Tbh, No Mans Sky and Starfield have little in common except being space games. Starfield isn’t a space exploration / space sim game. It’s an RPG set in space. Starfield has more of a storyline and characters then No Man’s Sky, they’re different games for different people

I believe Super Mario Wonder has Mario voiced by a new actor, and I don’t think it’s Chris Pratt

It would be if there wasn’t a very simple way to completely disable pocket

And the CEO is Emil Sutovsky, who recently made a twitter poll, basically asking, let’s be honest, does anyone actually care to watch this women’s tournament? When he never made a similar poll for any other tournament.
The chess world really needs to outgrow the sexist and transphobic FIDE

If it’s active users increased I’d be surprised, but if it’s not I wouldn’t be, most people probably don’t delete accounts when they stop using them

The 2 biggest psychopaths join forces, true crime people, and tech bros

There have been testflights (Apple betas) for the pixelfed app, so it’s in development. Unsure about the quality of 3rd party apps though

Yeah, like pretty much all platforms on the fediverse, they’re not owned by large companies, and don’t try ads or selling user data for profit

Honestly, this is really good to hear! More mainstream accounts will definitely get the fediverse a bit more credibility.

And here’s a bit more from BBC:

The team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the Fediverse.

This is an experiment - we will run it for 6 months, and then look at how much value it has provided, how much work it requires to maintain and then decide whether and how to continue. We’re learning as we go, and we’ll write about what we discover in the hope that it might be useful for others. The BBC will continue its normal social media activity in the usual places.

We’re starting off small with just a handful of accounts from R&D and our colleagues at BBC Radio, but we hope to be adding more accounts from other areas of the BBC soon:

• @BBCRD@social.bbc
  
  

• @BBC5Live@social.bbc
  
  

• @BBCRadio4@social.bbc
  
  

• @BBC_News_Labs@social.bbc
  
  

• @BBCTaster@social.bbc
  
  

• @Connected_Studio@social.bbc

Any recommendations? I use firefox, but haven’t quite moved from google search yet. Last I heard DuckDuckGo was doing some shady stuff, but that was a while ago

If that was the only place you could get pride books? Sure

But I can only assume that there are other pride books around the library, and I think having a designated pride section is good for those who want it.

Agreed, if somebody is spam downvoting comments (Which is honestly quite the pathetic act), then people should be able to see that, and block/report them

I don’t like when people say “AI just traces/photobashes art.” Because that simply isn’t what happens.

But I do very much wish there was some sort of opt-out process, but ultimately any attempt at that just wouldn’t work

This is great inspiration for my Gay Space Communism-Punk world

“average person kills 1 cops in their life” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person kills 0 cops per year. Cops dais, who lives in cave & killed 7 billione, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

“Our logo is our most recognizable asset. That’s why we’re so protective of it.” -Twitter’s (Currently Outdated) Brand Toolkit Page

Do you mean Mark? Or is there a Jack at Meta that I haven’t heard about

Ah, that’s fair. Do you think you’ve changed your mind on it, or do you believe that it’s sort of a con of these platforms?

People seem to grasp onto weaknesses AI has now and say that they will have them forever, like how text AI lies, and image generation AI can’t draw hands.

But these AIs are advancing unimaginably quick, 2 years ago generated text was pretty bad, becoming pretty incoherent, and 1 year ago generated images were mostly strange mush.
