Also for a sense of perspective, Twitter is owned by a Trump salesman that lies about everything (including user numbers that affect ad revenue). I’ve seen Bluesky users mention that actual engagement with real people is already higher than Twitter. It definitely feels more “alive” to me as well.

Only 220 more weeks of this! I’m sure it’ll be fine! ^help

Exactly. I play lots of games (anything with a story and decent ratings), but haven’t bothered with multiplayer in probably a decade. Too many children and terrible people that will ruin the experience.

Related: I wish more people would simply choose to abandon every fucking thing that is infested with abuse, trolls, propagandists, bots, or just has terrible moderation. (I recently tried Bluesky and was amazed by the innovative user-controlled moderating tools, which puts all others to shame.)

You might say… he has a (fresh) lettuce fetish. perversely huffs the leaves

Especially Latinos (+30 R vs 2020?!). Lots of “But I’m not an illegal immigrant!” when the ICE raids start up. “Sorry, your name’s on the list.” Off to the camps they go. Big whoops.

Unfortunately, your statement probably only deserves bothsides.jxl. Please attempt to honestly and objectively compare things, despite the personal inconvenience.

They make mistakes, but Firefox and Mozilla are obviously nowhere near as fucked up as Chrome and Google by any measure. And Firefox would only improve if people stopped running back to Chrome when something was not perfect.

Definitely check voter registration. Quick and easy at state or county website. And register any change of address (along with updating ID, DL).

I usually remember to check about a month before election, or when I see a new illegal “voter purge” in the news (always GOP).

Indeed. She must be keeping very busy. I haven’t read much about her in a while (since she publicly defended him from sex scandals).

I wonder how she really feels about his spiralling mental illnesses and tragic obsessions (social media, conspiracies, politics). He seems quite useless and irrelevant to any business decisions these days. Just another investor to keep happy.

My cat told me I gave him autism.

I laughed, but really it’ll probably arrive 1-2 years after consoles (but that felt like an eternity with GTAV). RDR2 took 1 year. RDR was said to be an impossible ^Undead Nightmare to port, but after 14 years they maybe kinda did it, baby! (We’ll see…)

At least MS account may be slightly more useful (OS, software, school, work). There is literally no reason to have PSN account except a few exclusive games on PlayStation. Even worse are smaller game devs and pubs nagging for accounts.

Of course there is no great reason offline/SP/old games should require an account to play, and out of principle “nope” should be considered. But almost every goddamn thing requires an account these days. At least we have decent password managers now…

I wonder if anybody remembers when it leaked Microsoft had a concept of a plan about restrictions on Xbox discs (used/shared), everyone gasped, Sony mocked them in a video about “sharing discs” on PS4 and became a turning point in the console wars…

Even a decade later: Remove discs at your peril! Half the reason I’ve even bought consoles is for Blu-ray movies (still unbeatable AV quality). Sony won both the console and disc drive wars FFS! Still not enough. “Line must go up more!”

I hope MS is at least mocking them back right now, for giggles. Before announcing a very similar thing next year…

Those early digital years were brutal. 28 Days Later looks worse with every passing year, probably never fixable (the cam’s resolution and quality was just too low).

Edit: Wow, it was shot in SD 480 for some reason (I thought the cam was capable of HD 720). Fantastic article, full of tech details.

He also brought twenty armed guards (and a medic?). They ate all your food, and ruined your toilet. He made too many “jokes” about impregnating things, chuckled, and left.

I’m a bit surprised Xvideos is still viewable in “Tread on me, daddy!” states like Texas. (Maybe Paxton really thought it was Elen’s homemade porn site? Just kidding, it’s Czech owned, they can just ignore his deranged lawsuits. And now the most visited porn site in the world. Republicans are killing American jobs, confirmed.)

Revenue improves. “We did it! But… line must always go up!? More!” Enshittification will continue until death occurs.

I think this is what motivates me to play AC games the most: They really integrate accurate locations and history into their story (with plenty to read and learn about in menus, and even tour modes). I was especially impressed with Origins (Egypt) and Unity (France). Haven’t had time to play newer ones yet.

I used Power Delete Suite (javascript IIRC, via Firefox, year ago) to edit and delete, and mine are still gone. Not sure if it is still effective.

Reddit is probably less and less tolerant about edits and deletions, now that they’re full speed on selling our data. Still see plenty of deleted posts when I’m searching for things, which is… nice I guess (bittersweet).
