I think it's cultural differences. In the west, we abhor pay to win and predatory aspects. But in Korea, China and other countries in that region, players demand it.

So then it comes down to which market region you're targeting. If you're not a NA/EU mobile developer, how do you choose? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Can't keep everyone happy.

I went back to it and am really enjoying it, using my existing characters. The servers they were on are gone, but was easy to find a new one. And after paying my housing upkeep, all my stuff is still there.

I'd stopped playing before Angry Earth was released (and when watermarking was still a thing). Almost all of the issues I had with it at fixed, and some great QoL and story updates.

Still getting used to the increased gear levels, level adjustments in some zones, and such.

Limmy on Lemmy? Nice.

I assume all the bot farms are paying for the privilege.

You're right. I'll be damned. That'll teach me to set-and-forget then not keep up with changes to Firefox and their effects on extensions. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: Ignore my blind confidence. CAD is (mostly) broken in recent FF versions. (See ivn's reply to this post).

Consent-o-Matic with Cookie Auto Delete and Firefox's Multi-Account Container tabs covers it all nicely for me.

Cookie banners get handled, cookies I don't explicitly want to keep automatically disappear when I leave the site/close the tab, and those I do want to keep can be given their own containers to keep them separated.

So, the Internet of Shit is not just a euphemism now. Great...

As with every legal topic on the Internet: depending on your (international) jurisdiction.

Nice. Thanks for sharing that.

As much as I'd like it to be, it doesn't have the network effect/popularity that Reddit does. It covers maybe 70-80% of my Digg+ needs, but there are many topics/subs I want that Lemmy just doesn't have.

"Be the change you want to see" is always there: if a topic/sub doesn't exist, you can always create it yourself. But no good deed goes unpunished, so you're now the owner/moderator...

This makes me think of the Sikh community's charity/giving (can't remember the term) food giving that happens in most towns globally where there a Gurdwara.

There has to be a better way than waves hands everything, really.

I have Netdata running in a container, which has a useful all-in-one-pane view, and it does a good job of auto detecting other containers and the host OS. Its essentially zero config.

It also has alerting capability, which is not zeroconf (configuring it properly is a bit of a chore). ๐Ÿ˜…

They try to push a pro/paid version, but it's subtle and completely optional (a bit like the way Portainer does it).

 

Posted this to AskLemmy (https://lemmy.world/post/17088629), but thought it worth posting here:

I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

  • Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
  • Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Why aren't my preferences being retained between logins?

I suspect the recent update (https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266) explains the latest event, but the questions still stand.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't find mention of it. I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

  1. Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
  2. Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly; haven't measured it) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Isn't this bonkers practice?


Edit: I've just seen https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266 which may explain it. Either way, the questions stand.
