Humenity’s selvation will come from tripping on drugs?

trademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn’t reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.

Learning to drive. I’ve met a few people who didn’t learn to drive until their late 20’s or 30’s and there always seems to be some awkwardness to their driving. On the opposite side, learning to drive at 16 seems to encourage reckless habits to form, people I’ve known who waited until 18 have much better driving habits on average.

Uh, the first one. It’s all downhill after that. It’s the only one he’s ever pulled off. Look at the goals for the master plan part 2 and you’ll see that they haven’t managed to do a single one, but Elon still went ahead a published a part 3. Why actually meet goals when you can just pretend you’ve met them by posting new ones, I guess.

The pikmin 4 demo

This graph has some scale issues; 5 days and 2 months look basically the same and the difference between 5 years and 7 years is also minimal. They would have been better off dropping the “World Wide Web” which doesn’t fit anyway since it isn’t an app and giving more space to everything else.

Yes, but I’ve forgotten it now

It’s another site in fediverse. It’s a link aggregator like Lemmy is. I’m replying to your comment from kbin :)

Apple could do this but they’d be driving away their customer base, the hardware is fine but software is really the reason to get an iphone.

Isn’t that about 50 years? unless your grandkids are already born.

strava strikes again

I don’t really agree with this article. The argument seems to rest on the idea that a representative democracy is a compromise on direct democracy. In reality, even though I have the ability to meaningfully participate in every election a direct democracy would entail, I have no desire to because I have other things I would rather spend my time doing.

Similarly, even if I have the ability to run my own instance (admittedly I do not, but many of us early adopters do), I do not want to. I’m happy to let other people do it as long as those people seem like broadly agree with my morals. I don’t need an close relationship, just a trustful one. This digital forum inherently has even better benefits than real life; if I realize I dislike my current instance, I have the option to move to another instance or create my own. In real life I can only move to another district or hope to vote out my current rep.

I upvote my own posts too, I do try to avoid boosting my own posts. We’re from kbin though, I think on Lemmy self-upvotes are automatic.

This is an ongoing problem with our Information Age. The fediverse already has this problem, though to a much lesser degree than reddit. Look at the structure of titles of threads on the political magazines/communities here. They are designed to make you outraged, because the sources they come from made their titles with engagement in mind and that permeates over to here. My hope is that the group of people on the fediverse, who are more interested in the future of the internet than most, will give rise to an idea that helps combat this problem.

I’m almost too afraid to ask, is this intentional irony?

In the 90’s you could’ve written an equally true headline replacing “Tesla owners” with “PC owners”. It’s not an indication that BEV’s are a fad, it’s an indication that wealth inequality and sexism continues to this day.

Sure thing; Sony shows it in the official teardown of the ps5.

I’m imagining him planning his vacation but making sure not to do anything that would make a good video. People who know him are suggesting off the beaten path attractions, ands just like no - I’m going to disney world.

For long live the queen at least, this is a whole sub genre of visual novels called stat-raisers. LLTQ was inspired by series princess maker. Princess maker 2 is available on steam and is probably the most popular one. As for games like exocolonist check out the rpg/vn hybrids made by Winter Wolves, she’s made a whole bunch of them and is in the process of running a kickstarter for a sequel to one of them.

Consider joining m/Otomegames, which full disclosure I run. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with otome games but it’s a genre of visual novels targeted towards women. The romance in games coming out of Japan tend to be exclusively girlxboy, but ones made in the west tend to let you pick your gender and allow both straight and lgbt romances. Most of them are straight visual novels without the stat-raising or RPG elements. Thus, the content on m/Otomegames will be mostly tangential, but both games you mentioned are considered otome adjacent, and I include games like them on my bi-weekly news round up.

If this is happening to you look up how to clean the inside of your ps5. The ps5 has a special place you can vacuum out the inside (which normally breaks electronics)
