Between threads and blue sky, the non-cultists are leaving in droves.
I wonder how much the two cult sites fight over the same users.
- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 6 days ago:
Yeah but they’re fighting over the inevitable ad revenue.

it’s spicy rocks all the way down.

Y’all are way too nice. I’m pumping a 60Hz square wave right into that thing at max volume.

The same thing, from the Silmarillion:
The love of Finwë and Míriel was great and glad, for it began in the Blessed Realm in the Days of Bliss. But in the bearing of her son Míriel was consumed in spirit and body; and after his birth she yearned for release from the labour of living. And when she had named him, she said to
Finwë: ‘Never again shall I bear child; for strength that would have nourished the life of many has gone forth into Fëanor.’
[They try to heal her and even the gods fail at it]
‘It is indeed unhappy,’ said Míriel, ‘and I would weep, if I were not so weary. But hold me blameless in this, and in all that may come after.’
She went then to the gardens of Lórien and lay down to sleep; but though she seemed to sleep, her
spirit indeed departed from her body, and passed in silence to the halls of Mandos.

- Comment on Jack Black is what happens when the class clown doesn't become depressed and instead becomes even more of a clown 4 weeks ago:
He has a personal armed guard that’s legally obligated to keep him safe., way more resources to make that happen, and is very likely riddled with brain worms. Not a great meat sack to compare a sane person to.

Yeah, now say that on a literal stage, with a microphone, in front of thousands, while the whole thing is being recorded.
Oh and you’re famous enough that it would be trivial for a pissed off crazy person with a gun to figure out where you and your children live.
I’m certain the first thing that came to mind wasn’t money.

Nope. If you want control over what’s getting done to your software, you’ve got to take ownership of it, or you might get changes in your fixes you’re not happy with.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
Not a lot of options there. You either go with an old pre-computer car or get an open source car (which isn’t really an option).
I’m not talking about the infotainment system, just to be clear. I’m talking about the software that controls the functions of the drive and safety systems. If you want an infotainment system that you have complete control over, I’d suggest putting an open source tablet on your dash
Sadly, it looks like most of the FOSS car infotainment projects died a few years ago.

I don’t think y’all understand. Software is never done, it just becomes abandoned. You have been a “tester” for every piece of software you’ve ever used. And that’s a good thing, because the alternative is you get stuck with whatever the first version is. No one wants dead software.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
Well, it’s because it’s an old car company doing software, something they’re universally bad at.
- Comment on I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. 1 month ago:
It really is saying something that it’s waaay worse now.

exactly.

Software that never gets updated isn’t a good thing. Even the Voyager probes still get software updates.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
A Tesla always updates over the air (I suppose unless that’s the part that’s broken). It’s arguably the most important safety feature on a car mostly defined by its software. I have a ten year old chevy that needs a software update, but like you said I’ll need to make an appointment to have someone else download it and manually install that software for me, which sounds super archaic and dumb when it’s spelled out like that.

IDK if you’re familiar with the Anime, but in this scene the 5 year old green hair kid is pointing at his favorite super hero and crying because he just got the news he’ll never have a super power.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
At some point Pithos stopped working, or started working poorly, and I switched to Spotify. The integration with multiple audio sinks that let’s you play on any number of networked speakers is a killer feature for me. I loved Pandora but Spotify is a better Pandora (and admittedly more expensive).

What If “healer” was assigned at random at the start of a match of no one picks it, healers weren’t on either team, land were scored separately by how many people they revived?

I’m going to need you to provide examples so that I can replicate your experiment and verify your findings. Please feel free to post adorable grumpy bad and shocked teapot at your earliest convenience.

Or the opposite even! We replaced a mouse’s blood with artificial sweetener and that mouse died of super cancer. Ergo, artificial sweetener will give you super cancer.

The competition is trash. Other game stores spent their money on enshitification and they’re reaping the rewards of that choice.
