Raft is incredibly fun. and an incredible time devourer.

it’s entirely grammatically correct

eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh. the a/an rule is based on the first sound (phone?) of the word, not the spelling. hence “an hour”, for example, where the H is silent, but “a heist” where it’s voiced.

yeah, although using a password manager as a 2FA provider sort of negates the “2F” part.

it also sort-of-kind-of-little-bit-of works with Misskey/Calckey. I don’t think any official work has been done to enable support, but you can login with your account and browse posts.

friendly reminder that Luddites weren’t opposed to technology, just wary of its misuse and how it was going to benefit the people higher up rather than the workers.

one admin told them that. some of them have actually met with Meta after signing an NDA earlier this week.

Google actually pulls results from web pages.

you know how some smartphone keyboards predict the next word that you’re going to use, and you can form a comprehensible sentence that sometimes even makes sense? that’s what those language models do. they don’t actually search for anything, they just create sequences of words that sound probable.

a “search engine” that hallucinates results, including but not limited to non-existent court cases.

Any Nintendo fans

looks like there are:

!nintendoSwitch@kbin.social
!nintendo@kbin.social
!nintendo@lemmy.world

to choose from.
wait, .world is one that Beehaw has defederated from, hasn’t it?

and PixelFed, Pleroma, Akkoma, Miskey, Calckey, Goto Social, OwnCast, Funkwhale, Mobilizon, Bookwyrm, Friendica, WriteFreely, and probably a bunch more.

usually once you get into a hobby or a field that’s interesting for you, you’ll just stumble upon them. either someone from a community will recommend a website directly, or you’ll notice that people link to a particular website often when discussing things, or it gets mentioned in a Youtube video about the topic, or it’ll simply pop up in your search results. you can find bunch of interesting stuff by, well, being interested in stuff.

I usually find that adding a website/blog that I visit frequently (i.e. find interesting) works pretty well.

…how are we supposed to figure out what you find “interesting”?

apparently some Mastodon admins got contacted by Meta and met with them after signing an NDA. I’m quite surprised how many Masto admins want to “just wait and see, maybe it’s not gonna be that bad”.

and here I thought “fun?” stood for Funtoo

people kept saying similar stuff about Mastodon, and yet, miraculously, its user base somehow keeps growing.

Lemmy needs two things to be successful:

1. users
2. users

and it’s already getting more and more of each of those.
