Mastodon has protocol level issues that prevent it from being fully mainstream though.

As long as people move out of Twitter, I count it as a win. Especially when we get official government stuff out of there - which won’t happen for the US, but the rest of us have a chance

Twitter started dying when they closed the API

Bluesky’s is perfectly operational

By not letting a Russian asset buy it

The problem with matter is that EVERY update to a device must be certified and that costs money.

So brands are sticking with the proprietary hub model so they can iterate faster

I’m just making popcorn for the show when leopards start eating faces

Any M-series Mac will do too

“Western” countries don’t have a way to deal with the handful of truly irredeemable criminals. They will not and cannot be members of society ever.

But what do we do with them? Lock them up forever? Kill them? Nobody knows.

Age no, experience, lots and lots.

There is a difference between 40 and 44 year olds and 19 and 15 year olds besides the mathematical age gap, dude.

He can be, but they won’t.

The common people are the ones who overthrow the dictator eventually

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

Any game in that genre combined with local and remote multiplayer would be a hit

A Mac is not a Windows PC

The last time I turned off my Mac Mini was when we moved. The time before that was when my UPS battery died and I had to swap a new one in.

I do reboot it though, but why would I bother turning it off?

The previous model has it in the back, you can’t even feel it properly because it’s not recessed.

On the other hand the last time I turned off my M1 mini was when we moved. It’s 100% silent and takes less power than a lightbulb when it sleeps, so why would I bother powering it off.

You can get cheaper options with 10G nics in the same form factor

I choose the Platypus

And all maps have fake streets in them so you can tell when someone copied it

But usually the retention departments have the most leeway to give you discounts 😀

Just call and threaten to cancel and suddenly you get 50% off for 6 months or something.

(Works very well with Audible, the further you go in the cancel flow on the website, the bigger discounts you get - you can repeat the “I quit” threat about once a year.)

People should be of legal age before officially joining a religion.

You’re acting like Wikipedia talk pages and especially news site comment sections are some bastions of discourse 😆

They’re all cesspools of shit that don’t bring any joy to anyone except trolls, pedants and energy vampires
