I haven’t played in a few years but this is how I remember the system working: RDO matches people into separate lobbies based on what version of the game they’re running and this check is done by hashing one or more files in the install directory. By adding junk data to one of those files you more or less guarantee that you’ll only ever encounter other people who have the same junk data added. It’s basically the dark souls password system with extra steps.

It’s the town that’s 80% black, not the mayor. Which is then put in contrast with the majority white town leadership.

I mean yes, but also no: most of them are probably antivaxx and antimask

I need better reasoning than that to continue this conversation.

And I’m saying that there’s very obvious transphobic statements still visible on the most obvious account to check. If facebook doesn’t even bother properly clean up after libsoftiktok then I have no faith in their moderation of less overt transphobia from nobodies.

You got me to click the link. There is still plenty of transphobic statements on that account, and they’ve been up for 22+ weeks. I very much doubt that nobody has bothered to report those posts, so I’ll assume facebook is fine with a level of transphobia that is enough to make my day worse even by just skimming for 30 sec.

Indeed. We don’t even need to talk about EEE or past genocide enabling behavior from facebook. The lack of moderation of threads is plenty reason to defederate. My sanity is valuable enough that I won’t see for myself, but it sure seems like “@libsoftiktokofficial” on threads is the “real deal”.

if a mastodon instance was fine with hosting libsoftiktok it would swiftly be defederated for lack of moderation by a large amount of instances. No questions asked. No debate. Why is this any different? Do the rules somehow not apply when we’re dealing with facebook?

coordinating bullying with the intent of causing suicide is frowned upon

Imagine “roko’s basilisk”, but extended into an entire philosophy. It’s the idea that “we” need to anything and everything to create the inevitable ultimate super-ai, as fast as possible. Climate change, wars, exploitation, suffering? None of that matters compared to the benefits humanity stands to gain when the ultimate super-ai goes online

I don’t think that has been the case for at least a full console generation, maybe more.

Look at the rise and fall of pre-order goodies to get a rough estimate of when publishers really, really wanted you to buy the game day 1 (and when it stopped mattering as much)

to the best of my knowledge even after this ruling, you would still need to be sterilized to get your gender marker changed as the requirement of having genitalia that matches your preferred gender is still in effect. You also need to be 18+, unmarried and have no children who are minors.

I do not. The “free” feature set is good enough for my needs.

The Fitbit Versa series give me the vibe that this is where pebble could have headed if they hadn’t gone under. Since Fitbit bought the Pebble estate I guess that’s plausible. If you care more about health than fitness I would look into the Fitbit “Sense” series. They have most of the fitness options from Versa but also ECG and stress tracking.

No 3rd party apps, but they’re pretty good on battery life (My partner’s Versa 3 will last 11 days on a charge).

Unrelated to your query I encountered this site and it just might be of help to you: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-regulatory/post-authorisation/availability-medicines/public-information-medicine-shortages

Over the last couple of months 20, 30 and/or 40mg Elvanse has been out of stock in Denmark at various points. Usually returning after a week or two. Same is true for Methylphenidate in 18, 27 and/or 38mg doses.

How comparable/useful that is to you, I have no idea

any sufficiently advanced incompetence (elon musk) is indistinguishable from malice

you may be confusing r/GayBros for r/askgaybros. Roughly the same size and spelling, but only one of them has a strong reputation for transphobia.

the DDG browser can setup a “fake vpn” tracking blocker for your entire phone. Last I checked certain apps were excluded by default as the tech is quite new and some apps don’t work right with it. It’ll then give you an overview of how many tracking attempts it blocks for each app.
