The witcher 4 trailer was so incredibly lame...
I get, that you cannot tell the same story 4 times in a row, but that was not a Witcher trailer. Why? Because contrary to other slashers, witchers are special by the way they prepate for the fight and the way they deal with moral problems.
So, how did she prepare? How did she show us, that she knows the monster she is fighting with? In a trailer for first Witcher, he knew he had to hide inside a coffin. That was briliant storytelling. In the vampire trailer for W3, he poisoned his own blood. GREAT. In here....... she used a night vision after she realized, that fighting in dark is hard. Yes, she drank it in the middle of the hunt.
So, what about that morality? Well, that is where the trailer gets insulting. It steals the "killing monsters" line from the trailer for W3, obviously called "killing monsters". But in this case, they didn't show it. They were so Californicized, that they were afraid to show the moral act of executing the cancerous pigs. So, what did the trailer actually show? Barely competent superhero slaying the hag no.9.
I cannot believe, they managed to fuck up a trailer.
I was trying to look into a minor issue with my mother's wifi router, but not remembering the password I attempted to log in a bit too much. When it stopped connecting to the internet at all I had apparently broken it completely and I tried to fix it for quite a while. Two resets and reconfiguring later we had finally internet back. Then we read on that internet that there had been a big outage with several service providers where their routes to Google had been broken, many people reporting problems.
So the conclusion is clear: Google's routes run through my mother's wifi router.
I did a thread asking about authorized fetch before switching it on, and no one seemed certain if there would be problems.
So, I did a trial period, and no one reported any problems reaching the accounts (I was asking via FediTips which wasn't on authorized fetch). And my hosting company said there weren't any problems at their end. So I just left it on.
As far as I can tell it does work now? Would like to hear if there are issues though.
I’m a firm believer that tech can’t singlehandedly solve social / cultural problems.
I’m also a firm believer that tech is an important part of systemic feedback loops, that UX shapes behavior and culture in surprising ways, and that sometimes small tech changes can help •mitigate• social problems.
So…maybe keep new users off the instance’s local timeline until they have >N followers…?
