maybe the blur is because the hand dryer was in motion when the pic was taken?

All-in-one my ass, it doesn’t even have a nub mouse

If there’s a silver lining here it’s that you can wait until there are enough interesting games to justify a purchase. If the switch 2’s lifecycle is comparably long as the original Switch’s, that backlog ain’t going anywhere.

No idea why people see that as a problem. It works fine on mobile web.

You cannot forbid forking a public GitHub repository, per their terms of service

Your lease says you can have one cat - you already have one cat. Unless you’re mentally and financially prepared to potentially find a new place to live in short order, I would recommend against violating your lease terms. Or at the very least ask your landlord first.

I think the hardware has a lot of promise, but it’s fair to say that at this very instant there aren’t many exclusives to justify it if you aren’t excited about Mario Kart.

If you have a backlog of Switch games, or you have favorites you’re frequently playing on Switch, the improved processing power and loading times could be attractive, even if your games don’t have resolution/framerate patches. For example, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition loads battles in a snap, and doesn’t have any framerate issues during gameplay anymore (although it is still capped at like 30 FPS in cutscenes, sadly.)

There’s a couple other neat things about it, but likely not too relevant to anyone who’s on the fence about the console.

Oh this is awesome. I can see so many cool applications for this in wearable electronics and custom form factor batteries. I hope their research into improving the voltage pays off.

Even though it’s a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn’t have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it…

Are mastodon users stupid or just on a which hunt?

After the point in time where you made the connection, you will see activity start coming in from their connections. So you should gradually see their followers populate as those people make new posts, which get federated to your instance through your connection to them.

Especially if the connection you made is the first time the remote instance has been interacted with, it’s going to look barren at first because there is basically no capability to sync history. You can think of it like an RSS feed.

(This is oversimplified - it’s possible that ActivityPub might allow for historical items to be synced just like RSS publishers can choose to include older data. I would speculate that it’s not commonly done for bandwidth reasons if it is possible.)

A downside to this is that if you’re trying to read through historical posts (from before you made the connection) you will have to click through to the hosting instance to get a complete view.

An upside to this is that because you only see content posted after the connection is established, you are guaranteed to be seeing new posts from active users.

Some nerd probably wanted to be able to say they literally decimated their management teams

Vampire Survivors is $5, and I got like 90 hours out of it without buying any DLC.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe by default IRC is only logged if the client opts to log it. I don’t remember being able to see message history when joining a channel back in the day, so I’m not sure if servers themselves keep logs by default.

Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.

No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I’d seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.

Honestly, as long as the collision lets you walk over it smoothly without getting caught in the gap between the terrain and the object, I think this is fine. Having it flush or overlapping would probably lead to z-fighting or other weird collision bugs.

As divisive as it would be, I think that would be a good thing overall…

It reminds me of the literacy test to use Kingdom of Loathing’s chat features.

If they were any more inbred, they’d be a sandwich.

if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.

Was that supposed to speak to some part of my comment…?

It seems like a complete non sequitur to me.
