If it was Fischer-Price, it would be colorful. This is just the sort of bland, generic website UI you see everywhere

I'm surprised banks haven't stepped in. They wouldn't help for the good of the world, but this would destroy online commerce and banking.

If they don't want us to communicate with the users of their server, they should be defederated. Sucks for the users, but they can hop to another server whose admins don't break communication inelegantly and ghost admins who want to know what's going on.

If it's just a bug, then obviously we should wait for it to be fixed, but if they're not even saying they'll look into it, I don't have much hope.

In a sense, it's the only way

Defederation is an important tool to protect communities. It helps prevent the Fediverse from being overrun with bad actors.

Agreed. I've had to accept that the Reddit I used to use and still somewhat miss is gone.

Thanks goodness it looks like the victims will live

Because it's not the AI that's taking away jobs, but the executives hoping to cut costs regardless of creativity, quality, or ethics.

I want a cell phone with a headphone jack, physical navigation buttons, and a rectangular screen like they used to make. At this point, I'll have to go with a flip phone if I want all of those features.

For those who take this seriously: don't. Security by obscurity does not work.

The meme is talking about when the game engine is used to nake things other than games

Rounded corners on the screen? Yuck

You're talking about the AI that provides accurate-sounding results but can't fact-check and is also used to generate the kind of spam that's constantly being pushed by search engines, right?

The Switch uses MicroSD cards too

Comic sans hype!

I assume we're not getting that Switch port

They've been sucking for longer than they've been losing

This approach only makes sense as a blanket defederation of all kbin servers. Seems shady.

Might be tricky. Muskrat has been trying to make x.com a thing for decades. Nearly killed PayPal at one point until he was forced out of that company

Unsurprising

Not surprising, considering Musk used it back then too.

Hal - I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

Hey, they all wore a mask. Good on them.

Cthulhu asks if anyone wants to play chess with him

This is Chess, not Checkers. We need a completely different board.

I hope it goes away

That reminds me, i haven't gotten around to deleting my Reddit account yet. What should I use to delete all my posts/comments on there while I'm at it? I did get the data from my GDPR request

What did they do wrong? They're just providing value by offering consumers free pets with their food!

Left 5, up 2, right 4, for example. If there's not enough space on the board to do that, I can't move the horsey that way

Going from 1 USB port and 1 USB-C port in the front to 2 USB-C ports in the front is really annoying for users of existing wired controllers such as arcade sticks

The final creation of Dr. Light and the main character of the Mega Man X games

Wow. Finally, woman possibly adjacent to videogame.

They're popular among a different crowd than those who would go online to talk about video games.

According to the edit in the main post, yes, they have been asked.

It's die-cast metal

Every platform wants to be every other platform nowadays

They already have NFTs. They call them "collectible avatars" apparently. I was on old reddit, so I never saw them
