stumbled across this collection of assorted @npub1df6…ns3a early Daily Source Code episodes like two hours ago and have just been sitting here, entertained as hell. https://archive.org/details/pcs_Adam_Curry_Daily_Source_Code

@npub1u24…32pl hmmm... I've got a 15 Pro and this would suggest that my struggles to get it to do what I want might indeed come down to... fiddling too much.

AMERICANS:
FINALLY HAVE ENOUGH 'FREEDOM' YET?
I am so fucking sick of Freedom. Freedom sucks. Freedom doesn't work. I'm tired of trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. PRISON would be refreshing!!!
swap me out for a family of immigrants. it is long past my turn to serve some time.

@npub19lt…qfjk I mean, it's really good. like, reliable, frugal, cross-platform as heck, customizable, well-documented (for the most part,) intuitive, etc. I can only suppose - and I'm sorry because I know it's not what you asked for lol - but I see so many reasons.
I guess you could say I'm looking for the primer that explains why tf it's not the default platform (or at least used more legitimately at scale) in the U.S. hehe. https://bilge.world/telegram

@npub1utv…87lr okay thank you for taking the time... I really appreciate the sentiment. what a strange context to be in, though.

@npub1utv…87lr Christina, I've been reading and listening to you for a long time... I don't wanna start some drama with your job, but your CEO just said something uh... well, too *unbelievable* to be alarming.....

@npub1200…aqy2 as a fundamental component of whatever the fuck America means in 2023 vs what it meant when we were still adding stars...
(specifically, if we can accept anti-immigration sentiments as fundamentally anti-American, which seems extremely and hilariously obvious to me but...)
I guess the deciding difference is that adding stars to the flag is buidling The Empire, and adding colors is not(?)

@npub1u27…3qfq I had no idea Jitsi was so great lol.
it was a privilege to just sit and listen. (I think that was my first actual facetime with any .org, much less a working group.)

@npub120z…33r2 omg.
you have no idea, pixelfed.
would you do me a favor - if possible - and try to emulate Vine's ability to create actually seamless loops?
because idk if you've noticed but NONE of the shortform video platforms can make loops like Vine did.
it ok if no, though.

to fully experience the breadth of the nearly 100 @npub1svs…p66u themes I've collected already, it occurred to me that I could quite easily create an automation that'd cycle the set theme every time I come back to the app.
