(You probably already know this, but I'm referencing Zuckerberg saying "They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks" regarding Facebook's users.)

I’m not trivially easy to track back to real world identity from any of my socials

I'm concerned about the data that Facebook holds, but otherwise did not regularly give away without a warrant. I'm worried about the Trump admin newly being able to ask, e.g. "Give us the user ID, profile name, and bio history of every single IG user, so we can filter(bio.contains('🏳️‍⚧️'), insta_bios) on it. Capiche?"

And from there, take the email, IP, etc of that. I imagine, even with great opsec, there's nothing that trumps the richness of data Meta has on people.

Maybe Facebook already had regular data dumps for the FBI, or maybe warrants actually mattered. I really don't know.

That said, I also totally feel you there. I wish I started with DIY HRT both to stay off lists, but also because I'd have been on it a decade earlier. At least, Planned Parenthood won't be cozying up to Trump.

When Heroku killed Jstpst mid 2024, we had a backup which I was able to restore to a VPS, but the themes were stored elsewhere and lost. Further, Postmill's ~ 8 years of updates mean this css doesn't work anymore hehe

YAYYYYYY

Oh absolutely. I am an abhorrent prude and kissing is nasty enough even when people DO floss

If my company didn't just sell their office space (yayyyyy they can't make me go into the office), I'd have tried to get them to invest in an Oxide rack.

Going "your personal blog" mode: I don't like the bespoke names like "Route 53", but at least a lot of AWS makes sense? There are very few things I've come across (as someone toes-deep into AWS) that seem like a horrible engineering mistake made at Amazon.

If I were to build an intranet for the internet and divide everything into tiny little separately-billable services, I'd do it a lot like this.

this is not nearly as horrifying as i thought it would be based on the title. thank u for sharing

i tell people who ask for the ol "tongue in throat" thing that i can tell if they didn't floss

i don't mean to humblebrag but i have gotten at least two people to start flossing regularly

I know of no reason the Caesarean Treason should ever be forgot

That's fair-- there are many things people like that I don't like, and don't care to put in the effort to enjoying.

But I like videogames a lot and think they're a serious art form, and given how well beloved Soulslikes are, I wanted to think about them some more.

Maybe I will play Tunic again...

This is something I can appreciate and I am grateful for your perspective :D

Nope! It's small and light and quite a delight. I read the first half in one sitting -- not something I get to do often nowadays.

Fortnite is something I've grown to appreciate (but never play, because I will never make an Epic Games account). The microtransactions are so silly (I feel bad about humanity and society when I think about them) but the game has a lot of technical depth and variety. There's a Guitar Hero in Fortnite. There's a Minecraft in Fortnite. It's really a lot like Ace of Spades was before Jagex killed it.

What I mean to say is "I think you and I think about games similarly and I read your post with that lens." I think the main contention is that "fair" is necessarily subjective, and tricky to define.

If I were to suggest a definition, I'd say a singleplayer game which feels fair is one communicates well, does not have difficulty which demands a huge time commitment, and (counter-intuitively) has generous hitboxes. E.g. Celeste is fair because everything is clearly communicated (you can see the level and know what will kill you), the tricky levels send you back to the start of the screen, and the hitboxes feel sensible by lying to you up and down. (Celeste has three hitboxes, and hazards have tiny and sparse hitboxes.)

And often these games are not as good as From at realizing what players can take or not.

This is something I really liked about Tunic. I could beat any Soulslike I think, but I usually don't want to put up with that. But I had this experience in Tunic, where the first boss was very difficult. I thought I might have sequence broken to an impossible boss. Then, (spoilers; rot-13, you can use DDG to un-rot13 V unq pbyyrpgrq n cntr bs gur phgr va-tnzr znahny, juvpu unq n oyheel fperrafubg bs gung obff ng ebhtuyl zl fxvyy yriry, jvgu na rapbhentvat "LBH PNA QB VG!" zrffntr. Gur tnzr nagvpvcngrq zl pbaprea naq gbyq zr, npghnyyl, lbh pna orng guvf obff.

Then I beat the boss, and I was able to trust that I could beat any of the bosses in Tunic. They were just about the edge of what I was willing to put up with, though. I liked that experience very very much.

This contextualizes it a lot and I appreciate it.

To add on to this, the Dark Souls and related wikis seem to be pretty bad (Fandom??) and a lot of the knowledge seems to be on YouTube videos, which is a culture of knowledge I don't respect and don't want to put up with.

I did try to get into Elden Ring when it launched but it didn't run on my computer, and the community was insufferable. People on r/eldenring got personally offended by the criticism of "it has a launch bug" so I gave up on them.

I've given them a cumulative 10 hours maybe; investing 30 minutes as a Hater with an open mind seems like it might have art payoff.

I'd invested 20 minutes in Outer Wilds before I was encouraged to see it through by a friend, and I am so happy I did. Maybe Dark Soulses can be like that too
