Resol van Lemmy

I thought racism disappeared in the US

Oh wait, Trump is in power, right.

Now that I think about it, me neither.

And only one day before its 24th anniversary too. Was this timing intentional?

Am I the only one who has never heard of this man until the news of his assassination broke? Only then did I decide to dig deeper to know more.

Most tend to censor the exact moment of the shot. The ones that didn’t were posted on YouTube, but I suspect they were deleted.

Sad.

In my country, which is Morocco, the organ of love isn’t the heart, it’s the liver.

My mom sometimes calls me “lkbida diali” which just translates to “my liver”.

Lemmino. Wait, a Swedish YouTuber already uses that name.

I don’t listen to podcasts that much, but I am a big fan of the Lingthusiasm podcast. I was actually introduced to it by none other than Tom Scott (although he doesn’t really host it himself).

Canada is already a state… a SOVEREIGN state.

To me, they’re a lot like supporting a YouTube creator you like on a funding website like Ko-Fi (or that other one that starts with a P), you don’t pay to watch their content, you pay because you enjoy their content and want them to get better at it, and you get some freebies in return that never feel necessary for those who can’t afford or don’t want to spend money on them.

It’s also why on Bandcamp, you can choose to pay more than the asking price for a song/album if you really feel like it. You never need to, but you can because you care about the artist’s work.

FOSS can really benefit a lot from voluntary donations, especially since making software (especially good software) and maintaining it costs money. This is especially the case for a website that relies on maintaining servers and instances.

I know the BBC has made a Mastodon instance as a test some time ago. If only other broadcasters did something like that.

What a shame. It’s almost like the biggest companies make the worst crap or something.

That too is pretty accurate.

I miss when it was a luxury. Pretty fun times if you ask me.

The Jerboa Lemmy client, and Mastodon’s official client. I think they’re both fine enough for my fediverse browsing needs.

While I am trying to use the internet less since the past 2 years or so, I will freak out if it ceases to exist completely.

“Be yourself.” is an excellent summary of your post description.

Fun fact: I deleted Twitter exactly 23 days before it was renamed to X. I was just tired of scrolling through drama.

“Dammit, my tape is stuck inside the VCR again!”

“99 cents for a song? Hell yeah. I’m never buying CDs again.” (A reference to the iTunes Music Store launch)

“I ran out of free AOL time. Better get another demo disc”

Speaking of AOL, “yo, what’s your AIM screenname?” (Replace “AIM” with your favorite messaging service at the time if you used that)

“Mom, can I have a PlayStation 2? -No. -But it plays DVDs.”

“Oh, I can’t wait to see the wonderful New York Twin Towers, I’m so excited for what’s coming!” (I was too young to even remember the concept of different countries existing so I had no idea what “America” even was, let alone being confused about 9/11)

“I got slimed. It was so. Much. Fun.”

“I’m so glad the United Kingdom won Eurovision, I can’t wait to see how the next year’s contest will turn out. Katrina was so amazing” (1997 was the last time the UK won)

“What a wonderful Saturday morning. Time to watch some cartoons.”

“My phone has a NiCd battery, and it’s almost out of juice so I can’t just plug it in because I will ruin the battery. I have to wait until it literally turns off.”

“Belgrade is the capital of Yugoslavia”

“Finally got my fresh new copy of Mac OS X. Time to see what’s it’s like.” proceeds to stay on OS 9 for a few more years

That’s all I can think of.
