Could make sense. If they’re smart, they’re trying to get a cut of the “exclusive Discord”, patreon, Substack kind of money flow.

If they’re wildly stupid, they’ll try to take over and paywall popular existing subreddits.

See, that’s much closer to “(It was) my pleasure”, which is a valid English response (though these days it puts people in the mind of “Chick-fil-A employee”) than it is “You’re welcome”.

I feel you’ve missed the point I was making and assumed I’ve made another. Age number and year number are different. You’re in your first year when your age is not yet 1. You’re in your second year when your age is between 1 and 2.

Years follow numbers as in "this year was the first/second/third year of ", not “this year was the year turned X years old”

The language is rooted in the same logic as people. Your first year was between the ages of 0 and 1. The first year before you were born is between -1 and 0. There is no 0th year because 0 is a point in time and not a range in time.

Love the CEO sketches! And they’re not even in the top five things Brennan has done, probably!

Kailh box royals baby! Get the beefiest tactile feedback and avoid the high pitched noise.

I always sort of read those jokes as illustrative as GLaDOS being a bad person fielding weak material more than like, an earnest expression of the game writer’s values. Like, the game itself doesn’t present the remarks themselves as funny so much as GLaDOS being rude, snippy, and actively incorrect given that Chell is mega-fit.

There’s an irony to comparing it to a Lovecraftian tale, considering how racist the guy was, and how his stories allegorically supported racism.

Yes, I do 20USD/mo, I think, because I’ve taken up what I’ve been calling “Secular Tithing” in the last few years, and Wikimedia and its ventures were useful learning and research tools for my undergrad and highschool. Less so during my master’s, but that’s just how that goes.

Too bad (for them) the newer version of Tweetdeck was ✨worse✨ than the old one.

A good number of those subreddits became breeding grounds for not-so-subtle racist dogwhistling, so I don’t really miss them.

A lot of the others sort of ran through the actually good, viable content before expanding to being less good (/r/YoutubeHaiku basically dropping the ‘unscripted’ requirement and becoming essentially, short-form skits and streamer clips). I tend to follow people with content I like directly on TikTok and Youtube these days. Aggregators of content tend to go either generic or toxic, I find.

Ooh yeah. I wasn’t going to jump through that weird whitelist process to get that twitter blueblocker on Firefox for Android, but not I don’t have to!

Ooh, I have a file that crashes 1.2 every time I try to move an element in it. I wonder if it’ll handle it properly, now.

It’s a thing, yeah. Disney acquired them in the mid-90s. Pretty reliably top 3 in viewership numbers, just above Fox and Fox News, who round out the top 5.

Friend’s bookclub has been working through The Locked Tomb trilogy which has been fun (both to read and to watch other people encounter).

Outside of that, I’ve been slowly working my way through The Knot Book (about mathematical topology, not kinky stuff), a book about “The Shambhala guide to Sufism”, and “Inside Scientology”.

I’ve been going through library books trying to find something at least somewhat straightforward about the modern Sufis and their beliefs/texts/rituals, but all the books I’ve encountered so far seem to be way more concerned with the historical lens of “Westerners through the centuries trying to grapple with the concept of Sufism and disagreeing with each other about what it is”.

Ooh, nice. I hope this means Boost for Lemmy’s release isn’t that far behind!

People have mentioned most of the good ones (Scrivener, Resolve, Steam, Discord), but I must grudgingly nod to OneNote.

There are competitors in the note-taking space, yes, but none of them get handwriting down like OneNote has for 15+ years, now.

The instance I wanted to join was Lemmy. That’s pretty much it.

The Pokemon go plus+ (yes it’s two pluses) is a little device, sorta like a flattened PokeBall, rather than a service.
