Writing on the Open Internet has things in common with diaries, memoirs, journalism, pop culture, and the Peanut Gallery. Like a lot of things, it does not always benefit from scaling. And I'm not always certain it is worthy, or wise, to preserve it all, especially in the Age of Surveillance, and the Almighty Algorithm judging us all. But with so many words and pictures being generated and shared, surely some parts are worthy of being saved? If so, it is a daunting task. This one seems to make more sense to me than others I've seen. Perhaps of interest to @Doc Edward Morbius?

Seit Mitte der Neunziger Linux, ganz früher usenet, ab 2007 #Blogs (damals, als man da viel kommentierte und sich unterhielt), ab Januar 2009 twitter und identica. Von identica zu gnusocial, teils diaspora, friendica, inzwischen all dieses über #friendica, welches eben auch mastodon und ähnliches mit versorgt.
Richie, Gismo und Ute im Hegau, Blick auf den Hohentwiel

Ich hab schon immer verschiedene Wege für unterschiedliche Kontakte. Wenn jemand in meinen Lieblingsnetzwerken ist, dann lese ich die Person dort und meist nicht in weiteren Netzwerken. Ich poste teils schon sehr ähnliches, manchmal auch dasselbe und teils auch mit Crossposts von twitter nach friendica. Ich nutze die Netzwerke, die ich mag, ich bin nicht so gut bei Video und Audio, alles was vor allem Text und Bild ist, ist eher meins.

Im Job waren und sind Themen vieles im Web, früher Webseitenerstellen heute mehr Umgang mit Tools schulen und selbst nutzen. Als Unternehmerin teils auch mit Laden, mit Mitarbeitern, Kundenverkehr sind andere Themen zwar ungern, aber nötigerweise Buchhaltung, Steuer usw.

Lange gern immer mal auf einem #Barcamp inzwischen jedoch auf den #Hund gekommen und mit zwei Hunden die fast überall dabei sind, passten Barcamps schon vor Corona weniger. Derzeit grad auf dem Weg wieder etwas mehr mit Menschen zu unternehmen, mal wieder essen gehen oder auf einen Markt oder ähnliches.
Richie der #GoldenRetriever und Gismo der #CavalierKingCharles gehören zur Familie. Mit meinem Lieblingsmenschen, mit dem ich schon sehr lange zusammen lebe, sind wir uns bei vielem ähnlich, ihn findet man jedoch nur in wenigen Netzwerken und meist auch eher lesend als postend.

Geboren, aufgewachsen und bis heute lebe ich im Landkreis #Konstanz inzwischen von der Stadt am See zum Dorf im #Hegau gewechselt.

    Why wasn't Dragon Age 4 at EA Play Live 2021? 

Dragon Age four may not have made an look at EA Play stay 2021, but a brand new file can also have shed mild on why - and whilst we'll get our fingers on BioWare's surprisingly-predicted myth RPG.

in line with a file through GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb, assets acquainted with Dragon Age four's improvement told the ebook that the new Dragon Age is on the right track for release in 2023. EA declined to touch upon the record.

The document also claims that EA held back from offering a Dragon Age 4 at EA Play live 2021, to permit it to "get the game into function to start advertising in earnest".
further, the report corroborates Bloomberg's report from in advance this year that BioWare has determined to drop plans for a Dragon Age four stay-provider model, as an alternative opting to construct the new Dragon Age as a single-player enjoy, like its predecessors. however, the record does additionally recommend that Dragon Age 4 could have an internet multiplayer element, similar to Dragon Age: Inquisition
A 2023 launch window for Dragon Age 4 does line up with EA's preceding feedback. at some stage in an income call in 2019 (via Eurogamer), EA's chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen stated that Dragon Age 4 "likely comes after economic '22", that means the earliest we could see the brand new Dragon Age is April 2022 - while the next monetary yr starts offevolved.

it's definitely welcome information that Dragon Age 4 will be on target for a 2023 release - even supposing it seems a long time away. Given the development issues because of the Covid-19 pandemic, a multitude of games have been behind schedule within the past 12 months, while PS5 and Xbox series X consoles were tough to get hold of.

however, by the point of Dragon Age's release, those issues ought to have settled down, with any luck that means Dragon Age four might not suffer delays - even though it's not a cert right now - and that greater players will have been able to get their palms on the new consoles (which EA ought to completely, along computer, pick to goal).

If we are waiting for Dragon Age four in 2023 then marketing will probable begin to ramp up from early 2022, providing further information on what we are able to anticipate from the next Dragon Age installment - and the way it's going to make use of the energy of the latest console hardware. So, while Dragon Age 4 wasn't at EA Play stay 2021, we expect a corpulent update at EA Play stay 2022.
it is really worth noting that neither EA nor BioWare has showed a release date for Dragon Age 4, so this release window may want to still slip.
