Sweet. Thanks for the details!

VRChat is still slowly growing in the background.

The metaverse that was the hype you despise isn’t the metaverse people in VRChat want. Mark really destroyed the term.

The releases/changelog have been weird for a little while now on the PWA.

I feared mine would get broken too, but so far I’m ok. I’m on iOS.

Anyone have insight into why the changelog has been weird? And there was a set of updates that seemed to do nothing recently?

Edit: going back and viewing the recent releases in GitHub they don’t look “blank” or weird or duplicate like they were… maybe they were all hand fixed? - I stand by the feeling that recently things have been odd. I had the user vote tracking appear in the PWA multiple updates before it showed up in the changelog.

I would not have guessed that reply guys replying to really popular accounts would ever check if their reply is a duplicate.

I didn’t catch that this is why Alec stopped posting there. I assumed he was just being sensitive to being a public figure in general.

When you make a channel that is filled with “well actually” and “turns out.” You should expect your audience is into doing the same.

And when you don’t have an algorithm filtering these for you… well, then you get the reality of other people’s interactions. Twitter just optionally hides this reality from big accounts. (I’m talking about what they use to label “low quality replies” or something similar.)

The federation issues of replies/boosts/hearts/etc are still a big bummer, though.

They want an algorithm.

As much as people mock it, or know it’s the source of why social media optimizes for outrage and other unhealthy behaviors, the algorithm is what they are missing on Mastodon.

As someone who always used third party Twitter apps, and never directly saw the algorithm in my timeline, mastodon feels like Twitter always did.

I want to start using this.

I knew this was Ian Bogost before I clicked the link.

They are doing good! They just had their 17th birthday!

Best internet cat.

Same here. Including when silent is off.

Damn. Thats impressive.

Major security/privacy holes in any technology should cause “recalls” too. 🤔

Wild!

Oooo. Will it be automatic? Or do you need to pass a flag?

It would be neat to know precisely what parts are expensive. Broad generalizations about how prices on goods go up and down aren’t quite as interesting. 😅

This is the second service in as many weeks to be shut down offering this service, right?

Severance is really special. There is a season two coming, but it was delayed for a variety of reasons.

The updated graphics do look super pretty. This is a classic, and if this keeps new people playing it into the future that’s awesome.

I think of remasters/remakes like this like I do brand new 4k HDR remasters of classic movies. Since they are shorter focused narrative games.

Hey fucker, this is beautiful.

“Apologies for the oversight, here is the corrected version that includes what you were asking for…”

And a poor package manager.
