Probably some mix of: it was an unknown and unregulated industry when domains were invented, the idea of ‘property’ doesn’t really work like that IRL (the bank or local government can take your house for myriad reasons), and people aren’t motivated enough to make any significant changes.

These days, I don’t remember the last registrar I’ve seen that does not provide at least some kind of basic hosting. Maybe they want to grow like all businesses, maybe just being a registrar doesn’t keep the lights on anymore. Not sure, but it definitely seems to be the thing most, if not all, do now.

I have a few hundred feeds across topics that I’ve collected over the years, but I’m gonna guess you don’t want to see my entire OPML. Want to share some topics you’re into? That should help recommendations a lot

Also, a general tip: Most decent feed readers can sniff out a feed if you paste a website into their search box. Next time you’re surfing the regular web and find a site you like, try tossing it into your reader to follow it from then on

I poked around with Matrix a bit this week but I’m confused as to how it’s being touted as a replacement for Discord. TBC, I’ve been on Mastodon since 2019 and absolutely want these people-powered alternatives to succeed.

I’m not even talking about the onboarding part, I mean the actual function of the app. With Discord you join a community (server, whatever) and there are a bunch of separate channels, usually separated by topics. I joined a few Matrix servers and they all seem to be one single channel; just one big ol’ scrolling chat where everyone is talking about everything.

Unless I’m missing something, I don’t understand how this will work at all for Discord users looking to jump ship.

Not an arc specific exotic but Sanguine Alchemy is a damage boosting chest. While in any rift you get I believe a 50% damage boost to all weapons that match your super element. Kills pause your rift’s timer for 5 seconds (doesn’t work on Well). It’s a very common swap exotic for high damage rotations. Some people just leave it on for a mission or encounter.

I don’t have a definitive source, but I’ve heard that was intentional. WB said they were gonna do it with or without the Wachowskis. So they agreed to do it and torpedoed it so WB would stop trying to mess with the franchise.

This is a pillar of pride for us. We are literally creating jobs 😆

Got this YouTuber from a glaive enjoying friend. Apparently they’re big glaive fans and do solo GM stuff. Latest video is “triple glaive solo GM,” lol!

Easy fix: Every glaive melee kill results in a Michael Bay explosion. Not an ignition, just the pyrotechnics.

I’m still experimenting and just asked a friend who likes using glaives in GMs. I suspect what works is a mix of damage perks and high energy generation, because the shield is quite valuable.

The buffs across the entire weapon class this act helped a lot—damage, projectile tracking, reload, and maybe something else? Big upgrades all around.

The vanguard stasis glaive with chill clip is a favorite among glaive enjoyers. I think you can still farm it, at least with engrams.

Yeah that's a top tier Angle roll. I also thought of something after posting this: What if the choice to make Refusal strand came down to the simple aspect of build crafting? Since Strand has two slots and Kinetic only has one, I wonder if more people simply build into strand weapons. Hence, make it work with reserves, reload, scavs, etc.
