I’m not familiar with Lunduke. Could you elaborate?

Lemmy is a free and open-source software for running self-hosted social news aggregation and discussion forums. These hosts, known as “instances”, communicate with each other using the ActivityPub protocol.

I see you settled on a design for the toaster. Love the mustache.

Oooohhhh that looks very nice. Although the battery is much smaller than the Glucosent.

LEDs and rechargeable batteries have changed everything. Mine lasts for many hours before it needs to be recharged. And it only takes a little bit to recharge it.

My Glucusent book light, I use it every night when I read before bed. It is the best book light I’ve ever had and I absolutely love it.

I wish Telegram would just enable default E2EE. Oh well, time to switch to Signal!

I believe they were bought by someone and eventually implemented some questionable practices. I don’t remember the exact details, maybe someone else does.

Here’s a link to the chatbot. It’s pretty good at explaining things and has a lot of patience for the hopeless drivel conspiracy theories contain. I like how it doesn’t just refute them with specific evidence, but tears apart the very logic of the conspiracy theories.

I was once driving on some back roads I was unfamiliar with. I turned a corner and didn’t realize there was a stop sign until too late and went right through the intersection.

Search Engine with PJ Vogt. They do deep dives into all kinds of things and it’s full of interesting information.

I think you’re giving companies too much credit. Freakonomics did a series called “Does Advertising Actually Work?” and the tl;dr was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That would be an interesting twist. Alt Tony Stark is Dr. Doom so the real Dr. Doom joins the Avengers to save the universe. Although Doom’s motivation would likely be to prove he’s the superior Doom. Seems like that would make a decent Secret Wars plotline.

I’m wondering if they’ll turn an alternative universe Tony Stark into Doom. Are there any comics where this happens?

As far as feelings: very excited. I was bummed when Robert Downey Jr. exited the MCU and it will be nice to have him back. I hope it’s more than a cameo.
