is it just me, or is every resource like “stop being lazy and organize! but don’t work with the legacy orgs, they are feckless! Organize!”. I want to to do more action but i have no clue where to begin and this message does not help me. i have social anxiety, i’m not going to go stand on a corner by myself protesting and hoping strangers join me.

don’t be ridiculous, it was obviously immigrants that did it. All of them. They all went to one big Zoom call to coordinate it.

right there with you. but seeing them scrambling after being so smug about their overpriced product has been nice.

MN here. “Minnesota Nice” is a term used here to refer to passive-aggressive niceness and our collective inability to face conflict head on. Many MN Nice moms might bake cookies for a friend after a cancer diagnosis, but then still vote for the Republicans that are slashing funding for cancer research. The disconnect between pretty manners and ugly politics is very stark. Huge political divide between the Twin Cites/Duluth and the rest of the state.

hell yeah! I’ve been meaning to do this same thing with my partner, go through UFO50 overall because there’s a surprising number of co-op experiences.

yohoho!!! 🏴‍☠️🦜

I think it would be hard to find a NUC that costs the same or less and still performs the same as the Steam Deck. You could maybe get there with a custom-built SFFPC, but it would be tricky.

i think we’re getting there. The new ASUS ROG Ally is shipping with Steam OS and official Steam OS support, and I think this is just the beginning. If this partnership goes smoothly, I think Valve will open up the floodgates to other manufacturers doing similar stuff. And I think this will include a new wave of “Steam Machines”.

LTT deliberately fucked over a small boutique water cooling shop. They had a host if other fuckery that needed to be exposed. Why would GN chill out when LTT was doing stuff that directly opposed GN’s pro-consumer and pro-small business values?

What drama has GN stirred up that wasn’t warranted?

Omg finally a positive piece of news. happy for all the thai couples! they deserve to be happy!!

Ah sweet, so it’s only 99% fucked! Now I can go back to sharing misleading news stories in peace.

always good to have the real cheddar

Scientists openly warned senators to approve RFK* jr. for secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

FTFY

Elon, after Trump finally gets sick of him using the presidential toilet for the hundredth time.

I’m a little lost. Pixelfed is already a decentralized photosharing service, and they already run Pixelfed.social. So what is Loops? An app?

Nothing else to say.

Flashes itself is based on Berlin developer Sebastian Vogelsang’s earlier app, Skeets, his initial foray into creating consumer-facing apps for the growing social network, Bluesky, which now tops 27.5 million users.

While Bluesky offers its own official mobile client, Skeets differentiated itself by focusing on the needs of iPad users as well as customized accessibility features for blind and low-vision users, as that’s one of Vogelsang’s areas of expertise.

Okay so this is coming from someone other than Bluesky the company, which is very promising for Bluesky’s ongoing decentralization.

a mark of a truly open platform. lol

I saw a YT comment that said “I feel like this is like peeking at your presents before Christmas then pretending to be surprised on Christmas day” and that’s where I’m at. Basically all rumors confirmed, in the best way. Looking forward to those magnetic joycons 🙏
