I went to a couple social dances hosted by a local ballroom dance club. I like pretending I’m someone else, someone cool, since I don’t know anyone there.

This made me laugh. I’m sorry for your loss.

It would be great if it could become a virtually universal social media eventually, but for its quirks to be understood by everyone, some critical mass of first adopters must understand the fediverse. So I think the fediverse will self-select for technically knowledgeable people at first before eventually becoming accessible to the public, not by any fault of its own but by virtue of having been around long enough and grown enough of a community to attract the average person from traditional social media.

I also think there are different instances and communities for people with different priorities. People interested in the ideas behind the fediverse can congregate on lemmy.ml (because that’s where Lemmy’s developers are, right?) and in FLOSS communities, etc., while people looking for a social network that won’t use them for profit can flock to region-specific instances, etc.

Does it pull data in like Mint did, or do you have to put it in manually? That’s the most important thing to me.

Yeah, this would be great.

Is it the one on the Google Play Store by Dapper App Developer? I couldn’t find anything on F-Droid :(

What alternatives are there? Just the big .org, .com, .net ones?

Now I’m imagining a coming-of-age magical realism movie starring a child who discovers that a mysterious ancient phone, the last heirloom of their deceased grandparent, can only be unlocked by their fingerprint at their particular age.

It wouldn’t be pulling up the ladder behind them if we force them to step down that ladder and burn it by retraining their models from scratch “with databases that don’t infringe on intellectual property rights”.

Yeah, I’ve deleted it now in favor of AntennaPod, but I’ve also stopped listening to podcasts (no particular reason), so I haven’t actually used AntennaPod much.

The Bright Sessions is a podcast, not a show, but it was super interesting, told from a fictional therapist’s point of view. The therapist helps people with superhuman abilities/curses (and depression, anxiety, etc.) learn how to manage their atypical lives. There’s more drama and time travel too but I forgot.

I listened on Google Podcasts.

I love the implication that, if they ate the chips, then they are not alive to be at work.

I find it funny that you’re so literate in English but not so conscientious in math/stats matters. Are you top 0.1% or top 0.01% of English speakers? :P

(Only joking! This isn’t intended to insult you at all)

I didn’t know anyone would say that with a straight face. It’s so funny to me to just imagine some grown-up playground-bully type call another grown man a “man whore”.

A fascinating demonstration.

Wow, what’s your history? I got top 0.12% from being a pedantic kid studying SAT vocabulary since middle school (and from being a native English speaker who also learned Spanish and French to intermediate high school American standards).

It does definitely depend on good management, especially now with “community features” that you really need a good admin team to make best use of.

I like being able to filter for messages associated with particular users, messages with particular attachments or embeds, and messages before/after specific dates. I like that and you can’t get that as easily anywhere else that I can think of off the top of my head (not Google, anyway).

I’m listening to “Hell” and I must admit I am not only impressed but also deeply afraid. I will never listen to this again. Thanks for sharing!

That’s a certified bop. I’m saving it to my playlists now.

Do you remember how you found the song? And do you have any clue what it means?
