and as my second little brain-teaser to get you going: why *is* there a social consensus that we ought to tolerate the widespread use of cars? why *do* we accept the genuine risk to human life that cars pose? 99.99% of human history, people lived without cars, why do we consider the widespread use of cars to be an unimpeachable constant of our existence?

My thoughts on the Mastodon iOS app and the frustrations within with a side of our long standing problems with Gargron.
mastodev, meta
I thought about posting a lengthy thread expressing my thoughts on the problems with the recent "official" app and the overall direction of the Mastodon project, but this blogpost by @packetcat summarises everything I have to say about it: https://asininetech.com/2021/07/31/irreconcilable-differences/
disclaimer: I don't actually know if that's all still in the game with them vaulting some destinations, I haven't touched D2 in a while
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Destiny 2? With New Light you can play through the entirety of the Red War campaign and the Warmind and Curse of Osiris expansions plus all PvP activities for free with no restrictions on playtime.
If you go to the about page for your Mastodon instance and click the "try a mobile app" it takes you to a page that prominently features the iOS app which lacks support for core features of the platform. Seems like if a big part of what your instance offers is the local TL, your about page shouldn't link to a mobile app that has such an incomplete experience.

ive seen people suggest that the ios app thing means it's time to jump ship and... idk? i don't feel like the ios app itself matters because there were already plenty of apps, some of them good i hear. and gargron has made it clear before that he doesn't like any feature that doesn't look good on an instance the size of m.s (personally that's how i read the timeline thing, not "it's not like twitter wahh")
personally I would like if it didn't have rgb skull gamer branding, but that's a minor gripe in a decent-looking machine
having the CPU and most of the I/O in a socketable module is pretty cool, and it would make upgrades extremely simple
doesn't look like a bad option for a SFF gaming PC, actually (except I'd personally prefer Ryzen lol)
Here’s that CGI application I’ve been working on; a work-in-progress, basic HTML frontend to the Wayback Machine, for browsing the old web straight from an old browser, including the Wayback Machine’s site search 💻🌐📅 http://wayback-classic.nfshost.com
this is a really interesting machine https://youtu.be/7TmarTLH6uc
already looks like a better representation of the cyberpunk genre than anything CDPR has put out
okay, heck, Stray looks amazing, I wanna play as a cat https://youtu.be/P4l6uWxe-vk
