Probably just that. As an ESL, I never encountered or taught about em dash. I would use semicolons they way OP uses those weid longer dashes. Probably the em dash is better / more “proper” way.

This is where I feel piefed is better for onboarding new threadiverse users, from reddit or elsewhere.

On sign up, they ask you for some topics you’d like to see, ask about how you want to see US politics being in your feed, and lastly they have set topics feed already that you can choose to view.

Personally I think piefed is the next good iteration of the threadiverse. It’s an in between of having to curate your feeds on your own (Lemmy and mbin) and algorithmic feed (reddit and other thread based social media).

Desktop use is already good, although personally I’d like Tesseract front end support. Mobile still needs to be picked up by more apps personally. Interstellar is good, but I like the “read on scroll” and “hide read posts” from Thunder. Despite that though, it’s also good already on mobile browsers

Adjacent to an e-reader, but Microsoft tried that. Typical Microsoft fashion, they fumbled it.

When bluesky blew up last year almost instantly people made block lists, curated feeds list, etc of the sort. All built in. As much shit bluesky is getting for their wrongdoings, they did make very useful good things too.

Although I have to admit I’m not a big microblogs user. I mostly follow illustrators on Twitter and bluesky, not for hot takes

Not often enough

They were better when they were a piracy site, price not withstanding

The hottest gambling house right now 😀

I’m surprised and not surprised I guess that there’s a business offering to write Wikipedia articles like this. I suppose it’s naivety to think that Wikipedia articles are written with good intentions.

Advocates of the speciality coffee movement want to share the joy of elevating coffee from a daily medication to a highly pleasurable and nuanced experience that can be full of variety, and simultaneously respect for the plant and the process of bringing great beans into our home kitchens.

I respect that, since I’m already grinding my own specialty beans, albeit only using an aeropress. But at the same time, I’m not turning my nose up on the simpler “ignorant” joy of instant coffee., simply because I learned, made, and tasted more and more specialty coffee. Or “instant” anything from hobbies / movement that want to share the joy of elevating [insert thing here].

After rereading your comment, I see it. My bad.

Back when the world is simpler (because I was young and ignorant mostly) Moscow shocked me too. Had to study there for a few years and despite their gruff outward look they are some of the friendliest I’ve met at that time.

Only exception is riding the metro/tram during rush hour. Those babushkas aren’t playing around and will tackle you down

I think it’s odd in the sense that it’s supposed to be software so it should already know what 36 plus 59 is in a picosecond, instead of doing mental arithmetics like we do

At least that’s my takeaway

I doubt this is because of the recent tariffs. Nintendo is a cold calculating bastard of an old corpo they must have planned this for years.

So my assumption this isn’t caused by that but just pure greed.

No doubt they’ll jack up the price more because of orange fuckhead pissing to the wind

I wish the steam deck is smaller NGL.

Or even offered officially to purchase in my country.

I got flack in a group chat for being highly cynical that the games industry, at least the “AAA” publishers, will adopt the new pricing standard.

Nintendo is doing it. They can use a flimsy excuse that they are using a stupid proprietary cart. Gamefreak was already doing it to save cost on higher storage carts. Even then they ship unoptimized shit and people lap it up like swines

GTA 6 will definitely be $100 and have no flimsy excuse

Ubitencent will get to it eventually I reckon after they finish fucking each other

No, not all. It’s a an option. Basically yubikey DRM

Like even the game carts have a few choices for storage. For example, Pokemon pearl and diamond remake were notorious to go with the smaller storage carts where half the game is only downloadable

Yes CDPR is going to put an understandably storage optimized version of Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty on a 64GB cart

Looking forward to it

Rooms for my plastic models, and a place to make an infinitely filled bar for my friends

Yeah I wouldn’t say meh, but so far in my experience live is always better just because of the energy of being there
