I get a kick out of the idea that Canadian hospitals overflowing is because of COVID.
Oh geez, damn that COVID! it's been in our hospitals for going on 20 years now! If only that last 15% got vaccinated, everything would be different!

I had a dream once where the drill sergeant from full metal jacket screamed in my face: "half of all armies that go to war lost. Do your think the only reason is that they weren't trying hard enough?"
The distinction between "liberal" and "woke" or "left" gets more important all the time. It would be smart for the right (and the center, and the non lunatic left) wing to start making the distinction more explicit because having such an authoritarian ideology as wokeness taking on a mantle like liberal is dangerous. If that doesn't change then it'll end up being authoritarianism vs. authoritarianism and nobody will win.
My brain played a joke on me in my sleep.
It went "you really need to stop using pacifiers" and video panned across a table with a bunch of people (teenagers and young adults) sucking on pacifiers.
So then I'm looking at a post and it says "thankfully I've gotten myself horse[...] and the post text overflows.
So of course you're going "wtf an I about to see?" But then it shows the video holding some fuzzy pyjamas with pastel colored cartoon horses on them.
So I woke up going "on, that's pretty funny. Well played sleeping brain.

I haven't spent any time looking into it tbh. Threads only federates like 6 users at this point anyway, and it's read-only.
If there's demand for it I'll implement alex's fix at a later date when the patch reaches the regular codebase.

Probably because threads is blocking anything that isn't bland corpochow. They probably took fediblock at face value.
It blows me away that there aren't more third party voters. Even if it doesn't help anyone win if your candidate gets 5% of the vote that can change the conversation entirely.
Sometimes new terminology is key to finding a thing.
Today's term is one game one rom, or 1G1R.
Anyone with a perfectly legal rom collection knows the problem: there is version one of a rom. There's version two of them. There is the European version, the American version, the Japanese version come of the Korean version, and so on and so forth. Eventually you have 20 copies of the same game, and a game collection that is multiple times bigger than it has to be, and scrolling through all the games you have is really hard.
So there are tools out there that will take your existing perfectly legal ROM collection and select the most preferred version of a game and get rid of the rest.
