This has Metal Slug vibes, I like.

Also the first barrier of picking a server (how it works, the rules of every instance, checking who they federate with) and an app (the will to test multiple apps, learning that to login you have to input the server url manually since most aren’t listed in the apps), to the people who read all the things it’s tedious but doable, for the rest it’s “Which one is the RIGHT choice?” and just stay at the door.

Also servers with poorly written rules don’t help (example: mstdn.mx says porn and politics are forbidden, but in reality they allow them as long as you tag then properly).

These kind of posts don’t help either, because it makes people feel like they are too stupid to join and rather stick to the known services, but omit all the actual process that someone has to go through.

Less text, my dude

Wait, this was supposed to be written from the wife’s perspective

True and it’s basically the same for other Adobe products.
Tried to do some fx using davinci fusion, all the damn tutorials are outdated, too much work trying to figure it out for a shitpost.
It ended with me oppening After Effects, using Copilot and rendering.

Cool, still not worth going through all the learning curve for a shitpost and then not touching it again for months

Seriously, hate that now people call everything a meme, they don’t even try to make it at least funny.

There’s also booty.world but it’s not very active yet

Well shit… guess it’s been abandoned.

I think preemtive defederation/blocking from Threads is the most logical decision for every instance since we are talking about a known hostile company, not something new testing the waters that nobody knows how it will behave, it’s Meta being Meta (even if they are trying to hide it behind the “by Instagram” slogan).

My loved Steam Controller is usually all that I need, sometimes a Switch Pro Controller.

Wait, can we talk about this? Nobody said anything so I tought we were waiting until this server became a target to defederate them or something, I basically have everything from that instance blocked

I’d preffer just a remaster (visuals, controls, sounds but leave the og voices), going for a remake I fear they will mess it up.
Also include The Missadventures of Tron Bonne.

Users are free to download Threads and go lick zucc’s balls if they so desire, instances are just protecting themselves and the responsability that comes with it.

It’s getting tired reading so many zucc apologist, I swear they are bots or accounts created for that purpose

The Cube World dev has posted a couple of news for an upcoming update (basically going back to what the Alpha was, new engine and new things), altough nobody knows when/if it will be released, but it sure took a long time.

Meh, I already had the game since Alpha (way before it got like 1 or 2 updates via the launcher), got the Beta/Steam version upgrade for free, if it gets updated that’s good, if not I don’t lose anything, no need to go all “no updates so game is dead forever” specially now that they are finally showing things for a future update.

Still looking for a worthy replacement (Veloren is cool and all but something is missing that just can’t seem to keep my interest).

It’s not that the current administration “can’t” (altough they have proven time and again that they seem to can’t), it’s they don’t want nor care about it, it’s the final year before elections, it’s the time to steal as much as possible and the president only cares about that and talking shit about his opponents… think something like Trump.

iorale, 10 months ago

Yes and no, most of the free/open software has the problem of being very not-user-friendly (even if it’s only for the first time set-up) and the documentation (even the youtube tutorials) are written in a “you should know all this already” way, which is cool if you do, but if this is the first time you are doing this or if it’s the only time you are gonna use that knowledge then it’s absurd to expected someone to learn it only for one time.

It is normal for someone to complain that the thing that steals all their data or needs a subscription is better because it’s easier to use (install, pay/register and use, done), compared with how different and difficult usually it’s to install and get to work a FOSS option (download this, install these, run command lines, configure all these, now get all these plugins, etc).

If we want bigger numbers, then it should be at least as easy as the thing we want them to stop using, otherwise we are barking at the wrong tree.

I’m not missing anything, OP complained about people not easily ditching closed/centralized software and I gave an answer.
I know devs are doing it as a hobby or with donations, that’s on them and they know who their target will be and how much effort is it worth to do it user-friendly or not or how big of a scope they aim for.

We’re talking about the normal user and why they decide to stick to centralized or move to FOSS and why it’s so hard for them to do it.

They still don’t sell it at my country

Honestly I don’t care about stories, but I hope that encourages my friends to pay attention to it.

There’s Revanced if you use Android, SmartTube for AndroidTV, on pc the best solution is Firefox with UblockOrigin+Sponsorblock (I also use Enhancer for Youtube).
Also saw some mentions about Peertube, I think it’s something like Youtube for the fediverse but I haven’t really checked it.
