Kinda wish we’d just leave blue (or off-variants like turquoise) lights for emergency vehicles only.

I like the idea of an indicator, just not the execution.

HP is like the facebook of printers. Hugely popular; absolute shit product.

Fedipedia?

I wouldn’t worry about a mascot so much as making the name instantly recognizable as an online encyclopedia. Keep it simple.

Threads is Meta, one of the largest corporate enshitifiers on the internet - the crap most of us fled from that landed us in the fediverse in the first place.

…it’s userbase is a relative ocean compared to the fediverse’s drop, so the immediate concern is being able to moderate the tsunami of submissions; the long term concern is that things go peachy at first and the fediverse becomes so intertwined with Meta that it becomes functionally dependent on it… and then Meta decides to pull the plug, effectively destroying the parts of the fediverse that didn’t defederate right out of the gate. This is called “EEE” or “embrace, extend, extinguish” as others have mentioned in this thread. It’s a shitty thing bigger tech can do to destroy budding competition before it has a chance to become actual competition. Google has a history of it, and a lot of folks here naively think Meta will for some reason handle things more ethically.

Grounded is the game I wish I had when I was 10. Basically “Honey I shrunk the kids” as a multiplayer survival-builder.

Couldn’t be any worse than the current model for televised news, which is 2-4 buzzword parrots all attempting to shout over each other without ever attempting to address what the others are saying.

Being human doesn’t make it good.

Wake me up when there’s a better medium than just plain text.

There’s a false dichotomy about about storing #DogShit in your refrigerator: don’t do it, or just smear it all over the entire interior.

I can’t speak to other appliances, but refrigerators offer a third option: partitioning the dog shit. This can be for anyone with a refrigerator.

• You can select a dedicated area for the dog shit, like the vegetable drawer; users will know it’s full of dog shit because of the warning provided by the smell.
• People who don’t open the vegetable drawer won’t have to see the dog shit.
• You’ll have to manually open the vegetable drawer to access the dog shit.

Basically, it puts the dog shit in quarantine, without taking up all the interior space for your food.

I like that option for our refrigerator, social.poop, and it’s the one we voted to implement earlier this year.

We know that dog shit already hosts biohazards (e.g., Giardia). We know that some reasonable folks have already stepped in it while attempting to dodge some other kind of shit.

This option makes it clear that dog shit isn’t safe to store in your fridge, while allowing coprophiles to do exactly that.

Every household will implement the option that makes sense to them, of course.

I’d rather roll the dice than endure a known supervillain. Best if the Russian people put Putin’s head on a pike themselves - send a loud and clear message to the next guy.

There won’t be peace in Ukraine -or Russia- until Putin is dead.

Current model doesn’t have one, but I find myself missing it frequently. 3.5mm jack will be a must on my next phone.

For real though, Thailand has been ages ahead of most countries in terms of gender dynamics… how is same sex marriage only just now becoming legal there?!

At first glance I thought this article was one of those “guys… a second plane just hit the Trade Center…” types of comically delayed reporting on an event that happened decades+ prior.

A win is a win, but damn, the pace we’re moving at would make a snail bored.

After it’s sent to the field, I don’t think it will be long before the Ukrainians give it a cool soot-colored finish and some fire details.

They’ve got a passion for applying this artistic talent to pretty much everything Putin sends them.

What creative people! We should send them more art supplies.

Roms and emulators!

Nintendo’s entire library from their first game THROUGH all of the N64 games are a grand total of like 60gb iirc, which will all easily fit on a modern phone.

Touch screen isn’t great for a lot of them, but it’s also surprisingly not horrible, so for mobile gaming it’s not bad, even for the more input intensive ones like the Zelda 64 games.

Whole time I was in basic, only saw one bastard with the balls to approach the dessert stand.

3 MTI’s were on him immediately with shit like

“WHAT’S YOUR PT SCORE, TRAINEE??!!”

This dude happened to be a fucking beast, so scoring a 100 barely made him break a sweat - so ofc he told them 100.

And in standard MTI sarcastic hyper-aggression: “OH WELL GO RIGHT AHEAD THEN, EAT THAT TRASH AND SEE HOW LONG YOU KEEP THAT SCORE! YOU ENJOY THAT, TRAINEE!!”

Dude replies “Yes sir!”, sits down facing the MTI table, and took his time eating a slice of cheesecake.

I don’t think that dude will ever enjoy a dessert more than he did that day lol.

Murgh makhani, or “butter chicken”. It’s an Indian curry dish that was straight up stolen from the gods.

Every time I go to an Indian restaurant I haven’t been to before, that’s the dish I order to judge whether that restaurant is worth revisiting.

When it’s done just right, mouthgasm guaranteed.

I just figured blocking the 500 or so furry communities was starting to pay off.

That’s the userbase.

Works well, since “tweets” have been rebranded as “X-crement”

We’ve been hooking kids on gambling since (at least) baseball cards, which -surprise!- were heavily lobbied to convince law makers to let it fly.

Consumers were doomed the instant we failed to torch and pitchfork that shit.

Very well said. I’ve jokingly referred to this type of content aggregation as “antisocial media” because of how the anonymity of our posts leaves the content itself to do the heavy lifting in terms of establishing credibility - which is perfect if you care more about the ‘what’ than the ‘who’.
