a friend is trying to get me to play the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV

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?

'Irreconcilable Differences' by me

asininetech.com/2021/07/31/irr

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: asininetech.com/2021/07/31/irr

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.

has someone done the FF14 copypasta but for Destiny 2 instead

checking out the latest games, like *squints* nVidia Control Panel

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.

imagine a kobold standing on a stool in front of the kitchen sink, doing the dishes while it yips tunelessly to itself and wiggles its hips in time with the imaginary music

masto meta 

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 💻🌐📅 wayback-classic.nfshost.com

already looks like a better representation of the cyberpunk genre than anything CDPR has put out
