Good work :)

The morning activity reads “walk, lunges”, right? Don’t forget to do something for your hamstrings as well, like (weighted) single leg Romanian deadlifts or Nordic curls. Otherwise they’ll become undertrained and susceptible to injuries.

StarCraft 2 still looks amazing.

People were sharing all sorts of conspiracy theories about how Bethesda is trying to erase F1, 2 and NV from history before Howard did the interview, like here: https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/in-which-i-mostly-debunk-the-latest-fallout-controversy-that-claims-todd-howard-used-the-fallout-show-to-retcon-non-bethesda-fallout-games/#article-comments

It’s tiresome to see the wrong interpretation repeated, even after they set the story straight.

Personally, I feel they always intended the fall to be the nuking, but someone put the wrong date on the blackboard, and now they’re trying to get the story straight again :P It does allow for some interesting possibilities, though.

The timeline in the show only says “The fall of Shady Sands”. While that was unclear, Howard did explain it, and it’s ridiculous to keep sticking to the whole “they deleted Fallout: New Vegas from canon” theory.

Tod Howard said the nuke fell after F:NV: https://www.ign.com/articles/the-big-fallout-interview-todd-howard-and-jonathan-nolan-answer-our-burning-questions-about-season-1

At least the two of us :P I’m excited for the upcoming beta!

For me, it will start feeling “right” about 15 minutes after I start studying or working. You need a while to get into it, to get warmed up.

You can follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon.

Fuck not cropping out the reddit bar.

Could it be comparable to the rise and decline of Westerns?

Was it The Sandman?

Oh yeah, you’re right!

Looks like the laptop is the only computer, so the rest of the gear is connected to it. It’s probably floating to save desk space, as he doesn’t need the touchpad and keyboard.

One of the main reasons I like using Mastodon for work is the fact that it’s completely separate from the large social networks. It’s only used by people who are committed to creating a new, better place. I don’t think users of Threads (or Xitter, for that matter) would have anything to offer for me.

It allows for more precise content filtering. Say you hate Star Trek but you like the people on the Star Trek instance, you can now solve that in one click

Adding an option “Block all users from this instance” would be a good addition, though.

Pluralistic.net: Cory Doctorow writes really interesting posts about tech and privacy.

One of the other advantages of LW is that it’s run from the EU and thus has to comply with the GDPR. Given all the shit that Reddit pulled during the exodus, this may have been an additional reason for people to choose LW over one of the North American instances.

I use a Fiio M6 to run Spotify, by downloading playlists through my home wifi before going out. It’s not the cheapest option, but I’ve had it since before the pandemic and it still works like a charm.

The device comes with an app to play MP3s, so that should work easily as well.

There are a lot of Asian female fronted rock bands, like BabyMetal, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin and Asterism. EDIT: also Hanabie.
