Flying Witch is a very sweet SOL show! I just wish they’d make more seasons.

Am I the only person who immediately thought that Musk will end up suing Wikipedia for infringing on “his” content?

That’ll be quite a turnaround. We will go from seeing reality in Gaza to pure fantasy from Israel. Smiling Palestinian children (played by Israeli child actors) hugging their IDF “friends”.

I’ll be deleting my account, thank you.

Dreamwidth.

I don’t care as long as they don’t take away NotePad. NotePad has useful features I’d hate to lose - such as stripping out all formatting, and being able to search/replace wildcard characters as themselves, rather than as wildcards.

There’s always Diablo 1.

But my favorite is Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, which was made by some of the people who created Fallout and has a LOT in common with it. It’s an open world, a combination of classic fantasy with elves, dwarves, and halflings with a rising steampunk technology that competes with magic. There are many schools of magic and technology, as well as social, stealth, and combat skills. The graphics are very crude by today’s standards, but the gameplay is outstanding.

When I walk along a street, I count the number of drivers I see using their phones. It’s been a consistent 50%. And the ones who aren’t on their phones tend to be elderly. So what’s surprising about an increase in pedestrian deaths?

I don’t know about deletions, but I requested my data for takeout more than two weeks ago and I still haven’t received it.

Yes, a LOT.

Those sociopaths have weighed down this sorry planet for far too long.

I did exactly that. And ever since then, I’ve been backing up my full uncompressed photographs onto several duplicate hard drives and flash drives. Plus my videos, of course. I really should set up a server so I could do all that automatically, but I don’t really know how and don’t have the energy to figure it out.

I will never trust Google for anything since they killed off Google Plus. Getting rid of “don’t be evil” as their corporate motto was a huge giveaway.

It was well before I turned one; I was still in a crib. It was dark, nighttime, and incredibly hot. Some sort of animal with glowing eyes stared at me from the floor.

I thought it was a dream, but decades later my parents confirmed that when I was a baby the thermostat had broken and we had a night where the temperature was 100°. As for the animal with glowing eyes, that was our cat.

That seems unnecessarily complicated! But I appreciate the info.

I find it strangely hard to care about the fate of a handful of multimillionaire tourists when hundreds of refugees died last week due to the indifference of the Greek authorities - and the media barely noticed.

“Good content”? You mean like the stuff that’s on Facebook now?

Yes, Infinity. Actually I used the official Reddit app until all of this hit the news. Then I deleted that app and switched to Infinity. When infinity goes, I’ll delete it and I’m done with Reddit except on an alt account on my desktop. And that will just be for correspondence.

Would different parts of the community be hosted on different instances, thereby spreading out the burden? Or would the entire community be mirrored to each of the hosting instances, thereby providing backup security?

I’ve actually been wondering about that. For example, what if an instance with a popular community went down or defederated from everyone? Would all the content of that community be lost to everyone else? I’m guessing that under those circumstances one or more new communities would be started to replace the “lost” community, although things could get complicated if there were more than one trying to replace the original - or if the original community refederated after the replacement communities developed.

That would be awkward in some cases. Say, if a non-Nazi ended up on a Nazi server by random chance.
