A “young girl” would be a “child,” And multiple young girls would be children. 🤨

I’m not really surprised. Nintendo tends to run on its own schedule. They also might be hoping the yen strengthens so it won’t cost them as much to produce new consoles. Knowing Nintendo, they’ll want to have enough in stock to not have supply problems like Sony did with the PS5.

An autocorrect typo.

IIRC, though, that wasn’t Sony’s decision - WB yanked the licenses because they wanted those shows to only be on their streaming platform.

So it’s just irony that Sony is doing the same thing now.

You know what say: if buying isn’t owning then pirating isn’t stealing.

The irony of using ChatGPT for this of all articles.

I think they just forgot to capitalize the A. Whoops.

That requires someone in business to think beyond the next quarter’s profits.

I’ve stopped using Google Maps for walking directions and use Apple Maps instead. Whenever I use Google Maps, it gave me the most winding, dark backstreet walking route possible, but the same way on Apple Maps was really straightforward.

I really feel like Google is overall degrading.

I’ve posted things on sexism in STEM before, so I can say: no, it is not. I almost didn’t post this precisely because of how bad the comments were to those posts. Hope foolishly sprung eternal.

Facebook is probably as close as we’ll get to a western “everything app.” They kind of missed the window, though, which is another thing Elon doesn’t seem to realize - the big eastern “everything apps” were there as people were starting to switch to doing things on their phones, so the ecosystems grew around them as things were developing (especially WeChat). Elon’s coming in trying to turn Twitter into an everything app nearly ten years too late.

The big difference between Twitter and all those other apps, as someone who has used both KakaoTalk and Line, is that they didn’t start out as social media posting apps - they were just chat messaging apps for talking to your friends, not the world. Then they added payment for things like buying stamps or sending friends money. From there, once they had established payment methods and users that trusted them, they started slowly adding services people thought were useful. The ecosystems built up organically over time. No one planned for them to be everything apps or tried to force it on the apps and users. They became those because they adapted to how people were using the internet on their phones.

Thing is, it probably won’t. MySpace is still around. LiveJournal is still around. Big social media platforms don’t tend to stop existing. But they do stop being culturally and socially relevant, and that’s what I hope comes sooner rather than later to Twitter: irrelevancy.

Well, yeah. The problem is folks don’t listen to us. They might listen to data.

Yeah, so, remember how the train workers wanted to strike because they knew the way things were going, there would be more train derailments and accidents, and Biden quashed it? About that.

I am so, so tired of this tedious man child.

That’s why I didn’t use the 404 one. That article was a bit much with the goatse, even blurred.

So how exactly was she “engaging state security,” by teaching about Uyghur culture?!

They’ve been on Mastodon for a while - since 2017. That likely made it easier for them to decide to switch over completely.

It’s the second largest market after the US, but Elon cares so little about it that half the new things since they rebranded haven’t even been translated - my Twitter is in Japanese, and the new “repost” is in English, as are all the descriptions in settings.

It’s going to take a while, but they’re going to lose a lot of the Jp market at this rate.
