I don’t think the flat Earth idea is nearly as widely believed as it appears. I think most of the proponents are just trolls.

Thank you more! I can hardly believe you went all that trouble to transcribe my stupid song.

It is “oblate spheroid.”

The world is flat.

edit: When I made this years ago a friend warned me that some folks would not recognize it as satire. I didn’t believe it possible for anyone to be that stupid.

Or perhaps they truly Arch?

I’ve not tried to make such a table myself in Libreoffice, but when I open one that someone at work made with excel, everything works as expected.

There are alternatives for everything, and most of them are better that the windows-only options. Gimp, for example, is far superior to Photoshop.

That said, some folks do have to use the crappy MS software for work. There’s nothing to be done but to pity them.

Ooooo, look at mr. “I’m sane” over here!

jk. good advice.

Yep, sure enough I missed this:

I have no idea to what extent the allegations are justified, but if they are true, then yeah, a fork was necessary.

What sets CoMaps apart is a fully transparent governance approach. All decisions about the app’s development are made publicly, with users and contributors having a voice in its future direction. This focus on community engagement aims to deliver value for its users rather than prioritize profit.

Did I miss something? How is Organic Maps possibly “prioritizing profit?”

Sure enough! Thanks, that was fun to watch again.

Isn’t that step two?

I feel like step one was “get a box,” but I could be misremembering.

Much better! I approve!

Let’s try to make this work! Please?

All someone has to do to avoid being called a boomer is

Everyone born between 1945 and 1960 (in the US) is literally unable to do anything to avoid being known as and called a boomer. The word was around for decades before some stupid mean people tried to redefine it based on their ageism, or in other words their ridiculous belief that old people are evil.

When it is used to denigrate a “mindset” that you don’t like, it is most certainly a slur. When used to refer to folks who were born between 1945 and 1960, it is not.

We’ve all agreed (almost all) to stop using the word retarded to refer derogatorily to folks who do not have that medical condition.

Any word can be used as a slur.

Fine. Use a word for it that isn’t a bigoted slur.

I’m with you right up to the ageism. The folks who persecuted Aaron were older than him, but they were not boomers, and what they did had nothing to do with his age or theirs.

Bigotry is always wrong.

I don’t see them there.

Best thing about Mastodon is no insidious algorithm forcing stuff on you to specifically make you angry.

The disorder can only increase, just like your toys on the living room floor.

Telescope is almost a misnomer here. It will be “looking” at other satellites, not astronomically distant objects.

The influence of gravitational waves will be seen in changes in the relative distance to each of the six satellites.
