I've been sitting on this Evercade review for a few weeks now waiting for motivation to write it down. And now I can look forward to writing about carts I've enjoyed more than this. But for anyone curious, here's what I thought about Gremlin Collection 2. blog.nromdotcom.cloud/gremlin-coll...

And it was all worth it cause when I got back that run was a success!

Although plugging in my Super Pocket and letting it sit there powered on because I have to go run an errand is authentically retro.

Roguecraft DX would be the perfect pick-up-and-play Evercade game for taking with you on a Super Pocket if you could suspend runs. Even without that it's an excellent game that plays great on the go. Just sometimes I don't have an hour uninterrupted and feel back abandoning or sabotaging good runs.

> Tim Wu coined the term ‘tyranny of convenience’ to describe the tendency for ease-of-use to prevail over other concerns such as privacy and accountability: ‘Created to free us, [convenience] can become a constraint on what we are willing to do, and thus in a subtle way it can enslave us’ Real.

Thursday Murder Club movie adaptation was okay as its own thing, but quite poor as an adaptation of the book. At least the casting was good for the most part, except what were they thinking with Pierce Brosnan?

Not only is it possible, it's happening already - including but not limited to Blacksky. But the main thing is, theoretically these other apps also need to comply with the law or risk the consequences. But different communities will have different approaches to that.

Well she had some time open up in her schedule after nobody showed up for that speech in Myrtle Beach.

It's not that useful insights can't come from flamewars. Competition isn't bad. But come on, isn't there an easier way to do this without endless sniping, posturing, and bad faith arguments? Both protocols are cool and have their strengths. There's no contest to win. Maybe we can be friends?

Man. I first joined fediverse via mastodon in 2017. Even ran my own instance for a few years. But constant squabbling between devs/admins/contributors/etc eventually burned me out. I'm poking my head back in via Ghost's ActivityPub integrations, but shit like this suggests things haven't changed.

There's a lot of chat between (and direct overlap within) the ATproto (bsky&friends) and ActivityPub (masto&friends) dev circles. A little more adversarial than I'd like to see a lot of times, but folks who care to cross-pollinate between the two indeed have plenty of opportunities to do so.

It's important to learn the difference between "I disagree because [reasoned argument]" and "oh yeah well you're a poopyhead." And to learn when to respond, when to reflect, and when to ignore. Online and offline.

But even on other platforms or situations, you can still choose to observe this. Platforms have trained us to engage everywhere all the time, but you really can just choose not to. Society has trained us - especially dudes - not to let anyone "disrespect" us. But c'mon bro it's the Internet.

The hidden 3rd truth is that if someone responds to your post, you are not obligated to engage in the conversation (i.e: even if 2, then still 1), especially if those replies actually _are_ low-value. Bsky gives you good tools to enforce this - mutes, blocks, quote detaches, interaction settings.
