War Thunder from Gaijin Entertainment announced back in December 2024 that they would be changing the anti-cheat, which continues to be rolled out in stages.
I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like #Mastodon for Android downloads are up 455% recently. This tracks with how many new people I've been seeing on the explore page recently. Don't know if it's a coincidence but I think your help in fixing our app's rating might have had a hand in this...
Eugen please add mastoturk.org to the list of Servers at joinmastodon.org -- joinmastodon.org/servers -- it is the largest in Turkey. Thank you! Your email hello@joinmastodon.org doesn't respond.
I've just left the Metaverse and I think many more will follow as they realise by using Meta/X they are contributing to the rapid rise in blatant Fascism. ๐๐ป
Publicity helps. The second half of this just released podcast episode is a discussion of the #Fediverse as an alternative to TikTok. (start at 14:21).
Description Occasionally, I see duplicate groups of posts appearing in the search feed. Example video: Mastodon_Android_Duplicate_Posts_Search_Compressed3.mp4 The post order is: Pumpkins Computer g...

Not sure if the following has been part of information and discussion around here. Apparently there are several Nostr relays that bridge, with or without asking for permission, profiles to somewhere else.
Actually at least over here I also could create a positive list, restricting access to only predefined instances.
That said, the "asking for permission" is if some instance simply mirrors profiles "without asking for permission" each profile or instance it pretends to mirror or duplicate. This in any case is basically about good manners, not technical possibilities.
I didn't dig into some apparent nostr discussion itself but saw the possibility to register a profile for mirroring it. Well, actually the only way this could happen in a correct respectful manner is that a profile follows an account that than interpretates that following as a request or permission to be mirrored.
Not interested in supporting bluesky or disrespectful folks in any way so I guess this list comes kinda preemptive handy. ๐
"Epp gave a sermon called "Shadows and Essence". He used Hebrews 8:5, a text on the shadow of heavenly things. A document, I think, is a shadow of earthly things."
A rich history of wanderers, exiles and intruders. A haunting personal journey through Central Asia. An intimate reflection on mixed identity shaped by cultural crossings.

Airships: Lost Flotilla is a steampunk themed auto-shooter just released from David Stark, an offshoot of their other game Airships: Conquer the Skies and it's simply great.
complicado estar com la misma intensidad en los dos mundos. Com en ido de que este es el lugar y de que no podemos irnos de las redes sociales hegemomicas sin traer a la mayorรญa de la gente. Abrazos!
It's a good article, though it probably resonates already to the people who would read my feed. The more useful part of it is that it's a good article to send the "moderate" people in your life, who are letting literal nazis take over this country quietly.
The Nexus team continue building up their newer cross-platform open source Nexus Mods App that will eventually replace Vortex. Version 0.7.2 was released recently further expanding what you can do with it.

Necesse is an impressive open-world base-building survival and adventure game from developer Fair Games ApS, with a big update out now and you can try it free this weekend. There's also a 35% discount if you want to keep it.
Sad news for NVIDIA GPU owners on Linux who want to play FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, which just released on Steam yesterday as it appears broken. Works on Linux for those with an AMD GPU like the Steam Deck though.
meanwhile, I can't even launch the game with Intel Arc. *sign* (I know Arc GPUs on Linux are not yet up-to-par with Windows drivers, but still annoying, there needs to be another player in the GPU game imo)
Recent updates to THE FINALS ended up breaking it on Linux / Steam Deck, but Valve have pushed out a new update to Proton Hotfix to get it working again.

This week, as I start focusing on my tenure file, I have been asking what the point is of being a professor in the tenure system. I reflected on this Sunday on a ride out to a community pancake breakfast.
Whatโs so important that the people of a democracy would offer someone the potential of long term job security and intellectual freedom (however precarious), even at times of hardship and deprivation? And what kind of promise could ever be equal to that extraordinary trust? #OutdoorMoments
One part of the job of a professor is to be a fearless steward of human knowledge and wisdom into the future- to hold in trust what humanity has learned, to preserve and advance it (even when unpopular) so the next generation can receive from us the relay of the ages into whatever futures they will face.
Because that story of collective understanding has very real power, it is always under threat, from the emperors who burned my Christian forebears and the priests who burned the Mayan archives of my ancestors to the politicians who threaten scientists today.
And yet the quest for truth persists, thanks to both visible and un-acknowledged courage of a thousand thousand thousand people over the ages, including my own many mentors.
Will I get tenure? Thatโs only partly up to me. But whatever the outcome of this process, I have irrevocably joined hands with the cloud of witnesses in the human search for truth. And I plan to be there to advance and protect this endeavor whatever may come. โค
