iFixit: the Switch 2 Pro is a 'Piss-Poor Excuse For a Controller' - Slashdot
iFixit has harsh words for Nintendo's $85 Switch 2 Pro controller, calling it a "piss-poor excuse for a controller" due to its difficult repairability, use of outdated drift-prone joysticks, and poor internal accessibility.games.slashdot.org
And Facebook still hasn't bothered trying to detect them?

Any ActivityPub and Mastodon experts out there?
Why might a link to a profile like @blog send a user to the web site vs show it in the profile pane in Mastodon?
just small circles 🕊 hat dies geteilt.
how do you link to the profile?
when I search for `https://posthero.us/actor` and click on the search result it opens properly, so I would assume that it is about the linking!?
@andypiper maybe not! another idea: you link to posthero.us/ as Actor-URL and that URL does neither support Content-Negotiation, nor adds a link header to the ID posthero.us/actor.
So maybe that might be a problem!?
@pfefferle @andypiper we should do a better job with discovering the AP objects behind embedded links to HTML. There's a project at the W3C SocialCG for this:

Thoughts on a \"Web Follow\" protocol
Mastodon's cross-instance following is clunky. I propose a solution using the web+follow URL scheme, like mailto, to streamline following users on ActivityPub platforms. A user's home instance registers as a handler for web+follow.Paul Kinlan (Modern Web Development with Chrome)

Protip from a 32 yo woman who has a STEM degree and almost all male-coded hobbies: If a man starts testing* you about your interests, hobbies, or job, don’t engage him — just walk away. Those men are not worth a single ounce of effort and you aren’t required to justify yourself to anyone.
