  • Pages represent web pages, whereas notes represent “a short written work typically less than a single paragraph in length”. In my opinion, using Page was a mistake on Lemmy’s end. Just like Lemmy won’t support Place objects, I’m not sure if any other platform will ever support Page objects, because Pages are much bigger in scope than anything most Fediverse applications ever deal with.

    Using note was the mistake. Limiting communication to short quips, like Twitter does, is a fucking travesty. The fact that people routinely and often make multiple tweets to extend what they want to say proves this point. Twitter/X was the worst thing to happen to communication in the internet age by further reducing the attention span and ability of people to concentrate on longer bodies of writing, thereby making people even dumber.

    Twitter/Mastodon should not even be a thing, honestly. They are dumb methods of communication for dumb people. You can always post something shorter in a long form system, but you can’t post something longer in a short form system, without making multiple posts. It’s fucking stupid and always has been. The primary reason for the short form, originally 140 char, was because you could text it in one message. This made a bit of sense… just a tiny bit, as it opened up communication where there previously wasn’t any. But as we moved away from that paradigm of 140 char text messages, the idea of a Twitter became more and more stupid, where today, we have Twitter/Mastodon as the bastion of the idiot regime who can’t think past 280 characters.




  • Generally speaking US military time vernacular never uses the word “and” because it’s superfluous and confusing.

    The idea is to condense the information into the smallest transmissible unit possible while eliminating any ambiguity.

    “Oh six oh five” would be how you say it. The leading “oh” is to disambiguate a transmission dropout or interference with “sixteen.” It adds a checksum bit, if you will.

    Yes, because that’s what you are, Eurotrash. Trash like you is so common in the Internet because that’s the only place you can feel powerful and in control of your life. It’s painfully obvious to everyone.

    You should be be wary of trying to school other people when you live in a tiny shithole country and think you compare to a country the size of the US.

    It’s funny how you think all pizza in the US is from Pizza Hut.

    You do know the US food culture and depth of quality dwarfs whatever country you are from, right? That’s the problem with so many Europeans. They don’t understand the size of the US. You can’t grasp the fact that just one of our fifty states can be more diverse than your entire country. Even the largest EU member is smaller than Texas, just one of the states.
