- Comment on Sims 4 devs assemble team to focus on fixing bugs and upping performance, updates to now land every two months 6 months ago:
Has the game always been very buggy, or did it just decline in quality in recent days?
- Comment on Why does deleting a post not actually delete it? 6 months ago:
If you click “source” on a deleted comment, you can see what was written before it was deleted on the Mlmym interface.
Sounds like they’re caching the comments, and not honoring the deletion request by removing the comment from their cache.
- Comment on Why does deleting a post not actually delete it? 6 months ago:
Others don’t see the text of the comment though, it just says comment is deleted.
To answer your question, basically for Federation reasons (if I had to guess).
Its the same way with when you block someone, you’re not blocking them from the seeing you, you’re blocking yourself from seeing them. They can still respond to your comments and you wouldn’t know they had.

This is it. Trump didn’t give a flying shit at all if anything he did was legal, he just went for it, and it worked.
The law is slow, but powerful.

I did, but you never really answer the question, are you financially prepared and willing to actually defend your license in court?
I did, both in the link that I originally gave you, as well as replying to your comment directly at the top.
And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”
That’s a problem with your mobile client, it’s not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly, per Lemmy’s help page on formatting comments. Also discussed in that original link I gave you.
- Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term? 7 months ago:
Are you prepared to shell out potentially 10’s of thousands of dollars to actually defend your license? That’s my biggest question in this, because if not it really is a waste of time and effort.
Well I meant for you to also go to the top of that conversation to read everything that’s been discussed, including my answer to the question you just asked.
Also, we’re really derailing the topic of the post.

Best not to derail this topic. It’s been discussed to death already.

but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough
You’re way underestimating and underemphasizing Obamacare, and the impact it took to get it into law.
Obamacare was a huge get for the Democrats, and while it wasn’t Medicare for all that we all wanted, especially with the Republicans fighting tooth and nail to deny him, that was a huge win.
It took a lot of effort in time to get Obamacare, which took all the oxygen out of the room for doing other things.

FYI I’ve found that if you download a text expander it allows you to make shortcuts for these kinds of texts making it much easier to add automatically.
Nice! Yeah I used my phone’s text feature to send myself a text one time, and then just long-press on the text to copy the message and long-press in the Lemmy editor to paste the text.
My phone actually has a copy and paste memory feature of some sort, but i only see it when I copy, I don’t see anything when I try to paste (only the last thing in the buffer that was last copied is pasted).
- Comment on EA are thinking about inserting adverts into games - but don’t worry, it’ll be “very thoughtful” 7 months ago:
Didn’t we talk about this last week?
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Fellow gamers, now is the time to push back on this crap. If you don’t do it now, you’ll live with this forever. They tried doing this in past generations as well, and failed.
Spread the word, tell others. Be vocal! Advocate for this not happening.
And if someone tells you that this isn’t preventable, tell them not to be cynical. Remind them of the other positive changes we were able to have happen recently in gaming, and that in the past when they tried this, the pushback was successful in keeping the gaming companies from doing so.
And remember, some of those you would try to convince are probably astroturfers/bots.
- Comment on Microsoft exec calls for "smaller", "prestige" games the day after closing Hi-Fi Rush studio Tango 7 months ago:
From the article…
The Verge claims that Tango were in the process of pitching Hi-Fi Rush 2 before they were canned. The studio deserved better.
Wow, that really sucks. Wonder what the hell’s going on over there with Microsoft these days.
- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 7 months ago:
As an individual, for comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.
My content is usually more than a sentence or two.
Also, it puts a stake in the ground for any future enforcement done by others than myself if laws change.
Its a low-hanging-fruit way of protecting my content. If it works, great, and if it doesn’t, then I’ll vote for someone else for Congress the next time.
I’ve wasted more time replying on this single conversation/post than I have copy/pasting the link in all of my comments so far.
- Comment on What is Reddit doing 7 months ago:
Don’t think of it as them being unprofessional, think of it as them having a safety valve to relieve the pressure of some people wanting to leave Reddit for Lemmy or elsewhere, because of their bs.
Someday, when they’re confident enough that they have customer retention locked in, that methodology of bypassing will be removed.

What that comic tells me is that everyone loves standards, as long as they’re the ones controlling the standard.
- Comment on Astounding absurdity 7 months ago:
A lot of people misunderstand economic systems by anthropomorphizing (it means to give them human characteristics) them, giving them the illusion of thought or feeling.
Just in case that was directed at me, versus part of your overall opining, I do not.
It’s an economic and social system, ‘Bartering 2.0’, and not a mechanical or otherwise thing.
Good opinion piece over all though.
- Comment on Steam / Steam Deck stable client update released fixing lots of bugs 7 months ago:
From the articles…
This bundles up all the changes from many multiple Beta releases and there’s a lot to go over.
Also from the article…
One of the interesting tweaks is that Valve adjusted the CSS to “reduce feature leaks”, I guess they’re growing a little tired of certain people scraping it constantly to see what they’re working on.
I kind of feel bad about this one. I like to have as much openness and eyes viewing as possible.

One of the worst things about Capitalism is that many a time it’s cheaper to do the wrong thing, than the right thing. It promotes doing the wrong thing.

You’re welcome.
- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 7 months ago:
Also fingerprint unlock missing would probably be a big no-no for most people even in budget class.
Why I would agree with that in the past, these days I would disagree.
People are not happy about having to do 2FA and such to login (people tend to gravitate towards simplicity), so they are looking for that same feature that they have by default on their phone that helps them simplify the login process, on their computers, moreso now.
- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 7 months ago:
PC Hardware makers/sellers think about saving every last penny they can, to improve and maintain their profit margins.
Cell phone makers/sellers don’t have that same requirement as much, as cell phones can be sold or be subsidized for with higher profit margins, so they can feel more relaxed with including more features.
Finally, it may just come down to cell phone OS companies Google and Apple pressuring cell phone makers to include that hardware, where there is no equivalent organizations for PC Hardware makers.

He’s right guys. Get off your *sses and pitch a tent in the grassy area of your local US university. Show Sony you’re not going to put up with this!
/s
That’s sarcasm doesn’t help solve anything.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 community manager says internal discussions are ongoing regarding mandatory PSN account link 7 months ago:
The last screenshot is the most important one to pay attention to.
(Apologizing in advance, a bit of a rant incoming…)
People can’t just bitch about it on an online forum and then do nothing after that, that doesn’t solve anything. You have to be proactive, you have to get off your ass, if you truly want change and to be treated respectfully as a customer. Otherwise, you get what you deserve.
They know the standard M.O. of a gamer, its to complain but then do nothing, and they take advantage of that.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 7 months ago:
Juno: New Origins. It is currently on sale on Steam. It’s also developed by like, 8 people or something like that. It’s a ridiculously small team.
Thank you! I’ll be sure to check it out.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 7 months ago:
But anyways, Juno exists. It has the same spirit of accurate spaceship design and flight simulation, even if the tone is distinctly different.
Would you happen to have a link for that? My Google-Fu is wanting in trying to find more information about it.
