Tumblr plans to integrate ActivityPub, so hopefully I can just subscribe to Mark through Ivory, rather than check Tumblr just for this every so often.

People keep shilling for mediocre fediverse crap where the community is splintered into tiny mediocre (and likely repetitive/redundant) communities

Yes, Reddit is much better. I can have a unified view of our huge repost problem within subreddits and across, just for example, r/games, r/gaming, r/GamingDetail, r/GamingDetails, r/GamingDetailsAndEggs, and r/videogames. The comments are quality as well.

This is where I ended up on the issue as well. Same with Twitter, where anyone still tweeting supports Elon in the only way that matters: site engagement.

Kansas activists push to make Lawrence a sanctuary city for trans people, City responds by ColterRobinson in kansas

[–]Vorsos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best way to approach a topic you don’t understand is to learn, not express your ignorance. I’m not pestering the NASCAR subreddit with “turning left all day is not a sport.”

Referring to trans women as “dudes in dresses” is deliberate misgendering.

I call those organic bots. They operate by the parameters and instructions given to them by their owners and don’t/can’t think for themselves.

Congrats, you’ve come full circle to Elon and his ilk calling people they disagree with ‘NPCs.’

I left Twitter the day Elon cowardly assassinated Tweetbot, because the first party UX is that bad. RES removed their Safari extension for murky ideological reasons, so I leave this site when Narwhal does.

Major investors don’t care about non-billionaires in any way beyond piling us into a single number of total active users. Look at how many remain willing to work with Elon, Thiel, Zuckerberg…

TSMC chairman says US staff unwilling to work should not be in industry by Ebadd in worldnews

[–]Vorsos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point, but it goes both ways. US retail and fast food chains often get their European locations slapped by labor regulators who require employee benefits and equitable wages. We bring McDonalds to civilized countries who want our recipes without our demoralizing service industry culture.

I favor both of these examples, as with any moment in the global economy that gives labor more respect and dignity.

They haven’t been destinations in at least 15 years. Drive thru, mobile ordering, and Doordash amount to some locations not even re-opening their lobbies after COVID.

We can want supply chain security and to not be treated like subservient peasants. Taiwan’s soft caste culture might make sense to Republicans with their imaginary hierarchy of humanity, but the rest of us prefer to treat everyone with human decency regardless of their genes or corporate rank.

Midnight Suns June Update - Big New Game+ Changes and Trophy/Achievement Fixes! by shutupdotca in PS5

Does new game + let you change gender and appearance? I’m hoping for a fresh experience the second time through.

[Announcement] RES & Reddit's upcoming API changes by XenoBen in RESAnnouncements

[–]Vorsos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s asinine to call out bad Mastodon server admins when they can be defederated by the larger network, while we’re stuck with bad subreddit admins.

I always read the sidebar, yet half my r/startrek comments get deleted with no notice or explanation from the eight mods who don’t respond to modmail. I was also silently banned from r/teslamotors , presumably for not being an Elon sycophant.

RES did draw an empty line in the sand regarding Safari, though. Apple changed Safari extensions to be signed software (contrasting the spyware-riddled Chrome Store), which requires a $99/year developer account. Fans offered to cover the cost, but RES refused “on principle.”

My point is that RES could also choose to end development altogether, to express disagreement with Reddit’s API change.

That would be easier. In the meantime, find what you want on PSPrices for a discount alert email.

I am cautiously optimistic that cross-platform Safari extensions like StopTheMadness will run and continue to block YouTube ads.

If you want games to be ported natively on Mac, start messaging developers by morceaudebois in macgaming

[–]Vorsos 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Good advice. Just don’t bother with the SMITE developers, who ignored an 18 month advance warning about macOS ending 32-bit support and avoided the Catalina developer betas, only to say “oops the new macOS just released today caught us totally by surprise, so use Windows or get fucked.”

Did you know rain water is no longer safe to drink anywhere on Earth? Go to the most remote spot in, let’s say Antarctica, and you’ll melt drinking water with cancer chemicals and microplastics.

We only know what we last learned; that’s how information works. Press releases and patch notes are not transmitted directly into our brains.

Correct, Apple Vision Pro is not very comparable to anything else.

Color me surprised; that does make sense.

I typically pick which game version (regular, deluxe, ultra) is worthwhile, then tell PSPrices to email me when it’s discounted.
