The bait and switch on this one really caught me off guard and gave me a great laugh. Good post.

fedi is my home
Neurodivergent, certainly. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that a large majority of us are millenials. We've gone through this repeatedly in the internet age, changing chat or social platforms. We're the early adopters and eventually everybody on earth comes to crush it to death and then we rebuild somewhere else.

Fucking idiots
They found the fountain of youth and you call them "fucking idiots". Go to Narnia, live a full life, leave Narnia with your adult mind in tact, walk out of the wardrobe a kid again, repeat.

According to Elon Musk’s own math, the company formerly known as Twitter has lost 90% of its value and could be worth just $4 billion
For that to be true, it would have needed to be worth $44B in the first place, which it absolutely was not. But there is no doubt that his mismanagement has tanked the value of the investment. He's a narcissist so never see it that way, but the whole rest of the world knows that.

Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own
This whole thing is utter bullshit. It sounds like the game studios DO have a license, and they're claiming that Steam does not but should. Because you can't tell me that Microslop, EA, and Rockstar, three ENORMOUS giants in the gaming industry, have willingly opened themselves up to litigation by not licensing music in their games, something they've been making for decades. Why are they entitled to a license from the developer AND a license from the shop selling it? Of course, they're not, but let's hope this doesn't set precedent that says they are.

Bloodborne PC Emulation Makes Another Massive Breakthrough

Miyazaki has inferred multiple times that they would love to do a remake for PS5 or PC port, but Sony owns the IP and he's thus not allowed to talk about it and they can't touch it without Sony's blessing.

Valve Reaffirms Steam Machine Summer Launch

It's only suspicious if you haven't been watching the wildly swinging RAM pricing. It would be a far worse experience for Steam and for the consumer if they set a price and had to keep jacking it up before the product had even been released.

UFC star absolutely torches idea of "Hunger Games" fight at The White House
I don't give a fuck to fight in front of some fucking billionaires and rich people that could give a shit less about me. Probably throwing parlays. Fuck you guys."
I mean, I appreciate him taking a stand here. But I'm not really sure what he thinks his day job even is? MMA ticket prices for floor seats can be around $1,500, options up into the $10,000 range.

AOC says Trump's Iran strikes "clearly grounds for impeachment"
Only a rag would quote Fetterman and credit him as a Democrat. He doesn't act or believe what he did when he was elected as a Democrat, his perspective is irrelevant.

Internet shutdown in Iran is now the longest in world history

Don't be a pendant, you know what they fucking meant.
Edit: actually, it's not even pedantic, it's just wrong. Before the internet existed, there was never an internet shutdown.

That guy is Nathan Fillion. He is a treasure. Dr Horrible, The Suicide Squad, Superman, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm always happy when he pops up.

Senator demands answers after Trump accepted Rolex and gold bar before slashing tariffs on Switzerland
None of us could afford to, but DAMN is it cheap to buy Diaper Don (relatively speaking). The tariff revenue that Americans would generate on Swiss imports FAR exceeds the value of a watch and a bar of gold.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
Reply in thread
Having ublock on mobile is such a breath of fresh air. I wish I had made the transition sooner. I knew this was coming and completed my transition a few weeks back so I could abandon Chrome on my own time table and not on Google's. Other than a little headache trying to find extension replacements for pc, I'm LOVING it.

Hyundai to invest $2.7 billion in Georgia plant expansion after immigration raid
“We’re very happy to have announced the additional 200,000 unit capacity, in total $2.7 billion of additional investment which is going to give more confidence to the State of Georgia and our partners while all this visa and immigration issues get resolved immediately.”
I thought they had already learned the hard way, this blows my mind. What are the chances that the South Korean government forced their hand instead of Hyundai making the decision here to back out?

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
We're the generation that used forums all over the internet, Digg, and then reddit before it was cool. Now that reddit is going nuclear, we're all looking for our new home because we yearn for the internet we all grew up with as it slowly erodes away thanks to millionaires/billionaires ruining all that is good to make a buck.
