Meaning there is no cost to use them. This does not mean there is no cost to run them. I think we always knew that data servers needed to be maintained, & need electricity. But twitter & FB having always been free to use, made us not think about those costs. On the #Fediverse, those costs are spread out. But still there. Donations have been making the Fedi what it is for years.

Not that Blue Sky doesnt have flaws. So does the Fedi. But some ppl tend to seek out superiority. Either to take it away or make it for themselves. I'm trying to avoid that. I dont want Fedi superiority or majority. I'm trying to just be happy with what works for me. I also want Bluesky ppl to have wat works for them. I want better for them, if they say, it's less than working for them. #Fediverse npub1uwa69epvx03659psux9hgqvgr8czpsg5kkckjj7d7wwqpfangpcqvltyat Sco :progress: :flag_mm: @nprofile…xlhv I know my roommate gets headaches sometimes.

Tho I'd have to see it again. Cause the reset didnt seem like it addresses that event the best to reset it. And in general, i had fun with the jokes.

The plot puts things back where they were. Which The Simpsons being a status-ish quo show, that is to be expected. But this didnt really have much to say or change in the slightest about Homer and Flanders. Not terrible, but it felt like cheep candy: a little flavor, then nothing, and not filling.

This was great. Very kinetic animation with great gags. It had a good story were everyone got to shine. And a great showcase for Petunia. This, like the recent shorts, has alot of care & respect for the 40s & 50s shorts. It's in the art style, but with a bit of a modern accent. But also in the fluid animation, framing, & motion.
