Millions of years, likely. The whole reason we’re successful is because our pre-human ancestors were empathetic and cooperative enough to build societies.

We see those same traits in many other primates, and they’re not something it makes sense to evolve, lose, and evolve again. Those traits predate us.

Language almost certainly predates us, since we see it not only in other primates, but in non-primate species, too. And based on the humour we see in many animals, you can bet we were making dick jokes nearly out of the gate.

That’s amazing! But fuck it for putting naked Alex Jones in my head. I was hoping to sleep peacefully tonight.

Sorry for the collateral damage.

Didn’t he transfer that to his dad? He’s been very public about illegally subverting parts of his judgement by transferring some ownership to his dad.

I was hoping it would be Knowledge Fight and they’d just subtly transform the content, so as to wean the existing audience into actual facts (e: Dan does a helluvan Alex impression), but the schadenfreude here is very nice.

Lemmy and BlueSky (primarily Lemmy).

BlueSky’s mobile app is such a clone of twitter, transitioning is nearly seamless for the average user. I tried mastodon at first, but it felt pretty rocky and different (and I’m rather techy).

Between BlueSky and Voyager for Lemmy (I was an Apollo user on Reddit), my user experience hasn’t changed at all – except for the pleasant lack of bots and Nazis on both platforms.

Yes, my meme shitpost was 100% a serious proposal for political action.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder! Mine expires next year. Best renew it now before they fuck that up, too.

 
 
 

My cat needed to be euthanised last month, and I just received her ashes. They came with a round black sticker. What’s the purpose of this sticker?

They mentioned my chosen urn was suitable for sprinkling cremains (I don’t plan to do that) – maybe it’s related to that?

Thanks.

Back in Apollo, we had a feature where you could long-press on mobile and save a screenshot with options to include usernames, number and levels of parents, and original post, amongst other things. Those were the ones I used. I also remember there was a checkbox for watermark, which defaulted to on, and which I never touched but always respected, because it never condescended to me.

Anyway, I used that feature so much that there was no Apollo without it before the ensittification.

As a user experience designer, Apollo had done a lot right that the big tech names had been doing wrong, and I’d floundered on Lemmy until the Voyager team started from that foundation.

I appreciate everything this team has done for me, but I do miss this feature. It seemed aimed straight at me, so I almost hate to bring it up, but it was beautiful and I loved it.

(I’m sorry for not saying this on Git, but I just can’t right now)

eta: you guys are the best. I love everything you’ve done. <3

 

Removed works include Saul Bellow’s ‘Herzog’ and ‘Black, White and Jewish’; no individual reasoning given for books' removal.

….

The purge of books from Orange County Public Schools, in Orlando, over the course of the past semester is the latest consequence of a conservative movement across the country — and strongest in Florida — to rid public and school libraries of materials deemed offensive. While the vast majority of such challenged and removed books involve race, gender and sexuality, several Jewish books have previously been caught in the dragnet.

I’ve searched every way I can think of and can’t find anything.

 

Self-explanatory, I think. I miss being able to flag users in Res – I usually used it to mark known trolls or experts in a subject so I could easily see them in threads. I sometimes used it to mark people who were especially witty or the like.

I think it was all client-side, because I had to import/export when changing clients.

It greatly contributed to my overall experience, and I think it would be a very valuable addition to Voyager.

Thank you, you’re awesome! ❤️

I’ve tried several Lemmy apps for iOS, and just switched to Voyager based on a recommendation here.

Oh my god, it’s fantastic!

I was a loyal Apollo user from beta till the enshittification, and your app makes me feel like I’m home again. It’s beautiful, has the features I so loved, and then some.

Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail. I love your icon/logo, too. You’re the best! <3 <3 <3

e: the only thing I don’t see is the Tip Jar. Am I just missing it?
