Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word? Anyway, apparently I also coined the Very Specific Object nomenclature now sporadically used in the 3D printing community. Yeah, that was me. This must be how Cory Doctorow feels all the time these days.
I once heard it also involves a miserable little pile of secrets.
It’s the default feed you get when you navigate to your instance (lemmy.world in this case) as opposed to your subscription view or any specific communities/subs. Here it’s either “local” (posts from just this instance) or “all” (posts from this and other federated instances).
They’re one of the most prolific posters on here. Maybe 1/3 to 1/4 of your front page will be their posts at times. I was ribbing the parent poster for implying that anyone who posts on here frequently “must” be a bot, which is obviously horseshit.
Some of us genuinely have nothing better to do.
Not that I’d know or anything. ¬_¬
You have, like, met @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website, right?
Uh.
Does anyone currently know James May’s whereabouts now that Andy Wilman is presumably no longer keeping tabs on him?
Gee, for the same money… a digital brontosaurus for Orc Game that you need to pay a recurring subscription to actually use, can be taken away from you at any time, or one day the servers may simply be turned off erasing not only your “investments” but also your years of “work.” Or, I don’t know, a CIVIVI Hyperpulse with a groovy pattern welded blade that also happens to be a physical object you can actually hold in your hands and keep forever. Just to pick something out of a hat.
What a tough choice!
