@aelaraji hahahahaha! Good findings. Yes, most of them are invented, and medical/drug related. The kick with the German ones is that they summarise an entire paragraph, with not just meaning, but also feelings, and--hypothetically--hard to describe extra meanings rather difficult or impossible to translate to other languages.

@bender There are a couple more
I went and looked them up but I can't imagine myself using any except for "honorificabilitudinitatibus" ... It kinda sounds good and has a nice meaning I guess.

Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesn't make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!

@aelaraji LOL. That's pretty much it, and it just means "extraordinary". 🤣

@bender well there is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"!
I usualy hear people ask Harry Mack (a freestyle rapper) to include it in his freestyles. 😆

@prologic I think it happens more, and more, while on mobile. I use iCloud Private Relay, if that helps.
Now, don't misunderstand me. With all the perceived drawbacks/flaws I listed, Yarn works. Could it be much better? For sure. *But* it works. :-D
@sorenpeter Not bad, maybe let’s go back to 98.css. 😃

@bender It feels like the current cycle has been going on for a very long time now, almost 20 years. 😩 But I might be wrong here, maybe it started later.

Microblogging is often the antithesis of meaningful. You talk about everything, and anything you want. Even to the void. You have done it!

Yarn is niche. With it's forks, and yarns, it comes across as a "weird" microblogging for some (weird was the word a friend from Philippines used to refer to Yarn). The UI/UX has issues (I am not an expert, but I would say copying "the others" and slightly adjusting to give Yarn it's own uniqueness should work), and that keeps people away. The cache blows, I want to be able to see everything, at all times. The built-in search blows, I want a more "ala Google" kind of search. There is more, but you get the gist.

@prologic standing up Mastodon isn't that much complicated. It is just a little bit more demanding than Yarn, that's all.
@lyse "looking forward to the *next* weekend"; I see what you did there! :-D
@movq fear not! We know we are animals that do things on cycles. We also copy each other. What's old becomes new, over and over. It is bound to end... eventually.

I am not fond of it either.
@prologic and by "y'all" you meant *eapl*, right? I noticed that too, and LOLed IRL. 🤣

@prologic I believe that only a search box on the front page is better. Just like it is now. I still haven't got used to the advanced options, but that's an entirely different story.

Of all the retro OSes that I’ve got running, SuSE 6.4 is clearly the most powerful one. It comes with a ton of software and development tools. Windows 2000, which was released around the same time, is basically “empty” in comparison.

But of course, none of that mattered. No *popular* software, no adoption. 😅 And yes, things like configuring the X server were stupid hard back then.
