Reminds me of the dwarf psychic that escaped from prison, i.e. a small medium at large

What’s brown and rhymes with snoop?

I prefer optimistic nihilism, such as John keats’ epitaph “Here lies one whose name was writ in water”. ashes to ashes dust to dust, the wheel in the sky keeps on turning, same as it ever was etc.

Apex enshitification

In my neck of the woods “thank god for this people crusher, I love it when my government crushes people and I will continue to vote for whichever candidate promises to crush the most people” is a depressingly common sentiment 😞

Because racism and sexism connote a broad power dynamic of oppression, and since white men have most of the political and social power, critiques of them are not sexist or racist. I’d say OP is just a sexually & racially prejudicial strawman, i.e. a lemmy shitpost ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Do you have a source on this? It’d be great ammo for convincing my associates to ditch the platform

Very wise, consider me convinced

I had no idea that bridges like this existed; looking at the matrix bridge docs this looks perfect! And I’ve heard good things about matrix in general. Good point that using a combination of apps is more realistic than trying to find one that does everything.

How might I find people nearby that would like to join, and then coordinate details? Knocking on doors has gone poorly.

Hard disagree, it wouldn’t be compulsory and whatsapp is dogshit feature wise. Making friends as an adult is hard; I’d kill for a way to find people that live walking distance from me that want to play D&D.

I agree, that’s why I was hoping for something that would work well in-browser: no additional download required. It’s me: the lonely bored person that wants something to do. I’ve tried going door to door, but people around here haaaate that.

Good points. For the hardware, there are additional things I’d like to self host (personal website, media server, game servers, etc.) so I was imagining hardware I could grow into. I have a trial setup (git, lemmy, and apostrophe CMS managed by portainer + nginx + Heimdall) on my gaming pc that seems to work well and which I’d like to make a permanent version of. Definitely not married to having a blade, but I definitely want to go on premises. If there’s downtime, it’ll be because of an internet/power outage affecting the neighborhood, so no one’ll be trying to access it anyway. Adoption will be hard either way (the people I live around are mired in the metaverse 😭) and I’m open to suggestions on that as well.
