  it does but with Twitch it’s a constant battle. you can go for days or weeks on end and it’ll work great then boom a few days to a week and it won’t work anymore until the maintainers figure out yet another way to circumvent twitch ads.

  It just got to a point for me where I just stopped using twitch. I mean the site overall and the content/streamers have just gotten a lot worse in the past few years and there’s really nothing on there anymore worth watching.

  I thought the exact same thing when I watched the OSW Review of RE8 the other day. I thought it was still like a few months to a year away….then again it always seems like that with RE. I mean hell feels like 8 didn’t come out all that long ago.

  Welp looks like I can FINALLY put down Mewgenics for something else this weekend.

  you mean the social network whose CEO told users to simply stop posting on their platform when she refused to ban a publicly known racist and transphob from the platform? that social network? The social network whose users decided segregating themselves was the best way to use said platform? that one?

  Bluesky is a joke and its userbase are the punchline.

  yup, buy old rigs/laptops “for parts”. This is what I’ve been doing.

  Also go to thrift stores and look for old DVRs. you can take the HDs out of those and they’re usually in the 1tb range.

  Mainly i’ve been buying old laptops purely for the ram and ssds.

  where? I’ve lived in Dryden Ontario, Toronto, Kitchener, etc and I’ve NEVER met or known a single person that said they loved curling and watched it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But the Canadien stock market is over 33,000!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter in then cause….god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.

  in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.

  I loved the original Black & White way back in the day but I never really clicked with his other games, even Fable.

  I just remember the mini documentary that Tech TV had on him that they would repeat over and over. and even way back then he was getting called out on his over promising for his games. like the original Fable was a fraction of what he promised it would be.

  welp there ya go! problem solved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  sure they’re leaving but…where? what’s a viable alternative?

  I mean if I had it my way everyone would just go back to IRC, I still use IRC. it’s great, nothings changed, it’s perfect. combine that with like mumble or teamspeak and you’re good to go.

  I checked out Stoat lastnight and it’s very slow. took well over an hour to get a verification email (I assume because many others were signing up) and the current server offerings are minimal. Also a good majority of the themes listed simply don’t work. it’s growing and I’d say it’s the best alternative right now but it’s not there yet and I worry it or the various instances of it could hold up if there was a massive Discord exodus.

  Matrix is a no and xmpp ain’t much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  potentially. it’s going to become more of the norm as more nations enforce stuff like this to “protect the kids” coughget your id and know what you’re doing onlinecough

  Also keep in mind Discord is just about to launch their IPO in March so the timing lines up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI start showing ads in ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  they do. desperately. it’s been stated for awhile now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  doubt it. better off just setting up channels in libera chat on IRC and doin voice via teamspeak/mumble like we used to do it back in the day.

  shit, someone needs to bring back ICQ.

  yeah I don’t bother with DDG anymore. used to love it but now it’s just hot garbage. Now I just use a 4get instance and for news just use the brutalist report and spike.news

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Neocities founder stuck in chatbot hell after Bing blocked 1.5 million sites⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  pretty much. DDG for example uses a bing-yahoo “alliance thing” (can’t remember what it’s officially called but Microsoft and Yahoo have a sort of partnership in this regard).

  Your options for actual first party search options are literally pretty much the ones you listed. Yandex is russian so not trusting those guys anymore than I trust Google or Microsoft so that just leaves Yahoo which is…yeah.

  Honestly people are just better off using something like SearX or 4Get. they’re all the same except with those two you’re not going to get the AI slop or ads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK You can buy a @linux.com domain for email flex⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know a guy that has a @linux.com email address. And yes putting that email address on his CV and Linkedin has resulted in him getting emails daily from companies asking if he’d be interested in a position or interview. He’s even had people just straight up offer him a job because of it.

  Note though he’s a web developer and pretty much all the jobs offered or interviews etc are for positions out of his skillset i.e. system admin, server manager, IT, data analyst, etc. because they all see the linux part and figure he can run a server or something.
