Comment on The next chapter for Bungie in ~games
ogre Link ParentI’ve never experienced it, so it’s not really a problem for me. I get that it sucks, but I’d rather be able to play the game with risk of cheaters than not play at all.I’ve never experienced it, so it’s not really a problem for me.

Too many eggheads mismanaging the company, requiring prospective customers like me to jump through Windows-shaped hoops.

ogre LinkI’m glad Bungie is unvaulting expansions and refocusing effort on the obvious money printing machine, but they really should rethink their decision to block linux users from playing either Destiny...I’m glad Bungie is unvaulting expansions and refocusing effort on the obvious money printing machine, but they really should rethink their decision to block linux users from playing either Destiny or Marathon. They need all the playerbase they can get.

They’ve got no shame opening up twitter to shit all over a movie a lot of people worked hard to make. Obviously it’s their job, but do they have to be harsh? Loudly calling a movie dogshit is just rude.
I don’t have anything to add other than my pearl clutching lol

The biggest pain point is that I switched to nixOS in 2025, which was great at first. After running it for a while I feel like I don’t fully understand my machine. I thought I could force myself to understand nix better by immersing myself in it, and I was wrong. I want to switch to something more minimal that I can wrap my head around but I don’t want to give up the insane number of packages available. My wife’s biggest pain points are not knowing the names of the apps she wants to install, and me nagging her to update her system once a month.

Comment on Firefox for iOS now has a native adblocker in ~tech
ogre Link ParentI just installed Firefox out of curiosity and I’m surprised by how nice the UX feels compared to Orion. If the ad blocker is comparable, I’m absolutely going to switch to Firefox.I just installed Firefox out of curiosity and I’m surprised by how nice the UX feels compared to Orion.

Comment on Is there any interest in building a Tildes successor? in ~tildes
ogre (edited )Link ParentBut what if I liked those people :( Have you seen Staross’ comment sharing their site? It has a nearly identical moderation strategy. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!When a cohort gets too large it gets graph partitioned into two.
But what if I liked those people :(
This would probably look like having a random jury from a cohort approve/disapprove flagged posts from a cohort member

ogre Link ParentOnce again I think this is an interesting moderation model. It’s like a formalized take on how a small group of people moderates themselves. I admire the originality.Once again I think this is an interesting moderation model. It’s like a formalized take on how a small group of people moderates themselves. I admire the originality.

ogre Link ParentI agree the pyramid of trust moderation sounds interesting. But there’d need to be a larger sized community, I don’t think it would work at a small scale. Personally I prefer smaller communities...I agree the pyramid of trust moderation sounds interesting. But there’d need to be a larger sized community, I don’t think it would work at a small scale. Personally I prefer smaller communities where most people know or at least recognize each other. A pyramid of moderation feels at odds with that.

However, if anyone has new ideas and wants to start something different, inspired by tildes and other communities, I’m interested in hearing you out. There are tons of different communities on the web, each with their own successes and failures, and you can draw on that history to make something new. Trying to recapture the same lightning in a bottle just isn’t going to work.
I’m hoping to hear ideas about more radically different communities, departures from feeds & posts, focusing on interaction between community members rather than how content is distributed and moderated. Pubnixes/tildeverse sites like tilde.town are a good example of what I would consider radically different from what tildes is doing. A space where users’ participation is via presence rather than content curation. Also there’s no such thing as upvotes:)

ogre Link ParentIf you have invite codes in your profile they will workIf you have invite codes in your profile they will work
Yes and no? I don’t think I deserve special treatment, or that I have some unique trait that makes me better than others. I feel special because I have more people that love and support me than I can count.
And out of me and my wife, I’m our dog’s favorite.
