Mike Magee, one of The Register co-founders died 🥲
Not today, but I only found out now, when someone posted a link on HNews: https://fudzilla.com/news/59503-mike-mageek-is-dead

I really enjoy your choice of words, but isn't this how stuff always arrives from AliExpress? 🤣
@grey
It's the dev's call of course, decide what they spend their time on, but other software which I might use depends on it — often on the latest version (which is frustrating in its own way) which is broken or buggy 80% of time.

Sadly, it even made inroads into the software development side of things. Luckily I do not have to deal with npm shit, but it looks like a prime example of it: https://bvisness.me/microlibraries/
But it's not JS only — it's everywhere: Python, Go… I'm probably in the minority still using PowerPC and 32-bit Intel machines, but this "let's de-prioritise support for obsolete architectures and support Apple Silicagel instead!" pisses me off immensely.

Aren't these mass-produced (not in big quantities of course) and sold on AliExpress? 🤔
I think I've seen a disassembly thread of this thing somewhere here on Fedi…
But I don't mind of course — it's still a very cool product!

Well, it makes some people more bearable 🤭

Oppenheimer is sure not the best choice for a movie date 😂
@FrailLeaf
I refuse to!
The thought of arriving back in the eighties when smoking made you one of the cool kids seems more… inspiring 🤪

Smoking makes you cool again? What year is it? 🥴

Куда интереснее вопрос: «А зачем эта страна нужна их детям и им?» 😂

But this is still a good thing, right? Because apparently a lot of Western celebrities don't know whom they better stay away from, e.g. Seal: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/seal-takes-heat-for-serenading-chechen-strongman-466042/
“By going there, I played MUSIC for the Chechenyan people. I’m a MUSICIAN and would appreciate if you leave me out of your politics”,— OMG, that is so pathetic, especially the "leave me out of your politics" part🤦
@MK2boogaloo
Why is motion blur a good thing? 🤔
It might make things look more "realistic", but otherwise is one of the most annoying effects ever IMO
@sun
Subvert? I've always thought they have established it! Something offers you defence against DDoS — and suddenly it's everywhere, in just a few years it's nearly a monopoly! I can't imagine anything more fishy than that!
And revenue model is oddly close to "protection money", having extensive access to all that infrastructure they can organise the DDoS, then offer you a solution.

I think on Fedi I see "flabbergasted" way more often than I normally should 😅

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
