Water is wet.

Genuine question: Is it directly linked to cancer to a serious degree or in the same way that everything is technically linked to cancer?

Illegitimately? If this isn’t a typo, I wanna know more information. Lol.

(Fyi, this comment was meant in a light-hearted way. We all make typos here and there and I’m not trying to make fun of you.)

Thank you for your words. <3

Serious question: I live in a small farming town of only a few thousand people. Mostly white people unfortunately. I keep nontraditional waking hours. I work second shift. I don’t have money to really do anything serious.

Is there anything I can do, beyond spreading the word (which I am already doing), to help?

And if anyone is wondering how this is legal (yes, it is 100% legal), I hereby direct them to the US Constitution, 13th Amendment, Section 1,

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

In other words, slavery or involuntary servitude is fair game if you’ve been convicted of a crime.

Which is very fucked-up in my opinion. “Land of the Free”, my ass…

You have my condolences, friend!

The date at the top of the article disagrees.

No notice or even a single mention of how it’s over 10 years old in the post body. Duh.

50% of content in the fediverse is old reposts.

There is a wide chasm between 6-month-old reposts and nearly 15-years-old reposts.

In any case, OP was wondering why people disliked how old it was despite its relevance and I answered the question. You don’t have to like the answer. I have no interest in continuing this conversation. Good day.

This will never be passed because most of the people benefitting from Flock are the ones who vote on the bill.

Like most social rules, it is an unspoken one, so obviously not explicitly written down.

That being said, this particular piece of etiquette harkens all the way back to the classic web rule of “no necroing”, which is still a common unspoken rule in one form or another in many parts of the Web.

If you want to reference an old webpage, that’s fine, but in that case it’s best to not post it like it’s a new webpage, which is what this does.

No notice or even a single mention of how it’s over 10 years old.

You don’t like the unspoken rule, that’s fine. But don’t whine about it or act shocked when people complain.

False binary.

In any case, like I said, you can disagree with the etiquette if you wish, but that is the ettiquette. So one shouldn’t be surprised when people disapprove of one breaking it.

It’s not that it’s less relevant, only that it’s not generally considered good form in terms of web etiquette.

You can disagree if you wish (you are entitled to that right), but that is how it currently is usually.

From a sociopolitical perspective, I very much hate red states, and I hate many of the people living in red states, but I don’t hate everyone in red states. There are many, many good people who are unfortunately trapped in those states through no fault of their own.

I say this as someone who is trapped in a red area in a purple state.

Definitely now when it comes to many islands.

If you’re like me and are wondering what the hell a “DRM format modifier” is, well, from the article:

DRM format modifiers provide details on tiling, compression, and other attributes for image buffers. Depending upon the layout it can also help with better performance and other more versatile use-cases. DRM format modifiers support can allow Vulkan-powered Wayland compositors, compositors running on the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan layer, interoperability between different graphics APIs, and more.

Cheers. <3

I love cars.

I love car enthusiast culture.

Doesn’t mean I like car-centric civil engineering systems.

Yeah, totally possible. I don’t know who the hell those two people are.

Oh 100%. I was just being a lighthearted goober about it. Lol.

<whisper>No one tell them about international airports…</whisper>

Exactly. Not everyone sees everything the first time it’s posted.
