Two Sneer Clubs, both alike in dignity…

the number of people on /r/sneerclub who seem utterly unaware of the new digs is tragic.

feed it into their spicy autocomplete engines which then flood the internet with AI sludge

I’m getting a mental image of a wood chipper: a word chipper.

https://status.d420.de/ there’s a few nitters post-rebirth, all of them probably using a fleet of real accounts and anti-bot protection instead of the guest accounts that first-age nitter used.

Mouse-of-Theseus. Mouseus.

I have been trying to navigate the current mouse market, I am hoping that these new fancy “good for 20 million clicks” switches that have migrated from mechanical keyboards over to mice mean that my next mouse will last for 20 years or so. Now to just find a way to differentiate between the 500,000 mice that are all at the €45 price point with the same form factor and specs.

Calls it a “hostile takeover” even though he literally explains why it wasn’t a hostile takeover: Developers were way behind schedule and not making progress, Star Theory leadership tried to hold T2 hostage with the project and T2 called their bluff and cancelled the contract. They then offered developers to transfer to new studio. Some developers wanted a pay raise or didn’t transfer for other reason.

This seems like bad faith rules lawyering. The publisher didn’t literally buy out the studio, they just withheld funding, made a new studio they owned and forced everyone over. They took over, it was hostile.

Trippy, their username counts, Trippy. They are posting their username to your sub. Even if you ignore (don’t!) that usernames are links to their other Nazi posts, they are posting Nazi phrases, to your sub. “outside of the sub”? Trippy.

Can’t blame this shit on the survey!

I checked, crypto shit was not in any of the top 8 results (top 5 broken out, and they mentioned 3 more, which are surely #6 through #8).

To think that when sneer club/techtakes migrated to lemmy, I was pretty sure we would not be getting a lot of incidental traffic to the communities. Just about as wrong as you can be.
