Didn’t know it was that large yet, that’s pretty good! The point is whether 700k leaving twitter says anything about a trend. Bluesky could be twice the size of twitter without changing the point.

I will probably start using Bluesky and Mastodon shortly.

I think the poster wants to say it means not that many in the US are leaving twitter or looking for alternatives, contrary to what the headline suggests.

I started in software and moved on to physics, which has a lot of programming and is similar in many ways. Still, it’s different and I like that I made the choice. I will soon have contributed to physics in a small but meaningful way, which was my reason for switching. I plan to stop after that and just go back to programming. Posts like these make me think I should switch again but to an even more orthogonal subject.

My dream game has always been a game that combines the most impressive technologies with open ended gameplay. So like impressive modern graphics and; physics and; Red Faction-like destructible environments and; procedurally generated content. All wrapped in a good-enough gameplay package like an RPG or something.

I realize all these technologies come at great trade-offs, but the dream is a good balance.

It’s mostly the destructible environments from Red Faction Guerilla that I’d want in other games.
