So… It’s historically accurate? The “heart” symbol doesn’t really look like an actual heart and may have been modelled after a bum or a scrotum. Or the seed of a plant used as a contraceptive.

Anything cyberpunk usually fits that bill. Like Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix sounds and is ridiculous in many ways, but also has some insights on the rich taking over the media and prison system.

33 years ago. It has already been third of a century since 1990…

Laws and terms are for the poor. I am sure big players like miHoYo, Niantic and Game Freak (Pokemon Go/Scarler/Violet) already have their own agreements and would not be affected by this.

Can’t wait an indie developer to go bankrupt because the super secret algorithm counted updates as new installations and the developer gets billed multiple times for their whole player base.

For the search you need to know the instance someone is on, I have had the issue of knowing someone is using mastodon or compatible service and even their username, but not the inatance they’re on because I don’t know them personally.

The one largeish local instance that shut down recently had the covenant in the server description, until one day it wasn’t and the server shut down in a month.

Switching servers leaves a lot behind. You can only force your followers to be switched to the new account and export and reimport your own follows. But everything you had posted gets left behind. You can download the whole archive for yourself, but can not currently republish it from the new account.

Still it’s the best social media I have used this far and am expecting it became garbage in a few years now that it is getting popular, because they always do. But let’s have fun while it lasts.

Except you need to choose an instance, can not find your frienda because they chose another one and after a few weeks you find out the admin of your instance is quitting if you didn’t choose mastodon.social

That’s the difference, they hoard wealth and not currency. The value of assets do not go down when currency loses its value with inflation.

Wealthy have little to no cash that would lose value with inflation, they just buy everything on credit and have their wealth tied to assets and investments that probably gain value at least at the pace of inflation.

“smart” devices aka Internet asbestos

I have become so clumsy with the wires, it was less wasteful for me to buy wireless earbuds with wire only between them. The modern codecs are high quality and I only use them outside, so the nuance would be anyway lost.

Smart speakers I do not have. I feel weird talking to devices and I would have to do it in English because they support my native language poorly if at all. I’m not sure if they even are officially available here.

Everything unnecessarily connected to the Internet should have this on them, because they have very little security auditing and all support is dropped very early on the lifetime of the appliance. https://kissa.depili.fi/internet_asbestos_52x32_cmyk.pdf

I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.

I had The Hex a few years even installed, so I have tried it, but only after getting familiar with the style of Daniel Mullins’ games with Inscryption I pushed far enough to get interested. Still very clunky, but worth it.

Priorities shifted, “we’re doing good” became “we need to reduce the workforce” over weekend and most of the people who they would have liked to keep decided this is a good time to look for something new.

• Brick Experiment Channel testing Lego bricks and building remote controlled vehicles
• Technology Connections explaining how TVs, refridgerators, coin operated record players, LaserDisc and any kind of other technological stuff works
• Lemmino documentary type videos about all kinds of stuff, not many videos and hasn’t been posting for a while but the backlog is good
• Fredrik Knudsen documentary videos mostly about internet culture, also hasn’t posted for a while
• Obviously Tom Scott, but also the channels with his friends Matt and Tom (no new videos anymore, but has Citation Needed and Two of these people are lying) and Technical Difficulties
• Hbomberguy in depth videos about stuff
