Good implementations of Denuvo have such a minimal impact on the quality of the game experience that I tend towards optimism when I hear this kind of news. That said, bad implementations of Denuvo cripple the game in a way that previous horrible DRM schemes could only dream of. I'm not planning on playing Payday 3 (I never had any fun with 1 or 2), but I hope that this is the former situation for its fans.

This is great. Love using this again. Thanks!
Honestly, yeah, a big part of why I started using Lemmy is that the Sync developer moved to developing a Lemmy app. I'm still active on Reddit, I'm using both, but as soon as Sync for Lemmy comes out and I can uninstall that absolutely cursed official Reddit app I'll be here WAY more often.
No, of course not. If you're using Lemmy as a "protest" instead of thinking that it's a better platform, it's totally ineffectual and you'll go back to using Reddit sooner or later. Personally, I think that the fediverse is a more compelling idea than the traditional internet, so I'm sticking with Lemmy for a bit in one form or another.
Cool. Great, even. Man, we're fucked.
TÁR is maybe the most recent great movie, and it's absolutely a product of its time. You could tell a story about abusive, manipulative people in the past, but the specific way that her story spirals out of control over the course of the film (and the way that it reflects the culture around her) could only have been told recently. It's really gripping stuff.
Screens, realistically. I know that it's a "soft" addiction and nowhere near as serious as a substance, but going even five minutes without pulling at my phone, using a computer, or watching a TV starts tugging at my brain. That's something you develop as a kid and I don't see myself fixing it unless I totally "detox."
I'm not opposed to this, though I generally think that the move towards awards overcomplicated the site. It was better when it was just Gold and there was a simple tracker to say how many days of server time had been paid for.
That's exciting. The larger these unions get, the easier it'll be for other other workers to feel encouraged to unionize themselves. It seems like this is the biggest one yet, at least in terms of cache - I hope this makes waves.
A new joy of using Lemmy: being able to actually see how many downvotes a comment got. It's been so long since Reddit tossed that feature that I forgot how much I missed it.
It definitely took me a bit to wrap my head around the fediverse, but the presence of a "main" site (in this case, Lemmy.world, or in Mastodon's Mastodon.social) has made it pretty easy for me. I hate that crypto nerds took "web3.0" because I think, in most ways, the true inter-operability of social networks is the next "web2.0"-tier step that the internet can take.
I really appreciate how you structured these rules. Simple enough to remember, sensible enough to keep the conversation clean. Moderator discretion can be frustrating, but it's a lot better than finding out that your post got deleted because it didn't fit some arcane law that was hidden away on a sixth-layer wiki page.
