You’ve sold me on it! I’m gonna have to play it now

Literally

It’s not about protecting the children nor has it ever been

This is a very short sighted view of the situation at hand.

The banning of books and literal re-writing of history in certain states should be concerning for anyone who realizes what a dark road we’re headed down.

I love Quake and have for years but it’s definitely sad to see how barren the franchise has become and the ways that QuakeCon has changed from what it once was

Hoping this a fun watch though!

The explainer may be sincere; however, it is clear that privacy and an open web are not in Google’s interests. They contradict that sentiment in the explainer entirely. There’s 0 reason for any one to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Good to know! Didn’t realize at first it was just their marketing term for Resizable BAR lol TIL

• For 1, all motherboards should work with both AMD and Nvidia GPU.
• For 2, you can mix and match, there are some benefits to using both an AMD CPU and GPU, namely Smart Access Memory
• For 3, AMD’s naming is confusing as hell but basically they used to have R3, R5, R9, etc for different tiers of cards, but now everything goes under the “RX” naming prefix.
• They use the X and XT suffix to differentiate the fastest versions of the same tiers of cards or revisions of cards. (Kind of like Nvidia’s TI suffix)
• The equivalent of a 4070 is a RX 6950 XT as far as I’m aware.

I think a replay of all 3 games is in the cards soon! I’m ready to be hurt again

I’m cautiously optimistic on the expansion. I enjoyed the game for what it was and I’m excited to replay it with the big free update that overhauls everything + the DLC

Buy it! It’s so fun and for 15 bucks it’s a deal

If you haven’t already, 100% look into software modding it, you’ll thank us later!

I NEED IT

I’ve been eyeballing this for a good while guess it’s time to pull the trigger now

Wait and do a new playthrough as others have said since it’s going to overhaul various things in the base game! I’m going to do that myself haha

I’m extremely excited for this game. I was legitimately blown away by the deep dive today!

I’ve been playing TOTK more, some Fortnite, and Street Fighter 6!

As far as I understand that’s correct. I’ve got a solid junior level understand of programming LOL but ActivityPub acts as an interface basically where instead of the content being walled off to Instagram specifically this new Threads app should be accessible by the outside world (Mastadon, Lemmy, whatever else) through ActivityPub. Those apps would get the content through requests to the interface. So you could theoretically migrate your content just like you can on other Fediverse apps.

I’m right there hoping with you and I think this very well could be a big turning point as they’ll be the first major player, to my knowledge, to incorporate anything Fediverse into their ecosystem.

My other big hope is that the process of signing up for sites like Lemmy, Mastadon, and other Fediverse apps is improved so that more people can navigate it easily. As you said, right now the UX is pretty bad and can be frustrating even for veteran users of the internet. My biggest frustration, like many, when signing up for Mastadon was trying to choose a server and the way the Servers page is structured made it ten times more difficult I felt like because it’s just a giant list of servers that are sorted by category.

I think with a really great UX and simplified UI for the sign-up process that would go a long way to not turning people away. I imagine a literal walk through of the whole process, step by step, with lots of hand holding and tool-tips pointing to things in case someone gets confused.

I love the aspect of it being tied to ActivityPub and I do still utilize Instagram primarily as a way to communicate with friends and family, so I’m willing to give it a try. However, I don’t think it will replace the love I have for Mastadon or be able to match the aspects of Mastadon that I really enjoy: the positive communities, personalization, no algorithm, etc.

I’d highly recommend Mastadon, I love it and joined it before I ever discovered Lemmy. I love how personalized it is. I follow hashtags for things that interest me and follow cool people that I’ve randomly found on there. It’s a nice, quaint, and positive community it seems. At least thus far.
