       Hot take #3.It is both true that Southland Tales is a terrible goddamned movie, and that it is significantly more fun than many movies coming out today.We need more stuff that's bad in an interesting way, and less stuff that's good in a boring way.

       Hot take #5.I don't give one half of a shit about sports, but it's really neat to share in the joy when someone else does.Nerds can be cool, even when they're nerdy about something that's not your cup of tea.

       Hot take #6.Sonic 2006 was abjectly terrible, but the series has suffered immensely by trying to distance itself from 06.(Side take: I'm very much looking forward to my copy of #SonicFrontiers arriving in a few days. ♥)

       Hot take #7.Final Fantasy did the same thing after FF8, hedging back on many of its most interesting ideas (no MP, summons are more than glorified attack spells, highly differentiated limit breaks, weapon growth, etc.) for quite a few years.

       I think I've hit critical mass, my Mastodon timeline is now more active than my Twitter timeline. 💖

       @noracodes Ah, hell, they'd be talking about how TBL's new app is so hard to use because it doesn't tell you what websites to visit.

       It strikes me how many of the arguments against the fediverse would have found an equal home in arguing against the world-wide web in favor of AOL.The fediverse isn't perfect, far from it. But the core idea of an internet that is neither a billionaire's playground nor a set of isolated burbclaves is worth fighting for. Accordingly, it's critical to make sure that the fediverse works for people, not just as a philosophical ideal, but as a reality.

       @Gankra "Safety measures make memory-unsafe languages slow." Good fuck, I love that they explicitly call out the whole "Rust is slow" canard.

       My goodness, but I would love if File Explorer / Nautilus / Finder style apps would display README.{txt,md,rst} files similar to how GitHub does it. Would love to be able to leave reminders to myself as to what the fuck a folder is for.

       @misty I was very confused for a minute... that was totally unnecessary, agreed.

       @misty Gah, seems like everything had to have it's own Clubhouse-like embedded in it, too. Twitter Spaces, perhaps most infamously...
