Tbh, No Mans Sky and Starfield have little in common except being space games. Starfield isn't a space exploration / space sim game. It's an RPG set in space. Starfield has more of a storyline and characters then No Man's Sky, they're different games for different people

I believe Super Mario Wonder has Mario voiced by a new actor, and I don't think it's Chris Pratt

It would be if there wasn't a very simple way to completely disable pocket

 

Unsure if this fits here, but the tool's been quite fun to look through. It lets you look at specific Fediverse software and instances, see graphs for their growth. And there's even a whole section for the Threadiverse (Lemmy & Kbin)

The 2 biggest psychopaths join forces, true crime people, and tech bros

There have been testflights (Apple betas) for the pixelfed app, so it's in development. Unsure about the quality of 3rd party apps though

Yeah, like pretty much all platforms on the fediverse, they're not owned by large companies, and don't try ads or selling user data for profit

These videos are approved to be shown to children in Florida.

I am honestly scared for the next generation of children who believe that slavery wasn't that bad, and whatever other bullshit Prageru preaches

This morning I looked at the trending tab of my instance, and was pretty confused when #bbc was the first result. Glad that curiosity got the best of me though

Honestly, this is really good to hear! More mainstream accounts will definitely get the fediverse a bit more credibility.

And here's a bit more from BBC:

The team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the Fediverse.

This is an experiment - we will run it for 6 months, and then look at how much value it has provided, how much work it requires to maintain and then decide whether and how to continue. We're learning as we go, and we'll write about what we discover in the hope that it might be useful for others. The BBC will continue its normal social media activity in the usual places.

We're starting off small with just a handful of accounts from R&D and our colleagues at BBC Radio, but we hope to be adding more accounts from other areas of the BBC soon:

  • @BBCRD@social.bbc
    
    
  • @BBC5Live@social.bbc
    
    
  • @BBCRadio4@social.bbc
    
    
  • @BBC_News_Labs@social.bbc
    
    
  • @BBCTaster@social.bbc
    
    
  • @Connected_Studio@social.bbc

Any recommendations? I use firefox, but haven't quite moved from google search yet. Last I heard DuckDuckGo was doing some shady stuff, but that was a while ago

If that was the only place you could get pride books? Sure

But I can only assume that there are other pride books around the library, and I think having a designated pride section is good for those who want it.

Agreed, if somebody is spam downvoting comments (Which is honestly quite the pathetic act), then people should be able to see that, and block/report them

 

Before the whole Reddit migration I was passively aware of the Fediverse, I thought I somewhat grasped the concept, and had created a Mastodon account, but never really used it.
But once the migration started, I decided to try out Kbin, and really liked it, and even started to use Mastodon more often.

 
 

After dealing with lots of bad PR from terrible decisions, Twitch now has to deal with one of its biggest streamers moving to another platform, Kick, with a deal larger than those of most athletes

 

Spez, and Reddit as a whole is basically counting on most subreddits opening back up tomorrow after the 48-hour period.

Really hope that mods can hold out for longer, make them really panic.
