Doesn’t matter. If they haven’t convinced people to switch to their platform, they haven’t solved the problem of transforming the medium.

I see Bluesky handles more than Twitter handles nowadays, even among popular streamers, YouTubers, whoever. And I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a Mastodon handle.

leads it into being something truly unique and wonderful that directly challenges some of the most evil and wealthy people on the planet,

Everybody switched to BlueSky, not Mastodon. So, I feel like this whole project has been a failure, especially in the marketing dept.

BlueSky barely got started in Feb, and people immediately jumped ship from Twitter by the millions. Mastodon started nine years ago, and people hardly know what it is.

The original reason Krafton gave for firing the founders was that Subnautica 2 was being pushed out before it was ready just so the founders could get their bonuses.

Neither sides of that look good.

Elfen Lied? I swear the only thing I remember about that anime was the controversy about its gore and themes.

Journalists should be funded by the public, as they perform a public service, while simultaneously they should not be required to report favorably upon the state.

And that’s the crux of the issue, isn’t it? You can’t let corpos piss all over journalism to turn it yellow, and you can’t let a state-run press dictate the citizen’s world view.

Information wants to be free, and that’s realistically the only way it can work.

Name the cases.

I feel like this would be as batshit crazy as handing the beloved Dune series to a madman like Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Enter The Matrix was one of the rare exceptions. That game genuinely slapped.

The game was glued together with duct tape. And not the good kind. The cheap Chinese knock-off brand that’s been sitting in the hot garage for 5 years.

I’ve been playing around with bazzite a bit, and for sure, i can run a lot of games on it, but you often end up googling which launcher to use, which settings to use, … And then even if you find something, it doesn’t always work.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Launch Steam.
2. Install game.
3. Hit Play.

Zero issues.

So, ban itself? You can’t hire corruption to clean out corruption.

Funny how that plays out, considering the data collection of LLMs have to dance around the copyright issue.

Not that I agree with many of people that say looking at a picture and adjusting weights is considered “stealing an image”.

I’m glad this effort finally has the support it needs, compared to six months ago when it was practically on life support.

PushingUpRoses and Grimbeard both did good reviews on this game. Glad to see a boomer shooter tuber like Civvie 11 trying it out.

Well, you’ll have to ask the person making that claim to begin with.

That implies I want to argue with somebody who is sealioning.

Linux Mint works great, but I’ve heard good things about Bazzite, too.

I agree. This time, it’s actually different. Big name streamers and YouTubers are showing their support. Not just people in the tech industry, but random channels like EmKay and PewDiePie.

Linux is better than ever. Steam is a breeze. Wine support has never been better.

Meanwhile, Windows has more nasty surprises, underhanded backstabs, and security nightmares than ever before.

Comment: The intent is to highlight the stupidity of the tariffs.

Your Reply: I don’t get it (as in, “I don’t get the intent… I don’t understand why tariffs are bad”)

Me: Explaining why tariffs are bad.

Your Reply: Nobody asked why tariffs are bad.

Me: <not sure if stupid, asshole, troll, or all three>

People dislike having to educate the same basic lessons over and over again, when it is very easy to search why tariffs are bad. It is not a community where people are going to spoonfeed you information that you didn’t even directly ask for.

The simple answer is because we live in a global economy and you can’t possible make everything that needs to be made in a single country. The more complex answer can be found by reading articles about it. Take this one, which was the first hit I found on a web search:

The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine.

Reserve your hate for Photoshop, the monthly subscription that is so overpriced they force $300-400 cancellation fees to keep them addicted. They are the only product in this space that deserves hate.
