You’re a moron. Piracy is not stealing because nothing is ever taken from the copyright holder, unless you’re going to argue that a theoretical purchase is being stolen. By which logic, deciding not to buy something is stealing.
My main problem is that there just isn’t anything I actually want to engage with on Mastodon. Most of the communities I would engage with simply don’t exist there, or only exist there in minute quantities.
I think the idea is that Threads can pull in a bunch of users to the federated ecosystem using other instance’s content, implement features exclusive to Threads to entice people to move from whatever instance they’re on now to Threads, and then defederate Threads from everything else afterwards and remove ActivityPub compatibility to trap people on Threads and then enshittify the platform for more money.
The problem is that corporations can scale their own propaganda campaigns way better than we can. It’s best to cut the problem off at the source than it is to try and compete with them at their own game.
In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”
I never played much SF5, but he definitely looks sick in SF6. I wasn’t too interested in him based on the concept art that’s been floating around for a while now but he looks a LOT better in motion. Hopefully the same goes for the other DLC characters! I’m particularly excited to see A.K.I.
Somehow I doubt it’s even that. The guy’s just a braindead, incompetent moron. I don’t think the fucker’s even smart enough to realize this is literally the worst possible decision he could’ve made.
It actually already exists. The ReVanced project, which has continued to update YouTube Vanced after it shut down, has also expanded to other apps. I've only used their YouTube and YouTube Music apps, but I can't imagine the experience on their apps would be any worse than reddit's current app, given that it's essentially the same plus their patches to it.
I've been playing it quite a bit. I really, really wish Strive's matchmaking and lobbies worked half as well as SF6's do. It's, quite frankly, ridiculous that fighting games online modes still suck as bad as they do in 2023. At least Strive has good rollback...
It depends on the content & communities I can find here and how well things function here. So far the lack of content I'm interested in has been my main issue with Lemmy, but otherwise it seems like a fine place to be.
While this is good, I can't help but feel that the branding of the decentralised social media ecosystem is hurting the growth a little bit. The -verse suffix, imo, is just too tainted from all the cryptobro metaverse scams and really makes this seem like some crypto scam as opposed to an alternative to the current crumbling social media platforms.
Regardless, I hope this ecosystem does take off, as it does seem useful and interesting.
That's fair. Maybe I'm just chronically online, but it really skeeves me out how eerily similar some of the terms here are to crypto scams. Not saying this is one, obviously- as far as I can tell, there really isn't any monetary incentive to run an instance-, but the language used at the moment can get uncomfortably close, which definitely might push people away.
Please read what I said again. I don't have an issue with the ecosystem, and I said as much in the original post. I have an issue with the branding of the ecosystem and am concerned that it's hampering growth because of its associations with venture capitalists/crypto scams/metaverse scams, etc.
