The strength of life to face oneself has been made manifest. The persona Carighan has appeared.
Yeah but again, not a copyright lawsuit.
That’s genuinely not as simple as you think it is. You realize there was a time before modern patent law, yes?
There’s already a fan-made fix to add things such as FoV and ultrawide and framegen support.
Ah yeah, lots of pseudo-medicine falls into it.
Of course water has memory.
Of couse physically abusing your kid is healthy for it.
Of course this quartz will help you.
And then you actually strike gold with this shit and years later a well-known actress is selling candles that smell like her minge. Unbelievable.
Ah yes of course. Both Meta and Bluesky have far outrun any federated-short-blogging effort of the Fediverse, and as a result companies will rather want to monetize those. But this is also the paradoxical situation of people in here who both want “the Fediverse to succeed” and “keep corporate interests out of the Fediverse”: Either won’t happen.
Right now it looks more like this’ll remain a hyper-specialized place for specific discussions, Mastodon more so. You can go there for false dichotomies in regards to browser development feedback for example, or for dejected Youtube actual-content-creators getting yelled at for engaging with their community.
But it seems it’ll stay at that. However, this also keeps any monetary interest away from it, so that’s good. Of course, should this ever change and the Fediverse grows more welcoming and that works and it grows bigger, of course the moment users move in (in numbers), advertisers, astroturfers and all will move in with them. That’s just a given.
And partially why I hate this “Just block’em!”-approach to Threads: It assumes the stick-your-fingers-into-your-ears-and-ignore-the-issue approach would ever be an actual solution to any problem. And then when you run into an issue you cannot avoid that way, you have fuck all experience doing something actionable about it, as you’ve never tried before.
You raise an interesting point. With web 2.0, we did the equivalent of all the fediverse stuff blocking meta. And look where that got us. Maybe it’s time for a different approach.
You realize the second part would also happen if the Fediverse “takes off”, yes? Then naturally companies would come in and trivially take things over as there’s money to be made.
It’s a natural end state until governments can be made to curb corporate freedom.
It’s 2024, and we still assign significance to streamers and stream viewers. No wonder the world is going to shit as fast as it is…
Ah sad, it’s just a teaser. Looks nice, but was hoping there’d be an actual introduction.
Damn their video introduction gives me 90s and early 2000s vibes. This is like those early 3D-rendered VR experiences on television.
Fascinating. Would have never guessed this was worth fifty million.
Yeah but why would you want to finish a game as a dev nowadays? You get paid for your early beta releases (= “early access”), not for finishing it from there.
Uh… what do you think we do when a client doesn’t pay us for a while? We yank their access. That’s how services work, you get a few warnings that you really need to pay or you’ll lose access and then, well, you lose access.
“Quiet quitting” 😂
Because yeah, you only do the job they pay you for, how dare you!
24 years ago, I decided that instead of going into video game development like I had always dreamt of in school, I’ll go into business software because at the time there was only one nearby game studio (Blue Byte), they weren’t looking to hire in the next few years and I wasn’t really willing to move very far at the time.
Looking back, that decision was one of the best branching-path decisions I’ve ever made in my life.
Thanks, Blue Byte! Indirectly you got me an amazing job! 🥂
SLAMMED!
Love how terrible writing has become. 😂

Sure, but how do you solve the problems that patents in turn solved (and brought new problems with them of course)? That as kinda my point, if we just ban patents we can just look back to know which problems we need to solve in another way.
