  • Your catching me off guard but uh sure

    • loops is a new tiktok like app for the fediverse. And probably most relevant. I say probable because i am still uncomfortable with this type of social media so i dont know what people expect or want from it.

    • odysee. Similar algorithm based video scrolling but have not tried it.

    • lemmy, bet you heard of this one before.

    • mastodon, a similar trend of today. People left twittercorp shithole. Had to make a choice between established actual alternative or brand new and empty twittercorp shithole 2.0

    If these event thoughts me something its that people actually have no problem changing platforms and websites. Which i previously thought was the case. Its just seems unpredictable what actual sets a digital migration in motion and to where people will flock.





  • I have been breaking my head over this chess puzzle.

    Its entirely possible to have the horses and bishops play together but the problem is but they require separate entrances also separate from the rooks entrance. Then you have to position it so the horses cant exploit one entrance into another and escape.

    Not for a second do i believe the author is not aware of it, i think they tried it and then gave up on that particular detail.

    Come to think off it, the only reason that we cant have a large communal area for all pieces of the same colour is to let the bishops meet with those of the opposite color. If not for that it would mean every one sPIECEs has 5 other sPIECEs to hang out with, surely that an improvement on this premise where its max 2 3.



  • The measurement is “counties” away from the coast. Not miles nor km.

    I realise now its literally in the title but for some reason the terminology did not compute and i just kept reading it as miles.

    I thought there was something seriously off with this map or that it was a good example of the mercator distortion and had started to compare distances between cities.

    Interestingly enough it wan ai (claude) that pointed this out from just the raw pic.

    “The methodology of measuring by county units rather than strict distance creates an interesting visualization ”



  • I just realized. Windows 10 is being shelved but there is only one version ahead of it.

    I remember xp still being considered good when i had win 8 installed.

    How is that not understood as as a blatant attempt to maximize user control?

    Actually looking at the numbers xp and 8.1 retired within 2 years of eachother. And 10 first got retired in 2020 a year before win 11 was released to make way of windows as a service updates which is actually what is getting retired later this year.

    Microsoft kindly please get your shit together… or dont and strengthen my work requests to migrate systems to Linux.



  • Rich people work so hard to deserve their perverse wealth /s The only way they can still blow of steam is by pretending to grind online multiplayer games no actual working person has enough time for.

    What kind of flex is this supposed to be?

    I dont know path of exile in detail but being a top mmo player has always struck me of an archivement in dedication of time much more then inherent skill. The learned skill the pros have just comes natural with enough dedication.

    My general reaction to something like it is not more then . Wow “you” must really enjoy this particular game. Is that reaction really worth cheating for?

    Do we think he lacks the general life experience to be able to reflect on the common knowledge that a pro failed more times then the beginner has tried?

    I known Elon is neurodivergent if not full on autistic but so am i and i cant make sense of this guys wims.
