Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.
I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

A “young girl” would be a “child,” And multiple young girls would be children. 🤨
The Fourth Great Awakening is the worst thing to have happened to modern America.
I’m not really surprised. Nintendo tends to run on its own schedule. They also might be hoping the yen strengthens so it won’t cost them as much to produce new consoles. Knowing Nintendo, they’ll want to have enough in stock to not have supply problems like Sony did with the PS5.
An autocorrect typo.
IIRC, though, that wasn’t Sony’s decision - WB yanked the licenses because they wanted those shows to only be on their streaming platform.
So it’s just irony that Sony is doing the same thing now.
You know what say: if buying isn’t owning then pirating isn’t stealing.
The irony of using ChatGPT for this of all articles.
Trump is being told repeatedly that shutting up is free, and yet he still keeps flapping his jaws.
Maybe stop going out of your way to help continue a genocide, Joe.
Well, that’s certainly a reaction.
R F Kuang is American and Xiran Jay Zhao is Canadian. They write in English.
I think they just forgot to capitalize the A. Whoops.
Exactly. Yosemite has said they have a hard time coming up with bear-proof trash cans just because “there is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists,” and those dumbest tourists who can’t figure out a trash can vote.
That requires someone in business to think beyond the next quarter’s profits.
I feel like the endgame of this is that eventually all Microsoft exclusives will only be available on GamePass.
I’ve stopped using Google Maps for walking directions and use Apple Maps instead. Whenever I use Google Maps, it gave me the most winding, dark backstreet walking route possible, but the same way on Apple Maps was really straightforward.
I really feel like Google is overall degrading.
I’ve posted things on sexism in STEM before, so I can say: no, it is not. I almost didn’t post this precisely because of how bad the comments were to those posts. Hope foolishly sprung eternal.
Facebook is probably as close as we’ll get to a western “everything app.” They kind of missed the window, though, which is another thing Elon doesn’t seem to realize - the big eastern “everything apps” were there as people were starting to switch to doing things on their phones, so the ecosystems grew around them as things were developing (especially WeChat). Elon’s coming in trying to turn Twitter into an everything app nearly ten years too late.
The big difference between Twitter and all those other apps, as someone who has used both KakaoTalk and Line, is that they didn’t start out as social media posting apps - they were just chat messaging apps for talking to your friends, not the world. Then they added payment for things like buying stamps or sending friends money. From there, once they had established payment methods and users that trusted them, they started slowly adding services people thought were useful. The ecosystems built up organically over time. No one planned for them to be everything apps or tried to force it on the apps and users. They became those because they adapted to how people were using the internet on their phones.
Which is exactly what the Republicans wanted.
