Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

welcome post is pinned on some remote instances without obvious reason https://awful.systems/post/61
yeah that's cos it's still pinned ;-) a year is probably enough I'll unpin it now
i mean it didn't show up as pinned ever before, at least for me
maybe awful.systems talking better to discuss.tchncs.de for obscure reasons? WELCOME TO FEDI WHO KNOWS HOW THE HELL ANY OF THIS WORKS
I just want to highlight that lemmy decided that .de domains were obviously legit, and the instance's own domain does not get the autolink treatment (probably because the inner crate hasn't been updated against IANA roots? who knows)
bless this jank
and here is a rare instance where I'll be, like, 30% gracious. modern zoneroots are a fucking trip.
for instance, you may think you have an idea of how many there are. maybe even a guess? go on, have a guess. write it down. then open this link and post your delta
(side thought: this could be a drinking game)
I guessed 500. That's...that's not how many.
mastodon and bluesky are conspiracies by Big Janky Offbrand Domain Name
Wild, isn’t it? And that’s just the raw TLD config, ignoring all the weird ccTLD etc things going on
And not even mentioning the once-again-grift-rich world of altroots…
that's only desktop, jerboa autolinks both
Well fuck, now I’m going to have to dig into that, because that sounds like a wonderfully cursed divergent behaviour
I’m gonna get this tattooed on my knuckles. yes, all of it
I suspect what’s going on is discuss.tchncs.de probably updated lemmy to the new stable version? I’ve seen a couple of things federate that didn’t before, now that the new version is out
the confusing thing is, we’re not on the new stable version yet
how many fingers do you have
an accident with a teleporter and Midjourney
there was a perfectly good abyss/cthulhu joke here and you just DIDN'T
david.
maybe it was triggered by somebody responding to that post idk. nothing works, but it works reliably enough
i've noticed that federation to kbin got significantly worse
