Agree

I use both and much prefer Mastodon. As others have said, it’s more mature and the apps (of which there are many) are more polished. Bluesky is a bit glitchy and less feature rich. In fact, you still can’t mute phrases on Bluesky, which is a deal breaker for me.

Mastodon is harder to find people due to the federated nature, although some mobile apps such as Megalodon on Android and Ice Cubes on iOS do pull follower and following lists from remote instances which makes it easier to find people.

Bluesky is more like old Twitter, and many people who I’ve followed for years are on there. Trying to out quip each other. Mastodon is more friendly and I’ve found lots of interesting people to follow.

I wonder if it’s too much to hope for 50hz versions. Seem to recall the Britbox episodes were 25hz (at least initially when I had a trial). I find classic Who unwatchable at 25hz sadly. Got to have that smooth video camera motion for the studio scenes!

I’ve completely dropped off BF this year, and don’t even have much of an idea of what has been released! Would appreciate a suggestion for what to jump into first. Thinking about the Second Doctor / James McCrimmon box if that’s out yet.

My Life in Gaming

Unfortunately I played it on console… Either Switch or Xbox, but I see it’s on sale on Steam at the moment, so maybe I’ll give it a go on PC and can always fall back on some mods if need be. Thanks.

I’m getting a bit older and have mild arthritis and being forced to play games “as developers intended” really grinds my gears. I’m stuck someway through Hollow Knight and doubt I’ll ever go back to it. Some of us are already playing things on hard mode!

More like “this is the PS3 that came with the pile of dust I bought.”

I honestly cannot remember when I last watched a movie. However, in the last week I’ve binged two seasons of Star Trek Discovery.

Someone with more recent experience can probably answer better. But I went a good number of years ago, only because I was driving to Bournemouth and it was ok the way (sort of). It was BUSY and both inspiring and disappointing. Would I go again? Maybe, but probably not at the height of tourist season. Also it’s about 100 miles from London, so it will take a good chunk of your day. I think you’d need to be in London for 5 days to a week to justify the day trip. But, that’s just me!

My getting old moan is that my hands barely function when I wake. I used to think it was because I lie on them, but apparently it’s a form of arthritis. No doubt brought on my 30 years of work in videogames development. Luckily my SO has brought me a cup of tea to wrap my creaking hands around to warm them up and get them moving again.

Cassette Beasts requires a controller on game pass, sadly

Agree that Stray is very good. It’s not too long either. Shame about BioShock, but they are always on sale. Also I think the collection was a monthly game back in 2020, some of us may still have it.

No luck catching them swans then?

Is your tip still open? When we had bin strikes last year they closed the tips too.

Does this answer your question?

I’m also not OP but I have one of these. Also using GarlicOS. Took a bit of tweaking the get things set up, but loving it. I’d definitely recommend, but you may need to fiddle to get it working exactly right. Struggles with some PS1 titles, but otherwise excellent.

Personally I’m an oat milk man. Primarily because I kept getting confused since Aldi’s soya milk (yum) and almond milk (boak) have nearly identical red colour packaging, while the oat is totally different.

But… If I had to do cow juice, it’s true blue baby. All the rest is water.

I was thinking about buying Alan Wake recently too. Loved it on the 360 when it originally came out. Properly hooked me in. Time for a replay. Excellent.

I’m not using Jerboa at the moment, it’s a bit wonky for me. So, I’m switching between a few apps: Thunder, Liftoff and Connect. Some seem to be better than others in terms of presenting a summary.

However, I don’t have a solution! I appreciate your work and I also appreciate your conundrum. If there was some way to intelligently filter news stories. I’m not sure how. Perhaps a script that does a google search on a headline to see if it has been picked up by multiple sites and only then post it? Or if there as way for you to review posts before they are posted. I don’t know much about the inner workings of Lemmy. Can you make it so all posts from the bot(s) needs to be moderated, and you can review and say, “yes or no”? So that you can act like a filter to choose the most interesting ones that may lend themselves to debate.
