KidDogDad, to technology in WhatsApp head confirms ads in the messaging app are still in the works

Can I ask why he wouldn’t use Signal?

What’s rule 1?

KidDogDad, to gaming in Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 1st

Haha yeah I was slightly confused why I wanted to play a different massive sprawling rpg but 🤷🏻‍♂️

KidDogDad, to gaming in Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 1st

I was playing a ton of Baldur’s Gate 3, but I decided I needed a break on it after getting to Act 3. I’m currently playing Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire for the first time and enjoying it.

KidDogDad, to gaming in Steam Hardware & Software Survey - Go Linux! :)

I use Garuda and love it, but I also don’t think it’s the best for a first Linux distro, unless you’re good with needing to consistently use the command line for things, and you are interested in learning more about Linux and want a distro that requires you to occasionally get your hands dirty.

From what I’ve seen, Linux Mint is a great first distro. If you want something that’s more purposed to gaming, then Nobara is great. It’s made by GloriousEggroll, who makes Proton-GE. It’s not going to be as new-user friendly as Mint, but more so than Garuda.

False alarm everyone. I run Garuda but have been playing around with Nobara and I filled it out on both distros on the same machine. Sorry to get everyone’s hopes up.

KidDogDad, to chat in Is the destruction of Twitter and Reddit a conspiracy or am I just paranoid?

This ^^. It turns out that Elon is just a narcissistic idiot who doesn’t actually have good business sense, at least in the software world. The types of things he’s been trying are better explained as someone who wants Twitter to make more money but doesn’t understand how people actually think and behave and doesn’t realize that these decisions will alienate users and destroy the product. Spez decisions seem similar, although on the whole I think he’s less of a people idiot than Elon, and is probably just under tons of pressure to improve the financials right now and is making bad short-sighted decisions as a result.

KidDogDad, to asklemmy in Wefwef question

I had to do it on the web interface. Go to the community and there should be an option to block it in the sidebar.

KidDogDad, to literature in Heist books?

Mistborn: The Final Empire! If I’m not mistaken, “heist book in fantasy setting” is literally one of the main things that inspired Brandon Sanderson to write this.

KidDogDad, to gaming in What are you playing this week?

I actually didn’t play the first one. I heard that the second one is better so I decided to skip the first one.

KidDogDad, to gaming in What are you playing this week?

I’ve been playing through Octopath Traveler 2 but I got a bit burnt out on it and wanted something different so I picked up Rimworld yesterday and am really liking it so far. Lost my first colony to starvation because I hunted all of the animals and then left them to rot! 😂

KidDogDad, to technology in Mastodon's Eugen Rochko in talks with Meta?!😱

Yep, agreed. I’ve signed multiple NDAs at my company recently just to evaluate some tools that have been on the market for years. It’s not what people seem to think it is.

KidDogDad, to technology in Mastodon's Eugen Rochko in talks with Meta?!😱

I'm genuinely confused why so many people are reacting so quickly to this news like it's the end of Mastodon. We can't conclude anything just by virtue of the fact that he signed an NDA. We don't know the terms of the NDA. It could simply be that he can't talk about Meta's specific plans.

More to the point, as the originator of the network and the one in charge of the source code, I feel like it's his responsibility to be informed of what companies like Meta are planning to do. If an NDA is the price of admission to that knowledge, and provided that the terms aren't egregious, he should go.

KidDogDad, to chat in My Reddit data dump came through today, and I stumbled across this post from 2015. I'd just like to tell you all that you're welcome.

Wow you invented the fediverse and you didn’t even know it!

KidDogDad, to science in The Effect of Self-Monitoring Limited Social Media Use on Psychological Well-Being

Curious how folks think that Beehaw, Kbin, etc fit into a study like this. Are they different, or should we also consider them to be in that category of apps that it would be beneficial to limit use of? Would Reddit be treated the same or different?
