Anything for that minimum wage huh? Pathetic

I mean that’s one of the MANY reasons shop staff are told not to interfere with shoplifters

The opinion of what is and isnt “subjective” is up for a lot of debate even if you dont personally have a major stake in a videogame’s marketing campaign (such as the authors and enforcers of these contracts).

So instead of one dumb guy founding Tesla and running it into the ground, TWO dumb guys gave everything over to another dumb guy to run it into the ground. Masterful gambit !
- Comment on Ah, Yes! AI Will Surely Save Us All! 6 months ago:
AI isn’t on track to displace millions of jobs. Most of the automation we’re seeing was already possible with existing technology but AI is being slapped on as a buzzword to sell it to the press/executives.
The trend is going the way of NFTs/Blockchain where the revolutionary “everything is going to be changed” theatrical rhetoric meets reality, where it might complement existing technologies but otherwise isn’t that useful on its own.
In programming, we went from “AI will replace everyone!!!” to “AI is a complementary tool for programmers but requires too much handholding to completely replace a trained and educated software engineer when maintaining and expanding software systems”.

Fair enough, the federation of platforms like lemmy is a good protection against legal trolls for sure.

try !privacy@lemmy.ml as I’m not 100% on this stuff
but basically:
some third party hosts let you sign up anonymously with an anonymous email etc.
Only ever connect to the server host via VPN
Get a domain with anonymous WHOIS protection
Stick it all behind a reverse proxy
Technically Nintendo or whoever could demand your proxy/host to stop doing business with your account, but they won’t have enough personal info to go beyond that and you can just rehost it under new info.

The threads/forum feature on discord is just awful. Topics get buried and I think the general ethos of discord encourages people to just spam in the chat channels rather than wait in a forum for help.

I mean using matrix or any chat service is giving your data to someone else. What’s the distrust with revolt?
Looking at their git repos it seems pretty above board: multiple open source clients by community members, APGL license, docker images and backend repo all pretty accessible in one place.
No hate on Matrix of course, but theres a few people who seem to have the ick for Revolt and I wonder if Ive missed something.

I’m still pretty solid with my Yuzu install so I’ve no need to move to Ryujinx for now, but assuming they avoid Ninty’s legal team I’ll likely pick up Ryujinx when I need a fresh steamOS install and/or Ryujinx surpasses Yuzu’s compatibility in a game I wanna play
- Comment on Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well 7 months ago:
I guess if you like matrix thats cool, but I did just do a quick google and it looks like their clients and server backend are all open source (AGPL-3) and self-hostable so I wouldn’t say there’s much to distrust.

googled Sudachi, and its GPL 3 but:
- Contributions aren’t allowed
- Hosted on github (might be an issue tracker instead of the live repo tho)
- Claims not to paywall features, before listing a bunch of features behind a paywall.
yeah that’s gonna go real swell for them

- Comment on What a feeling that was 8 months ago:
I mean you DID get updates, just hidden in different print runs/regional releases of games.
Its why speedrunners prefer a lot of japanese releases of earlier titles; Because back when Japan was the center of videogame culture, they’d get the first release of most games which often meant the buggiest version.

I’ve seen a few projects like filecoin that encourage people contributing to a decentralised service through a crypto currency since it represents very little startup costs (you dont have to actually have any fiat or crypto to start a cryptocurrency) and gives users an incentive to join your project.
The responses to me are right, though. Steam already has ways to pay users for their contribution without using a cryptocurrency. It’s not something I’m usually a fan of but I thought it was an interesting idea nonetheless

if one day it came out that node_modules were invented by western digital to sell more hard drives i wouldnt be surprised in the slightest

Not to be a crypto bro but this is the kind of thing that cryptocurrency could be really good for. I mean that or just credit for games because maybe giving people an easier way to money launder on steam isnt a good idea
