This is terrible! I don't know anyone who likes beer who doesn't like Anchor Steam. I'm honestly shocked that none of the big boys have stepped up to buy the brand. Though, I guess maybe they're waiting for bargain basement prices in liquidation. Gutted.

Same. I figured she was saying it at least a little tongue in cheek. Though, hopefully Ahsoka HAS played the master role with her in a more direct way in the intervening years.

Dunno. But they seem to be leaning quite heavily into the "I'm no Jedi," thing. All of the lightsabers none of the dogma? I think it's an interesting way to go considering how big the sick-of-jedi-sith contingency is these days.

I agree on the names, but I'm really missing that kind of content. The ________porn communities from Reddit were a treasure trove of stuff.

Agreed. But I wouldn't say it's overstated; it's misleading. It's largely a quote from the judge, who may be an idiot, but they said what they said. "Trump-appointed judge rules that Biden Administration went too Far in Preventing Medical Misinformation," is wonky but more accurate.

I think this is a shame. Low effort baloney, irrelevant results and content farm pablum aside, real time search results are pretty important sometimes.

Same with Relay... I checked it to see what the dead so would look like and all the genetic frontage posts loaded in... It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Fair dues. But I want to point out that it's more than the sum of it's parts. There are tons of mechanics, and they're all engaging in and of themselves. But the balance and the complementary gameplay loops make the game punch above it's weight.

I really like Back for Blood. They still haven't fixed getting mobbed by specials. And it's not high art. And it's not a forever game like Overwatch or Destiny. But it's fun and a good game to hangout with people in, without having to worry about too much strategy.

I think there is one main difference between xmpp and activitypub. A chat protocol gets better the more users it has. So the users were the killer app. xmpp arguably wasn't much worse off after Google left than before it got there.

Mastodon is a bit like this, in that lots of users are probably looking for the same type of content from the same users as they got on Twitter.

kbin/lemmy are a lot less like that. I just need enough people to surface interesting content and have a meaningful conversation. And I've already (mostly) got that now. If meta brought all of their users to link sharing it would probably get worse with clout-chasing, organic marketing, and low effort crap.
