They are completely inappropriate and dangerous on all roads.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS SPECIES?!

Capitalism.

I’d love a VR/AR headset to (mostly) replace my desktop monitors tbh. Love the idea of being able to have a 2 or 3 monitor setup without having to manage all those physical screens. Nothing is really “there” yet for me, especially for the price.

Other than that? I can’t think of much, besides gaming.

Y-Tube might’ve earned them a few cease-and-desists from Google

Nah.

Can we stop crowning random socially-stunted weirdos with enormous earth shattering powers, please?

Well, that’s a little unfortunate, then. Here’s to hoping it does eventually get there 🤞 I’m just happy to see the decentralized, non-profit internet grow.

From the Wikipedia page on the project, there’s a quote from this Twitter thread from 2019, where he says he’s potentially interested in adding native support. Hopefully that comes at some point, I’d be happy to try it out if it does.

By defragging the zebra, duh

Well, it’s certainly better than Instagram… Who knows, maybe Cara could federate with ActivityPub in the future… Not that I’ll keep my hopes up for that.

Yes, but probably only about as much as every other garbage social media trashsite like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

It’s about how the Greeks were super gay. Lots’a gay sex. Hell, the word “Lesbian” is derived from the Greek island of Lesbos.

Illness, death, and antisocial behavior. All of these were threats we evolved to handle, people who are “a little bit off” in one way or another, who might endanger the group or individual. This, and that our pattern seeking brains don’t like it when something doesn’t easily fit within an existing schema, even more so if it lies just outside of our existing preconceptions.

Obviously, I can’t say that these definitely are the reasons why we experience the uncanny valley, but I think it’s probably a better explanation than… Skin walkers? Or whatever else the meme would be implying.

Still, it’s a cool premise for a horror story at least.

Tragically, not.

I know this defies the law of gravity, but I never studied law.

A nice first step. Here’s hoping they make a Mastodon account next.

Evidently, yes.

It depends. I’ve known some people who use it to say they’re the crazy type or Republican too, but I’ve also heard it used by more moderate Republicans and conservatives, who don’t want to associate with Trump and the other authoritarians in the right-wing of the party. I’ve also seen it used by non-aligned voters, who don’t have another label for themselve, so just default to “libertarian”, because they’ve heard it before.

It’s like trying to make a person learn how to play the flute by just handing them a flute. If they don’t know how to assemble it, clean it, hold it, press the keys, and proper embouchure, they’re never going to learn how to play the instrument.
