Battery is still going strong, but the body is weak and fell apart just after arriving back from St Lucia to the UK after my grandmother's funeral.
I cannot foresee any smart watch taking its place for such a long service.
How was quake 2 bland? It was grim, fast paced. Had hours of gameplay and some large maps. The multiplayer was pretty good too.
It was my first multiplayer game though, so i'm definately biased, but it did so much more with basic hardware back in the day. And the custom map auto downloading and servers were great.
A much better introduction to multiplayer gaming then some of the stuff today.
But now you are asking for the equivalent of every reddit user to make their own subreddit, host it and curate a feed to it, so they can browse it.
I mean sure, but it'd be like saying, you don't like the options for food, so grow your own, the seeds are there. You may want some junk food, but you may also want some organic vegitable produce or something inbetween. Supermarkets are double edges sowrds with everything inbetween, but to open your own/grow your own/source your own from the bulk suppliers, although possible, is astronomically more man hours of curation time.
But with all that said, the initial and I think leading point of the post was not the indivdual filtering, but rather, that they think a divide and conquer approach would be most effective against a Fediverse. Where one would want to prevent the expansion and adoption of a fediverse as a threat of info hoarding.
I'd be inclined to agree that as pack animals a NT person is going to want to group up in the largest instance. So, the larger the instance, the more likely they are going to want to join it. And should it get huge amounts of people, they'd get fomo.
If there are as many instances as there are subreddit equivalents, for want of the accurate name, people just wont bother that much, no?
