Is a joke. Mostlyes.
Do it for my grandma, do it for nine eleven, but above all, do it for beanis
oh my bad, I could have sworn it was free... it's also been a decade since I've looked at it...
I miss TF2 updates, cool to see this formatted like one.
Earmarking the boat docked in the harbor is interesting, Borealis reference maybe?
Game you buy vs free game, if we're taking this seriously. Any free to play game is gonna have a larger install base of kids, simply because they don't have money.
That's kinda what's so amusing about him. And it makes him a better barometer of where your average chud yankee is; the people who vote "R" and maybe even have a media diet of Fox News, but are still kind and decent to others in their actual interpersonal interactions. The walking contradictions, if I'm being really crass about it.
Seeing the savvy poke through actually makes me see him as less of a creep, personally. It's the figures who never break kayfabe - they're chilling.
Oh, this one is a logistical tool! That's really cool
That weather balloon was a fun news cycle

No, I said Windows, not Switch 2

I had to exorcize this one from my brain
These screen shots, these prompts... this is what I'd expect code to look like in a sci-fi written by someone who doesn't really know anything about computers. Except its real, and the product of billion dollar companies.

they're torpedoing the only damn legible thing left on that website!
I kinda just assumed all mammals have belly buttons. But then I realized, I've given many dogs many belly rubs, and I've never noticed a navel. So whats the deal with that? We're not the only one's that got em, right?
maaaaybe these unnamed instances are using this to root out reactionary content?

Freaking out about "people we strongly disagree with" using a sketchy moderation tool on "their instances"?
A specter is haunting the fediverse, and that spectre is 
. Well really its mostly lemmy.ml but sometimes they remember we exist too.
