it says the term has lost impact, I agree. Doesn;t mean it should be 'retired' but I get the point.
Other words have also lost impact. 'Democracy' comes to mind. I live in a dictatorship that on a daily basis call themselves a Peoples' Democracy, and half the world agrees
Google killing a product? No way
loading-screen-lover gamer, this is definitely a first.
Give me RDR2 seamless experience every day of the week
I'll start by saying I haven't played this, I just watched reviews online. But I see everybody agreeing in that the exploration is not actual exploration but a lot of clicking menus. And when someone complains about it, there's always a bunch of people defending it because "it's a bethesda game" or "the game is what it is and not what you expected it to be". I don't get this.
The game was overhyped, and the specific part about space exploration is (so far) a lie. Period.
The post image is my motivation profile. It's pretty accurate.

That company is too damn big, it's been scary for some time now
strangely wholesome, what's the catch?
I wouldn't want to use an instance that shows me Meta content, even if that's where the majority of content is, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

That was my first thought too, until I found this:

The potential problem is not us making a dent on Threads, I couldn't care less if people want to use it. The potential problem is that they do the EEE (link1, link2) on the Fediverse. It's not us trying to steal users from them, or preventing people from joining them, it's about preventing them from becoming the standard way for people to access the Fediverse, thus giving them control over the protocol's direction and giving them the possibility to, once they are the de facto standard, defederate and kill the rest of small communities.
That, and personally, I wouldn't like Meta meddling with the protocol, simply because there is no beneficial outcome for them other than gaining control of it, which would be horrible.
All the time. I wouldn't want a phone without it
