When your dog thinks he's in the Matrix

@CaribenxMarciaX as usual i think it's a case of white people waking up to the fascism that's been there all along, and instructing others who've been dealing with it already for years how they should deal with it... i'm reminded of folks coming here for the first time in november last year and then writing articles about how to behave on mastodon; same fervent + misguided + patronizing energy of the privileged new convert

starfield, the sequel to garfield,

People who keep shouting it's unethical to be on Twitter now I have some fucking questions. You still buying at fast fashion outlets? Driving cars? Flying in airplanes? You eating Tyson Chicken? Do you try to keep slave labor out of your coffee? Or do you just not like evil when it feels a little too in your face?

A tumblr post for you

I just realized how fucked up it is that lead is in some aluminum alloys for better machining.

Like to they get that out when recycling or is recycled aluminum just always contaminated with a bit of lead?

time for some obscure #UltimaOnline #gamepreservation history

back in 1997, there was no such thing as a subscription system for MMOs that didn't require a credit card. the UO team came up with the "Game Time Card" system, which allowed people to buy 30 & 90 day subscriptions from brick & mortar game stores. every MMO afterward, like EQ, WoW and SWG would replicate that system.

since the cards were single-use disposables, 99.99% of gamers tossed these cards out when they were done with them. they were impossible to find after a few years. it took me 15 years to find a couple of these cards, mercifully saved by a gamer in Germany, which just arrived today

a 90-day card was included in the Charter Edition of the game (only available by special order prior to launch), pictured below. it is now back in its rightful place in the box 😅

End User License Agreements are not consent. Burying how you are going to fuck someone over in pages and pages of hard to read legalese that you damn well know the person will not read and might not even be able to understand is a scummy practice we should abolish.

Being an instance admin/mod is a position of responsibility and accountability. You owe (yes, owe) the people on your instance the assurance that your actions as a leader will be level-headed, fair, and free of personal grievances in your dealings with other instances—because your behavior with users outside of your instance gives great insight into your potential behavior inside of your instance as well.

I am begging everyone using the /#fediblock hashtag to keep it clear of personal vendettas and diatribes. It's your choice how to manage your community, but misusing fediblock, a tool for keeping Masto users and communities safe, for lashing out and revenge, flies in the face of a worthy goal and a powerful tool for good.
