Le repouêt rend le poil lisse, coûte moins cher qu’une licence Photoshop CC, évite les nœuds, vire les pétouilles des capteurs et vous rappelle d’enlever le cache de l’objectif.
J'ai regardé pour la première fois la trilogie des derniers Star Wars en entier, je regrette de l'avoir fait. Il y a de bonnes idées mais tout est noyé dans un scénario grotesque. Il aurait mieux valu éviter le retour des anciens même pour satisfaire les anciens fans et se concentrer sur l'intrigue. Disney a passé le show à la machine à gnan-gnan. Quel massacre. Espérons que Dave Filoni fera mieux avec la trilogie du Mandalorien...
Grogu has put the lies of the Jedi behind him, and awakened his true identity - as a catalyst of the darkside. He will finish what Palpatine could not.
You know how when your favorite diner suddenly changes their secret sauce, and you’re all like, “Great. Now where am I supposed to get my late-night burger fix?” It’s a bit like that here on the #Fediverse when #Twitter has a boo-boo or when Elon Musk sneezes in a way we don’t fancy.
It’s never a party. Suddenly, all these reluctant folks start streaming in, not because they fell head over heels for our humble Fediverse or had a ‘Eureka!’ moment that this is indeed the promised land. Nah, they’re here because their fave social space has turned into the virtual version of a traffic jam, and they’re scrambling to find a detour—what they consider to be the runner-up in the race of platforms.
Sure, we’ve seen the writing on the wall for a while now. And boy oh boy, have we tried to warn the Twitterati. But, many of them are like those band musicians on the sinking Titanic, playing their hearts out till the very end. “Abandon Twitter? Over my blue-check-marked profile!” they said, determined to stay till Twitter became as useful as a chocolate teapot—which, as fate would have it, was last weekend.
Now, here’s the thing. Those of us who were into #Mastodon before it became the ‘Twitter refugee camp’, we kinda moved here because we weren’t fans of Twitter to begin with. Yup, you heard it! We didn’t dig that one-stop-shop setup. We didn’t groove with the idea of the Musk-man playing puppeteer. And we certainly didn’t want our social lives behind walled gardens.
So, you see, it’s like mixing oil and water. One group yearns for the good ol’ Twitter days, centralization – before its Musk-ification. The other, let’s just say, wouldn’t touch Twitter with a ten-foot pole, even if Musk threw in a free Starship ride. Obviously, we’ve got a recipe for some serious popcorn-munching drama.
But hey, it doesn’t have to be a sequel of Mad Max here. We can all get along. Let’s not let the Musk do the divide, eh? After all, the Fediverse is big enough for all of us to play nice and share our cat memes, isn’t it? Or maybe, just maybe, we can learn to appreciate each other’s viewpoints.
Alright, alright, alright, so here we are. You’ve got the Twitter-ites, yearning for their old haunt, and the Mastodonians, who couldn’t be more chuffed to be away from all that Twitter hullabaloo. It’s a bit like a salsa dancer at a breakdancing competition, isn’t it? Yet, despite the differences, there are ways to make this unlikely mashup work.
First, remember that communication is king. Instead of throwing virtual side-eye, try opening a dialogue. Learn about each other’s views and quirks. Think of it like a social media exchange program, without the jet lag and lost luggage.
Next, let’s introduce some common ground. Maybe you’re a #GameofThrones fanatic, or perhaps you just can’t get enough of those insanely cute #BabyYoda memes. Heck, you might even be part of the passionate #PineappleOnPizza debate squad. There’s bound to be some overlapping interests that can bridge the gap.
Also, let’s remember that change can be challenging. The Twitter crowd didn’t necessarily choose to emigrate—they got caught in a digital diaspora. So, let’s cut them some slack, offer a helping hand, and share the best tips and tricks to navigate the Mastodon landscape.
Now for the grand finale, my friends. Let’s think of this great Twitter-Mastodon mashup as a chance for evolution. It’s like adding a new ingredient to your grandma’s traditional stew recipe. Sure, it’s different, maybe even a little weird at first, but give it a chance, and who knows? It might just be the best darn stew you’ve ever tasted!
So, in the wise words of the legendary Bill and Ted, “Be excellent to each other!” With open minds and a dash of humour, we can turn this potential ‘clash of the titans’ into a harmonious federation of diversity. After all, that’s what the Fediverse was meant to be all along, wasn’t it? Now, let the cat meme sharing, hilarious hashtag games, and friendly banter begin!
Welcome to the neighbourhood, Twitter refugees. We’re glad you’re here.
So... last year during June's heatwave, when my wife and I were getting ready to leave #Texas for #Detroit, a tiny #kitten that was living under a nearby industrial trash compactor found us.
We cleaned him all up, took him to the vet and because we already have two #cat babies of our own... my wife's co-worker who had recently lost her cat baby adopted him.
