A cabal of notorious and/or legendary #european#legislative#transparency orgs and people is looking for someone who can build an #online#platform. Are you made of the material that is worthy of joining this Oceans eleven of democratic badassery? Do you know someone? Pls boost #fedihire#development
@verge Spreading the spirit of #war and #profiteering by any means on any #platform available. At least he didn't found a failing business to spread his message.
Yes, the company went public. No, it is not a financial success—or even a lifeboat.
Debuting on the charts w/a “DJT” ticker, #TrumpMedia saw a 55% surge in valuation right after markets opened.
Huge influx of cash, right? w/Trump holding ~79M shares, equating to 58% of available stock, the #SPAC debut balloons his #NetWorth by nearly $5B; there were ~136M shares outstanding post-merger.
Considering TruthSocial remains a free platform that’s financially dependent on ads…to buy, uh, collectible gold coins of #Trump’s mugshot & pillows manufactured by a broke #ElectionDenier, there’s no real financial lifeline on the horizon. +there are no incentives for more lucrative advertisers, seeing as the 2-yr-old #platform only commands ~5M active users, lost 39% of its active user base over the past yr, & has persistently seen reduced traffic & download numbers from its peak….
…that’ll only work if #Trump has confidence in his #platform & doesn’t dump a bunch of #stock, or even give a hint he’s thinking of doing such a thing (like by requesting a waiver), which would scare smaller-scale #investors, piss off #JeffYass, & send #TrumpMedia’s valuation plummeting.
…Does Trump have that kind of confidence in his platform?…he still needs money, fast, & not just because he might not have enough liquid cash to even cover the reduced $175M #bond he needs to pay off by April 4.

I asked a guy who was stacking bread on shelves at the supermarket where something was and he said "I dunno, I'm just the bread guy" and I cannot stop thinking about him and envying the simplicity of his existence. I wish I could just be the bread guy.
Interested in #contentmoderation? The EU is inviting researchers to develop tools to make use of #platform#transparency data under the #DSA: https://hackathon.peren.fr/ (can't link directly to the English version for some reason, switch to English in top right corner in desktop view)
#MaziPilip, #GOPcandidate running to replace the seat vacated by #GeorgeSantos has not provided much of a #platform & refuses to answer reporters questions on her stance on #abortion (not that MsM even asks, others do). Pilip continues to not speak publicly and has turned down all requests for #debates (which are traditional) against Democrat #TomSuozzi.

"We 1st discuss the current state of #platform#governance scholarship, followed by background on #Mastodon. We then explain #covenantalfederalist political theory, followed by an examination of Mastodon’s #covenant. Such an approach will clarify an alarming case in Mastodon’s history: the intrusion of the alt-right platform Gab into the Mastodon. We conclude with critiques of Mastodon’s covenantal approach and calls for further research." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2022.2147400
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
Etherborn is a third-person 3D platform puzzle game that seems to have been designed on the principle "What if we remade Monument Valley without understanding what made it tick, and then adding a vaguely philosophical voiceover?"
Unfortunately, it means that Etherborn feels like a knock-off version of Monument Valley, just somewhat annoying.
The same kind of 3D puzzles, now with the added ability to fall off the structure, and get placed right back where you were.
A disembodied voice speaking over the top of the initial level, then at the end of the next level doesn't really add anything to the game, other than making you wait until it finishes speaking. What it has to say seems to have little to do with the actual game.
While you can navigate from any surface to any other surface that is joined by a curve, sometimes you'll jump and suddenly find yourself plummeting to your doom.
The follow camera wanders around all over the place, with some minor adjustments possible with the right thumbstick, often leading to falling to my death because of the angle of view.
More than once I found the avatar obscured from view by parts of the level itself, which just added to the frustration.
I played through the intro level, then the first level, and after that I saved and quit, because it just felt like a chore.
