Look, Unity that backed the changes of the fall guy have removed the fall guy they backed. Now they wait a couple years and use the idea later to hopefully less backlash with a new fall guy who they can remove if the backlash is bad again.

Oh! I'll check that out. I have Firefox and I use YouTube revanced but I'd like more blocking capabilities for when I oops and open up chrome.

It's still incorrect, I read that. The item may be considered a micro transaction but it doesn't paywall re-adjusting a character on the fly

It gives you access to the shapeshift spell, which lasts for the duration of the cast before wearing off.

...this comment is incorrect, read the DLC page you linked it says nothing about re-adjusting your character.

Been learning python for selenium and I love it. I know some C# and Javascript but I enjoy Python a lot more as a newb.

So I install windows all the time for work but I noticed something. We found an old laptop running windows 7. It has an inferior CPU, slower ram compared to our windows 10 and windows 11 systems. The only thing similar is both use integrated graphics.

The 7, which does struggle to boot, is far more responsive than our enterprise 10 and 11 systems after startup. The search function works much better on the 7. I wasn't served a single ad or suggestion on the 7.

This is mostly an observation and it's completely anecdotal, I just enjoyed the 7 more than the modern windows experience. In fact it felt closer to my Steam Deck which has now pushed me over to just dumping windows at home and trying to go Linux only.

Isn't that a bit of hyperbole? If it was turning into what you said we'd be seeing a far greater amount of servers than we are.

The point of the fediverse is decentralization. That means if you have a predominant rigid viewpoint you can find an instance that shares that view. I don't think at the current state of development that the fediverse can have a dominating instance that connects everything. It's up to you to create a community you feel is missing on the instance you've settled in if no other federated instances have that community.

We've proven through Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter that we suck at communicating across groups on social media and are more interested in insulting whoever disagrees with us than communicatimg effectively.

That being said the Fediverse is young. Things aren't perfect. It's still less censored than almost any other social media platforms aside from 4chan and I'd urge you to use that if you are looking for anti-censorship.

For myself, I've picked out a dozen instances and I drift between them all while I figure this out. I treat it just like my half dozen alt accounts I had on RiF.

I don't think the goal is to increase the popularity at the moment. I think it's manage the chaos. The fediverse has had a massive increase over the past few days and you kind of need to use the emergency tools that are part of federations to manage that growth.

I mean I'm just one person but I'm here to stay and if it shrinks or grows I don't really care I just know I don't want to go back to Reddit. I also like the ability to defederate as I've seen that reddit has had a long history of allowing bad actors to go untouched because they've never broken an actual rule.
