I got a BlueSky account so I'll be able to shitpost however the chips fall

This place is certainly more technical (I mean, I am also on the infosec exchange server) but BSky captured the shitpost vibes of Twitter better AND has horny posting, which even if you don't like horny, it's well established that porn wins the format wars

I'll keep both active for now

I'm not like a devout communist or whatever but the enshitification of tech products puts a final nail in whatever coffin says capitalism breeds better products. Things are actively backsliding this year.

If I click a Mastodon link, it's always in another instance, and it doesn't open in the official app, I have to copy the link and paste it into the app search, which is it's too much work for me even as I do it, is going to be a deal breaker for anyone not caring about the text

Watching The Last of Us tv show and they opened the second episode with another pre-infection scene following a scientist in Indonesia close to what's presumably Patient Zero

While I trust modern science could resolve a similar outbreak/disease, Covid-19 has left me jaded about how successful any effort would work in practice

There are still people pretending the vaccine gave them some Parkinsons-like shaking issue for clout in right-wing circles

>Suicide Squad vs Justice League is gonna be a Games as a Service game

Fucking hell, I am so tired of modern games monetization. I'm tired of games that have no need to be played forever turned into these live service jobs

It's not necessary. I'm not gonna buy it. If every game turns into some live service bullshit I will stop looking at new games and stick to my old ones

TV Show 2

His Dark Materials S3

It seemed like a pretty faithful adaptation of the source material but the gap between S2 and 3 seemed to sap the energy and enjoyment of this series, at least for me

I finished the season but truthfully could have been fine with ending at Season 2

6/10
