I don’t know if it’s on any of their other mice, but Logitech does have a DPI shift button on the G502. You hold it down to switch to an alternate DPI and letting go returns it to you normal setting.

My understanding is that Kagi relies on the likes of Bing and Google but since it uses more than one of them it can keep functioning if one goes down.

Karl’s drama/exposé videos have always had this kind of antagonistic energy to them. It usually doesn’t bother me since the subjects, like Billy Mitchell, have brought the absurdity on themselves. Carrying that same energy into serious claims of fraud feels like a poor decision even if it’s the style of video you’re used to making. I don’t think the money would have been donated without these videos so I’m glad they were made, but the presentation was not as effective as it could’ve been.

Step one: Be Auburn

Lol, imagine having your head nearly pulled off only to find the flag wasn’t even about that

I’d be your man if Auburn hadn’t hired Freeze. I’m still a lifelong GT fan so I’ll see you at the end of November.

They are. They got released on the eshop same day as their announcement. It looks like physical copies are coming in September which might be what they are referring to.

Looks like !opensignups@lemmy.ml exists. Not a lot there yet, but hopefully it can pick up some steam over time.

Been getting back into Horizon Zero Dawn! I planned on playing more of it sooner but just wasn’t finding any interest until the past couple of days. Also picked up Pokemon Scarlet for the first time in six months to try finding a shiny Gimmighoul in the limited raid event that’s happening.

That’s where the fediverse already expecting an eventual fork makes me think actions like preemptive defederation will keep meta from totally dominating. Sure the web of meta’s instance and instances that federate with meta will have a higher population, but that doesn’t lessen the number of members currently in instances that defederate meta and stick to spec. Most ActivityPub based platforms aren’t being run for profit and just want to run their own community so there isn’t an inherent need to follow any changes that meta eventually does or does not make to chase more users. If an instance defeds meta, then what meta does has zero effect on them. As long as enough do that (and the current energy seems to be that enough will) then you still have a healthy, if small, fediverse doing it’s own thing without meta.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with this in the long run. I think the fediverse see’s Meta’s EEE play coming from a mile away compared to previous examples of big corps killing a standard. If Meta really does fork ActivityPub, I could see two webs of federation existing side by side. Enough of the fediverse is against Meta’s integration that Meta breaking the ActivityPub standard won’t force everyone to follow along. If enough instances stick to spec, then there’s still a fediverse to interact with on spec. Some will if they think the large user base Meta brings is worth it, but not all.

I don’t think that’s the case here. Enough of the fediverse is resistant to Meta’s play here to keep a significant chunk of ActivityPub platforms running on spec and able to interact even with a Meta-fied version of ActivityPub existing. Other examples of EEE happening to open source standards seem to start with the community generally trusting the big corps to respect the standard where here no one expects Meta to play nice. The fediverse is an internet within the internet and Meta’s biggest bargaining chip to join up is a large user base but if the fediverse is fine staying small (which I think it is) then there’s no need to play Meta’s game.

It’s refreshing to see a new style for a 2D Mario game. I’m really excited to see what all the wonder mechanics are.

I don’t really like the logic of “chatbots like this will help cure loneliness.” It might help someone feel less lonely at first. But then it’ll be a crutch and, if anything, hurt people’s ability to socialize with other real people. Like it’s a quick dopamine hit that will slowly dig you deeper into the hole you feel you’re in.
