@canonicalbrud But you're just n=1, you're not the whole statistics. It simply means you're lucky and/or you've got a better immune system than your neighbour.

@canonicalbrud Funny. The other day I've read that usually the first shot had the most side effects. The second shot much less.. and the boosters barely any.

@freemo Tolkien, not Tolkein.

Just finished playing Carto. If you're wondering what to buy this Winter Sale, I can really recommend this one.

It's a fun adventure puzzle game which is fairly unique and creative. You get to manipulate the area layout with the map pieces you collect on the way. Darn, a river in the way? *Shuffle shuffle* Well, no more!

You also get to meet various interesting characters who help you find your way back to granny. I can say I thoroughly enjoyed every moment playing this cute game.

@Angle An instance which has a fairly high character limit?

@thomasfuchs Oh, I know this game! It's in my job's server room!

@lydiaconwell Search an instance that's not vanilla mastodon, or ask your admin about possibilities to enhancing theirs?

@lydiaconwell I don't like vanilla Mastodon really much either. That's why I'm on an instance that's gone beyond the basic features.

For example, I can follow people I do NOT follow. That is to say, I don't follow them the normal way, but more like RSS-feed style subscribe. I can't see their private posts, but I can see all their public posts and put those people in a list of my choosing. That way you don't have to actively follow bots either, just 'subscribe' to them.

My list has the 'Home' in there by default, so I can uncheck people from there and check them in another list. (If I uncheck them first, I actually unfollowed them by accident heh). That way I can dump them in a list and not get spammed by them in my home timeline.

I guess vanilla Mastodon doesn't seem to have those features.

Fucking Zivver. My job has that as plugin in Outlook to 'secure' email. But all it does is _preventing_ my email to be sent. Secure == Not sending. Yeah, that's an easy claim to make... :P

@lydiaconwell
Dunno, but you can make bookmarks/favorites/shortcuts to certain lists if that helps?

@vital876@mastodon.social

@vital876@mastodon.social

Yes, basically. You can directly add people you follow in lists (and remove them from your hometimeline. This is possible here, and is probably a vanilla mastodon feature too, but don't pin me on it), or via the settings/Follows and Subscriptions you can add more ways to autofollow things (keywords, hashtags) and decide where they get casted to (a list, your home timeline, etc).

@lydiaconwell

@stux Amusing. Not that totally informative imo, though.

Heh, cool. The Witcher had some sign language in it.

@fribbledom It's actually quite sad...

@lydiaconwell Isn't that what lists are for? My instance also allows for 'subscribing' to people without actually following them (and then you can put them in a list as well).

@verl With this wording you are the one sounding paranoid to be honest... But this conversation's probably going nowhere.

@bonifartius

@oximurah That is waaaaaay too relatable!

I love it that Ryo's car in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection (yes the game's name is this long) is basically an Outrun arcade, and your character sits in there to play... Outrun... while you use that whole arcade setup as a car in the race. :D

That car's stats is pretty well suited for me too, drifting is fun!

I'm really liking this new joypad, it's cheap and it works sweet! And turns out it has force feedback too! Just found out that the first race game I played simply didn't have FFB support, heh!

I'm having cautious hope myself that Omicron will indeed be more mild yet more infectious. But too much is still unknown about it. Guess that's why my government has a knee-jerk reaction now of a lockdown until we know more about it and to buy time so everybody who wants to can get boostered.

@verl

@bonifartius Those jokes are always considered gallows humor, not just 'now'. Even I make very dark jokes sometimes and won't act upon it. It's just a way of venting harmlessly. Though best not done in public like those dumb jokesters have done, but that's obviously why they have piped down so you could barely hear them.

> 'Just look on twitter.'
If you want a bigger cesspool on the internet, indeed, look on twitter. Stop making yourself crazy.

Social media IS the worst of society. You can't take it seriously. Something about feeling invulnerable because you're anonymous.

And you get scared and uncomfortable after reading all that bullshit. And you're forwarding it right here. My suggestion? Take a break from the internet if it affects you that much.
