Suppose if this is the way youtube wants to go it's gonna be on me to clean up their mess.

Why yes, and YT has every right to boot me off their platform if they so wish. I wouldn't hold my breath, but it's technically a possibility :blobfox:

Funny how NFTs and web3 related products seem to exclusively fall into 3 categories.

  1. Reinventing the display of JPEGs
  2. Reinventing videogame micro-transactions (game is optional extra)
  3. Virtual real estate, with functionality to be added soon™

My charitable interpretation of schools is daycare for kids with any actual education as a happy side benefit, but my less than charitable interpretation of schools is part-time jail for kids with the happy side benefit of state indoctrination and any actual education as a distant third thing that I guess also sometimes happens there

How the pandemic has been handled in schools (or more like the lack thereof) has not improved my reading of schooling as an institution

robin,
@robin@uwu.social avatar

@eniko
As a victim of bullying the state indoctrination part really hits home, had to repair the damage that over half a decade of harassment and neglect had on me myself and it took years to stop blaming myself for the injuries inflicted on me under the care of the state. Whenever I do interact with the state the effect, and perhaps even the intention is to silence people through the cheapest means possible and school set that tone by trying to placate both the victims and abusers and sweep the incidents under the rug..

Oi oi, bet there must be some IRC peeps here. Y'all got any recommendations on networks to start out on and any pitfalls I should be aware of as a new user? Mostly looking for a friendly enough general chat.

robin,
@robin@uwu.social avatar

@juliank Probably weird because I'm kind of in a "twitter migration" situation. Getting ever sicker of discord so I thought I better branch out and see what alternatives are out there, even if it does mean a change in attitude and expectations. Mostly I just want somewhere to set up shop so that if shit hits the fan I have more than email to fall back on, if I find people to chatter with that's definitely a bonus.

Right. There's been a lot of talk about and it's place here on the fediverse of late.
Whether you're blind, deaf or sighted, I'd be curious to not only have you fill out the relevant choice, but feel free to respond to this with more detail if you like.
Do you make use of, benefit from or even find alt-text useful, whether for images or audio?

robin,
@robin@uwu.social avatar

@FreakyFwoof
Not often it happens but sometimes due to internet speeds or wonky federation images don't load right and having alt text then helps to understand context. As for audio I rarely browse fedi with sound on so having text to give the context that audio otherwise would is also a big plus

Wow, it seems like politicians are getting on my nerves again. Here in Germany, we have this amazing "Deutschland Ticket" that allows you to travel affordably by public transportation throughout the country. It costs around 50 Euros. Now, these corpo-friendly politicians are whining that it's too cheap and should be more expensive.

Yeah, right, you asshats! They'd rather keep subsidizing damn cars instead of promoting public transportation.

robin,
@robin@uwu.social avatar

@revengeday
All too easy for some to forget public transport is a service, not a business. You wouldn't whinge about the fire department being "too cheap" and look for ways to charge people for every emergency call.

    I want two (4?) things for Switch.

    1. Xenoblade Chronicles X so we can have the whole series in one console and I can keep playing X well after my Wii U has died (which it currently is)

    2. Fatal Frame Original Trilogy for Switch. Gimmie 1-3 which aren't (iirc) available anywhere currently. Toss them on Switch so the whole series can not only be available for everyone, but I can play through my fav horror series on repeat between Xenoblade outings.

    Actually... Yeah. Just looked it up. Doesn't look like Fatal Frame 1-3 are available anywhere. Lame.

    Brexit was such a major self-own. They thought they were gatekeeping “low-skilled” workers (which is stupid, because they need them). But also the UK is currently losing “high-skilled” workers to places like the US where the pay is better. Previously, “high-skilled” workers from the EU would in turn relocate to UK for higher pay. But now that they’ve replaced free movement with a lengthy visa process, a lot will just relocate to other EU countries that still have free movement, or the US where they can make far more. They really swapped ease of access with trying to compete for visa applicants with countries like US/AU/NZ, which are infinitely more appealing.

    @malwaretech
    From a commerce aspect it's quite damning as well, from what I've heard it's been a headache for both UK consumers and sellers. Speaking as a EU citizen .uk and the £ in my mind has become as unfavoured as US imports and shopping around just after brexit there were stores that had like 120 EUR or something limits on orders to the UK due to some shipping/VAT issue I don't quite remember.
    In the end though this doesn't look like a hole they'll easily dig themselves out from, whether it be domestically or internationally.

    I was relatively happy with Windows showing different lock screen images of places, countries, nature etc, but all I see how is Starfield images and I feel that is a bit too intrusive. I hope this doesn't become a trend for their own games because I do like the feature overall.

    Interesting to see it's not only me seeing an increase in ads, for me tho it's MLB the show or whatever coming up as a notification from "suggested". I get the feeling it's pushed based on region or something because I have no interest in sports games apart from racing, much less yearly released ones.

    At the risk of… internet wrath? …I don’t understand the situation with Unity. I’m very new to the program, but I really like it and I’m not sure what the issue is with them deciding to charge a fee for it… although I do understand that this effects essentially only indie developers, which of course, sucks, and is a good way to alienate them (clearly).

    Please educate me, preferably with more reasons than “I don’t want to give them my money” 😬 thanks and please be kind— I’m really not trying to troll or be a jerk, I just honestly don’t get it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Man, I hate this mindset. The game in question is DOOM. THE DOOM!

    I hate the mindset F2P and stuff has cultivated in people that nothing should ever cost money (then they spend $200 trying to get a special hat)

    robin,
    @robin@uwu.social avatar

    @SirTapTap
    Got a few games close to that age I'd pay 15 bucks for to get an executable that'd just run. Not to mention how exhausting a lot of the triple A space has gotten due to the F2P model being applied in 70+ dollar games. Funnily enough the industry is making a good argument for paying more for classic games since you can pay 100+ for modern titles and still don't own it.
