I never got to play Fable 2 or 3. Is it literally impossible to play them now?

@Gargron I think Fable 2 was always console-only and Fable 3 was, well.
After running into the "jump from the wrong ledge, get permanently stuck in a tree, auto-save means the only way out is paving your save" glitch I kinda feel like nobody's missing much.

But I _am_ heavily biased here.

@Gargron Fable 3 steam key is still available on amazon ... 2 was never on PC, sadly

That new jackbox game where you draw champions is pretty fun

I haven't personally watched #TheSocialDilemma because I feel like it would be listening to things I've already said but repeated by someone else louder

@Gargron It doesn't present anything new to the discussion...at all.

But it is semi interesting the way they dramatise its effects on a family, and they interview some industry heavy hitters. It is good to hear things in their own words.

Worth watching but nothing too special.

@Gargron welcome to the world of women in the workplace.

I'm still using a PC I bought in 2015, I only ever replaced the graphics card and installed extra RAM and I'm not really running into any performance bottlenecks. My biggest issue is the small SSD that Windows came pre-installed on; I'm constantly living on 1GB free disk space. Think it would be fun to build a PC from parts one day though.

@Gargron I'm using this computer I built from parts in 2016. i5 rather than i7, but still no performance issue. 16GB RAM, a small 128GB SSD for / (currently only 13.7GB used), and a 1TB spinning disk for /home, as well as swap and /var (to limit SSD wear from swap and logging). Just the mainboard integrated intel graphics card.

@Gargron SSDs, especially SATA models, have dropped in price a ton in the past 5 years. It sounds like it would be worthwhile to upgrade 👍️

How do you wish the profile directory was categorized?

@Gargron Wie soll das Profilverzeichnis kategorisiert werden? Ich habe als Neuling nicht den Zweck von Hashtags im Profil verstanden und darum darauf verzichtet. Eine bessere, ausführlichere Erklärung von Sinn und Zweck unter Einstellungen -> Profil -> Empfohlene Hashtags könnte helfen die Nutzer zur Eintragung zu bewegen. Dazu gehört ein Hinweis, wie man in der Oberfläche nach den dort eingetragenen # sucht und nach der Eintragung, bei einem Test, auch sich selbst sogleich findet.

I absolutely do not care about 5G support in the iPhone, it's probably gonna be a decade before Germany has any coverage #AppleEvent

Eugen Rochko

Smaller size is an improvement, 11 doesn't fit in one hand very comfortably #AppleEvent

JamesGecko

@Gargron Don’t worry, the US doesn’t have coverage either!

@Gargron You have inspired me to pull out my dumbbells and do some exercise! Bravo!

If there was a small testimonials section on joinmastodon.org, do you know of any posts or statements I could use there? That was another recommendation by the UX designer that we didn't have time to flesh out.

Something like
Welcome to mastodon ! Mastodon is what you bring to it by yourself at your instance level and through instance interconnections
I've done it for free for you to be free
Keep in mind you are here to be yourself and meet other people worldwide

Jon Leibowitz

@Gargron Can I recommend testimonials from instance owners/admins?

Next version of Mastodon will allow managing IP blocks from the admin interface #mastodev

A screenshot of Mastodon's admin interface, in which the form "Create new IP rule" reads:

IP (Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address. You can block entire ranges using the CIDR syntax. Be careful not to lock yourself out!)

- 192.0.2.0/24

Expire after (IP addresses are a finite resource, they are sometimes shared and often change hands. For this reason, indefinite IP blocks are not recommended)

- 1 year

Rule (Choose what will happen with requests from this IP)

- Limit sign-ips (New sign-ups will require your approval)

- Block access (Block access to all resources)

Comment (Optional. Remember why you added this rule)

Create rule

@Gargron Yeah,finally a new great way to completely block the Google network after I dropped Cloudflare 😍

Twitter: Inserts promoted tweets into people's profiles. Me: Guess who doesn't do ads? Mastodon. Some Twitter user who apparently operates a Mastodon server: I have to delete spam accounts from my server so your statement isn't true

Thanks for responding to my tweet, very helpful

@Gargron "Ah yes I am a mastodon admin and use the fedivese all day, but I also have a twitter account and shit talk Gargron on Twitter because that makes a lot of sense"

Gracious Anthracite

@Gargron

this is what "accounts are closed, contact us elsewhere for an invite code if we decide we'd like you on our instance" is for :)

randulo

@Gargron I've never seen inserts in profiles, now I have to go look 😮

Never thought I'd be this excited about a new set of socks
