it’s sarcasm, come on….
but i’d put it in quotes, or qualify it somehow….
like: the supposedly “Gulf of America”.
…

you mean things with tons of evidence? nice try, agent.

that’s probably immediately censored and your account banned… but i think it’s worth a shot

imho: UX-wise.
a: marketing, the name Mastodon is not in common usage, at all… it’s named after a (very cool) metal band… i love it, but your avg chap will hear “mastodon” and wrinkle their nose and move on in the sea of infinite new apps that are shinier… i think this hurt Diaspora a lot as well… at the end of the day, it’s a social network and people have to actually talk about it…
like, regular schmoe’s who don’t love new words have to drunkenly say at a bar “hey add me on ____” and bluesky is so so much better for that.
… remember, regular sports bar types need to say it to each other… grandma’s in nursing homes need to be comfortable with it.
“federated” is a big word and concept, but still the best word for it… after decentralized….
….
b: probably bigger but Jack Dorsey is kinda touted as this super moral tech luminary, even though he quit bluesky for centralizing, he still added a lot of weight to that critical mass a social network needs to achieve to be useful at all.
….
c. actual UI: trying to tag a username and instance is pretty cumbersome… on twitter or insta or most things, you can type @username and tag anyone, on lemmy it’s not as big of a deal because it’s little forums organized around posts, instead of posts organized around users… on a microblogging or friend-network thing like diaspora, it’s just not easy enough.
like, granny in the nursing home isn’t going to type !sonnyboy@dopemastonny.federaloo.org… or get all that….
if you don’t abstract all that away, regular users will be afraid and you’ll get mostly techies and people ideologically motivated to join….
and of course, most of the ideologically motivated ones will take bluesky as close enough… especially because it’s gotten big enough….

the tiktok ban is making them all flood youtube… it’s going to get worse

You can’t kill someone in one hospital and get a job easily in the next for example.

well that’s not true.
e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Duntsch

two different wings of the same shitbird…

there’s no such thing as a “real man”… it’s all just roles society has placed upon different genders….

what’s fun is hexber will ban you for saying the n word, but cracker is totally fine

here’s just one example of how you could’ve killed your coworker by poisoning their food with methylene blue.

but, also it has MAOI properties, meaning it’s not only absorbed into the body, it passes the blood-brain barrier and can interact with a whole slew of different drugs…
i.e. you did something very horrible, and criminal, and you should feel bad…. and if my coworker “pranks” me by putting anything into my food, we’re going to have a very very big problem.

tl;dr you’re not a doctor because you heard somewhere it’s not absorbed into the body and is harmless.

you don’t know my tolerances to different synthetic chemicals

that’s poisoning and i would fuck up a coworker for doing that to me

if you make a new torrent out of the downloaded one’s directory, the hash should match up and magnet should automatically be the same torrent you downloaded.
although your os probably threw some hidden files in there to fuck that up.
the main filename is usually unique and searchable though… and you could start the new download, let it create folders and temp files, then stop it and copy the completed files over, then manually recheck the torrent….
you’d need a new download directory of course….
(i’ve done this one)
futurewise you can have some programs automatically save a .torrent file for new downloads (qbittorrent, at least).

i don’t own a tv… just a computer

i’d rather masturbate with a cheese grater than own a “smart” tv….
