there are some things in life you don’t skimp on, it’s either all or nothing.

your toilet paper, your mattress, the power supply for your computer, and any medical device you require to live on a daily basis, for instance.

i will go into debt for my glasses if i have to, because if i’m stuck with them every moment i’m awake, i cannot survive if it’s a miserable experience the whole time.

RIP Thurston Waffles

he was too good and pure for our hideous broken world.

gotta go for those extremely high refractive index exotic polymer composite lenses

my glasses get hella fuckin thick when they need to be made of regular glass too >_>;;;

Yet another case in point of how shitty mastodon’s name is. Even its abbreviations are trash. The best time to change its name was before it started. The second best time is NOW. And the longer they go without fixing this, the worse it will be. As long as mastodon never rebrands, it is doomed to fall behind scummy oligarch controlled trash like threads.

Critical mass of users on social media platforms.

Back on Usenet decades ago they called it the “Eternal September”.

It used to be that every September, fresh University students would gain access to Usenet for the first time, and there would be a rough adjustment period where they don’t yet know the ropes, the lingo, the etiquette, the unspoken rules, and the expectant decorum, etc. Then one year, home internet service providers made Usenet accessible to ANYONE who subscribed… And from that day forward, it was like September every day, all year round.

Now the general riffraff are flocking to bsky because even THEY see that Twitter is sinking. This surge of new users have brought all their bad habits with them. Bsky must adapt or it too will fall.
