I like Dark Souls. And Bloodborne. And Dark Souls III. But not Dark Souls II
Searched for "awsome bar locks up" in DuckDuckGo and can't click on the first two links here at work...
Adding the word "Firefox" helped though :)
sure we can complain about it but letsencrypt at least does good
a few businesses that will also profit from it make some donations and everyone gets a free and secure signature
LE made good technical choices and doesn't ask for a huge symbolic fee that will make a single asshole a millionnaire
and don't get me started on startcom it was fucking awful, paid revocations on free certs and extremely bad practices on many occasions
celebrate 4/20 by getting blazed, listening to the surprise new Sleep album, refusing to forget how disproportionately imprisoned black + brown people are for marijuana offenses, and continuing to advocate for them and for prison reform / abolition in general as marijuana becomes a big deal money making white people dominated legitimate industry, bro
Damn, Dark Souls on switch has been delayed. I was hoping to play it on a long train journey in June, going to have to get mario or something now :(
Morning Fediverse! Could it be that spring has finally sprung? Or am I going to have to keep the heating on for another week? Exciting times I know!
#nowplaying Nils Frahm - The Whole Universe Wants to Be Touched from All Melody
Saw Nils earlier in the year, really interesting show, heartily recommend it if he's ever touring near you.
Ed Felton tweeted a few days ago: βOften hear that the reason todayβs Internet is not more secure is that the early designers failed to imagine that security could ever matter. That is a myth.β
This is indeed a myth. Much of the current morass can be laid at the feet of the United States government, due to its export regulations around cryptography.

The original version of Lux Aeterna is so much better than the Lord of the Rings version. Nicely understated and beautifully done.
Federated timeline seems a bit slow today? Are we having some sort of netsplit type scenario?
#NowPlaying Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet - Summer Overture from Requiem for a Dream OST
Not listened to this for years, but heard some of this album in the background of a video and was inspired to fire it up.
#Debian, don't do this Show more

He concluced his article (titled "Mastodon will never be the next Twitter") with this:
"I suspect thousands of other Tooters (blech!) will soon do the same and Mastodon will lay down beside all other other fossilized social media platforms and fade from existence."
Since then, Mastodon grew to 1,300,000 users and 2,000 servers. This is why people bring him up today.
Wow, people seem to have got really upset that the Dark Souls remaster is exactly what they said it would be, rather than some fantasy version they made up in their heads...
TIL that setting GRUB_DEFAULT in Ubuntu without setting GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y does nothing, it'll use the latest kernel instead of the one you specify. Nice :S
Today is the only day that you can boost this.
What's happening with witches.town? I seem to have missed some info?
Cross-posting is marketing for the source platform, so you shouldn't be surprised I don't think Twitter to Mastodon cross-posting is beneficial to Mastodon.
Mastodon is a social network, and talking to each other is a big part of it. If someone has setup a cross-poster and left and never checks their notifications, it's pointless for us who are here.
