Mixture of people who use the same linux distro as me (gentoo), FOSS devs and people I find using hashtags with my interests in them (RPG & JRPG games, movies, sports, etc.)
Edit: also called steeznson on there, instance is glasgow.social if you want to find me
I don’t have a reddit account and only comment on lemmy. Although I do check the reddit frontpage every so often the actual communities I interact with are here.
Other than that, I have a mastodon account which I’m quite active on and a letterboxd too. Last thing would be linkedin but I don’t post there and maybe login to it once a quarter.
If Donkey Kong doesn’t have a rap in this game I’m going to riot
Nothing is private on Fediverse. Everything is public so that there is maximum interoperability between applications and instances of the same application. I’ve seen people use this image to describe what the “security” is like for DMs -
Yeah people get played by their biological urges and evolutionary psychology throughout the entire process. Even newborn babies are programmed to scream intermittently so that the parents are never well rested, and this is theorized to be to prevent the parents from producing another baby in quick succession who takes attention from baby #1.
I did an online IQ test once but it only consisted of the pattern matching questions, there were like 10 of them and it took 5 mins to complete. This is all a long way of saying I’m pouring shade on its methodology because I got a low score.
This is the 2nd video MVG has done on back compat. See the other one here.
James Bond games have a storied and mixed pedigree. It’s been a long time since the highs of Goldeneye N64 and Nightfire on PS2!
I’m always kind of rooting for them to be good but I’ve not bought any for decades.
France is particularly patriotic out of Western countries I’ve visited. Not an expert but it’s a bit of a hangover from the French revolution, they have a strong focus on integration and preserving their shared culture.
IMO it’s ban/block evasion which is the biggest con to decentralization. It’s a problem on centralized platforms but the many servers design makes it easier on fediverse.
It’s not a huge deal to me because I don’t block many things but might be a consideration for people with a sensitive disposition.
Hard to have a nuanced opinion on this issue since I’m not directly affected by it. From what I can observe some of my gay friends use slurs in a humourous way to make light of the reality that not everyone in society is cool with them being themselves. They seem to enjoy being transgressive and think they have a license to do so in this case (I’d probably argue that they do). idk maybe “reclaiming” was the wrong phrase; it’s more like gallows humour or something.
Ah fuck I just posted this one without double checking no one else had.
Anyway, how did Mike Jones not end up working in advertising getting so many people to remember a random phone #?
Mike Jones had such a promising career after getting a fairly large segment of the population to remember a phone number he rapped - 218-330-8004.
He got sunk by a beef after releasing 1 album IIRC
That game looked fine to me tbh. I think it might have been the point that their yearly release schedule had begun to saturate the brand as opposed to the games getting worse.
Is that the Call Of Doggy one? To be honest I’ve only actually finished COD4.
I’ve noticed some of my gay friends try to “reclaim” slurs while others treat the words as taboo. Seems like a matter of personal preference to me.
Best movie I’ll never watch again
I loved the bait and switch where all the marketing suggested it would be a John Wick rip off but the movie turned out to be a lot more original
“Social media” is a really vague term. I think there are broadly 3 categories:
Web2.0 social media: facebook, twitter, discord, reddit
Forums: Old school web fora, (mastodon & lemmy?)
Debateable social media: IRC, email chains/threads
Only the first category is relatively new and has captured the attention of the general public outside of nerds. The other two are either decentralised or are niche centralised sites. IMO it seems like the web 2.0 stuff is most problematic but not sure if it’s the hyper-centralisation or their general popularity that is the issue.
