Gone Home is pretty neat. I usually need secondary gameplay loop to placate my short attention span but this one gripped me through presentation and atmosphere alone.

Not game-specific but those types of games certainly were a big factor.
I used to love playing with my school friends. Yet slowly but surely they became very toxic to play with as they became bitter in adulthood. Now I only play single player and stick to text chats with them.

yup, this hits the nail on the head for me. I consider myself very tech literate; I am my family's IT guy. I even have Mint installed in a separate drive but I seldom use it unless I have nothing else to do for an afternoon. And the reason is that the more I know about windows (be it editing the registry, troubleshooting services, learning diagnostics tools...) the less comparatively capable I feel in a linux environment. It's like moving countries after I spent my whole life learning this city and I could't even speak my native language anymore. Yeah I know it works out of the box and there's wine and I can make my UX the same. But, going back to my metaphor, that feels like moving to a different country and just not leaving my house and only talking to the people I knew back home. Yeah it would be the same if I severely constrict my comfort zone. You just have to learn a bunch of new shit and leave all you know behind and that's just one distro. Because YEAH linux isn't an OS it's a whole family of operating systems. The nerd yelling that it's a kernel is right in the worst way possible. I can learn Mint but I can form an opinion on Linux because I still wouldn't know shit about Arch or Fedora or Gentoo or what-have-you. It's all very daunting and what I have is functional. No, not "functional enough". This does literally everything I want in less than 4 clicks, everything is plug-and-play, everything works out of the box (and if it doesn't you're sure as shit it wouldn't work out of the box on linux), my knowledge on windows is applicable on every machine I find, it's the system everyone expects me to have (I'm fucking sure the software my uni made me install for online tests wouldn't have a Linux installer). It's not just that the path of least resistance points to mac/windows, Linux as a whole also has very potent repelling field. I still want to learn it but not because I see any practical value/utility in it.

my guess is that they were working on it in the background and when musk bought tw they started pouring way more resources into it and turned it into a standalone app

Mastodon has a system that verifies an account's possession of another webpage. So that could help with company accounts.

yeah because when you send pictures of amazing food to your friends you're terrorizing them

[–] cyberian_khatru@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, I always thought that was just a wider internet thing. Like an instagram hashtag or something. At least it's better than "food terrorism" which is what they call it in japanese.

I used to use tusky when I made my account way back and I remember that being good. After returning this year I decided to buy fedilab and it's very good.

I say 'spez', as an adjective, should denote a level of degradation similar to that of a cum box with live fungi growing out of it.

I'm more of a mergers&acquisitions type of guy

I always unlock these, if only to visualize taps. USB debugging is also cool because of scrcpy, a program that allows you to see and control your phone from your pc.

all the best users

Lol they don't care about quality. They just want drones to pump those engagement numbers. In fact, us leaving behooves them, since we're the thinking users with high standards. This is something I noticed with late game enshittification: no one complains anymore because those who remain are either numb or dim. The process itself filters for the perfect userbase.

Spez was just kind of dumb for trying to rush the process. 1 month lul
