I think post visibility and it all being "one big square" is a part why my social media of preference is pseudo-anonymous chatrooms under a certain size. Even if you use the same identity in multiple chat rooms, they're still separate places.
Posting on fedi feels too much like shouting into the void, and the post visibility doesn't offer fine grained enough controls. Closet like you mention is having multiple accounts. Maybe google+ style circles could be a thing. But also follower-only posts are broken in my opinion; if someone I follow replies to a post by someone only they follow, I don't think I should automatically be able to see their reply. In my opinion the default visibility replying to followers only should make the post visible to people who follow the top of the thread, but this would require followers to be public or the first server acting as a relay.

Late enough that I still encountered it naturally it in the wild but it initially confused me because I was already used to having a unified search bar.
re: view on christianity
@anarceus
For what it's worth not all versions of Christianity believe in original sin. I don't know enough to confidently say which ones do or don't, and if you asked any random individual believer in enough detail you'll probably get different answers.
But needing to believe in Jesus or some other sort of repentance for your own sins is a common belief still. I bet there's some exception there but I can't think of any.

It'd be pretty cool if rust and wayland were as "woke" as these people think they are
@grimalkina
Thanks! I felt very silly that I couldn't tell from the context around it and the alt text, but you're right :)
A likely silly question
@grimalkina
I don't know enough to know, is this this journal an example of bad psychology or the start of trying to actually support gay and lesbian people (very flawed support no doubt, but an honest effort)?
@lumi @tauon
Yeah, I'm definitely more conscious of who's writing the software I pick and what kind of community is around it now. "apolitical" doesn't cut it
@anarceus
Yeah, it felt like in arcane it was done to avoid any sort of systemic change.
racism, ableism
@flesh
Multiple times I've pointed out to people that they were arguing for eugenics, and explained why/how. Multiple times I've gotten the response "what if eugenics was good this time?" :/
Once the person did realize it was fucked up, at least.
@cinnamon
it's a multiplayer mod! it was mostly stable, except when it wasn't lol. Sometimes reloading the server would work, but if you did it too many times it would start to spawn you in a noclip state
and it was cool seeing where a lot of sound effects and stuff that I've heard for years comes from
@cinnamon
I just played/finished Half Life 2 with the Synergy mod for the first time last month! :3
re: math question
@phseiff @transoptimal
Put some numbers in and try it out. Try with random numbers, and even a, b, c, n = 1. If it works that doesn't mean they're equal of course, there could be still be numbers it doesn't work for. If it doesn't then you know.

And a community supporting a game long after the developer stops seems significantly more likely than other software categories

It doesn't require to be running at the same time as your phone anymore; it gets its own keys and can do all the ratcheting stuff independently. But you still need to boot your phone every now and again to re-authorize the desktop client.
