improved UX that is more user friendly, a lot of other things already have great UX that has been polished for years but gets a lot of undeserved criticism simply for being different from the status quo and/or requiring even the smallest amount of learning or effort

and I honestly entirely blame corporations that over the last 20 years have done everything to create walled gardens with the promise of "we do everything for you, if you have to think while using a computer that means it's bad"
and it's terrifying how well that worked on so so so many people

sometimes things just require you to sit down for half an hour, read something, learn something, try something you're not used to. that's normal. that is simply how anything even remotely advanced has worked for the thousands of years. you don't pick up an electric drill and throw a tantrum because it doesn't work exactly like a screwdriver. computers are a tool that let you do things, and just like any other tool, may require putting at least the smallest amount of effort into learning something

it's honestly frustrating how normalized "nuh uh i got adopted by [corporation's walled garden] and this is where i live for the rest of my life. anything even slightly different is just bad. why would I ever consider anything else, that's effort and effort is bad" has become

I understand that habits can be very strong, and I get it, adjusting to new things takes time, but it's not the end of the world. "more complex" doesn't necessarily mean "worse", it just means you would need to learn and adjust. teaching math at school doesn't stop at pre-algebra, it goes all the way to trigonometry and calculus because there's a good reason for it to be more complicated than the basics. learn something new, it's good for you.

Jumping bristletail or in this case the species Trigoniophthalmus alternatus, is a wingless insect of the family Machilidae. It is found throughout the northern Holarctic (excluding China) and undergoes virtually no metamorphosis during its life cycle. Insemination of females takes place indirectly. Males spin silken stalks on which they place droplets of sperm for females to pick up. :ablobcouple:

The resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is a small bird found in Central America. Males grow ostentatious tail feathers during mating season, that can reach up to one meter in length. Quetzal birds were considered sacred by the Aztecs and Incas, serving as a template for gods like Quetzalcoatl.
Or in short: They are very pretty to look at :ablobhype:

I posted a video of one of my bricks streaming a low quality video of Doom a while back, but it turns out I never showed one doing it for real here.
