Interesting.

So that means match any string that is made entirely of a single repeating sequence, where repititon is possible.

Empty input Or input of exactly 1 character Or input of at least 2 characters, followed by at least 1 something (idk what \1 matches)

Did I get it (almost)?

There are lots of reasons to want alternatives to social media mega-corps, and the people with those reasons have varied likes and hobbies.
Even amongst the people who care about privacy, decentralization, etc, people still have varied interests. All you have to do is look at the popularity of Tiktok content about privacy, security, programming, etc.

Dude is a basement dweller, and just assumed that was the norm for everyone who shared an interest with him.

I have my own thoughts about hurdles that loops will face, but “fediverse is for snobs” isn’t it.

Where?

Lamest flex in history

Because the constraints make it interesting
I want the length limits.

Yeah, the fediverse would be much better place without narcissistic gatekeeps like you here to bring the mood down all the time.

What an absolute neckbeard take

I’m interested, and I hope it’s successful.

I’m not sure how they’re going to attract creators, when Tiktok already has the same features, has a larger audience, and pays… But I hope they can because I’d love to dump Tiktok for something open source.

I wonder how their FYP will work, because honestly that’s a huge part of what makes Tiktok good.

It’s hard to find a very of any variety that isn’t a raving douche

I’m getting Blood Machines vibes

(And by extension Turbo Killer)

Yeah I knew they weren’t plants but it made the analogy easier to pretend they were 😅
They have plant-ey vibes

They were all like “let’s get the Calvin cycle up in this house, lets light it up!” And so they did, and the atmosphere caught fire

Very cool!

It reminds me of my fav, The Oxygen Catastrophy, where basically a plant did something new and caused the earth to freeze. In this case, by converting methane to carbon dioxide, a much weaker greenhouse gas.

I like it!
I kind of feel like “locomotive” itself is a niche so this is more like a collapse of a niche rather than a mass extinction, but I love the analogies

That’s my fav too.
“The Oxygen Catastrophy” is just such a cool name.

• Also some upstart bacteria just start pumping out poison that kills almost everything (oxygen)
• Causes the ocean to rust
• Causes the atmosphere to catch on fire
• then causes the earth to turn to a snowball

Fuckin metal

I’m judging you, as I said I would

That’s the Holocene, and I’m judging you.

I was asking for extinction events, aka mass extinctions.
But this is still very interesting! Thanks for sharing it with me

I’m judging you, not because you chose the Holocene, but for how easy it was to get people without interesting opinions to identify themselves 😏
