You're absolutely right, thanks :)

Leaf Green is my all-time favourite Pokémon game, but I'd suggest you give HG/SS a try if you want something a little different. :)

Do you think they know what the words "cognitive dissonance" mean?

Same here. I have smelled precisely two things since March last year. It sucks.

It means what it says.

…by which I mean, I have absolutely no idea.

…also, that's a horse.

Nope, images don't federate, just links to them :)

What's uploaded: 1000 10MB pictures What's federated: 1000 hyperlinks

The price of food is ridiculous. £1.70 for a bag of smartprice sausages whose first ingredient is "water"? Absolute state of it.

Your local public library is a great resource for this, if you have one. Most public libraries host classes, and even those that don't will know of community colleges that do. :)

There is a known strategy called EEE (Embrace, extend, and extinguish).

First, they embrace the open web. Millions of people who never would've joined the Fediverse (and, probably, don't even know what the Fediverse is) flock to Threads and start to interact with us.

Then, they extend the open web, adding features to Threads that aren't compatible with our servers. People on Threads don't understand what's wrong with our server (even though it's Threads that's the source of incompatibility).

Finally, they decide they're "having trouble maintaining compatibility with third party servers" and start to break off from us, leaving us with no way to interact with our new friends. Unless, of course, we make a free Threads account...

Google Talk is perhaps the most relevant example of this. Here's more details.

Just gonna throw https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe into the discussion - which is NewPipe, with extra features.
