@mint @theorytoe @Tadano not even just apologizing but even helping some people can fuck you over.
I'm sure we've all had that friend who we tried to help and instead he dug himself further into a hole. Of course the end result is pure apathy towards said person from everyone.
"Okay who called the cops on me again after my post where I told my friends I was going to kill myself now" -

@Tadano @theorytoe I've had to learn this the hard way, there's numerous people you shouldn't apologize to. Of course so many people are naive or have sus managers calling the shots instead.
I learned years ago don't let some cuck manager control you. -

imagine waking up and finding people blaming you for their DMs being leaked -

So here's a reminder to anyone on the fedi; DIRECT MESSAGES ARE NOT PRIVATE! Never, ever, use the fedi chat as a private secure chat.
It's been commonly talked about about how fedi DMs are insecure because some admin on a power trip can easily get the SQL database (on either instance, mind you) if he has a grudge against you and leak them. So many shitty fedi instance operators are notorious for petty grudges.
However recently something else happened; an entire instance (Chudbuds.lol) just got hacked with the database leaked and DMs and everything posted. Even worse, the site got hacked via the owner being utterly inept with computers, you know the classic "click an .exe file and run some nicephoto.jpg.exe" trick people used back in the 00s that somehow big corporations have issues with. Of course that instance was a high profile target, being next to the "dramasphere" on the fediverse.
Now here's the thing; even if you didn't have an account on said instance, any message you sent via DM to a user of this instance got leaked as well.
It's vastly more secure to do any sort of chats offline with people, maybe just use DMs to share messenger IDs. There's Matrix, XMPP, or even Telegram or Discord (still less leak prone than fedi DMs) that exist and can be used to talk about something off site, away from admins. This is especially true if you're on or talking to a user from a high profile or notorious instance where the owner/some users have attracted the attention of raging shut-ins who will stop at nothing to take said instance down.
Don't get me started on if the datacenter is raided and the server is raided. I'm actually seeing people talk about using the fedi as a decentralized communications platform in Ukraine, which is a bad idea if someone else were to take the servers and dump the DB, let alone hackers.
Tl;dr fedi DMs are not secure and don't use them as such. -

I had a Zune when it was new and needless to say, it was the right product at sorely the wrong time, and it had the same issue iDevices had where you had to use a special program to sync them (but other devices at the same time had that issue too, like Dell's DJ players).
It was highly polished, with an early version of the "Metro" UI (or rather modified Media Center UI for firmware 1.x), had a much bigger screen than the iPod 5/5.5/6th gen (the nanos copied the form factor), and IMO what killed it was mismanagement. Microsoft chose to buy Nokia and Danger and squandering both instead of making their own Zune phone, in fact a common post on the forums for the Zune back in the day was "where is the Zune phone at". If it had come out even 2 years before, it would have done much better, the problem is literally a few months later Apple announced the iPhone.
As WP7 showed and NT having to be ported to phones showed, Microsoft also dropped the ball on that front too. They were behind Android and wanted to make a more "polished OS" as opposed to the anarchy of WinMo and the radical anarchy of early Android before Google began to dictate and force standards. They also were very strict about what hardware could technically run WP7/8, and they had the same issue with RT and currently Windows on ARM. -

That's the Microsoft Zune logo and he was heavily mocked by tech sites and social media back in the day for literally being both the definition of a walking billboard and one for a company that wasn't making a successful product. -

@dem @theorytoe @Ryle @AlgorithmWolf the best one I saw is pl.gamers.exposed.
It's pleroma minus a frontend, you need a frontend running locally or a client to use that setup, and to view it you have to be on an instance or through the frontend. -

Don't play online games if they don't have private servers players actually control with no spying. -

tl;dr they literally are pushing for the cyberpunk dystopia of both deanonymizing people and regulating high powered hardware so only the government/AWS can have access to it instead of being also for those who have a nice job/max out credit cards. There's been /g/ memes joking about this, and also mocking the developer of tortoise for refusing to release the full code/model. -

An insider I know said it best; it's just moving the wealth and profits from ExxonMobil and BP to Tesla and battery companies like BYD. -

WWE is basically dying at this point, it's one of those things where the only thing people reference is the "glory days" of the 90s and maybe early 00s (and the WCW, namely Hulk Hogan and the nWo), or shit like the John Cena memes.
In the early 2010s all the kids were into UFC instead, maybe TNA. What is funny is that there's some very "fascinating" people attaching themselves to it, I know both ICP and Billy Corgan have their own smaller promotions and while you'd expect ICP, I had no idea the smashing pumpkins guy was into pro wrestling. -

I had trashy cousins into WWE and the games are a good meme tbh, it's funny making infamous people online or popular characters in them. -

For sure. Nintendo didn't have this issue for a reason; the Wii U was the lead platform or sole platform. Third party devs on the other hand were dealing with the fact that the aging soon to be replaced platforms from MS/Sony had stronger CPUs, and the devs at this point had numerous tricks they could have abused.
If the 360 era had lasted longer or the console came out earlier, it would not have been as much of an issue but this was a serious one because as the Xbox One and PS4 were the lead platforms, the Wii U was left behind hard. Tying it to the Wii was a fatal mistake as well as the Wii was dying in the eyes of normies or on the level of "phone games". -

Let me elaborate it; there's a difference between an I7-2600 and a Atom n2600. The Wii U CPU was the latter and it was genuinely a slow CPU, put it this way one of the people hacking the console said the Ouya of all things had a faster CPU. That's not a joke. -

A few games used the dual screen mode well, but eventually Nintendo began to realize the truth is most people used screen #2 for something else entirely; gaming anywhere in the house. Furthermore; it was not uncommon for diehard Wii U evangelists to bring their Wii U on the go and a Kotaku writer in 2013 wrote an article lamenting the fact that Nintendo Marketing was so sorely missing the fact that Off-TV play was the most popular feature among owners.
