What if Zuck comes out of his lizard hole and utters the word:

FEDIVERSE.

to proclaim that Meta, formally known as Facebook, is now changing their name to Fedi.

Yeah this seems false. SD cards are unreliable, hard to keep track of, and don’t actually store that much data for the price. I do think they use tapes though to store long term, low traffic data.

I use Feeder for everything. Blogs, websites, (formerly) subreddits, and YouTube channels. RSS for YouTube is bigly clutch. My feed is chronological, not filled with random crap, and ad free.

I just tried to access it and I get redirection errors. I guess they didn’t account for integration testing during their most recent sprint.

For shows, Battlestar Galactica is always great. I just started watching Caprica and loving it so far. It might not be an “opera”, but it does so much to fill out the Battlestar Galactica universe.

I also just started reading The Expanse series and would definitely recommend it, even for someone like me who’s not an avid reader.

Not sure if it’s related, but the EU does seem quite interested in the #fediverse. See the EU Commission’s official #Mastodon account: @EU_Commission

Mastodon’s filter option doesn’t work all that well. I have it turned on and I still get stuff in other languages with the tags that I follow. I don’t mind it much since Mastodon has a translation feature.

I’m just honest with myself. I like what I post, so I like my post!

Honestly, Bing is unironically good. I started using it because I wanted to play around with Bing Chat back when that was in beta. Before that I was a believer in more privacy focused search. It’s funny, since they limit the chat to Edge I never even use it.

This is why I subscribe to the NYT and in a way Minnmax (for games journalism). If you can afford it, news (no matter what sector) is too important not to pay for.

Spicy one right here. Hits me right in the artificial heart.

Usually it’s included alongside the bluray editions. I’m not sure if it’s included on Peacock (the only streaming platform that has BSG). Also, it’s not really “miniseries”. It’s more like an extended episode zero that sets up all the characters going into main series. Honestly, IMO, it’s critical for maximum enjoyment of the early series.

I wrote up a watch guide for the series over on /m/bsg:

Come on over to /m/bsg when you do! We’re planning on having a BSG rewatch discussion sometime soon!

With out the “miniseries” you go in without any context as to what’s happened to humanity, no? Like, doesn’t the miniseries set up Roslin as president and explain her cancer? Without details like that I would just be confused going into “33”.

So say we all.

My cliche unpopular opinion is that Battlestar Galactica is a more interesting and well thought out story/universe than Star Wars.

Sony isn’t just a gaming company though. They sell all kinds of home electronics and cameras. They also have their entire film and music divisions, not to mention their banking any insurance subsidiaries. Nintendo is the only platform holder that is just a gaming company.

You make a good point about the blow to creative freedom. Exclusivity doesn’t seem to correlate with innovation anymore (sans Nintendo). Even if you look at Sony, with its massive lead in quality first-party exclusives, the majority are gritty narrative third-person action games. They are easy to market because they have a compelling story, are mechanically simple to appeal to a wider audience, and are relatively short to lower the commitment.

Consolidation will kill creativity in the long term. Just look at the post-Disney MCU/Star Wars film industry. Games will surely follow, given the way things are headed.

Edit:
Disclaimer - Just my opinion and I play on PlayStation/Nintendo/PC.

Crazy idea, but maybe we just shouldn’t allow big ass companies to buy other big ass companies.
