GameRant has added an AI box into articles 🤢

Seems to have replaced the bullet point summary they used to do.

Nothing says trust in any of your writers like telling people to use AI to summarise it, or "Give me a lighthearted recap" and "Explain it like I’m 5" options on it.

Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’be built you can now just go to railfinder.eu and have a go!

Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏

i am so sick of "minimalist" TV remotes that don't have room for a subtitle toggle or pause/rewind/forward, but they manage to fit dedicated Froobi and HydoPlus buttons.

"ohh, sorry, we couldn't fit the closed captions button. but you do get quick and easy access to Samsung TV Plus!" FUCK you

in reply to Lynnesbian

Looking back nostalgically at those universal remotes from the 2000s that had like a hundred buttons for every possible command a VCR/DVD/DVR/cable box could possibly be compatible with.
And those wonderful, mysterious A, B, C, and D buttons, which do… something! Maybe!

@dzamie and the red, yellow, green and blue that were on every tv remote (though i never saw anyone use them)

@blaurascon it's a result of what i call The Designer's Folly

"gee! nobody has ever designed [FEATURE] to work like [COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MECHANISM] before! i wonder why?"

it turns out there's often a reason. "gee, how come nobody ever puts the gear selector on a column right next to the indicator stalk?" yeah i wonder why kia? i wonder why?

@Jodi Great song! I don't have that Pete Seeger song. So, I may have to sniff around Ebay for an affordable CD.

At first I thought you were referring to this song that starts with the same line!

Iran launched a missile strike against the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, one of several U.S. military bases across the Middle East, in retaliation for the U.S. bombing its nuclear sites. Qatari authorities say there were no casualties and that air defenses "successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles." Here's @AssociatedPress's liveblog.

I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going.

No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

Analysis: “A New Line Crossed”: The U.S. Provokes Iran

"It's not clear if Trump himself understands this, but everyone around him knows they did not verifiably destroy the nuclear program last night."

Re "actually impacting Iran’s capabilities, the strike was largely symbolic."

But "it's the first time we're bombing a state [with] the capacity to inflict serious harm on Americans in the region.”

Interview: "Israel Seeks Chaos in Middle East"

Although UN inspectors & U.S. intelligence assessments say Iran was not building nuclear weapons, Netanyahu wanted to drag Trump into its war on Iran.

"The danger now is that, having brought the U.S. into this, Israel will seek to go further up the escalatory ladder. It wants the chaos.”

This is really absurd the EU leaders really don't understand the consequences of their actions. It's not only affecting Iran, undermining international law, but also affecting their allies which needs their support more than any time now.

'There Is No Intel': #Trump's Attacks on #Iran Were Based on Vibes, Sources Say

Following Trump's attacks on Iran, an admin official tells Rolling Stone, "The intelligence assessments have not really changed"

After Trump's decision to strike 3 Iranian #nuclear facilities on Sat, admin ofcls are barely bothering to pretend the unprecedented—& potentially calamitous—attacks were motivated by new #intelligence suggesting Iran was on the brink of having nuclear weapons.

Dear @Gargron — Can we take another, fresh look at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i… ? Hashtags should ultimately support full UTF8, IMHO, but adding at the very least the dash would be very helpful. It's not just band or artist names. CVEs are a better example. It would be really helpful when I can use #CVE-2025-6019 instead of #CVE20256019 as I am forced to do now. I guess hashtags are not in scope of the ActivityPub protocol, @evan ?
in reply to Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷

Sure Using #under_score is an alternative, but a poor one. Exactly what is the reason to not also support the dash? Tradition, legacy or documented breakage? @Gargron @evan
in reply to Jan Wildeboer 😷

People use dashes as punctuation--for example, double dash instead of the em dash. If I said "I love #Mastodon--though I am biased", I would be very surprised the hashtag got turned into "Mastodon though". Some people don't bother to double dash and use a single dash for the same purpose.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@larsmb
Really? I do not remember ever to have seen that.

Would an option to enable more complex hashtags be an option?

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@larsmb
But dashes need to be surrounded by space characters, otherwise this is a hyphen and correctly links the two adjacent words together to form a compound.
in reply to Norbert Rittel

@norbert @larsmb An em dash is not supposed to be surrounded by space characters however. Also, I can say something is #Kafka-esque and have it show up in #Kafka where people are more likely to look.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I am more shocked that people would use a dash without surrounding whitespace, but I guess I am just an old typographic nerd ;) @larsmb @evan
in reply to Jan Wildeboer 😷

@larsmb Othrography online varies a lot. In French it's common to put two spaces after a period. Some people in English forget to put a single space after one. What I'm trying to avoid is a hashtag unexpectedly consuming more text than it should, and in my view, the dash is commonly used as a word boundary.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I used to believe that real em-dashes, eg in LaTeX and HTML, and en-dashes, and hyphens ... should rarely have space around them, but now I liberally space at least em-dashes to reduce ambiguity...

KDE Plasma will continue having an X11 session, as Kubuntu switches to Wayland by default gamingonlinux.com/2025/06/kde-…

#KDE #Plasma #Linux #OpenSource #Kubuntu

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Yep, I have telemetry turned on on my plasma, as it is clear what data is being sent, it is anonymous, I can check what data has been already sent at any time and I know KDE are a good guys (at least for now)
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

What is also nice is how well KDE Plasma 6.4 runs XWayland.

This is really important, as it'll take a long time before most X11 apps are updated to a Wayland session.

Some may never get there.
