♲ @hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com: I’m glad #Netflix is losing #Disney titles to Disney+. It’s an easy cop-out for when my 5 year-old kid will ask me why he can’t watch one of their movies, rather than having to explain how Disney is exploiting intellectual property and why it’s wrong.

@hypolite Is it a problem you are hunting, or is it something exceedingly dumb and unfixable?Uuuuurrrg I need to actually sit down and write a dumb friendica plugin so I know the code, rather than feature creeping DoublePlusUnzip

I have been working with a pretty default Linux install for half an hour and I am once again convinced that Linux is a joke played on all of us

Ug, I am writing fantasy fiction set in a universe I know everyone but me will hate (our world, but with magic, but it's just normal, it became normalized at the tail end of the Roman empire, but like, the setting is modern San Francisco and there's our modern broken startup scene), but I really am enjoying writing it, but I want to share it, but I know most of the people I share stuff like this with will be put off that *introducing magic to the modern world would change it*And that sucksI hate itI know I don't have to consider audience for personal writing, but if I don't consider audience, I can't get others excited

@hypolite Yeah, but now I need to figure out how to make the middle work!20K words isn't written, it's just all doing research into different spiritualities and how they work.This is *mid project* stress, not end of project stress.

@hypolite I feel like they wont engage with the setting! Making it feel like a hurdle to cross to finish!

@hypolite It's the hurdle of "I don't know if anyone I would talk to about this would enjoy it, and so is it worth finishing" And yes, that's just common writer stress, which I feel I am allowed to vent at 3am

@byllgrim I am just saying I think it's a reasonable thing to post stress at 3 am sometimes, and he was being all "Just do it" while I was clearly doing

Amazon as a whole is a real target.The belief that a corrupt city deal wouldn't have held up in court basically ignores the entire legal history of the US's mess of cities

I think it's a bad idea to call news from two years ago about corruption in government and corporations "old and dead"We obviously all knew the HQ2 stuff was finished over a year ago

@brandon Nah, I don't think that's really in this context. Medium isn't a community

@brandon It's a blogging platform, but sharedThe primary role of medium is external facing posts pointed at the rest of the world, not internal facing posts pointed at other medium users.While that is possible, that's not the goal.

I had a job interview, and brought up open social networks, and the interviewer was like "ah, like plenorma" and then knew Friendica BEFORE I COULD MENTION MASTODON
