I finished rewatching "Star Trek: The Next Generation" together with a group of friends. So grateful for the HD Remaster, this show deserved the effort.

The bot doch-alle-menner.bsky.social I complained about renamed itself to anti-endo-cis-men.bsky.social with only an "apology" posted that explicitly excluded "Endo CIS Men" and today the account is deactivated, not suspended! In ~2 weeks with many reports @bsky.app did not manage to ban a hate-bot.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

I am rather disappointed with @bsky.app. In my Discover feed I get people hating on men, who follow the bot doch-alle-menner.bsky.social whose only purpose is to post CIS Men hating replies, including posts that call for CIS Men to get punched in the face. Moderation is not reacting to reports.

While Bluesky has good ideas, the possibility to outsource critical thinking by subscribing to block/mute lists I am sceptical about.
People often do not react to reality, but to their own opinions and prejudice, reading into posts what was not said.

Great, are some folks really so uptight to flag @thedevil.bsky.social as Spam and @bsky.app really goes through with it while keeping antisocial mute lists up that just arbitrarily lump people together (e.g. Furries for being Furries)?

I like my retro games with CRT filters. CRTs are a thing of the past and I rather try to replicate the old look on modern tech that is readily available. If you like your games pixel perfect without any filters, that's good and valid, for my taste that looks raw, though.

I am going to buy a Retrotink 4k when it becomes available. Already have a 5x Pro and never regretted the purchase. Mike Chi does amazing work and properly supports his creations. After all these years the 5x Pro is still getting new features via firmware updates.

The RetroTINK 4K has a product page and a price now. Yes, it’s expensive. It’s literally the dream scaler with every possible idea and feature thrown at it. It’s overwhelming how much this thing can do, more than can fit in any one post. Worth it.

What Happens to a Werewolf on the Moon?
As space agencies turn their gaze to the moon, we need to consider what werewolves might mean for lunar exploration—and vice versa
