It’s about forcing everyone to switch

You can still play CS 1.6, you don’t even need clouds for that one. You can play CS source. In this case they wanted to carry the momentum live the good little service game that they are. Technical reasons are superficial smokescreens.

They know every time they made a release some people didn’t want to switch and stayed behind.

Ah, yes, the asshle known as consumer choice. Can’t have that. Good guy Valve.

Seriously, why anything else, it is the best seal and it is the fastest way. As long as you’re not going to travel with your bread, you don’t need an attach.

That door is already wide open.

There is always going to be a content discovery algorithm or what you will not be able to find anything.

The question is, do you want to be able to control that algorithm or do you want to leave it up to instance owners ?

We need people to sort the good stuff and the bad stuff. Computers are still bad at it when they don’t take human"a preferences into account.

Objective sorting is useless. It’s essential, to be able to sort chronological and alphabetical, but it’s a special use case, unless you’re the story of person who read the dictionary for fun.

I think individual users being able to subscribe to moderation and curation in the form of a selection and sorting filter running inside the client of the user, would be a great improvement to every other social media out there.

Let the user subscribe to the comment deleters that they like, and the upvotes that agree with their taste. Let them play with the selection weights of each subscribtion filter, right in the user interface, not hidden in a backend database.

I should be able to go to /c/books on any server and see all /c/book from all servers. Content discovery and curation/moderation filters are then applied in top of the raw feed as subscriptions chosen by the user with community suggested defaults chosen out of the choices from high reputation users’s subscription.

In practice there’s a big one and unless there’s a big schism that fragments the community, the big community will suck the air out for any smaller community in any topic.

Worse if it actually worked as intended and each tiny community stayed fragmented forever and em never amounted to anything.

I question if it is by design to prevent the formation of true, fediverse wide, decentralized but coalesced community.

If it is by accident, then it is a huge missed opportunity.

But I don’t think it’s by accident. The protagonist of Lemmy is the instance owner and the moderator, not the user. So the important part of the network is the instance fiefdom, not the whole network. Instances should just be another mirror of the whole, instead of tiny dictatorships.

Disable windows update, windows update and Microsoft store updates

Now, we have centralized communities on privately held domains names. How is that supposed to not go exactly like digg/Reddit all over again, if it ever becomes popular ?

TOS is oppression too

You are one of the oppressors

That control needs to be more granular than on/off.

Because the rest of humanity is still plugged in to the matrix and bots are the only way we can hear them and discuss where they’re taking about

I’m surprised they made it this long. Never bought into their cutesy signaling.

But also, that place felt oppressive with a smiling face.

It seems obvious the government is siding with the owners.

Why are these posts specifically aimed at car company CEOs?

Are they begging for money in Congress again ?

Is this an anticar thing ?

Are they in union négociations ?

Don’t be gross, use CSV files

You know, that sounds like a convenient bullshit story by statists and other mobster to justify their never ending violence. Also, Britain weaponizing drugs, big cringe. You guys deserve thermonuclear armageddon so bad.

How do I upload this bin file to my neuralink firmware ? DD?

I really want a neural pointing device, but not by this dork.

Simple, under this system the more desperate folks undercut him. They don’t see the rules of the game are what is causing that. They couldn’t imagine a system under other rules, except for Stalinist nightmares. So crushing the people who undermine them is the only option they can imagine (and have been lead to believe by the preachers of hate)

Could this method be used to reduce illegal homelessness too ?
