@developing_agent @knobee @mattblaze Have the extremes link to a little less extreme, and then they to the more moderate, and hopefully you can pull people more centerward, if you have the extremes smashing into each other, they'll take the most extreme stuff on the other side as proof to reinforce their extreme views.
@developing_agent @knobee @mattblaze Sometimes I think that's for the best, getting everyone together to share ideas was an interesting idea, but it seemed to have lead mostly to conflict and animosity rather than understanding. Having a more careful linking of the more moderate elements rather than allowing the extremes to run rampant on each other may help in that front.
@union @PonyPanda @moth @NEETzsche (Kherson north of the river was far more important when the goal was to march to Odessa and Transnistra, but since that's now a pipe dream they probably need to preserve their forces.)
@union @PonyPanda @moth @NEETzsche Yeah, the right/south shore is far more important to Russia's overall strategy. If they lose that then Crimea goes back to being very difficult to support. If they can't re-establish supply lines over the strait bridge in bulk, and they lose the water, they might have a hard time holding onto Crimea, and may have to retreat back to just Donbas region.
re: Amazon, Twitter, Facebook layoffs
@requiem I can see some reason for it, but at the same time there's things about it that don't make sense. One is that there's still a massive supply crunch from China, and Amazon mostly sells things from there, so perhaps they're expecting shortages and not as much need for shipping. On the other hand, we're heading into a couple of decades of demographic driven labor shortages, so they should probably hold onto people they have.
@stuff That's not a bad way to explain it. It really is a lot of over the top nonsense, summoning giant legs to squash enemies, etc. Though it tends to be mostly demons and angels as the enemies you're fighting.
@requiem Could also be something that happens when gathering data from an instance that is way overloaded and not responding correctly.

@tubetime I love the Cat! I’m glad I got to use the one at @mediaarchaeologylab. It’s definitely a different paradigm of computing that takes some getting used to
calling the fediverse the "mastodon network" is the same energy as your parents calling every video game console a nintendo
@rysiek https://example.com/users/username/feed.atom << An example pattern that matches my server, but looking at the view source is the most reliable way.
@rysiek On Pleroma, just go to the user page on their server, then you can view source to find the atom feed. Should work in all the same rss readers.
#feditip: go to https://{your mastodon server}/users/{any username}.rss to get an RSS feed for your RSS reader.
Level 2: go about your day without internet, then in the evening settle down at your Computer Desk with a nice cup of tea to RSS-digest the day's shitposts.
Level 3: Aggregates your RSS feeds into epub format. Load the output onto your 2000's e-ink e-reader via USB cable. Sit in an overstuffed armchair with a nearby lamp, say aloud "Ah, yes, today's internet" and sip your port.

In addition to the Spacer turned Adventurer manga, I'm thinking about picking up this light novel series. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CGCMXX7 It seems to be a similar sort of thing building up military technology in an Isekai VR world.
@ademalsasa Mostly in that space, things like Angband, Nethack, Larn, etc. They're old enough though that they don't have modern free software licenses.
