Overwhelmed by the deluge of cyclical TTRPG chats? The Aqualith Consortium on @mewe may be more to your taste. It is the central discussion hub for Aqualith Media as a business, publishing imprint for a micro setting, and its adjacent nerdery. 🫧 Head downstream⬇️

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds. Not a guess. Not a theory. A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it. Samsung TVs: every minute. LG TVs: every 15 seconds. Even when you're just using it as a monitor. Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

@Nerdcognito Shockingly perfect ending, and it was a J.J. Abrams show at that.

It's hard to get a finale right. There is only one television show that 100% nailed its finale. It wasn't The Sopranos. It wasn't Breaking Bad. It wasn't Seinfeld... Not just good, not just great, but perfect.

"I have nothing to hide." False. You have medical history. You have financial behavior. You have location patterns. You have political views. You have relationship data. Privacy was never about hiding crimes. It was always about owning your life.

I've updated my Calendly meeting scheduler to now include Proton Meet as an option (Referral: pr.tn/ref/ZDMYE5FB9A…) Regardless if its business, networking, or a chat, I'm open to it! Find time on my calender: calendly.com/consultwithrya…

@ProtonSupport Oh, I wasn't blaming you guys, but at X. ProtonVPN works swimmingly in almost all cases. I can't pinpoint what server I was connected to at the time, but posting this reply did spark it again. I'll send the server info along.

@aqualithmedia This should not be the case. Please contact us at protonvpn.com/support/contact with more details about the servers in question so we can further troubleshoot and better assist you.

My use of @ProtonVPN when using X.com to tweet on my mobile browser is regularly thwarted and I am presented with this message. It needs to stop. Let people use the platform how they want.

@DiscussingFilm This is why I don't watch new TV. It almost always disappoints. Also, another prime reason, no pun intended, why gatekeeping is good.

Amazon's new head of TV has requested that the ‘MASS EFFECT’ series should be rewritten to appeal to “non-gamers.” A greenlight for the series is expected shortly. (Source: theankler.com/p/why-is-peter…)

@exQUIZitely Yep. Tier One Nightslayer bracers from MC. It was my first raid ever too.

This one goes out to the OGs of World of Warcraft. Do you remember your very first purple item? How it felt to finally equip it? I was in a guild at the time, and we were on our 20+ BWL run. It had dropped before, but it went to someone else (loot council decided), and I didn’t mind. When it dropped a second time, everyone was genuinely happy for me to finally get it. Man, the feeling of that first purple item finally being yours… not so shabby back then. What was yours?

I'll be testing this out soon!

Who needs to make friends? Some people REALLY enjoy making friends.

@DiscussingFilm He left his mark as Radcliffe in the MCU as well.

John Hannah will return for ‘THE MUMMY 4’. In theaters on May 19, 2028. (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…)

@BatmanNotes The transformation to the Batmissle blew my mind as a kid. And then the cherry on top was the reveal of the Bat Ski Boat in the third act. So cool.

Yes or no … best Batmobile ever?

@BenCoTHPS @BatmanNotes Me too.

@BatmanNotes Sure it was cool but I'm always a sucker for the BTAS design

@LawDogStrikes I took a look at Orbital Blues a few years ago but didn't read or play it. Is Cowboy Bebop a reasonable high level vibe comparison?

#ttrpg What’s on your plate for RPGs this weekend? I’m running Orbital Blues Saturday And AD&D 2nd Sunday.

@Krexxal I have too many other favorite factions in the game. I never really cared deeply about the main two. Silver Covenant and Argent Crusade held my interest.

Horde because it's what sets WoW apart from other MMOs

@GrapheneOS It is a sign you are absolutely in the right business and are making a difference. Heed them not, and never, ever apologize.

There are at least a dozen people spending at least several hours attacking GrapheneOS across platforms on a daily basis. It's a very strange situation. How do these people have so much time and dedication to keep making posts across platforms attacking us? It's relentless.

@PlatinumEquinox The Edge did a great job with that theme too.

Most underrated Batman show 🔥
