  • You guys wanna know why Windows>Linux? It’s very simple. You just refuse to accept how simple this answer is, but this has always been the answer.

    Windows:

    Click the thing. Ok, that did the thing.

    Linux:

    It’s so easy! Just go into terminal, and I hope you memorized your commands, because not only will you need to remember the command, but you need to make certain there are no typos. Anywhere. Ever. Or the whole thing does not work.

    And the userbase are people who may not even be wearing matching socks. Simply because they didn’t notice, or maybe they didn’t care.

    So “click the thing” is intuitive. “Memorize the entire ecosystem of commands” is like doing homework.

    People don’t like hard things. People like easy things. And if it’s hard, they give up, and play with ball in a cup instead.













  • Twitch currently has a pretty effective moderation method for making sure certain topics or games don’t get featured on their platform.

    For example, you can be in a bikini, that’s fine, but you can’t show feet.

    You also can’t play the socom games from PS2, because of the idea of glorifying terrorists. Since if they win, the announcer says “terrorists win”.

    The point I’m making is, these are abstract concepts that need human monitoring. It wouldn’t be that hard to add twitter/X conversations to that list.

    So like, if you have a twitter, you can’t use your twitter on your away screens, or talk about it on stream. The same way you can’t give out an only fans link.

    And twitch is owned by amazon. If they REALLY wanted to piss off musk, they could buy bluesky and make it the official microblogging service for all amazon owned services.

    So if you have an amazon account, now you have a bluesky account.

    And all the actors who act in yhe prime shows? They get signed into bluesky exclusive interaction contracts. Where they only interact with fans on bluesky.

    As for CVS? They’re a struggling drug store chain. Amazon already owns whole foods. A grocery store. Would it really be too far out of the realm of plausibility to see them adopt CVS into their too big to fail ecosystem?


  • Disagree.

    A LOT of what I use social media could be classified as brands.

    Game Grumps is a youtube show. I’m excited they’re on bluesky.

    The Cleveland Guardians are a baseball team in the MLB. I’m excited they’re on bluesky.

    You could classify them as brands. They use social media to promote themselves, and I use social media to interact with those brands that isn’t available otherwise.


  • Its not that we tried nothing and are all out of ideas. It just that we didn’t try to think of any solutions. We didn’t make any attempts. And we let the corporations get away with anything for profit. We prioritized our buying hot pockets and killing off the planet to make sure some rich CEO can buy his 14th jet, and another rich asshole dports team owner can build a new stadium every year by charging the tax payers who may never even watch sports.

    This is the result.

    I TRIED telling you guys, we need to form a mob, and chop off these assholes heads. But it got treated as a joke, like “ha ha, right! Could you imagine??? Ha ha ha”

    Yes. I CAN imagine. Are you laughing now?
