While I was asleep, apparently the site was hacked. Luckily, (big) part of the lemmy.world team is in US, and some early birds in EU also helped mitigate this....
Gog is doing much better than in 2022. They are making 1.2M dollars in profit. Which is pretty good for such a platform personally. I really like the ideals of GOG, but haven't really used the platform a whole lot....
Can you explain what use cases make the DRM issue so important to you? For me I get stuff on sale on steam all the time and constantly churn thru games. I don't really care about the DRM as long as I got to play the game and get my money's worth.
IMO every game on first launch should solicit these options:
resolution
vsync
subtitles
brightness
colorblind/accessibility options
Most times going into settings are to change one of those options, so why not quickly let the player set them all at once on the get-go? There's a 99% chance at least one of those options will need to change for the player/machine needs.
I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits....
With a lot of talk around new apps in development & coming on stream, something I’ve been happy to see, & commented on, as choice is always a good thing… I thought I’d just voice my appreciation for the Jerboa team, love this App, such nice Ui & UX, I find it very easy to use, all the view options, post layouts, especially...
As a non kbiner I notice it and Lemmy get coupled together a lot in discussions about the fediverse applications. What is the overlap there ? And what are the differences between the two platforms?
I was wondering how the pre-reddit lemmy members feel about the influx of ex-reddit. Have things got worst or better? Is there any lemmy etiquette that we are missing?
I have a pet peeve around people saying "this." When they agree with someone. Idk why... I was hoping I wouldn't see that here but unfortunately it's cropping up.
My concern is that and a bunch of other reddit-isms flood the site. I don't mind redditors coming here but I hope the site can still have its own identity.
There are a few others:
"at least the is ok" on videos where someone gets hurt
"no shoes therefore dead"
"some ninja is cutting onions"
"sir this is a Wendy's"
Etc.
I mean this reddit post complaining about annoying phrases came out 9 years ago. 9 YEARS. And since then I continue to see so many of those and others.
Lemmy.world (and some others) were hacked

Reddit is buyng 5 star reviews. (imgur.com)
I'm sitting at a bus shelter and the old woman sitting next to me just farted. I couldn't hear it and I can't smell it, but she sort of leaned over and I felt the vibration through the bench.
It was a weird sensation to feel my bum rumble in resonance with hers. A bit unpleasant, a bit funny, and I just wanted to share.

Majority of gamers play with subtitles turned on (gearsrealm.com)
For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on.
