@apophis @geeknative doll who is the ultimate luxury product
omg I'm reading this dumb twitter article but can't continue because I'm laughing too hard at this diagram. Like, using this as a definition of an intelligent system then crashing into the fucking rocks because you don't know wtf a lighthouse is.
@BatElite @fluttergirly the moment has not passed, they could do it any time. ubisoft published just dance on the wii until 2020. the only thing stopping anybody is cowardice
I love how much they decided to just. fuck around with the title in the Ridge Racer series, like, they were like hmm, what if we just use other words that start with R and end with E? let's make Rave Racer and Rage Racer
and then they're like. let's just do one where the main title is just "R4", and it's not just Ridge Racer 4, no, it's Ridge Racer *Type* 4, the fourth type of Ridge Racer, whatever that means
now lets do one that's just called R:Racing, that makes sense
I love it so much lmao
@lunareclipse oh no i know what’s up with ice i just don’t know what’s up with ice on bluesky lol, sorry
@lunareclipse okay cool i just. don’t really know how bluesky moderation actually works nor do i really know what’s happened with the whole ice thing
@lunareclipse this is about bluesky right
I hope this won’t need to be discussed, however
I really don’t think we should ditch a service ran by a non profit just because they generally refuse to moderate based on off-site behavior (and especially based on screenshots).
Or based on one sentence from a single moderator replying to a thread consisting mostly of various forms of “so you’re intentionally letting abusive users be on the platform?”
I am not exaggerating with the previous paragraph, I will not elaborate on where this happened, but if it’s about you just calm down and think how it sounds. You won’t get anywhere by starting a conversation with accusations and an assumption of bad faith, people will just get defensive and/or stop listening to you.
Running a public service means you get a lot of moderation reports, and handling them well is really hard, time consuming, and sometimes soul-crushing. You often can’t make perfect decisions, just tradeoffs.
A factor in making those decision is avoiding moderator burnout, something which commercial platforms often don’t bother with and instead solve by churning through desperate contract workers and leaving them with lifelong PTSD after. You can imagine why this doesn’t work for volunteer-run projects.
TL;DR: please let’s not burn down a volunteer run platform for not being perfect especially when they’re really trying to do well and the alternatives literally have CEOs bootlicking nazis
hi I'm live!! it's an all Wii day today, I'm playing Speed Racer, MySims Racing, and later Sonic and the Secret Rings with @BisTheFairy ! come on over and hang out with me~!
this one's been in the works for quite awhile, so I'm very excited for you all to see my new video, sharing my thoughts on the PlayStation era of Ridge Racer!
@fluttergirly i’m literally playing r4 right now!! i’ll be sure to give this a watch :3
@apophis @operationpuppet also it’s easier to complain louder when you know what’s happened
I know learning & switching to #Linux seems intimidating but imagine not being in a war of attrition with your own computer. #microslop
I just received a spam email from a hosting company that's rolling out an "AI" powered system administrator tool.
It "connects to your server via SSH and acts as an intelligent operator".
Um. Wow. This is really something.
Yeah, sure, let's all plug non-deterministic algorithms with high error rates into our servers with root access and let them run wild.
After all - what could go wrong? You know, besides literally everything.
