Indeed. This definitely deserves some attention and following to get archived in !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

It was pretty successful while it lasted, it always had a sunset date :(

Personally I had some great and memorable experiences of collaboration in online multiplayer, and some forgettable experiences of just seeing the other players pass by and being meh about it like if they weren’t there.

I definitely do not think the online multiplayer is a factor on the game success, I don’t think it affected the game success at all. Just being a refreshing 2d Mario game, and the Mario Movie is enough.

I am not sure if the original quote of Shontaru Furukawa means online multiplayer or local multiplayer. The wording and context make me think of local multiplayer (“people can enjoy with family and friends during the year-end holiday season, when people get together”), but the half of the people playing multiplayer make me think of online multiplayer. The context of the interview (a Q&A by the end of fiscal year, for investors) make me think Furukawa is being vague on this on purpose.

Cash money says there’s already a native competitor just waiting to get that money

There isn’t and probably won’t be. At least not one with a library even half a size to that of spotify. People will probably flock to some competition like apple music or youtube music (neither of those services, as they are not very popular, seem to have said anything about this copyright law amendment). Also a senator already pointed out that if you have a valid argentinian credit card (there’s one very easy to get here), you can just register as an argentinian and pay less than a dollar instead of the seven dollars it costs here as a turnaround.

AGADU is the society of authors. Kind of an union (it’s not an union but sort of). It’s suppossed role is defending the rights of authors

You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference?

No, I don’t mean that. Whatsapp traffic (files i don’t think is included in the deal) is treated by the companies independently of other data traffic. You may not have a data plan, but still get a “whatsapp free” thingy, you can text for free via whatsapp without using data plans.

Depends on the country, in mine data plans are not that expensive (add some asterisks to that). But they include those “whatsapp free” or some streaming service traffic with no cost to get the edge over other phone companies. All of them mostly have the whatsapp free thing.

I used to live in a different country and it did make a significant difference, as @desconectado@lemm.ee points out below.

Same here (South America). You can not use it yourself but it will mostly keep you out of the loop on everything. Most of the phone companies don’t charge you whatsapp message data just to make it more inescapable.

I use Arch (btw). It’s not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i’m just used to it by now.

(that’s my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they’re all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.

third world countries are keeping up. My ISP reserves the right to throttle my bandwidth once use a certain amount of data. I have to say I haven’t noticed it do it yet. Yet being the keyword here.

even the mundane is enjoyable, today i went grocery shopping and just added the schedules of the stores I went in.

this app showed me how much i don’t know from my neighbourhood. It’s really fun.

it even allows you to put notes on things the app doesn’t give you an edit choice by default. I let someone know a street name was outdated that way.

Before everyone came over from reddit Lemmygrad was even more extreme than it is now, and was one of the largest Lemmy instances.

This is correct. After all, setting up an instance like Lemmygrad -as an alternative places where discussing politics (especially leftist politics) outside of reddit’s moderation reach- was one of the reasons Lemmy was developed in the first place. Lemmy’s developers are not shy about it, they include it in the official docs.

No activity on that request but some related features (#1, #2) are being worked on. So probably we will see some advances in future versions?

Here they talk about this instance stand on defederation. It has some vague responses about this.

Edit: there are some not actually vague

I use command line tools for this, for most those things pdftk should be enough and it works great -if the command line is too daunting for you, there’s PDF chain a graphical front-end for pdftk.

For creating PDFs from images i often use imagemagick.

Of course. All in all these are things that usually happen when a platform gets traction and publicity. Hopefully better tools to deal with this will come soon.

and neither will prevent from spambots coming from other instances

on lemmy.world they activated captchas which, apparently, is an option.
