Well, I'm part of this breach and not French. FYI.

Got the notification from haveibeenpwned.com ... if you haven't subscribed to it, it's pretty informative if you don't have a way to be notified of potential breaches that you have been compromised in.

I'm all for personal choice, by all means, do what you want. But it should not affect others. Vaccines are based on science, not belief.

Plenty of us are probably scouting steam for good deals. If you haven't tried Immortals Fenyx Rising, its awesome. And its $7.99 (from $39.99). Easy buy for that price.

Here's something interesting for everyone... A student in Austria at the University of Vienna is conducting a study for their Masters Thesis. If you also use Mastodon, this study is aimed toward that, but will influence the fediverse regardless.

"My master thesis aims to understand the gap between registered accounts and active users. After a spike in registrations in 2022, the number of active users on Mastodon decreased, and this study aims to find out why."

Here's the link to her survey, and I'm sure she will greatly appreciate all the engagement she can get - especially if its coming directly from the source. It can be taken in English or German:

Ya know... Didn't really consider this too much, but it was always in the back of my head. Wonder what will happen when #StarCitizen releases... If ever. But, then again, I don't really even care anymore 🤣

I used to go all out with naming my characters in MMOs... went to the name generators and spent a pretty good amount of time before settling on one. Nowadays, I just use the one I've been using since I got tired of doing that every time lol.
