Spacewar! was a F2P PvP game with no microtransactions and no battle pass. Although it’s hard to quantify exact player numbers (it precedes Steam charts), for a while it was the most played videogame in the world.

Its real-time graphics and multiplayer combat were very influential, and widely copied by many other games.

That sounds very interesting, do you remember the name or the author?

If you’re referring to the US’ Video Privacy Protection Act, it was passed only because it slightly embarrassed a Supreme Court nominee.

So for there to be half-decent online privacy laws in the US, first someone will have to leak Clarence Thomas’ Pornhub search history or something like that.

The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

Do you want to go to a video’s channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

• Go to Home.

• Long-press on a video.

• Press “Go to channel”.

• Go to Subscriptions.

• Long-press on a video.

• Fewer options because fuck you.

• Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

• Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

And that’s just one example.

Look up the Everburn Blade in Baldur’s Gate 3.

REMEMBER US! REMEMBER THAT WE ONCE LIVED!

I run my own Synapse server with bridges to WhatsApp and Telegram, along with a few other services, using Yunohost. I haven’t observed any huge resource usage, and I like the centralized management/update. One possible downside is that you won’t get the latest versions immediately, the Yunohost maintainers take time to test those. I prefer the stability that gives me but if you want to be on the edge a docker setup will be better.

Do you all seriously edit text files directly‽

I use hexedit for all my programming, that way I can see my text’s source code. It allows things that are impossible with lesser editors, like differentiate l and 1. Newer versions even provide a “live view” that shows your text’s output right beside its source, updated almost instantly. I don’t personally use it as it consumes a lot of resources but it’s a great help if you’re just starting out.

I seriously doubt you’ll be able to see Instagram content from any other app. At most, they’ll federate Threads content. But more probably they’ll only federate inwards: Threads users will be able to follow anyone on the Fediverse, no one outside will get to see anything from inside.

Yes, that’s the plan. The update from 9 to 10 was really easy, the only problem I got was some Python apps which needed a manual pip refresh, but the instructions were all there.

AFAIK, Yunohost on bookworm is already in testing but it’ll be released when the devs feel the update is working correctly.

You’re right, I should have specified I was referring to the platform. My point was against the dumb narrative that capitalism creates anything.

Workers created Reddit, like everything else. Economic systems don’t create anything, only determine who profits from those creations.
