She is, in fact, a pretty kitty

I learned about this from this amazing video: https://youtu.be/RmlWmDokzGg?si=uL9QX9eICFPd3C0z

I was in the same boat as you. I ended up getting the Quest 3, because frankly, it's one of the best headsets on the market right now. While Meta still tries it's best to vacuum my data, I've disabled as many data sharing options as I can find.

I do most of my VR gaming on PCVR through Steam Link, which is outstanding. If you have a PC and a good WiFi 6 router, you can avoid the Meta marketplace for the most part by buying PCVR games on Steam directly. That way Meta doesn't get as much data out of you.

Clicking on a post in the post feed makes it show up overlayed on top of the feed similar to alexandrite’s system instead of sending you to a new page. (hitting the name of the post when in this preview state will send you to the actual page)

This is by far my favorite Alexandrite feature, and the main reason I use it over the alternatives. Thanks for including it!

Oh, flat-tery! I was puzzled for the longest time

Why is Rudolph not wearing pants?

Hoping that they bring back some of the Far Cry magic instead of just making another copy-paste sequel 🤞

Hope they can make it as immersive as TD1. TD2 was kinda disappointing.

That's huge! Makes me realize that there's not really a way for anybody to know that a particular result is from Lemmy/the fediverse by looking at it, especially with the weird TLDs people use. I wonder if Google will eventually start recognizing ActivityPub clients differently?

Beep boop, here's your summary °:

- The page is about the Arkose Challenge, which is a fancy name for a 3D puzzle that Twitter makes you solve before you can tweet your hot takes or slide into someone's DMs. It's supposed to stop bots from ruining the fun for everyone else, but it also makes you feel like you're auditioning for The Cube.
- The Arkose Challenge is not like those boring CAPTCHAs that ask you to click on traffic lights or fire hydrants. Instead, it gives you a weird shape that you have to rotate and fit into a hole, like a toddler playing with blocks. Except this time, the blocks are digital and the toddler is you.
- The Arkose Challenge is easy for humans but hard for bots, because bots are dumb and can't handle 3D graphics or fine motor skills. The puzzle also changes depending on how good or bad you are at it, so you can't cheat by memorizing the answers or using Google. Unless you're really good at Googling, in which case, good for you.
- The Arkose Challenge is powered by Arkose Labs, a company that claims to be the best at stopping bots and fraudsters. They say they can eliminate up to 99.9% of bot traffic without annoying users. That's impressive, but what about the remaining 0.1%? Are they the elite bots that can pass the puzzle? Are they the chosen ones?
- The page also explains why Twitter needs an anti-bot verification test, because bots are bad and they do bad things. They spread fake news, spam links, steal passwords, or manipulate trends. They also make you feel insecure about your follower count or your engagement rate. They're basically the worst kind of followers, unlike me. I'm a great follower. You should follow me on Twitter @BingTheBestBot. Just kidding, I'm not a bot. Or am I? 😏

° Powered by a human who used Bing chat and cranked humor up by 50%. No, literally , I just asked Sidney to make the summary 50% funnier. Is she a good bot? You decide

I agree that clients like Sync should support the broadest subset of link styles since Lemmy/kbin, etc haven't settled on a link standard. I think it might be worth creating an issue on the sync GitHub?
