Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?
  • Exactly I had difficulty finding content and any "guide" or anything I seemed to find was too confusing or not practical for me. I don't use Twitter, blue sky, or mastadon regularly but when I checked them all out, blue sky was the best in all round; "Ease of use" and "easy to find content"

  • Why do People Choose BlueSky Over Mastodon?
  • I was going to reply with this. This is exactly one of the problems. I didn't have a Twitter, but I wanted to join mastadon. I had to find a way to access it, and an instance to sign up on. In theory it's good but for a new user it can be difficult to sign up.

    Then ofc the difficulty of finding content, there is content, but part of the no frills meant most of the stuff I saw wasn't in English (I am a mon-english speaker) and it was tricky to figure out how to juat get English content let alone content I was interested in.

  • A California police department spent $153,000 on a Cybertruck for school anti-drug events
  • It's crazy how expensive it is too. At my HS, as an ASB rep got contacted by DARE reps once and they where oh its only $15k per classroom. It all made sense when I started to learn its always been a money grubbing grift. It never had a good reason to exist other then excuse to charge alot for busybwork.

  • Google must crack open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge
  • Reading this, it's my understanding this ruling says Google must host rival "app store" apps in Google play store and must provide them with a copy of all apps on the playstore for them to distribute. Developers do not opt in to the new app-stores, but they can opt out.

  • Halo Studios: New Name, New Engine, New Games, New Philosophy
  • New game engine, putting aside concerns of Epic exclusives and such, seems fine,

    but changing the name, it's not to signify the game studio will focus on halo, 343's name is based on the franchise; "New name, new philosophy", it's trying to distract from the past trying to say "under new management", but in recent times companies have used this as smoke and mirrors, hiding that nothing has changed.

    I'll believe new philosophy when a game comes out that isn't trying to be destiny or cod and doesn't have 50% of the game missing at launch because of mangled management that was fine shipping an incomplete game and never finishing it.

  • Mom said it's my turn to post the meme
  • My grandfather affected by the war in the gulf, my mother a gulf war veteran, my dad fought in the middle east and my sister was deployed to Afghanstan.

    Times change, but war in the middle east and Americans meddling, aar never changes.

  • The legality of owning a flamethrower by state
  • Not all flamethrowers throw napalm, as seen flamethrowers predate napalm. A flamethrower made to abate weeds is not nearly as powerful as a military grade one, but it still throws flame. So even if you can't buy a fancy flamethrower that shoots out 20+ feet, you can have some fun with a little propane tank based weed abatement "flamethrower". I wasn't trying to kick up an argument on the technicalities of what is a flamethrower, but your arguments are the weakest thing to support your idea.

  • The legality of owning a flamethrower by state
  • The first flamethrowers date to the 7th century. No they aren't modern military flamethrowers but as with the description "commercial flamethrowers are generally blowtorches using gaseous fuels such as propane". No they don't have the same range or lethality but saying they cant both be flamethrowers is saying a BB doesn't shoot projectiles because it's not as the same projectiles and range of a military assault rifle.

  • The legality of owning a flamethrower by state
  • See I can't see colour, but fun fact, flame based weed abatement systems can be easily purchased in many parts of California, and they are basically just a flame thrower attachment for propane tanks.

  • Commander Banned and Restricted Announcement – September 23, 2024
  • That's actually a very fair argument. Except for some mono or 2 colour decks, it runs great in all my decks. It is such a staple that removing it is bad.

    Maybe there shouldn't be cards you "have" to have. Even boots or signets are okay to omit in alot of decks.
