Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.
I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Nintendo Is Telling Game Publishers Switch 2 Will Be Delayed5·1 year agoI’m not really surprised. Nintendo tends to run on its own schedule. They also might be hoping the yen strengthens so it won’t cost them as much to produce new consoles. Knowing Nintendo, they’ll want to have enough in stock to not have supply problems like Sony did with the PS5.

stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever”19·1 year agoIIRC, though, that wasn’t Sony’s decision - WB yanked the licenses because they wanted those shows to only be on their streaming platform.
So it’s just irony that Sony is doing the same thing now.

Yosemite has said they have a hard time coming up with bear-proof trash cans just because “there is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists,” and those dumbest tourists who can’t figure out a trash can vote.

stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•A rant about an experience I had with Google maps today.2·1 year agoI’ve stopped using Google Maps for walking directions and use Apple Maps instead. Whenever I use Google Maps, it gave me the most winding, dark backstreet walking route possible, but the same way on Apple Maps was really straightforward.
I really feel like Google is overall degrading.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism18·1 year agoI’ve posted things on sexism in STEM before, so I can say: no, it is not. I almost didn’t post this precisely because of how bad the comments were to those posts. Hope foolishly sprung eternal.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value1·2 years agoFacebook is probably as close as we’ll get to a western “everything app.” They kind of missed the window, though, which is another thing Elon doesn’t seem to realize - the big eastern “everything apps” were there as people were starting to switch to doing things on their phones, so the ecosystems grew around them as things were developing (especially WeChat). Elon’s coming in trying to turn Twitter into an everything app nearly ten years too late.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value3·2 years agoThe big difference between Twitter and all those other apps, as someone who has used both KakaoTalk and Line, is that they didn’t start out as social media posting apps - they were just chat messaging apps for talking to your friends, not the world. Then they added payment for things like buying stamps or sending friends money. From there, once they had established payment methods and users that trusted them, they started slowly adding services people thought were useful. The ecosystems built up organically over time. No one planned for them to be everything apps or tried to force it on the apps and users. They became those because they adapted to how people were using the internet on their phones.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value12·2 years agoThing is, it probably won’t. MySpace is still around. LiveJournal is still around. Big social media platforms don’t tend to stop existing. But they do stop being culturally and socially relevant, and that’s what I hope comes sooner rather than later to Twitter: irrelevancy.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•A thought experiment about SEAL Team 6 goes terribly, terribly wrong24·2 years agoShould be pretty fucking loud and clear to every Drumf supporter out there who he is and what he wants to do to your god damn country.
Thing is, the already know, and not only do they not care, it’s what they like about him. They WANT him to do it.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Fetterman says he assumed speaking publicly about his mental health ‘would be the end of my career’5910·2 years agoIt’s not the speaking about mental health that will be the end of his career. It’s the bullheaded support of an ongoing genocide that will do it.
Him speaking so openly about his mental health was the one thing he had going for him in my mind, tbh. I’ve side eyed him ever since finding out he liked a shotgun on a Black man out for a jog, just because Fetterman thought he heard gunshots, and assumed the Black man out for a jog must be a criminal running away.
stopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPto Work Reform@lemmy.world•'Leave them stranded': Rideshare drivers shut off apps at Atlanta airport, boycott for hours4·2 years agoMARTA is so inconvenient. I’m lucky; my family only lives twenty minutes from the airport so I just have to call them when I get in. And even though they’re so close, there’s no public transportation option to even get close to where my family is.
And God help you if you want to take the bus; those MARTA buses come when the mood hits them.
Which is exactly what the Republicans wanted.
