@nprofile…de2h Would this fit your need? https://www.tynsoe.org/geektool/
I used and abused it back when I still used a Mac, I don't know how good it is on more recent macOS.

Oh your hosting costs are going through the roof? How about sending new users to other instances instead of funnelling them into your "flagship" one?
Yes it won't lead to VC-baiting user growth graphs, but that's not the point is it?

@nprofile…ud6s …avec des copains de l'IA, évidemment. Et avec un plan tellement absent qu'on se demande si c'est pas une blague.
Évidemment la Social Web Foundation bondit pour les soutenir.

@nprofile…dewn Same dude who claimed to be a top Quake player back in the days with several supposed big tournament wins to his name (one competitive player from that era remembers him playing a lot but also says "he wasn't very good"). [1]
Same dude who claims to be a top 20 Diablo 4 players, a claim which also has been dismissed and may as well be a symptom of stupidity as he indeed was in the top 20 players in a very specific niche opt-in leaderboard that does not verify the claimed scores. [2]
Imagine being in your 50s, CEO of several companies, rich beyond human comprehension, and still feeling the need to lie on… your video game prowess? How petty is that?

Things your watch is bad at that a stupid expensive watch is good at:
- Hold value out of taxes' reach
That's it, that's the list.

Hey gamers!
In case you missed it: now is the time to nominate games for the Steam Awards.
There's this new Dragon Age game that gets the incel types very upset. We should make it Game Of The Year, maybe that will drive them away from Steam once and for all.
At least it's worth a try.

@nprofile…tg6x In the style of a famous extraterrestrial being: Currency is an illusion, cryptocurrency doubly so.
Seriously though: the value of a unit of currency lies in the guarantees attached to that currency; It's a measure of confidence. The value of art is a whole different subject.

It's hard to stay serious when reading the Democrats being described as "socialists" or "the left".
Dear comrades from the US of A: despite what years of Cold War propaganda have made you think, you have no left-wing.
Even FDR, who is painted by most as the most left-leaning US president ever, refused to support anti-lynching camps, put anyone deemed too Japanese in camps and sent anyone deemed too Mexican across the frontier.

I don't like starter packs for the same reason I don't like sorting on upvotes: it solidifies the position of those already in the spotlight, while the rest is doomed to stay obscure forever.
No one reads what's on page 2.

@npub1mhp…6t73 This is true of every non-videogame-related Microsoft product, and some videogame-related ones.
Gotta admire the longevity of Microsoft as a whole

Backing into parking spaces seems quite unpopular in the US of A.
Why?
(genuine question, I feel like there's a cultural thing I don't understand in there)

@npub14j3…gwus A coworker just managed to crash Outlook by running out of memory while trying to insert the corporate-standard signature into his email.
Meanwhile I'm thinking: dash dash space newline J K B newline, 7 bytes

@npub1qjs…p9uj I'm glad my neighbours don't mistake my unlocked door for an invitation to come eat from my fridge. I don't understand why consent seems so hard to understand when it's about data

#[0] You chose to use the word "problem" to refer to the same kind of "oh this isn't Twitter, I shouldn't stay here" situation that happens with each influx wave here. I don't see this as a problem, more as a feature. By design this place isn't fit for brands, for campaigns, for influencers, for analytics-obsessed people… and I think it's great!
I don't know first-hand about Bluesky (I stopped getting on waitlists for the next big thing in social media back in 2010) but it's been founded and funded by Twitter and then spun off as a separate company when Musk took over, is it surprising that people would expect this to be Twitter-but-not-Elon?
