"BioWare's latest Dragon Age epic holds a "generally favourable" review average of 84 on Metacritic, based on a consensus of 54 critics' scores.

But the game's Metacritic user score is listed as just 3.8 out of 10, with a majority of user opinions falling in the starkly negative range. Looking at some of the most recent reviews at the time of writing, these include numerous scores of zero out of 10 for content in the game repeatedly described as "woke"."

"By contrast, the 13,006 user reviews for Dragon Age: The Veilguard currently on Steam - which requires you actually play the game before leaving a review - are "Mostly Positive"."

Nintendo would "rather go in a different direction" than follow AI trend, says Miyamoto https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-would-rather-go-in-a-different-direction-than-follow-ai-trend-says-miyamoto

I probably forgot many things but this one is important in my opinion:

✨ Create, maintain, and consult lists. ✨

My main timeline is for doomscrolling. My lists are for keeping up with colleagues and friends.

✨ Friendly reminder ✨ #Mastodon is older than:

* The fall of #Twitter.
* The birth of #Bluesky.
* The birth of #Threads.

If you feel like your timeline is empty, that nobody interacts with you, or that this space seems abandoned...

In summary, if you miss the artificiality of The Algorithm©, remember that you are the person in charge here 🤗 And that this is the most beautiful gift a social media platform can offer to anyone.

Mastodon has a lot of active accounts. Therefore, make your experience here more relevant by:

* Following other users.
* Interacting with them.
* Following hashtags (this is how you replace the recommandation algorithms).
* Following bot accounts (some are really great and useful).

This is gonna be fun 😊

@bfluzin as someone in his 40s, it is so easy to minimise or forget about the people impacted by this. A few generations will have lived in hell, maybe even stoping taking public transportations in the last part of their lives because of non-age-inclusive digitisation.

@mtriclot L'usage était trop grossier ?

La revue scientifique Humanités Numériques @RevueHN sort son 6ème numéro (voir sommaire dans l'image jointe) https://journals.openedition.org/revuehn/3082

Un article m'a particulièrement intéressé : « Objectifs et stratégies de publication d’un bulletin de liaison : Le Médiéviste et l’Ordinateur (1979-1989) », qui raconte l'histoire et le fonctionnement d'une revue (avant-gardiste) consacrée à l'usage de l'informatique dans la recherche en histoire médiévale.
