@paulthenerd@cupoftea.social I can see it going overboard, like with Fortnite (so I've heard); I don't know about MultiVersus but I think the Smash Bros. series has done a good job. I think it is really cool taking a character you know and love and playing as them in a fighting game.
It has actually encouraged me to play some of the game series some of the characters came from.

I do worry about the future, though; if crossovers become too common I feel like characterization itself will begin to become fluffy….

@wonderofscience Since gravity is generally used to define "down", and you need a down to have a "height" (from where you are to the nearest large object downward (the "ground")), it makes sense that a low-gravity environment could make one less scared of heights.

Just reported a #YouTube side-pane ad for a "seductive" see-through swimsuit. We'll see how long it takes for Google to not take it down.

@royal That's terrible....

Interesting, the terms of use that #Respondus #LockDownBrowser shows you before a test is different from the one on their website. The website one is last updated on January 2022, and the one that LockDown Browser shows you is March 2024. Notably the latest one has an #arbitration section and the older one doesn't.

Second time trying to set up a Matrix chat server, and geez what a bad experience. The job isn't done until documentation is written.... Maybe I somehow missed their server documentation? I couldn't find any documentation for setting up a server, on https://matrix.org/. Maybe they don't have an implementation. I thought they made Synapse.

What if all this plugging in and unplugging from people has worn off the gold plating?
I don't think we were designed to enter and leave communities and homes as often as we do.

I think we weren't made to travel around so often, and that "small towns" were the original idea

Just a heads-up: #ValnetInc is a company that claims to acquire and manage multiple publishing and internet-based businesses, including journalistic websites like #HowToGeek, #AndroidPolice, and #MakeUseOf.

#PSA: Pi is just how many diameters long a circle's circumference is.

c = dπ

Took me a while to realize this.

If Jesus forgives me, then I have no business not forgiving myself.

@mike @MobileOak Wouldn't spd-say or espeak work? Spd-say is pre-installed on a lot of Linux systems.

Sometimes taking a picture of people having a good time "captures the moment", in the sense that it gets taken into the photo and you don't get it back....

OK that's rather melancholic. Pics are often nice.

@briankrebs Would probably shorten the length of gunman sprees in schools. Would also make it easier for gunmen to find a gun in schools. Hopefully it will save more lives than it takes away.
