Yeah I understand that duplicates will pop up from different people, just found it weird that they would create 2 separate ones themselves. It's hard to find which one to join when both are similar levels of active and I don't love the idea of having to subscribe to both and go to both if I want to see what's being posted. I assumed it was unfamiliarity with how the instances worked but didn't think about seeing if kbin or lemmy would end up being more popular, that does makes sense.

This is tough, I dont know if it will happen or not but for the jets I think I have to say Becton. If he's healthy and pops off our oline is going to be way better than people expect. If he doesn't... Well hopefully we don't end up on our 5th and 6th tackles again this year

"If you regress his stats back to the mean" lol that was a classic post

Pyle is hilarious, I remember when he first started with those alien comics. His shit really fits my sense of humor lol

From what I've read, he doesn't really practice, so there is no reason for him to be in a rush except for maybe learning whatever system he's going into and he's a veteran so that's probably not a big worry. He's just waiting for whoever is the best situation/most money. I could see it stretching into the preseason, idk about into midseason but it's possible

I'm really excited for this. Hard Knocks has been pretty meh recently, although the Lions were good last year. I like the Jets in house production, One Jets Drive, a lot but it's basically team propaganda so I'm looking forward to seeing HBO's perspective. I'm biased obviously because I'm a Jets fan but the 2010 season with Rex was the best season of Hard Knocks ever IMO, and coincidentally the last time the Jets made the playoffs lol

I was thinking the same thing, it's counterintuitive to the whole point of Lemmy lol

One of the few things I could never get over after switching to apple was losing out on relay. No offense to anyone that uses other apps on Android, part of the reason android is so great is the variety but relay to me was the best by far without any doubt. I used apollo on iOS and it's good, I'm actually switching back to Android right now because I I just prefer it to iOS so it doesn't matter anymore because I'm looking at Lemmy apps for Android mow, and I'll probably try out wefwef on Android since I like it on iphone but man once you put this out... I don't see how I could use anything else if this is even close to relay, that UI just speaks to me

I went to go see if there was any new info and just saw that as well, kind of encouraging to see it confirmed they will work with mastodon though

343 has never been good at managing a Halo game. Not sure what OP is referring to specifically but 343 has made tons of awful decisions with the franchise. One thing that always bothered me with infinite is from what I remember the game has an enormous amount of tech debt because Microsoft loves to hire temporary contract workers so by the time a new contractor was hired and brought up to speed on the new engine they were developing/had developed, they barely had time to do much before having to be replaced with another contractor, which makes me feel awful for the poor developers hired on these temp contracts.

I have absolutely no intention of using Threads (for obvious reasons: meta data collection), but I'm interested to see if it can push the fediverse into mainstream conversation. I basically only used twitter for sports news so if those reporters end up on Threads and I can follow them from Mastodon I wouldn't mind. Of course none of that matters if it's not on ActivityPub like it's rumored to be, or if they implement any kind of restrictions to users not on their instance, like following users or liking posts.
