Mastodon culture complaint / me being petty

I once saw a post from someone I followed saying "since you are on Mastodon, you agree that..." - and I immediately unfollowed that person. I'm not on Mastodon and even if I were, I resent the assumption that the software I use (not even the server, the software!!) defines my cultural values.

YouTube Premium tip: the Premium subscription is tied to your Google account, not your YouTube brand account - so if your brand account is tied to more than one Google account, make sure your YouTube apps are logged into the one with the subscription, and not the one without.

Anyone know how to keep Discord from automatically adding me to the servers of people I back on Patreon? Just because I want to support their work doesn't mean I want to engage with their other followers in such an intimate setting

You know, if I asked someone who was a native speaker of, say, Chinese who was learning the Latin alphabet for the first time, I bet they would say that the Loco-Motion is easier

I just accidentally searched ddg for "alignment char" and got information on how to align C char arrays 😹

I didn't realize that Pixelfed put "This post may contain sensitive content" whenever someone's reply had a CW. I thought they were just saying that as a meme

My favorite thing about Fire Emblem Engage is how engaging all of the early game maps are - okay, maybe not the tutorial parts, but there are no slogs like Binding Blade ch. 5 or Sacred Stones ch. 5x. Midgame isn't half bad either. (Lategame kind of turns into a big number battle with few new units and at that point it stops being a good ironman game.)

I can't be the only one who's thought that could do a really good cover of this classic Dionne Warwick / Bee Gees song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xHQsMYosao Question is, what would the dance moves be?
