Exodos is SSS tier.
Holy crap, it lets you play over 7000 MS-DOS games, and it catalogues the settings required to make the games work so they all start with a click. The full version is a whopping 1TB(!!!!!), the lite version only contains metadata and is still 6GB, and when you go to install a game it downloads it using bittorrent from no doubt legal sources.
It even lists some of those old shareware games everyone has forgotten.
People who aren't old as the hills might not know this, but even if you had a top tier computer back in the 90s, you didn't have any guarantee that a game would run. I was subscribed to gaming magazines back then (as was the style at the time) and you'd have a game that didn't claim to need anything special, and it'd crash on startup -- completely dead, never to run. Same with some shareware, the stars aligned and it didn't want to run and it didn't matter what you did with your config.sys or autoexec.bat it wasn't running, so that's incredible that even for the old shareware stuff you can just click, download, and play.

You muted me last time I bothered digging up actual data, so I'll just leave it at "ok."
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 only cold winter came from the economic and social consequences to their insane policies
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.
They play all the ads after 1pm, "rough morning? You may be eligible for a huge cash settlement."
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.
