There probably were plugins for this before but I think it's great to have it as a standard. I also love it when I open an Instagram link by accident and Firefox opens it in the facebook-container automatically. Like yeah, take that Zuck. Keep your gruby hands of my other browser data! (I do realize they have other methods too, but still. Give them as little as possible.)

"Hey, we already got that whole eating mushrooms thing going, what if Mario was actually literally tripping fucking BALLS in our next game?"
"Nah man, we can't market that to children..."
"We're just gonna call it 'wonder seeds' or some shit, idk" "SOLD!"

For real though, any excuse for the teams at Nintendo to unleash their whole creativity is a plus in my book.
I'm not preordering out of principle, but the game looks great!

Big fan of Obsidian. Especially for written notes. If you are working with a lot of images I'd give its canvas feature a try. I'm not using it personally, but I think it might fit the bill.

Yes. "The internet never forgets" is actually a thing.

I like to have it set to "all" and "new comments". There is some movement but its slow enough to be usable. Also posts which are very active are more likely to appear there but you still see some newer stuff.

I really hope the "hot" and "active" algorithms will be fixed soon though.

Man, environmental news is just one feel good story after the other. Like, is something happening or something? /s

So you think your average MBA holder would not go the "extract short term value at all cost" route? Because it feels like they would. Maybe it's more of a "the wrong people making it to the top" problem.

So what would be the end goal for Meta? Weaken reddit and twitter as platforms, but they don't believe that the fediverse is able to take off in the mass market, so people will finally post on Facebook again?

Edit: A word

They don't mention it as one of their inspirations but this also looks like a cool open source alternative to Obsidian. Although I don't think Logseq has a mobile app which i really love for Obsidian.

Very cool! I used to think that no one would care when researchers would protest these things by striking. But I guess anything that hurts the well oiled money making machine that is modern academia (not for researchers though, of course) gets noticed. Seeing it done for real is great, and even more so that it was successful!

There are some kids toys where they hold the toy in place in the cardboard packaging by having a screw go through a little plastic plate, through the cardboard and then into the toy. I always found these really wastefull and anoying to open.
