I feel like Gemini is a good idea but it should be open to simple link-only style media injection.
I think it’s 100% valid to look at embedded media with some side eye, but I think the utility for non-tech users is basically eliminated by not having simple embedded pictures or media.
A protocol that enforced no runtime scripting, but stills allow some media embed would be awesome.
I think it’s a mixed bag. The new show is OK but I would probably read the manga first if you’ve seen the 90s show but haven’t read the manga yet.
This is basically “yet another take on Trigun” so it shares elements of both the old anime and the manga (Trigun + Trigun Maximum) but remixes it.
I think the direction could be better and the music isn’t as good as the original show, but it’s fun if you go in with the right expectations.
They’re also machine translating subs and, guess what, they suck just as hard
Love these but usually play them in the morning and avoid the comments. Will try to share my results more tho I’m usually slow.
But what does chiijohn say?
Let me ask you this way, why use lemmy at all if email forums are perfectly legitimate ways of communication? You could be on a mailing list right now, so why is activitypub even important?
Even 2FA, I mostly don’t use email anymore in favor of other more secure 2FA methods.
School, beats me, bit work is mostly chat based these days imo with slack. Granted, I do have email for invoices, but I was mostly talking about email as a communication tool, not a document management system. I’d be perfectly fine with sending people cloud links to Google drive if they accepted it.
Job uses slack, rocketchat or discord. I have a work email that is so separate from personal email that it basically doesn’t count (because there’s no spam there.) HOA and Bank sends old fashioned mail, and also isn’t critical to me as I have websites for both. Receipts I wouldn’t really consider communication, but even then most receipts I save personally.
Seriously, email is kind of old fashioned and isn’t really used for communication between real people. You can see how most of what you’re talking about is effectively “documents” and not real communication right?
Most I use email for discussion in 2025 is mailing lists but those are usually for old phogey FOSS projects.
You’re telling me you use email for anything other than spam? By all means, give an example. Personally, when I talk to friends or family, I never use their email address, I just add them to signal or get their phone number…
Uh, I was going to graduate from highschool in a year and Obama was running and we were all pumped for Medicare for all (you can guess how that went)
Overall it was a good year but mired with a lot of negatives. The economy crashed, college tuition went skyhigh and cost of living went up like crazy. I was lucky to have family to help support me through that period, though family has also been the only thing keeping me together the last 10 years as well so I suppose it isn’t that different. As a 17 year old at the time, I didn’t care too much.
The internet was much more hopeful and diverse back then. Explaining to people how different the Internet is now compared to 20 years ago is extremely humbling but also incredibly concerning. It feels like we’ve failed to teach the next generation how to approach the internet.
Definitely
Millennial here, this line still lives rent free in my head. That shit is legitimately good as a lyric because of it lol
I wish Europe would just embrace the fediverse. The techno oligarchs are not your friends and most of them are invested in the US.
The problem is that nobody really uses email anymore. So you might be right, but it should show people why 95% of all the Internet traffic being garbage is pretty damning for businesses or communities that have been built upon it.
I should try to give the second season a watch. I only remember the first one from when I was a kid in the 90s lol, it might be a fun rewatch at some point.

I think old versions pre-adobe cloud have been working pretty well for a long time, IIRC. It’s really the latest versions that most companies force employees to use that are messed up.
But Adobe cloud is, like, 12 years old now IIRC so you’d have to be using a pretty old version.
Question,
If I’m on a different instance, is there a away to get the episode link equivalent for my instance? The post ID seems to differ between instances, and I don’t know if there’s something I’m missing or not regarding a “open in my instance” url.
Yikes, this god damn timeline.
Needless to say, you’re literally better off coming to the fediverse and talking to us than talking to an AI about thoughts of suicide. He had a therapist, he should have trusted them over some snake oil sold for the investment class. If you, yourself, need help, make sure to treat yourself well and find someone real to talk to instead of fake bots.
Bah, the fact that the AI helped push him toward suicide instead of away from it shows just how misanthropic this whole tech space is. Needless deaths, needless thefts and an immeasurable pile of grief as we walk a circuit guided path to a dark inhumane future. RIP
Until the wrong person gets in power, and then you do have something to hide.
That’s generally how I feel about it.
