My only quibble would be to swap “pay” for “invest” which captures both the dynamic of up front expense and expected savings from ending recurring subscription fees. That’s how I look at it. Every penny I put into my own digital sovereignty is an investment that will yield returns both financial and otherwise.

Ukraine likely adopted that posture well before The Tantrum.

Let it burn.

Yes certainly. Part of the mistake was disclosing that there is some mechanism by which such specific communities can be shut down so quickly. You can disclose that capability by accident, but you can’t have that capability by accident.

After clicking on the link, I have a few thoughts

• ew, gross (haven’t been to reddit in a year, and time/enshittification has not been kind to it)

• we should consider a warning for bare reddit links

• this may have been an error, like a script being run in prod that shouldn’t have been but it was not a bug. That isn’t a technical assessment, it is a human assessment.

I bought 7 Days to Die about a week ago and put it on my Steamdeck right before a transcontinental flight, and since I started it on that flight, I haven’t played much of anything else.

I don’t know why but it’s kind of perfect for me right now, right between Ark and Project Zomboid and I feel like I have a lot of control over the pace of the game. Its nice.

I don’t understand any of this on a technical level but it is interesting to see play out nonetheless.

I sense a back story

The graphics still impress me. It’s like the effects in Jurassic Park in that, while the overall tech has improved by leaps and bounds, the execution is so good that it still dazzles.

This is the perfect description.

I hate to say this, but it’s almost better at Fallout than Fallout.

I’ve played all the Fallout games, my wife has played none of them. We are both enjoying it quite a bit so far, at least two episodes in.

Yeesh. Most of us are here because reddit sucks, but…please go take advantage of all that real life has to offer, if only for a few moments.

I think you might be just short of getting it still. How would this be a self-own based on your understanding?

Unbelievably, I’m playing (and enjoying) Fallout 76 after avoiding it for so many years of following it’s travails from afar.

It’s buggy in all those Bethesda ways that are almost comfortable in their familiarity at this point, and it’s got a lot to explore. This can tide me over until Starfield is discounted and improved.

Also been playing Teardown a bit, which has a really cool look and feel. Hyper-real except a voxel universe, if that makes sense. Lots of fun to destroy the environment.

Enragement = Engagement.
