Never buy a PS4/5 or switch controller they are all overpriced garbage they intentionally make for ewaste landfills in 2-4 years.
I really like my gulikit king Kong 2 and they made a elite controller style one with the 3rd version so I’d recommend that. They’re hall effect joysticks which feel real nice and are easy to repair and customize.
Yeah idk. I spend a inordinate amount of time talking about tides and watching them, but generally only high and low are focused on because the midtide is when the water is changing the fastest. The water spends more time at high or low than it does I. the middle, so it’s not really noticable.
I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I’m never quite sure what to say when it’s in the middle.
but imagine you’ve just gotten use to living on a moss planet over the past 40 million years, and now all of a sudden you walk outside and all the moss is gone
Yep. They all pretty much just jack with the flag.
Especially if it is at someone else’s expense so they can get a rush off of subjugating defenseless civilians and leading off sadistically with the enslaved, risking nothing in their hidden-bunker cowardice.

I don’t think ActivityPub is hard to implement, actually. It’s fairly specific JSON with a weird structure, but that structure isn’t hard to implement.
It does come with an oversight, though; the protocol doesn’t define how to ensure activities propagate to every server. That’s why following a Lemmy community from Mastodon will spam your feed with boosts, and why Mastodon instances all have different amounts of comments and likes on them. Some other things are also underspecified (like how to propagate creates through boosts, are those two events of is boosting a create enough?). These can use some fleshing out.
One thing that’s definitely underspecced is the client-server API. It’s practically impossible to take the spec and write a client for a C2S server that’s also built around the spec, because crucial things like “authentication” simply aren’t specified. Very few servers bother to implement C2S and even fewer of those cover more than the bare basics.
At some point I tried setting up a sort-of-tumblr clone by combining Fedibox with a C2S client, but I found it impossible to set everything up properly, and no other backends seemed to provide more than a basic C2S implementation. There’s potential there, but it’s hard to do it without an opinionated take on the spec that I feel shouldn’t be necessary.
They do describe well how “I post something on your timeline” works, but details on “someone else boosted a like on my timeline and I want to inform your server” isn’t as clear.
Lemmy posting boosts of every single activity to every following server is one way to get every server synchronised, but it feels a little like abusing side effects rather than using the protocol as designed.
