I think they mean a reddit-style starter pack of default subs. The fediverse is either a firehose, or you have to put in the work to curate your feed.

It’s not better or worse, just a difference that takes a minute to get used to.

There is some content that is better as a video. But turning what should be a one paragraph statement into a 15 minute video? Fuck that noise.

I don’t have a dog, but I can still recognize animal abuse when I see it.

That said, I think the reason you see this behavior highlighted in media is precisely because it’s so abnormal. Calling it out is the mainstream part, so not really that unpopular as far as opinions go, at least in my circles.

What I really don’t understand is how Microsoft has a near religious dedication to backwards compatibility at the technical level, but will move on to whatever next shiny object they see when it comes to compatibility at the user level.

Relearning the basic functionality of operating a computer every few years rests entirely on the end user, and never on the developer. It’s aggressively backwards.

It doesn’t work in the real world, but does PokePunch evolve into Harambe?

Hyper Links, even.

They make DRAM modules. There’s a built in incentive to pump up the idea that prices aren’t coming down, so you might as well buy now.

Depends how you want to engage with the world. If you want to follow topics, the fediverse is great. If you want to follow people, you go where those people are, which still might be fediverse, but maybe not.

Sorry, dude.

Best wishes to you that they walk an easier path.

Even then, it’s all worth it, and you’ll miss these days eventually.

In my experience, the “terrible twos” are a dream vacation compared to three-year-olds.

Hang in. It gets easier soon.

Is he saying the atmosphere is a shared resource that no nation should be filling with pollution?

It’s fascinating how close he is to getting it, while the world knows he never, never will.

Word is Josh Sawyer started working on a Fallout game, but couldn’t get Bethesda to let him call it “Fallout,” so things were reworked into a completely standalone game.

Now that MS wants more Fallout, they pressured Todd to loosen his grip, and the Sawyer game is back to its original intent. It’s still in development, but it has had some time to get actual work done, so it’s closer than if they just started last week.

Again, lots of whispers and rumors, so take that with as much salt as necessary.

I downvote off-topic and toxic content. Some people deserve to feel bad about what they put into the world.

No, no. Just announcing the policy makes Pete feel more like a man’s manly man.

In the same way a person could claim they were unlucky if their highly insured spouses kept dying.

Nobody wants that suspicion on them.

Look at this amateur with power steering, automatic choke, and an electric starter.

This is a good, easy-to-understand summary of the act and its consequences.

The even shorter tl;dr:
Registering to vote will become much more difficult for millions of people. Joe Blo should care because he might be affected, and even if not, many friends and neighbors will be. Trump cares because he believes that difficulty will be concentrated on women, minorities, and the socially disadvantaged in a way that is beneficial to him personally.

Anyone, regardless of party or other policy positions, who commits to sending this asshat to The Hague in January 2029 will get my vote.

Weird how unlimited time away from work and good, unlimited healthcare can extend a person’s life.

I wonder if there’s a lesson to be learned there…

Bowling for Soup got it right. High School never ends.
