  look at Mastodon and it’s practically what’s happening there. bot farms don’t even bother setting up their own servers, they just go to mastodon.social (by far the largest instance) and bot from there. and because .social refuses to have manual approval for each account, the problem keeps happening.

  A math equation: d/dx*2x (the derivative of 2x). Then, both d’s are crossed, and then both x’s, leaving 2 as the result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamepad for Linux Gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  can second 8BitDo, their stuff is awesome

  for 2D games (or games that are played with a d-pad rather), their Pro line is also very good! i have the Pro 2, and it works fantastic with Linux. idk about the Pro 3 but i can’t imagine it would be much different, and i heard the d-pad on that one is even better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A hypothesis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly i think part of the reason i’m a computer tinkerer now is my formative years were spent trying to run specific minecraft launchers, n64 emulators and other stuff on the family mac

  of course they are. they aid genocide abroad, why wouldn’t they do it at home too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Pennsylvania Ave. Ikea⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well, we know where we’re hosting Dashcon 3!

  it’s convenient too, i was needing new shoelaces!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people using the "þ" character?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  sure, but you have to think about accessibility (like screen readers)

  the iOS screen reader just read your last line as “sesides, it’s fun toe fuck around a ring little bit”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Us ❤️⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  tbh you should do the same if you have adults

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Krafton is now an 'AI-first company,' will spend $70 million on a GPU cluster to 'serve as the foundation for accelerating the implementation of agentic AI'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly for most people i feel like AI has already a solidified use, “the magic thing that answers all your questions and generates pretty pictures*”

  compare that to NFTs which had strictly no use for the average person. i think what we’re seeing with AI is quite different

  *(the fact that the answers and pictures are often garbage is irrelevant. as long as they’re good enough often enough, it has value to many people)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s not helped by the fact that there’s a bajillion websites claiming to be Eden’s website…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My AYN Thor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  half this community is “${game} released on steam!”, these are just as much ads as this post is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My AYN Thor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  often I think to myself “damn, i should buy one of these dual screen handhelds to emulate 3DS games!”

  …and then i remember that i have a 3DS lol

  Bro down bad so bad

  it’s nice to know that, to you, all we are is the last resort. the thing you’ll fuck when no one else wants to fuck you. just so long as you can drown yourself in beer to forget, of course.

  it’s so nice to know that 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think so⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it seems peertube removed the platform from the joinpeertube website, so that’s a relief at least

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Switch 2 NDK

  the Noftware Development Kit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework under fire for Omarchy/DHH/Hyprland support?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the problem with framework is that their products are quite a bit worse than their competitors (outside of repairability, ofc)

  you buy their stuff because you want to support them and their values

  …so what happens when their values aren’t worth supporting anymore?

  there are other repairable laptop manufacturers out there, not as hype-y as framework for sure but still repairable, like System76, Tuxedo, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Stop using Imgur for now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  haha yeah, im a quebecker :3

  tabarnak is a swear word in quebec french, and like pretty much all swear words in quebec french it comes from a religious word (in this case, tabernacle) - maybe that’s why it sounds kinda fantasy-ish?

  but you’re right lol, it really does sound like that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Stop using Imgur for now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it doesn’t even work for me lol

  either my instances CDN uses a UK server somewhere and that blocks it, or you just can’t post imgur images in comments

  i guess we are all british on this cursed day… 😔
