This implies that bad things are comparable. They aren’t, they’re all bad in their own way.

Disgusting.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 day ago:
If they allowed us to give to firefox directly, maybe. Personally we think it is likely that mozilla badly needs to become a worker owned co-op so that CEOs stop taking so much.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 day ago:
Yeah, they really should have allowed us to give to firefox directly a long time ago. Why they don’t is beyond me considering they do with thunderbird.
- Comment on Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive 1 day ago:
Stop acting like a tech start-up and become a worker owned co-op instead.
Allow people to give to firefox directly, like they do with thunderbird.

Ah, I see my decision to delete my account and stop playing is still justified. Thank you for the information and the answer.

Did they ever apologise properly for what they did to that player that said free Hong Kong and allow him to play again or have we all just forgotten that?

The steam discussion forums shouldn’t exist. Steam doesn’t want to moderate them and neither do the developers. Absolutely garbage feature.

Oh, prose does? Yikes.
- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 1 week ago:
For an average user how good is calling on XMPP and Matrix on any given server? We’ve only seen matrix.org have successful calling and we’ve never had success with XMPP calling nor joining groups on it. No idea what prose is.
- Comment on When the world connected on Skype 1 week ago:
Sad that it is being replaced by the much worse Teams and there isn’t much to replace it in the open source world except for Signal, Threema, Wire and maybe Jitsi meet.

Yeah. I never really got into pokémon as I didn’t like the idea of capturing creatures and forcing them to fight, but Cassette Beasts doesn’t have that problem. Oh yeah, good point about them being doubles. I do like the aesthetic/graphics and that it’s avaliable on every platform, unlike pokémon.

Cassette beasts and soon Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, Tape 2
- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 3 weeks ago:
We think Minds tried something like this (though it might be different tiers) and it didn’t exactly go well, forcing users to pay one way or the other always leads to economic pressures to keep users around, even if they are being toxic at least from what we have observed.
- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 3 weeks ago:
clashing with their users’ need to stay isolated from users who are toxic to them.
Sadly Lemmy does not solve this problem as the creators think like a corporation or do not want to be fully cut off from other users and thus do not have proper blocking (which is something built into ActivityPub mind you), for now it is only one way blocking which does not solve being isolated from toxic users as it still allows for some toxic behaviour etc.
If Lemmy ever gets that feature it would actually prove that it is dedicated to user safety, but a lot of people in the open source social media world seem to be ‘concerned’ with not being able to see everything due to entitlement, as others unrelated to Lemmy also are lacking the same or similar features.
- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 3 weeks ago:
Maybe, but social problems cannot entirely be solved with technology.
- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I meant more long term but didn’t express that fully. So you are correct.
- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 3 weeks ago:
Corporations cannot create nontoxic social media, the incentives will always be there to make it toxic.
The only way to do it is something like mastodon where actual people run it and thus can deal with people who are being toxic either by blocking etc because the fear of losing money, or the likelihood of the entire site/platform disappearing etc just isn’t there (obvioiusly individuals sites go down sometimes but the entire network is unlikely to disappear).
- Comment on Developer of 'non-consensual sex' game withdraws it from Steam after bans in the UK, Canada, and Australia 3 weeks ago:
I can do them, but honestly I would prefer to have played through many without such a mainstay of games. It just often gets in the way of what I am really there for, the story.
I think though killing and rape are not exactly the same, women are historically treated very poorly in game spaces, both in games and outside of them, this kind of thing just adds to it and honestly makes me question what the developers are really like.
As someone else said “check whether there are women in the developer’s basement”
- Comment on Developer of 'non-consensual sex' game withdraws it from Steam after bans in the UK, Canada, and Australia 3 weeks ago:
Good. Honestly most games in the sex space are pretty bad for both consent and treating the characters like actual people.
The dialogue is pretty unrealistic too.
The only good one we have come across so far is Cute Demon Crashers. It is heavily about consent and the writing isn’t that bad either. True, it’s not going to be ‘realistic’ in terms of character models nor have fully fleshed out sex scenes but since most in that genre seem to be terrible in general perhaps that is a good thing.
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, really more open source products need to move to the fediverse through forgejo which would make them a lot harder to take down ioo.
Tired of GitHub being the Defacto despite its ties to ICE, stealing open source code through copilot, not allowing contributions from certain countries and now this.
When will developers learn? Github is not on their side.
- Comment on BDS calls for boycott of Microsoft and Xbox gaming products over alleged Israeli military connections 4 weeks ago:
Will this finally mean developers stop using github? We can only hope.
