I’m very intrigued, Dan Sup is one of the most interesting people working in the fediverse these days, and I’m very curious about anything he puts forward.

I’ve been a big Bethesda fan for years, no one else makes games that quite come close to their very simulationist style. I like Starfield, and now that it’s a year after launch I have finally found my angle on it to get the enjoyment out of it that I wanted. I think it’s a good game.
But it’s also a flawed game, it’s clearly not for you, and that’s okay too.

What exactly happened for the name to be changed from Kbin to Mbin? I missed that plot point.

server costs were not the biggest reason, it was down to salary costs

The tech savvy will just buy a Raspberry Pi and install yunohost on it.

They’re molded to the hands really well but the analogue stick is entirely plastic and digs into your thumb really easily!

- Comment on The Terrible Costs of a Phone-Based Childhood 8 months ago:
Hey, don’t just blame the parents. In the back half of this article the author points out that social media harms youth no matter if their parents let them use it or not because of the social webs it creates. If you choose to keep your child off social media then they could just as easily end up isolated from their peers because everyone else IS using it.

This article strikes at a very salient set of points about smartphones and social media. As someone that specifically tries to only use federated social media because it avoids some of these dark patterns, I certainly agree with. I also use my smartphone without any notifications turned on, ever.
Unfortunately the author has a few paragraphs that miss the mark and strike me as coming from more of a centrist or right-wing “kids these days are too soft” which feels very off-base and disconnected from the issue. For example:
This is why life on college campuses changed so suddenly when Gen Z arrived, beginning around 2014. Students began requesting “safe spaces” and trigger warnings. They were highly sensitive to “microaggressions” and sometimes claimed that words were “violence.”
The scare quotes around microagressions, a genuine issue faced my marginalized communities, is really uncomfortable and gives an unfortunate perspective on some of where this author is coming from.
Putting that aside, I really do feel like most of what is said here is on point. Reducing social media use is imperative. Designing smartphone UX that doesn’t shove notifications at you would also be a good idea. Getting younger people involved in communities and forming friendships is incredibly important.
- Comment on YouTube stops recommending videos when signed out of Google 8 months ago:
As with what others are saying here, pulling out algo nonsense is good, however I do worry that it slowly devolves into something similar to what’s happening with Twitter where you can barely look at anything without being pushed to login. It’s unusable unless you have an account. Websites shouldn’t operate like that.
- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 8 months ago:
I will say unlike Reddit I find the best experience on here tends to be sorting posts by newest comments so that way discussion pushes things to the front of my page. There’s still too little content for sorting things by Top in various different communities to be worth the time. I suppose this turns it into more of an old-school forum homepage in a way.
- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 8 months ago:
I definitely really like the quality of discussion on Lemmy, it makes me feel like it’s actually worthwhile to comment and discuss things again. It feels like how it felt when I started using reddit back in 2012 or so.

Literally backed by Jack Dorsey and crypto bullshit. Fuck off.
- Comment on Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services 8 months ago:
And with it dying I think that’s probably the last time I’ll look at Twitter. If something isn’t publicly available on something like Mastodon it isn’t worth making an account to see.
