One of my favourite things is the running gag on Clickhole about her hacky ‘revelations’.

The Saga Continues: JK Rowling Just Revealed That Voldemort Came Back To Life, Used A Spell To Lift Will Smith’s 10-Year Oscar Ban, And Then Died Again

The Saga Continues! J.K. Rowling Has Revealed That The Man SEAL Team Six Thought Was Osama Bin Laden Was Actually Professor McGonagall Using A Polyjuice Potion And The Real Osama Bin Laden Teaches Sex Ed At Hogwarts Now

Cook is going to transition to executive chairman, and he will “assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.”

His new role is literally Trump Gobbler

Not to worry, the next lot of cuts will definitely fix it

Feels like a progressive win that we didn’t call it “Bigtit”

£33.99 on the eShop! That actually feels… about right, to me? Which almost never happens with Nintendo stuff any more. 😬

His psycho fanbase will refuse to believe reports of his death anyway.

I’ve been working on 100%ing Pokémon Legends: Z-A (and the DLC). I put in a couple hundred hours and probably got to 95%+, and then felt my brain flick the “you are no longer interested in this” switch. 😬

Also if you have to hand someone off to another colleague, I find you can just use “we”, and it still feels polite. At least compared to calling them “the customer” (clumsy) or “they” (weird, when they’re right next to you). 😃

“So, we’re looking for [product], and we need it to be [thing]. Oh, and we have a budget of £25.”

Those conflicts didn’t have drone strikes though

It’s AI slop

Well, yeah. I expect the junk food brands sent them a snotty email and they caved. Again.

The report appears to have originated from PCWorld, but has gained mass attention on Reddit with over 12,000 upvotes and thousands of angry comments. The good news is the report is false. According to contacts that are familiar with the Windows roadmap, there is no plan to ship a Windows 12 this year. In fact, I understand that the Windows roadmap for 2026 is all about fixing Windows 11 and attempting to improve its reputation by addressing top feedback such as reducing AI bloat across the OS, bringing back the movable Taskbar, and more.

[…]

There’s lots of other claims the report makes that are also easy to debunk. The codename Hudson Valley is from 2023 and not tied to a Windows 12, the “radically redesigned” UI claims are just based on a leaked concept from 2022 that was never greenlit to ship, and a subscription-based version of Windows has been rumored to be around the corner since 2012.

There are different things I like about them… 🤔 I really like the way PieFed merges crossposts together, although I wish it could be smarter at “noticing” identical posts that weren’t actually crossposted.

But then, I really like “Scaled” sorting, and Lemmy’s seems way better to me. (I couldn’t begin to tell you why.) I also like having more choice of Android apps on Lemmy, but I’m sure that’ll change quickly enough.

So I guess it might depend on how development goes on both platforms?

It’s only going to get worse! 🥳

Because I already started using Mastodon.World years ago, then Lemmy.World, and now Piefed.World. 🤷‍♂️

Busuu for language learning. It’s like Duolingo, but the main difference is that it actually teaches you the grammar, instead of just making you memorise random sentences. It also has some audio and video of native speakers, at least on the Japanese course. And each module ends with a prompt where you freely write or speak your answer (e.g., “What do you like to eat?”) in your target language, and then it gets graded/corrected by native speakers in the community.

And for Japanese kanji specifically, WaniKani. Nothing else I’ve ever tried has helped with kanji, but their writing style and off-the-wall mnemonics honestly make it so much easier. And you get the first three levels for free, which is actually tons of content.

It’d be called Great British Mail, because we’re only allowed to do things that pander to Reformtwats now
