Not gonna lie, at the half when the Thunder were down I decided to go to the gym instead of sit on the couch.

It was me. My act of watching was making the Thunder play bad. I'm the problem.

They are scared for their lives if they do something, yet they are the only ones who can stop it and are too cowardly to do so.

Incredibly aggravating.

As I understand it, these changes don't affect browsers that use FF as a base, so Zen Browser might not be affected.

I've been trying it out this week, and it's good. And can still use all the FF extensions.

I have a friends Discord I set up a year before Covid, and for about a year only 3 people used it, mainly to play some games together.

But when Covid hit, it obviously gained some traction. And now it's THE place I interact with friends since I've long ditched the likes of Facebook.

I keep going back and forth on whether or not to possibly set up a Mastodon server for friends. The hardest part would be convincing people to use it. But it could just be like our little shared space that could still interact with the wider world. It'd be kinda cool to have a Local feed be just people you know in real life.

Now that it has been three years, while I'd like to have one, I feel like I'll just wait until whatever the next version is - even if that means waiting another year or so.

I don't need one, particularly, and I don't want to be caught at the tail end of this hardware.

For real. Thunder should have won with the lead they had.

But, in basketball, no 20 point lead is safe.

If the students aren’t wholly writing their own essays from start to finish then what’s the point?

Ok, but did Clinton do this in the dumbest fucking way possible?

That’s the difference.

For someone who has the charisma of a wet paper bag, it’s interesting Mr. Beast got so popular.

They should be nicer

This is just funny. A big part of the conservative movement is pointing at other people and calling them “snowflakes” when they are the biggest bitches on the planet.

 

Before I jump down a big rabbit hole to try and figure out how to make a custom feed, I thought I may ask some folks here a question I've had on my mind.

I like the Discover feed generally. I like the idea - I can find some posts outside of my own followers. That's nice.

But my issue is that it often throws in posts from 20 hours+ ago. Things move too quickly, and posts that old are...too old. I wish it was at max something around 3-4 hours old.

So therein lies my question: does anyone know of a feed that's basically just the Discover feed but with better time constraints?

Thanks!

 

This is a pretty great, long form post about the structure of Bluesky, and how it's largely kinda pretending to be decentralized at the moment. I'm not trying to make a dig at it. I've enjoyed the platform myself for a while, but it's good to learn more about how it actually works.

Your FFXIV Conspiracy Theories (self.finalfantasyxiv)
submitted 6 months ago by garretble to c/finalfantasyxiv
 

This is largely a silly post, but I'm curious if anyone has any fun conspiracy theories. Like why does Tataru need that knife on her belt? Is it because she's got some NEFARIOUS dealings going on to get all that money?

More so, I just wanted to see if anyone else believes that the Random Mount button isn't fully "random." I swear I see the same handful of mounts summoned more than others. If I see the Manacutter or Yol summoned ONE MORE TIME, I swear...

It’s now been about a month (somehow) since Dawntrail launched, so I assume most of us have finished the MSQ, and I’m curious about your thoughts!

For me, I actually really enjoyed not being the center of attention the whole time. It was a nice palette cleanser from the last ten years. It was fun to tag along see this whole new continent. Of course, things do end up getting more serious than that, and I was impressed they were able to get me to care about all these new people so quickly.

The new dungeons and group content all felt good. I liked that none of it seemed to be pushovers, and myself and my friends died several times figuring out the various boss battles — which is a good thing!

I just finished the story last night so I’m now at the point where there are some new quests which I assume will open up some new content. So I have no opinion there yet.

But what about you all?

 

I’m about halfway through the story at this point, but I’ve really been enjoying these new starting zones.

Something that I never really did with the previous expansions is try and do a lot of side quests as I go. It’s been fun to learn more about these new characters and their cultures.

 

Inject it into my veins.

NOOOO MY DARLING BOY

Four years removed from being a first-round draft pick, Aleksej Pokuševski's tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunder has come to an end.

The Thunder announced on Friday they have waived the 22-year-old forward.

Pokuševski was originally selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who traded his rights to Oklahoma City in a three-team deal that also involved the New York Knicks. He was the youngest player in that draft class The trade has turned out to be very notable for all three teams involved. Minnesota acquired the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels, while the Knicks got the rights to Immanuel Quickley.

 

I just started using this app today after wading through bug after bug with Voyager. Like many, Apollo was my go-to app for years and years, so it’s natural to gravitate to the one that looks exactly like it.

However, I consume this type of content mostly on my iPad, and often I’m using Stage Manager with an external KB and trackpad. Voyager in this mode barely works, so I’m just making a post here to say thanks for making this app feel great in this mode. 😎

 

This came up in my YouTube recommendations, and it’s pretty fun to watch as a Thunder fan.
