I’m @froztbyte more or less everywhere that matters

I, too, have done the “all communication is manipulative”, but in the same way as one would do a bar trick:
all communication is manipulative, for any words I say/write that you perceive instantly manipulate (as in the physical manner / modifying state) your thoughts, and this is done so without you requesting I do so
it’s a handy stunt with which to drive an argument about a few parts of communication, rhetoric, etc. because it gives a kinda good handle on some meta without getting too deep into things
(although there was one of my friends who really, really hated the framing)
lemmy’s own post-formatting code
oh but see, it has at least 2-if-you-squint representations of things (and possibly more? it’s been a while since I read the code). it’s got “raw”, which represents semi sorta whatever the user input
iirc it broadly takes that for a local render (as in on the site frontend)
and then it also makes a $something for the thing it sends out over ActivityPub
I do want to make it clear that I’m not carrying water for lemmy here, fwiw. this’d be a legit cool thing to add to things (whether the spape it took was “renders latex locally, and ships images remote” or whatever). just saying it might be hairy
I’d pipe up and go “uhhh hey prof, aren’t you being paid to, like, impart knowledge?”
(I should note that I have an extremely deficient fucks pool, and do not mind pissing off fuckwits. but I understand it’s not always viable to do)
yeah lemmy’s got some real weirdo choices
off the cuff, this feels like a "don’t cross the streams’ thing
(there is that webfont or whatever thing for html latex, but having looked under the hood on lemmy’s post handling I uhhhhhhh yeah)
neat idea though, maybe that should be a thing that philthy can do better
the terrible tryfecta
jesus fucking christ do you even understand where you’re posting? how are you this goddamn oblivious?
you do not, under any circumstances, have to “give it to them”
there is no requirement to carry water for this awful shit
do not surprisedpikachu when someone calls out your weird posts
my my, those boots sure must be tasty
objectionally calculated numbers
The nerd/jock thing always felt like an American thing
similarly, I never got to see the “school bully” thing even nearly as much as it seems to be an issue US-side. not that we didn’t have (or that they didn’t try with me[0] on occasion), but it seems to be quite extreme in the US?
looks like the autoplag bullshit is causing a “fun” new frontier in the hellscape of youtube copyright fuckery
dunno, it’s definitely up there. maybe not a recent one, and I could understand people sub-25 perhaps not knowing the name, but across a fair bit of the foss space the name is household
unfortunately

hmm so I guess mali is the next to be screwed by tld hype bullshit
there may not be punishment enough for versace bedouin
goddammit now I want a taco, and there’s no great options near me
curse you, average of extremes!
fwiw this link didn’t jump me to a specific reply (if you meant to highlight a particular one)
