I'm just hoping for a new Riddick game. Escape from Butcher Bay was amazing.

Buy a cheap ice cream maker and make your own with lactose-free dairy! It's surprisingly easy.

If I tell you I'm your god and you should give me all your money or you won't go to heaven, you will rightly call me a liar, even though you can't really prove that I'm not.

You won't say "oh I guess there's no way to prove he's not god, so I'd better give him my money".

In science, the default stance on something existing is that it doesn't, unless there's solid proof, or at least a compelling scientific theory suggesting that it does.

Which did you use to prove there is? What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

I'd rather they didn't do this at all.

Please, let's not nornalize nickel-and-diming your customers.

We deploy to production with every single commit, but releases are behind feature flags.

When we're ready to release a feature, we just toggle a flag and we're done.

Physical media FTW. I wish it was easier to obtain movies and shows physically. I like to own my stuff.

When will it release on GOG?

Oh, Russia is winning this war? Is that why it didn't end in their estimated 3 days? Is that why Prigozhin marched on the Kremlin? Is that why they're asking North Korea for weapons now?

So much winning.

Why would you follow an account like that, being a public figure, if you disagree with its contents?

My point is that we need time and patience, not interfacing with Meta. Whether they use ActivityPub or something proprietary shouldn't matter to us and I'm not convinced matters at all in this context.
Meta already didn't wait - they have Facebook, Instagram etc. There's Twitter. We already exist in a space with big competitors, and somehow it works. Inviting them to our space sounds risky (risk of centralization, ads, bots, rage bait for engagement...).
If our thing is better, more wholesome, with less ads and bots, it's going to attract the people we want on our platform, regardless of whether or not we federate with Meta.
Plus, as was already said, fediverse success should not be measured by how many people use it. If enough do to produce good content and engage with, that's great on its own :) Small communities have benefits.
