How do people like this always seem to find new lows to sink to?

This was my thought as well. It makes sense for companies to setup their own Fediverse instances. It provides them a way to reach their customers without having to rely on another company acting as the middleman.
Mastodon is really solid and with the Dutch government and the BBC running their own instance I imagine others will follow suite.
Still not sure about a Reddit replacement though since both Lemmy and kBin have their problems.
Spin up a PeerTube instance and companies have an effective means of setting up discussion forums for their products, a news feed for broadcasting updates, and a video hosting solution that can all be tied together through the Fediverse.

I already drink it everyday anyway so things wouldn't change much for me.
I've seen people play and beat these games using dance pads and bongo drums and now saxophones and I just don't understand how someone can do this. Is this some kind of divine blessing they have? Did they wake up one day and decide to learn how to beat games using weird controllers? What's going through their minds that led them to seek out these abilities some consider to be unnatural? These are the kinds of things that keep me up at night.
This episode is made even worse in the DS9 episode, A Man Alone when Odo says that killing one's own clone is still murder. Riker should be in prison for a double homicide.
That's just what They want you to believe. The government is just trying to cover up the truth about the eldritch gods waking up now that their frozen prison is melting. /s
Edit: I put the /s there just in case. You never know what people will take seriously.
It's probably going to be some kind of Reddit cryptocurrency.
This seems like an excellent use of federated services. Now their citizens have a single source for government updates that they know is valid and the government can ensure that everything follows whatever data laws they pass.
AEGIS-CWA is unique in that it represents worker interests across a broad range of disciplines. All of the video game unions in the US so far have been contained within QA, a department with a reputation across the industry of underpaying and overworking its workers.
That's really great.
I generally don't preorder games because I like to be able to watch streamers play a bit of the game to get an idea of what the game is like and if it's any good. However, I will preorder Nintendo games since their first party games are almost always good. I think the only first party Nintendo game I've ever played that I was disappointed with in the past 20 years was Skyward Sword.
With the strike going on this long, I wonder if there's even going to be a Fall season of TV this year.
I've always felt that programmers need one day out of the week where they explain what their code does to someone dedicated to writing documentation. That way the code is being documented while you still understand what it does and the documentation is constantly being updated.
