Killing Floor. I’ll probably be playing that game till the day I die.

what a stupid way to die

This and the way Mastodon handles likes/favorites are the biggest things holding them back right now, IMO. People don’t want to bother with a social media they actually have to put in the work to curate themselves, hell the algorithm is one of the main reasons why TikTok is so successful. Also, by having favorites (which is… weird and confusing? Just call it “likes”, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel here). Not only do people get confused between favoriting something and bookmarking something, but since it’s only counting the favorites from your instance, it makes it look like posts are getting barely any interaction, giving this “screaming into the void” feeling that will cause a lot of users to lose interest. The number of likes favorites needs to be cumulative across instances.

I was more so commenting on how painted road lines here become nearly invisible when it rains. AFAIK, a lot of self driving tech relies on visible road lines to direct itself, but maybe the tech is good enough now to where it doesn’t really matter.

In any case, I guess it can’t be much worse than how the human drivers here handle things, lol.

Damn, never even realized he was in an Ace Ventura movie. What an explosive career.

lord, this soul is beyond saving

Can’t wait for even the slightest rain to totally cripple the entire fleet.

Just give us 2143 already.

Man, that sucks. I hope they can reopen at a new location if they do get pushed out.

It’s on the Series X/S and the PS5. They’re bringing it to the previous console generation now.

I used trakt.tv, Jellyfin has a great plugin for it.

I’m not watching any of it until Bob Iger takes a pay cut and pays his writers.

Me, every time I hear about a new Star Wars show

It’s quite… shapely?

ProTip: you can easily deflate a car’s tires by placing a small pebble in the valve cap before screwing it back on

UP changing their minds could also have something to do with the Brightline’s apparent success in Florida.

I say bring it on. The more reasons to avoid taking 35, the better.

Prob just another exclusivity deal.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see “following” as an endorsement at all. To me, it’s an incredibly passive action which affects nothing but a near-meaningless internet number and the content which shows up in your feed. For example, I follow over 3000 accounts on one of my social media profiles. Do my views need to perfectly align with every single one of those? When does it become not okay to follow someone?

My point is, people can follow a page for a multitude of reasons. I follow several online accounts and politicians specifically because I disagree with the content they post. I personally think it’s better to know what your enemy is up to rather than to stick your head in the sand and pretend they don’t exist. I would hope that doesn’t make me a bad person, but there are many people online who apparently think otherwise 🤷

Scumbaggery aside, I find it incredibly disheartening that just following an account these days is enough to warrant having a giant red target painted on you. I really despise what social media has done to us.
