Tumblr's backend has been passed between several companies* for several decades, it's a miracle it still works and can be updated

*some of which don't even know what tumblr is

And why are they releasing it like this instead of releasing everything at once?

It's the same as civ 6. Having a 2k account gave an extra leader for Rome, all leaders have unique abilities, it's not just cosmetic.

It is probably moddable as custom leaders were possible in civ 6

It's probably to make cross-platform easier (since it's releasing same day on all platforms)

Coincidentally, ksp also uses the 2k launcher as it was published* by a take two label, private division (rip)

*after they bought the ip

There's also an .exe you could use if you're on windows

My guess is because it's unicode. But that doesn't really matter. How often are you going to want to put the icon instead of just typing the fediverse

My keyboard autocorrected this into thus once

I'm using the default samsung one, don't know the name

I couldn't find one in my 10 second search. I think most are made for personal use.

And the parents of said baby

You get free replacements regardless of warranty

If only brexit didn't happen...

Oh you have access? You got any spare referals? Asking for a friend with the friend code 998621885

Closed playtests are usually with very in-development builds. People post the barely functioning game to social media and the game gets bad press. Release day rolls around and no one buys it because "that was that one game that looked bad a while ago"

This seems like a stupid train of thought but a lot of people think like this

I will kill the next ascii cat I need to rate helpful to pet

I use it as well. People hating it completely is weird. I get that for profit is stinky but most people don't complain about that, they complain about it using a different protocol. As long as it is foss, (which it is) using a different protocol is fine, especially because their whole point of developing their own protocol is to achieve feature parity with Twitter

Edit: before anyone mentions, you can host your own bluesky instance now

You can look at the app list on join-lemmy.org. Ignore the big scary warnings on there about non foss apps unless you want a foss app. Most of the proprietary apps are just made by hobbyists who don't want the world to see their spaghetti code.

I also use boost, everything about it seems to work apart from spoiler tags (think because the app still uses reddit's format instead of lemmy's).

Depends on the writer, chances are that those in the bbc who are involved with the mastodon instance are the nerds (like us) and the writer of this article doesn't know as much and is just listing the places the MPs went, and they are politicians so they wouldn't know about the "nerdy options"

Not my story but my dad's. He was in London for work and was using the public transit. I don't know if it's like this anywhere else but uk buses throw you around a lot. So a group of American tourists got on, with their typical "having a conversation with a stranger" behaviour, something unacceptable in the uk (/hj). The bus starts and the Americans just go flying and the entire bus of brits are just laughing at them.
