taking a break from Baulders Gate 3 due to a bad DMing event, and picked CP2077 back up for the Phantom Liberty DLC

Infrastructure I think. The last few waves of invites have brought instability to the system if i recall

I think I’ve seen Orbital Potato on YouTube cover a few games that might come close to that idea

There will always be someone who is either arrogant, greedy, or dumb enough to do anything.

I’ve stopped being a reader on Twitter and rarely interact with anything there, but I have a big chunk of my audience still there, so it’s still part of my posting schedule.

getting an audience to move is about as easy as asking a fish to fly. It’s much easier to just post on as many different platforms as we can.

that sounds like just plain old paranoia and fear mongering

luckily, he has minimal influence over SpaceX, and only really provide high level direction. Same with Tesla.

Twitter, though… the turnaround time on his whims is staggering

let’s talk about Ruby

Ruby like most programming languages doesn’t support bare words, [undefined variable exception]

but if you define a particular method_missing, suddenly Ruby supports bare words. [ruby repeating what was typed]

Now this isn’t deserving of wat. this actually shows just how awesome Ruby is. [Drummer_t-rex.jpg]

audiences will rarely move from platform to platform. For content creators, we have to go to where our audience is, or provide an incentive to move elsewhere. That’s the main reason why there hasn’t been a decent competitor to YouTube, Twitter, nor Twitch. The audiences there are entrenched.

I only call my friends and family if it’s time sensitive or urgent.

At least in Canada, rabies vaccines are legally mandated

This is what I’m thinking of doing. Lets me host my own content and not rely on other instances to stay alive.

Canada is a bit on the weird side too. For us companies can either advertise what their drug does, or advertise their name, but not both.

People use different platforms for different reasons.

I personally use Lemmy because it’s currently the best alternative to Reddit. I use Discord because it’s the most popular instant messaging platform, and I haven’t had issues with it. I’m currently looking for a replacement for Twitter/X as I’m not confident with the way that platform is headed.

Yep, one of the platforms I’m looking at, and seems to be the second best contender for me. Tumblr of all places is where I’m feeling most at home

I don’t understand this argument about antitrust laws. As far as i know Google hasn’t done anything to block other companies from making their own search engines or browsers. Nor does Value and Steam, nor Microsoft and Windows.

As a web developer, EdgeHTML was the source of so many bugs, including a few that were regressions, and it didn’t seem like Microsoft dedicated enough resources to the Edge project.

the second point feels highly suspect as most internet traffic is encrypted these days, and all ISPs could analyze is the domain you’re talking too, and the amount of traffic to each

ISO 8601 is the only correct way to format timestamps.

As a different Canadian, I always use YYYY-MM-DD and a 24 hour clock.

Timezone is optional, and when missing is read as local time.

Zeragamba, 10 months ago

luckily Local time can be any timezone!

Zeragamba, 10 months ago

nearly forgot that 8601 has support for durations as well

I concur. Sync has been amazing to use.
