I’m gonna be honest, Mastodon is kinda trash, on its own. It’s clunky, ugly, and feels like a platform from 2010 (but not in a good way). I think getting people onboard with a Misskey/Sharkey instance is going to be much better. The feature set is a lot closer to Twitter, and it does literally everything Mastodon does, but better.

Yeah, they only have a finite number of servers that they can run VMs on, and are pretty consistently at max capacity. That said, there’s also limits on individual stream times, so after a certain amount of time you have to reconnect to continue playing (which, if you’re playing in a busy time, means re-queueing). So this at least keeps the line moving, in a way.

I haven’t tried it in a year or so, but when I played it last, I didn’t have very long lines; a minute at most, even at peak hours, on a free (deprioritized) account. Not the end of the world, but definitely an inconvenience.

they have to reinvest most of them into the company and it’s employees.

In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla’s case, “reinvesting into its employees” means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you’d see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn’t change anything in any significant way, imo.

I’ve been saying for years that Mozilla is a profit-driven corp, just like any other. If they operated at Google’s scale, they’d be evil at Google’s scale, as well. It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this, and likely won’t be the last.

You could just watch the video, like the people who would rate/comment before you did.

fire suppression systems that are designed to activate when the temperature inside reaches a certain point

For unknown reasons, the system failed to prevent the destruction of hundreds of ballots

I don’t think it’s an “unknown” reason; the system requires a fire to have already been lit in order to activate. It’s fire a suppression system, not fire prevention.

FYI, OP edited the link in the post, so you and I are not seeing the same article as others are. Some are seeing a Newsweek article about the story, and I think you’re seeing the Insider Gaming article that I’m also seeing, which provides basically zero details.

What the fuck? I think OP may have edited the link at some point, and that change may not have federated onto my instance.

You really shouldn’t be allowed to edit links in a post. Text body and title, sure. But the original link should remain intact, otherwise shit like this happens lmao

Are you replying to the wrong thread? This isn’t a Newsweek post at all. This post is from Insider Gaming.

It isn’t. That’s a different tweet than what the article has.

That’s the tweet that should’ve been in the article. I dunno why the author chose a tweet that doesn’t say anything to include in their article that also doesn’t say anything.

Are you seeing something treadful and I aren’t seeing? Because I’m with him, I don’t see what you’re referring to. I only see one tweet in the article, and all it says is:

I have reported what I found and my concerns to the authorities @FBI. Hopefully they will look into these MrBeast Telegram Company Chats Logs and other concerns.

I don’t see any videos, nor any clarification in the article as to what the chat logs are at all.

Kbin/Mbin handle microblog posts kinda oddly. They’re not actually attached to the magazine you see them in, in most cases, and it’s instead *bin auto-sorting posts by hashtag. *bin will aggregate all of the microblog content and sort it by the first hashtag listed, and that’ll determine which local magazine that post will appear in.

So for instance, I could post:

Just got the high score! #gaming

And this will show up in /m/gaming for you, even though I didn’t specify any magazine to post it to. I could do that from my Mastodon account, even, and you’d see it there, as well. You can subscribe to local magazines to effectively subscribe to Mastodon hashtags this way.

Posting microblog content directly to a magazine is a bit weird, as *bin basically just adds a “hidden” hashtag with the magazine’s full address in the metadata. So if you wanted to post a microblog post to this magazine, for instance, you could do that by either selecting this magazine from the list when posting, or you could include #fediverse@lemmy.world as a hashtag from any Fediverse platform, and it’ll show up in the microblog tab on *bin.

I hope that makes sense; I might not be explaining it properly lol

I haven’t had the watermelon one yet, but the slushie one is legit, too! My roommate gets that one sometimes, so I’ll occasionally sneak a scoop of it.

Miami Nights! I usually go between this one and the Diablo health potion flavor.

3. An empty bottle of iced coffee that I started on at the beginning of my shift and just finished a few minutes ago. About to start moving to the shaker cup of G Fuel for more caffeine to carry me through the rest of the night. Last one’s a steel water bottle.

This is normal for me. I typically bring all 3 to my desk at the start of my shift and sip on them throughout the night.

I think you’re underestimating who “we” includes when talking about the Fediverse. Normies want a place here, too.

Ted Cruz will endanger your children for political points. He will assign a label to them and point his posse at them. He is a dangerous man, and the parents of those girls ought to press charges. Cruz is not unaware of the hateful mob he’s riled up in Texas, who would be eager to take action against any supposed trans children; this was an intentional effort to put the lives of Texan children in danger, full stop.

The Cerberus mission was so good! I usually don’t like when games do the “hide from the invincible monster” trope, but they managed to do this really well. Making the doors extra slow turned that mission into one of the tensest moments I’ve ever experienced with a game. My watch gave me a high heart rate alarm halfway through it lmao

Because wanting braindead content that you don’t have to think about or form a critical opinion over is a valid request. There’s a big reason the Fediverse doesn’t see widespread adoption: the content sucks, it’s all politics from the farther edges of every end of the spectrum and FOSSbro tech discussion that’s about as insufferable as cryptobro subreddits.

If the Fediverse wants to attract more people, then it needs to start expanding into what those other people actually want. They don’t want to have a furry with a Stalin profile pic explain Linux kernel to them, they want to laugh at inconsequential videos of children falling into things that they can leave a “heart” on and quickly share a link to their friend with.
