As far as I recall it's about blatantly "white" tweets, to underly how clueless and detached from reality they are.
But it may have warped into the stratosphere as of these days...
Oooooooooh, you mean like in 2001 when I was dating my first ever black girl. I was talking about how you never have breakfast foods for dinner. And she asked if I wanted chicken and waffles. I had never heard of such a dish together. I thought she was asking for two different meals, and it was weird to phrase it like that. After some back and forth, she assured me you take fried chicken, serve it WITH waffles, and cover the whole thing in maple syrup. I thought she was pranking me. So I went over, and googled it. I was suuuuure she was messing with me. Nope. It's a real thing people in the south do. I'm from Ohio. So was she, but she has family in Atlanta. I was just......why? Just why would anyone mix those foods? Still to this day I don't want it.
Then, after it had been well established that chicken and waffles was a thing, she asked "Have you ever heard of chitlins?"
I had not. Ignorance is bliss.

YES I fuckin love the
emoji on Voyager! There's been a lot more and they make me smile inside like little 
s on FFXIV. Do other apps have them to indicate new users?Not sure, but I'd also like to know. Sounds like a great feature!

I've been dual-booting for about 2 weeks now, and I've been spending so much time in Fedora Silverblue because it's just so nice. I mean, most of the shit I do is browser stuff, so I have no issues there. Most of the time I can get apps to work, but my only gripe is not being able to use NextDNS alongside Proton VPN like I did on my windows computer
. I just don't know how to get it to work, and idk how to revert my DNS settings in terminal back to default instead of NextDNS.But like everything else is fine, and I can still do my schoolwork.

For anyone new: consider investing 10 minutes to learn how lemmy works and why decentralized and open source is better than proprietary and centralized platforms like reddit.
Especially important to understand decentralization when it comes to topics like piracy. Unlike Reddit, a non-commercial Lemmy instance isn't going to be shut down by a CEO who is worried about how it might affect their ability to sell ads. But, admins can get threatened, they can get overwhelmed, they can get hit by a bus. It's good to know how how to find other communities on other servers, etc.

I mean, they're normies... anything that's not just a one-step process buttoned as "App" is going to give them "off putting vibe".
And this is why lemmy can feel unwelcoming lol

when they turn off old.reddit
If they do that I'll open a reddit account just so I can leave reddit again.
