I’m assuming this is more about art assets. Art is not code and you shouldn’t expect them for free. It’s not a catch.

With ActivityPub specifically, I’m aware. Yet privacy-conscious people tend to congregate there as well, which was my point.

You’d think Fedi would be a good place to be active on from a privacy-conscious user-base perspective, but I think this is the second time they leave Fedi? Either way, I guess being on Reddit allows them to moderate all the naysayers away.

I think the original question could be about the protocol. Why not use Matrix as the protocol for the project? No one is doing the work to bring a Matrix-based Discord alternative because they’re a) on Discord b) creatin IRC face-lifts like Element c) refusing to quit IRC d) making projects with bespoke protocols like this one. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

These plugins just never work quite as well as a browser made specifically for it, namely Qutebrowser. Trouble with Qutebrowser is that’s it’s Python and parsing a lot of links slows it down. Still the best browser out there for this use case though, as far as I know.

I assume as the volume of links grow, the amount of work mods would have to do in vetting editorialized headlines grow as well as some people would like to inject in their own bias. You’d see this obnoxious editorialization from time to time in .ml in the past on articles concerning USA, for example.

I’d just add the relevant info in angle brackets after the original headline, personally.

I understand the general sentiment, but this whole “we’re no longer a democracy” is at best bullshit and at worst a dangerous statement to repeat. There’s a lot to fix in the US democracy (and somehow money involved isn’t even the most critical issue right now), but simply stating it doesn’t exist could empower some really destructive behaviour. Try living next to Russia for some perspective.

Follow small vtubers, don’t go on X and don’t go on YouTube. Save yourself from this stupidity.

Hype. Thanks for the continued maintenance and improvements.

What you’re saying is “inevitable” hasn’t happened for the entire 20+ years of Steam. I’m going to guess Valve is going to continue being a private company and doing whatever the fuck they want, without investor pressure towards enshittification.

Steam’s monopoly is actually what’s holding PC gaming together. Other types of digital distribution services are so fucked up by exclusivity deals that any “competition” is always going to mean “megacorporation uses existing wealth to deny competition”.

Epic is trying really hard to bring the exclusivity nightmare over to PC gaming as well, but so far Valve still holds.

Qtox should work? It’s not a very good chat software and a bit cumbersome, but it allows direct file transfers.

I do wonder if it’s going to be HC viable as well.

Sad to see 'cause it feels like we need Pirate Parties more than ever.

“Record result” doesn’t even begin to describe how hard they shattered their previous number. They went from 7% last election to 17%. Left Alliance has never seen numbers like this as far as I know.

I’d vote for RX 480, personally.

I’m glad there’s finally some real backlash for this shit.

I really only wanted mods to fix the horrible 2011 Xbox 360 UI and to remove the dynamic enemy level scaling, but for the latter no manual install guides were provided and it seems you must use one of these mod organizing softwares for whatever fucking reason.

For mod organizer no install instructions were provided for a Linux/GOG combination so I just gave up trying to mod Skyrim. I just wanted two goddamn mods and I failed.

Vähän ulkomaiden politiikkaa mutta kun oli tämmöinen hyvän mielen artikkeli.

The same old, tired and stupid control layout and no trackpads. How do you even begin to make a PC handheld and not offer any mouse cursor controls? All the Steam Competitors do is up the specs to stupid numbers and appeal to familiarity. It’s both disappointing and something should’ve expected.
