Congratulations, you’ve sufficiently annoyed me enough to log in to my local instances to type this out.

There is no ”one” way to speak and write English — we don’t have an “”“official”“” institute of our language like Spanish or French does (and even if we did, they would not have a monopoly on English). We don’t speak in Received Pronunciation or keep the superfluous ‘u’ next to every ‘o.’
Like every language, English has multiple dialects with their own vocabulary, and even some with their own specific grammar. The sentence in the OP was likely written in one of them - African-American Vernacular English. This dialect codifies double negatives, the habitual be, and words like ‘finna.’ Many of its aspects are already integrated into ‘standard’ American English.

This is part of the process of language in general. Many of the rules in ‘proper form’ come from shorthand, slang, and and crude versions of other languages and forms. Being aware of the rules shifting and changing as people shift and change how they speak will probably get you further than turning your nose up at rules you don’t recognize.

Props for MacWorld’s editors for digging out the OG Blue Pixel for this device shot†

A fitting name for a beautiful outcome.

I wish them bountiful data transfers without Telco trashiness.

I’m…mixed on situations like these

Like yeah, it’s very annoying having to manually refresh for more content, but at the same time I do appreciate having more time to fully explore my timeline instead of coming back from a post to see they completely discarded my reading place, losing whatever is was looking at, likely forever.

Of course, for quieter networks you may run into the problem of content refreshing too little…

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

ActivityPub is more of a social network protocol rather than a messaging protocol. It assumes most data sent through it will get public by default and has very little encryption set up for it, let along E2EE. Now Matrix is a better use case for an open protocol like that and also offers bridges between other chat networks (I wouldn’t be surprised if Beeper has Matrix under the hood).

Yeah, the dust is still settling (in the middle of a rebrand/namespace migration). I like it as it feels like Mastodon++ and it last links with Lemmy/Kbin.

Choosing beggar pirate that’s also your mom? Oh brother, I do not envy you

That’s genius honestly. The void should win this year

Yeah the whole Samsung moon shots (possibly r/Android’s biggest moment as a subreddit) really kinda laid out, paired with the anxiety around AI, that our phone cameras…are not really capturing what we see anymore, or what was even there anymore. There’s levels to it of course, but it is unsettling that we’re going to be in this space of not even trusting any image for a long, long time.

I am no longer apathetic but livid

Fuck u/spez.

I wish there was a way to have responsible news sponsorship without having this annoying ass article limit system or web 3.0 crypto nonsense.

(I nearly flinched when writing that last sentence because I still have PTSD from Twitter summoning the Hordes if you so much as mention that c-word.)

It really sucks that we’re facing the digital equivalent of climate change with regards to the internet and the content economy on top of the decline of the actual economy and actual climate change. It’s all so much.

TIL reddit has RSS feeds. Welp, I’ll see if I can use it to plug in my favorites until they cut it for ‘profit-seeking measures’ and ‘loosing 200 billion dollars a year’

Fuck, I really hope this doesn’t turn the tides for other Red Hat projects.

Not even my Linux distros can escape the enshittiness. WTF man.
