I wonder if Embracer even had a lot of stakes in this? They sold of Aspyrs parent company (Saber) a few days before release.

Edit: My bad, apparently they kept Aspyr.

Download an APK of an older version and disable auto-updates.

The API still works well so the old client doesn’t have any issues.

I know I can.

But my point is that a lot of users will not stay here if they need to jump through different identical-communities across several instances or other websites to build their content-flow.

Decenteralized systems in all it’s glory, but I think at some point we will need to address or come up with a solution on how we market niche communities.

In reddit it was so simple to find your communities. Let’s say you grew interest in Balisongs, then you just type r/balisong and there you are. This helps discovery immensly.

Doing this on a lemmy instance will only get you to that instance community. Which means you might have like 10 of these already niche communities spread out around different instances.

Personally I’d think a system where an instance can promote or assign another instance community as the “main” one, with some type of backup feature, would help Lemmy grow.

But I also think that opinion is controversial considering the nature of a decentralized system.

I agree completely.

I don’t have examples at hand now, but I feel like I see so much like minorly-sexist talk. Or at least the stuff I only imagined horny men write, in so many threads.

Reddit was the same like ~10 years ago and I don’t miss that part of it.

If you want to be radical, use Kelvin. At least it scaled identical to C so it’s easy to comprehend.

Just gonna hijack this and recommend https://www.renshuu.org/ for everybody trying to learn Japanese.

It’s probably the best compaion-app I have found for learning the language.

Issue comes up when people start praising Valve as some godlike entity in comparison.

To be fair, if he said what he wrote here in private, it’d still be extremely bad leadership.

Obviously he should correct them and point out why, but maybe not trash on them entierly.

This is not exactly true and just now the court ruled that Postnord does not need to do it yet.

We’ll need to wait a few days until we know for sure what will happen. But for now Postnord does not need to deliver the license plates to Tesla.

I agree, run Firefox as your main and then a privacy focused fork of Chromium as your second if you need it for specific website.

Personally I barely ever encounter issues with websites running FF.

On a platform like Spotify I don’t really see the issue here.

Have you ever looked through the other 85% of the content? Excluding finding some obscure hits, most of it is trash.

Unless we want to argue that any art in our current economical system should be of equal value no matter what.

Oh, so you want to make a website where you post personal pictures of youself and post updates of your everyday life, while connecting to your friends? It’ll be really big you say? There’s nothing else on the market lile this? Let’s go!!!

Yeah.

We can hope that the mod-tools that are confirmed to be in the works will be open enough that the community can develop something. But I doubt Larian will get the go-ahead to implement actual GM-tools (like in DOS2) for this game.

The first thing I do when I am greeted by a customer-service bot is spam it with “I want to talk to a human”, “Forward me to an assistant” and “Let me talk to your master”.

It works in like 2/3 cases.

I think it’s important to distinct what part of the left.

Most of the left on Lemmy? Probably not.

A lot of liberals who align themselves with the US democrats? There was a lot of support until the famous pedo incident.

Not exactly the same, but somebody recently did 1-60 on WoW HC Classic while walking on a treadmill.

Hopefully the first step in that direction. I think it’s easier to introduce legislation like this in parts.

If they banned all non-essential car traffic there’d probably be too many complaints. Reducing it partly, similar to how the shitty car structure was introduced, is the best way to keep people on with it

I mean it had repeatedly lost money for years, I honestly don’t think anything could have said it. I am not at all defending Musk, I just think the platform was doomed with our without him.

I think he, accurately, determined that it was a sinking ship. He got as many employees to leave as possible and is now trying to get as much money as possible from the service before it dies.
