I literally just opened Geometry Dash and was met with a terms of service pop up.
"…Why are they showing me this? Did my data get wiped or something?"
And then I see the Tower and realize that 2.2 just released.
Glad to finally see it here. Played through Dash (which is really easy for an insane imo, beat it much more quickly than usual), and it was mostly great! Only issue is that I REALLY don't like the swing copter. It's not fun to use at all.
I’ll start. Not to toot my own horn but I feel I’m at least partially responsible for getting a friend to see the value of romantic love, which she managed to find!
DAMMIT! We had plans to see some of our most COVID-cautious friends between Xmas and NYE. They don't do much, wear masks, and won't see their grandkids' Xmas concerts for safety. Then she tells us she's going to the salon that week--in what will probably be one of the most dangerous, high-transmission weeks in 2 years!? So, we've canceled with them.
Why is it so hard to make sane, appropriate decisions on elective activities during a #COVID19 surge?! Risk your long-term health over a haircut?!
To my English reading tootline, sorry for all the political messages you are reading these days.
As a matter of fact, president Macron has been elected twice with a small majority of the electoral vote, against a far-right candidate, with the explicit promise that he would be the dam against far-right.
Tonight, he is ready to have a law passed that drastically restricts the rights of foreign people in France, under a warm round of applause of the far-right he had pledged to contain.
This is a sad night for France.
This is a sad night for democracy.
This is a sad night for the world.
I cannot for the life of me come up with anything useful or interesting to contribute to this hashtag (I’ll keep thinking!). However I’d love to hear anything my friends might want to share - you are all so clever and interesting!
See linked post for more information.
(If you share something, don’t forget to use the hashtag and set visibility to public so others can find and enjoy it too!) 😊
OK so #Reddit search has always sucked.
It has sucked especially in the New Reddit era.
Now, they have deployed the Even Newer Reddit user interface.
One of my biggest use cases of Reddit was "what are people in various communities talking about this particular video"?
In Old.Reddit, you could at least see crossposts in the unlikely case that the YouTube URL was somehow equivalent to the actual URL posted to Reddit. You know, because YouTube videos could be called upon by many requests, and Reddit fucking gave no shit about any URL normalisation.
But they at least let you see if anyone had crossposted shit.
Apparently, the New New User Interface fucking doesn't even let you do that. I tried searching for a particular video that was already posted in particular communities. Nothing.
Tried Google Search to find this particular thing. OK, found it.
Slapped "old." to it. "6 discussions."
That's it. Reddit was already shit at finding discussions about particular YouTube videos if you didn't use old.reddit. The new Reddit interface at least pretended the crossposts were there. Crossposts no longer are there. Why the fuck do people even follow the site any more.
I ll start : I have been following a pretty known tech/Linux journalist, and always found he is a fun dude to listen to, with interesting tech takes...
Just curious: what do you all make sure you DON'T post when you're posting (e.g., photos of yourself, any indication of location, any mention of a last name, any mention of how many bodies are in your basement)?
And do you set your posts to expire after a certain amount of time?
I'm just curious how cautious people are when sharing on Mastodon/the Fediverse.
Actually dating people's from the Fedi is not such a bad idea, since most people post their true selves in here due to the anonymity
If you like someone by the way they interact on here and how they speak about stuff in this space, it won't be any worse IRL
I once dated someone from here and it was an animal experience
We are still friends

Glad to see the entire #fediverse roadmap for Threads laid out. Mastodon and other Fediverse users will be able to follow Threads users and vice versa. You will also be able to see comments from Fediverse users on your federated posts in Threads.
The long term goal is to allow people to take their followers with them from Threads to other Fediverse apps. The last one is huge and wasn’t on my radar. 🤯

I'm no girl, but there are many girls, and non-binary people (and more) all over the Fediverse. @vantablack, @lisamelton, and many many others are here and contribute, daily, towards a better Fediverse.
It wouldn't be the same without them and I don't get where someone at The Verge ( @nilaypatel ) got the ideia that the Fediverse is made with, by, and for men (only). @FediPacthttps://tech.lgbt/@FediPact/111585213233072117
With Meta beginning to test federation, there's a lot of discussion as to whether we should preemptively defederate with Threads. I made a post about the question, and it seems that opinions differ a lot among people on Kbin. There were a lot of arguments for and against regarding ads, privacy, and content quality, but I don't...
