Well the south might as well retake the north now.

People have survived without tools like this for thousands upon thousands of years. I think we can afford to wait a few more until there’s a privacy-respecting method behind it. I know we won’t, but I’m sure we could have.

EU won’t get it until April.

Couldn’t I just block whatever account throws in advertising?

I’m not sure. I haven’t subscribed yet.

Can’t afford two extra spaces to turn that comma into a “and”, apparently.

Or domestic?

Not a fan of whatever that D-pad is. I’m also curious about the battery life.

Thrilled to see twin touchpads though.

The more handheld PCs get made, the more I become aware of just how ahead of the curve Steam was with their deck design. I actually thought it looked gaudy as hell when it launched, but since using it, I can’t get over just how unexpectedly handy anything is. I just wish there were better haptics, since I’m kind of a sucker for that kind of stuff.

I started using Fedia.io

As of a few minutes ago I’m getting a 502 Bad Gateway error and having flashbacks….

I was thinking East when I wrote west. Something is wrong with my brain.

You mean 1,000 sq kms of East Ukraine?

Edit: I need help with my cardinal directions.

Not even for the betterment of humanity would I dare venture into such places…

I just made an account on Fedia, but I’ll sign up for brain bin as well later. I think my username might suit that instance.

Just made an account. I need time to go through and set up my subscriptions.

I actually miss the microblog integration on vanilla kbin, but I don’t think we’ll ever get that back.

I might just finally give up and settle on lemmy. There are a lot of really good apps for it these days.

Well I started on kbin.social, migrated to kbin.run…

Are there any other servers anyone would like me to ruin?

I downloaded and registered for a Flipboard account way back when it was first created. At that time, it was just a news aggregator that felt more like a magazine because of how the page turn animations worked. It was nice because at that time there were no issues with entire articles getting fed into the reader, and it was a dream come true for iPad users in the early days.

These days, you can only read the first few sentences of an from the app and then you have to tap a link to go to the actual, often cookie-walled, website to read any more of the article.

On top of that, people who post comments in Flipboard tend to get insanely toxic. Like facebook-levels of insane hot takes.

For those reason, I don’t really interact with it as much and I’ve considered removing it from time to time. The reason I don’t is because I’m curious about how this fediverse thing will work out for it.

I do not think developers should be compelled to add single player modes to multiplayer games, but I do think that server software should be open sourced as a multiplayer game is shuttered. I believe the studio is entitled to royalties if a server host is profiting from their discontinued game, but I also think that servers for discontinued games should be allowed to be run as nonprofit, charging only as much as necessary to keep the server active and healthy, and not be charged royalties.

I say this having not watched any discussion on the topic, nor knowing anything about how any of this works.

I bought an Apple Watch for anything but fitness. If I happen to get a little anxiety, the watch will pipe up to mention something about my heart rate, and that usually just makes the anxiety worse.

A side thought: what would the world look like if you needed to be 18+ to make a social media account?
