That’s the beauty of the law - no one knows (except everyone with any expertise, who just won’t admit they know.)

No. Calling them out would be talking to them when I don’t strictly need to. That sounds like no fun.

I can’t see Insta or TikTok without a login, anymore, I think?

Mastodon is nice, and still allows posting publicly.

Plus no algorithm bullshit to fuck with creators.

Also, it’s where the folks with options (money) went when Twitter became a Nazi bar, and there’s far fewer bot accounts. All in all, it seems like conversion rates are much higher given any amount of reach.

(Also, almost any post on any Mastodon server is reachable from all of the other servers and from all of Bluesky, thanks to federation. So one post gets access to the whole ecosystem.)

I think you can already get follows from Mastodon accounts through Lemmy, but most of us don’t do that, yet. (The apps are improving daily, I guess it may get easier.) I discover things, here on Lemmy; but I subscribe to things over on Mastodon.

They’d be able to find a toilet.

Especially the ones with x-ray vision.

I’m sad that I assumed this was a slop machine.

Local engagement: Partners curate community-specific content, helping spotlight emerging writers.

Local authors. Excellent.

Congratulations! And good job taking a moment when you needed it.

Be sure to steal a moment to eat something, too!

The answer to most ultimatums is no.

Yes! It took me far to long to internalize this.

Ultimatums are never productive, and anyone issuing them is either desperate or an asshole. (Sometimes both.)

This is so true.

Choosing my introverted life partner was the best choice I ever made. Or the best choice they ever made for me…or somewhere in between. But great choice, all around.

Human readable test code.

I mean, it’s a portable device. Put enough power into it, and it’s just going to light my lap on fire.

The more powerful device (with enough cooling, and a wall connection) is the Steam Machine, and it’s currently a lottery to get a chance to buy one. I am fully down to play more aggressive games, if I get a chance to buy the Steam Machine.

But I’m not excited for another Sega GameGear - another portable so powerful that it cannot be practically played away from a wall outlet.

I do want another SteamDeck, but I want it smaller, lighter, lower power, longer battery, and pocketable. I want a SteamDeck mini.

This sounds a lot like gripes that older generations have always had about younger generations.

But this younger generation is the youngest one yet!

It is lucky noone is exploiting that simplicity.

Yes. If anyone unethical figured that out, who kmows what could happen!?

Some very rich people who depend on others’ continued oil dependency to remain very rich own many media companies.

Now we’re getting somewhere. This explains exactly how much I hoped and dreamed it would.

But is it anything like Earth? That’s what I want to know. (Edit: Yes it is!)

Edit: I’m told it is Earth-like. I’ve added that here in case the article was too ambiguous about any similarities it might have with Earth.

When I have had something previously working to not working with no known changes, it has usually been failing hardware, for me.

Keep an eye on your heat - both in the PC itself, and in the charging cord (if a laptop).

I was part of this adoption wave.

During the first hype wave, I felt nervous about their getting the game to a full release.

It’s a great game!

Examined as pokemon game, I rank Palworld somewhere a bit below Dragon Warrior Monsters II, but well above Pokemon Ruby (which itself is great).

“This is not an AI problem. It’s negligence on a 40-year-old standard—and it’s basically every sci-fi film ever,” says longtime security and compliance consultant Davi Ottenheimer. “‘Highly isolated’ and ‘escaped through the one hole we left open’ cannot both be true.”

Art should evoke emotion in the observer. Keep at it. You’re doing it.

P.S. I second the motion that the charred cat carcass should become a recurring character.

They ran the clock out on anyone noticing that they bought their only real competitors.

Marvel and Fox next, I expect.
