- Comment on Valve apologizes for ruining a Steam game's launch 1 week ago:
The economics of our world are completely controlled by middle-men. This is how much power we have delegated to them. There is no free market, just a series of publisher deals that put producers of value into a casino to decide if they get compensated for their labour.
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 1 week ago:
Under new rules rolling out over the coming months, a small number of users will be required to leave some of their moderator posts so that they aren’t moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.
Good. We could do with a similar rule here on lemmy. I know there’s probably a lack of people to fill all the needed moderator positions, but I’m pretty sick of seeing the same people moderating the majority of communities that I visit.
It becomes especially apparent when someone gets banned from one community and the powermod bans them from every other community that they moderate. It’s rare that someone actually deserves that type of scorched-earth response.

I never met one on reddit who wasn’t just getting off on the power trip.
The ones who don’t, you never meet.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 3 weeks ago:
I spent 1 hour after release trying to fight Steam and then just bought it on GOG with no problem whatsoever.
Playing the linux build on Steam Deck and it runs great.

I’ve picked up dog shits that were less of a mess than this headline.
- Comment on Silksong release incoming 3 weeks ago:
I hope it’s a 3rd person Battle Royale with base building.
- Comment on Buck the Billionaires. Create Your Own Internet Services. 3 weeks ago:
The solution proposed by the author is to host your own fediverse instance on a … wait for it … corporate VPS.
I don’t think it helps to gate-keep self-hosting as being only for local hardware. It’s also about managing your own software stack so you’re not reliant on Big Tech to provide services to you.

We all knew there was something sleazy and wrong about that guy, but now to find out he was friends with Peter Mandelson? That’s really the final nail in the coffin.

- Comment on DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI-generated images in search results | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I just did a couple of test searches and it didn’t work at all. Obvious AI images stayed in the results, and the ones that it removed when I selected “AI: hide” were obvious photos or human artwork.
Hopefully they can improve their detection method and make it actually useful.

- Comment on Why a Y Combinator startup tackling AI agents for Windows gave up and pivoted | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
But in May, the founder announced he was abandoning the tech and pivoting his company to something entirely different: Muscle Mem, a cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeatable tasks.
So a completely normal pivot from something more general to something more specific within the same subject area. This isn’t really newsworthy, and the rest of the article reads like an ad.

Terrible article that doesn’t even speculate about how it’s going to change the way we use the internet.
- Comment on ‘The place is bleached, a dead zone’: how the UK’s most beloved landscapes became biodiversity deserts 2 months ago:
At the root of the issue is land ownership. Most land within national parks is privately owned and, particularly in the uplands, used for grazing by farm animals. In Dartmoor, just 7.5% of land is publicly owned, and conservation is seen as secondary to economic interests.
Across UK upland national parks, overgrazing and moorland burning are driving these areas into poor ecological health, and a heating climate is heaping on the pressure. Conservation bodies and park authorities often have limited funding to monitor and restore ecosystems.
In 2024 the first full assessment of how national parks are supporting nature recovery found that just 6% of park land in England and Wales is being managed effectively for nature.
