"How We Lost Communication to Entertainment" by @ploum https://ploum.net/2025-12-15-communication-entertainment.html

I loved this post even though it's a bit bleak. Social media evolved into a power-law thing where a small percent of accounts produce content, a slightly larger percent remixes it, and most people just surf (myself included on many platforms!).

The fediverse probably hasn't escaped this, but it does have other virtues.

@TheBreadmonkey
I am looking forward now to the buses showing up in "Pluribus," Ben, and am hoping that they'll be double-deckers.

So my laptop died last week. My computer is my lifeline. I use it for gaming, for streaming, and for content creation, and was planning on getting back into 3d modelling and video editing.

I set up a crowdfund for a desktop PC on my throne that meets my needs. Would love to get some help on this. Thanks!

Thanks!

@49016 such refined taste

"Scientists flew drones equipped with special kit through the exhaled droplets, or "blows", made when the giants come up to breathe through their blowholes.

They detected a highly infectious virus linked to mass strandings of whales and dolphins worldwide."

hey fedi, not following the laptop market too closely, but what are some good laptops around the $500 price range?

@404mediaco The far right regime in power now LIVES by the creed of "the big lie." Repeat it over and over and people believe them. Others disprove them, but they keep repeating it and say that the facts are just lies from the Democrats (even when independent non-political parties report them) and people just accept it.

What is this weakness in the human brain that just repeating a thing over and over is more effective than people actually seeing reality itself in front of them?

Haha my cat would probably move out and get LLM brain if she could, she doesn't necessarily like being told no and certainly does not grow from the experience

After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

Thank you for speaking out, Bruna. https://www.comicsands.com/ferreira-leavitt-nephew-cnn?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

@Daojoan The best description I ever heard was, "Wherever you feel a loss of freedom, power, or freedom of expression, there's something inauthentic." Anything else is, as you say games, vanity. But what matters, really, when we talk authenticity is what's in our hearts. So ha, yes, many talk inauthentically about authenticity and however we are *is* us and so strictly speaking authentic, even the poutiest Insta pout, but for me authenticity/inauthenticity is about showing/hiding who we are.

@esoterra @pho4cexa I like the idea of needing only electricity, which you can draw from solar panels, instead of physical components. But I'm afraid "orbital robot horse" is non-negotiable

If you're well versed in LCARS and you know how it handled pagination (screens shots or video clips would be ideal), please message me.

I’m curious :3
