yet another reason to switch to organic maps

it uses activitypub, but after the drama with cofounder mullenweg it's basically another asshole-controlled platform i would avoid

what's wrong with mull i didn't get the memo

sometimes teaching be like going the opposite way and turning complex theories into relatable shitposts

unfortunately this is not free on GOG right now, just 75% off. I see this a UK community though so maybe it is free, but only in UK?

also you can just scrape the burnt part off with a knife

I've also seen people turning to Mastodon for fundraising. Kinda wish the headline would say "social media" in general instead of just insta and tiktok but the point gets across. Shit is fucked.

I agree with the under-16 social media ban, but figuring out how and who implements is definitely going to be the hard part. Ideally it would be parents first, but that's been the status quo up to now and it hasn't worked. And as someone who has been "18+" online since I was 10... raising the age limit on the services themselves is only going to work to a certain extent. I'm very curious to see how this plays out.

if your kid is like me (and there are probably some) maybe they will pretend to be asleep even if they wake up when you slip it under. i always knew it was the parents, i just wanted the money.

nooo I was gonna say Urbz!

another +1 for Heroic. Lutris never worked for me, would only install games but not launch them, and I'm not skilled enough to figure out why. Almost certainly something specific to my setup. But Heroic makes things easy-peasy.

And yeah, if Heoric doesn't work for some reason, Bottles usually will.

I loved it. Loved the historical setting and its exploration of racism, imperialism, capitalist exploitation at that time and place with the perspectives of diverse characters.

I already enjoy linguistics and learning languages, so I may be biased towards already liking the premise of the novel. (And dark academia is totally up my alley.) The way the author explores the nature of language and how certain parts of ideas always get lost in translation was pretty cool; and using that as a form of magic (that could then be exploited only from native speakers of the language no less) was so cleverly done.

Add in the character conflicts between the four friends, a campus strike, and working class solidarity (with a dash of "be gay do crime")... I was hooked.

Adding on to what many have already said to give it a name: multiple intelligences
