Gotosocial has a setting in development that is designed to baffle bots that don't respect robots.txt. FediDB didn't know about that feature and thought gotosocial was trying to inflate their stats.
In the arguments that went back and forth between the devs of the apps involved, it turns out that FediDB was ignoring robots.txt. ie, it was badly behaved
You’re free to argue for the normalising of slurs people level against you. I won’t stand in your way. But again, you don’t get to decide that slurs used against other people should be normalised, when the impact of those slurs isn’t felt by you.
Unless you’re trans, that isn’t your call to make. You don’t get to decide that it’s ok for people other than yourself to be exposed to slurs. Stay in your own lane.
Some people are academically gifted. Your flatmates experience was similar to mine, except as well as acing the exams, I failed the written piece assignments that I couldn't just throw together the day before they were due.
I had to when I changed the tyres on my ebike. The slick tyres were smaller diameter than the chunky off road fat tyres I had on there, and I had to tell it the new diameter so that it could correctly determine my speed.
For the most part, VR is a toy at this point. Interesting, but not compelling. The single exception I would say though, where it is genuinely transformational to gameplay rather than just gimmicky, is car/racing simulators and games. Most things, I can take or leave VR. But I can never play a racing sim again if it doesn't have VR. But, even if it doesn't come to Forza, it's no big loss, as there are plenty of VR enabled alternatives out there (though mostly on PC to be fair)
I own Forza 5 on the Xbox, and GT7 on my PS5. Historically, I've preferred the Xbox over the Playstation, but my experience on GT7 with VR on the PS5 basically killed Forza 5 and the Xbox for me.
So if Forza 5 comes to PS5 with VR support, for me, this will be good news. But if it doesn't come with VR support, I won't bother.
And I guess, ultimately, it's bad news either way, because I probably won't be going back to the Xbox whatever they do.
