The great thing is, now you’re 100% empowered to move forward and host the responsibility yourself. Demanding volunteers shoulder potential liability (when you yourself admit you can’t understand how there’s any in the first place) is juvenile.

The moment a volunteer is hit with a DMCA notice or any threat of legal action, you think they have any interest in going through the court system? You can do it first.

The steam deck is hands down the most interesting piece of tech (outside of modern smart phones). It’s wild I’ve been able to get Fallout 3 mods working in the crazy windows proton boot shells that just magically worked.

Steam Decking fallout 3 atm, with D4 occasionally spaced in. Next is n ew Vegas and fo4.

Waving a Nazi flag should be a flight to Dachau and experiencing a full 12 months the --exact-- same way it used to be.

Arbeit macht frei.

I’m gonna hold that is was immensely more fun around A10-12, but to be fair I haven’t tried the latest release.

History became legend.

Legend became myth.

And for two and a half thousand years, Foul Bachelor Frog passed out of all knowledge.

To be fair, 2 of those games are legit some of the GOATs. I’ve been gaming since my mom played Mario with me in the early 90s, and those two games are something else.

I remember buying the Minecraft alpha for $10, and there wasn’t that much to do, but it was strangely addicting.

I think it’s because when it is illegal it’s ultra illegal and ultra terrible. Even then I question how much of it is already pretty sus.

I’ve been hearing this since 2010. Nothing is going to change.

EA Sports 2024 is going to come out, it’s going to have 40,000 mixed reviews.

To be fair, platforms like this will originate in that shape for the significant future. Reddit did as well. I’m not white, but work as a software engineer.

Anyone that bothers you based on your hardware is an actual 🤡

I always wanted a Tesla. I’m now in a position I could buy one comfortably, but now I have a spine and won’t.

We might have to accept we’re on the “losing” side, e.g. Lemmy will never have the numbers our subreddits had. We’ll have smaller communities and less content, but hopefully better conversation.

This is phenomenal for a month or two worth of work. There are some dummy skilled engineers out there that got pissed off and acted on their anger - I love it.

WE made the content. The community. No doubt the majority of level-headed folk would have accepted ad requirements in 3rd party apps. Hosting isn’t free, something needs to be monetized.

But that’s not what it’s about. It’s about locking down content from the new wave of AI models and charging for it. Charging for content we created freely to be shared.

Across the Spiderverse for $7 is money well, well spent.

I’m in! Unless rif goes to lif, in which case cheers all around :)
