I used to love Ubiquiti but they’re turning into cunts these days. I also heard there’s been a lot of people leave and low morale due to the enshitification of the products.

I’ve since put OpenWRT onto my ERX and ER4. Will likely put it on the UAP-LC next to get rid of it entirely.

I don’t see anything alt-right in your past comments.

Btw I agree with the Wayland thing. I won’t move to it until it’s perfect. X works fine for me.

I don’t get it?

TLDR?

Een probleem?!

You picked THREE currencies and not one of them is used in Scotland.

Oh great. As if my life doesn’t have enough curses on it.

This sounds funny and I’d probs watch it for the first time.

Lemmy isn’t big enough to be blocking shit left and right.

Mackerel is better than tuna OP.

Dutch is a strange language.

Thanks!

Holy shit! That Swan guy is a fucking legend. I’ve never seen Trump get that hounded by a journalist before!! He needs to et this more often. Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?

Yes - thank you!! I’m not sure when it happened but the internet defo feels very different when I compare it when I was running a vBulletin forum in the early-00s.

It was very much an anything-goes wind-up fest.

There’s places you can still be sarcastic and ironic. FOr example Reddit’s 2westerneurope4u is good but as a whole everything’s a lot more serious and dour.

I hoped the UK subs on feddit.uk would be less uptight but unfortunately they’re some of the worst for taking things wrong. Whereas on Reddit UK subs they’ll proudly refuse to use “/s” the Lemmy users are just as blind to obvious sarcasm.

Even when I’ve posted videos of British comedy such as Chris Morris it will get donvoted cos I assume people just don’t want to laugh?! You’ll get people commenting seriously about how such-n-such is better or “oh yeah this was funny when it came out but I didn’t like X, Y, Z”.

Like fucking hell guys - when was the last time you all laughed?

I dunno, I’m gonna carry on doing my thing. I refuse to be battered into misery by the cynical masses. :)

To add:

Someone posted in a UK sub asking if a “Good News UK” community would be good.

I commented something like: “It’d make sense to set up and leave it empty while bloicking any submissions cos there’s bugger all good news about this country”

4 DAY BAN but not just from the Good News UK community - from every other community they moderated including the Nature one which pissed me off most of all cos I fucking love British nature!

Hedgehogs are my fave animal and I’ve nurtered some back to health. I love tits and especially the crested tit.

Heaven forbid anyone leave a wry comment! Christ you’ll get banned from fucking everything.

So no, banter is dead. Humour is dead unless it follows a brain-dead Reddit meme everyone understands.

banter

It won’t work. I regularly post banter, irony, sarcasm. But it just gets taken too seriously. People accuse me of having an agenda or seriously believing some of the utterly outlandish things I say.

I’ll sa stupid shit like “the Java programming language causes cancer” and people will think I’m fucking SERIOUS?!

The other day I said the VERY obviously unserious: “Only bourgeois homosexuals and gentrified lesbians use Wayland”.

Bear in mind I’m gay and my that user account has a rainbow flag in it!

One lesbian found it funny and responded. It was mostly downvoted and it lasted 4hrs before getting deleted and my account banned.

I regularly make comments that are blindingly obvious sarcasm - they use utterly ridiculous sentences like the above about “gentrified lesbians”.

Everyone takes them seriously. There’s absolutely NO fucking humour allowed unless it follows a VERY stale Reddit-esque meme format that people are used to.

When someone said they tried meth once and hated it I replied “Skill issue”.

I was battered by downvotes.

Another example: I puffed on a strong vape for the first time one morning and made a WHIMSICAL post of: “WOW! How is nicotine legal!?” - cos it almost knocked me the fuck out. I wasn’t serious!

Dog-piled by people saying - “Yeah well alcohol is legal!” or “What’s your endgame here? What’s the agenda?!”. Or “If this is bait, then you’re pretending to be an idiot. If not, you’re an actual idiot.”

What’s with assuming the fucking worst of everyone’s posts?! What happened to “que sera sera”?

“Yes I’m bragging about fucking my body you well-oiled grape.” - -9 downvotes.

“WELL OILED GRAPE!!!” Oh of course I must have absolutely meant that fuckign classic burn. I don’t even WTF it would mean if taken seriously.

“But if I dropped you in the Pacific ocean you wouldn’t live long.” to a “Hydro Homie” espousing the virtues of water. -8 downvotes (fucking sarcasm!)

“The weight of my intellect is a heavy burden to bear.” - Obvious fucking sarcasm -8 downvotes

“Java devs are the reason humanity will never have FTL drives.” - -3 downvotes. Java devs really have NO sense of fucking humour.

I refuse on principal to add the brain-dead “/s” bollocks for obvious sarcasm. It’s not my problem the world is wet lipped and loose knickered.

The entire fediverse is filled with humourless, miserable, cynical wishy-washy cunts who dont’ spot sarcasm irony or anything unless it’s written in BIG FUCKING CAPITALS.

THIS IS A FUNNY - DONT TAKE SERIOUSLY

Having played HOI4 I can attest to how fucking impossible it is to win without getting Czechoslovakia rolled over first.

My cat - which I thought was a he but turned out to be a she - had given birth a few months before, so there were a total of six cats at the time.

Similar thing happened with my cockatiel Henry. Spent 15yrs thinking he was a boy until we created a little nest box for him and he laid an egg. From then on she was Henrieta. :)

Glad your cabin survived!
