Hard for it to be otherwise, considering it affects almost everything.
I'd rather focus on publicly traded companies as the main root of evil before dealing with capitalism itself. Private companies tend to not be so destructive - many are fine staying where they are, instead of growing infinitely like cancer, eating everything around them.
Because they know it will sell.
They don't need to make a good Star Wars movie because they don't need to onboard new fans. They make them only to squeeze out existing fans who will pay regardless of quality.
The new Matrix movie was actually a masterpiece. The Wachowski's didn't want to revive the franchise since they considered it complete - but the studio insisted that if they didn't make it, the studio would get it done itself. So they accepted the offer, and made a movie so bad that it killed any attempts at reviving the franchise for good. The Matrix is now dead, and it will stay that way (hopefully).
I guess Star Wars is too strong to kill even with multiple shit movies.
Besides that, for how long can you squeeze the same universe? I'd rather have something new.
What beehaw did is very detrimental to the health of the fediverse, especially in the most crucial month.
I don't blame them though. They are running a really specific community with it's own culture and it ended up getting disrupted and diluted by the influx of new users.
In a month everything will calm down and I hope they refederate again.
Hmm. Does the federation protocol only send information directly between servers, by that I mean that when something happens on A, does it send it to all other federated servers by itself?
If you could just proxy messages through other servers it would be an improvement. Essentially every instance would also be a hub. If you're an instance A, connected to B and C, when B send you something you pass it onto C, instead of having C communicate with B directly.
In order to prevent spam you'd need whitelisting for the instances which you will act as a proxy for, and messages will have to be signed. Also, some protocol to discover the topology surrounding your server would be neat for optimizing delivery.
Pulling this out of my ass, but I think the problem might be in Lemmy using websockets.
I feel like supporting 1500 simultaneous users making a request every 10-20 seconds is easier than keeping 1500 websockets alive.
Irregardless, Lemmy does feel very snappy compared to other websites I've had the displeasure of using. Main problem is low robustness in the RPC layer.
I just avoid the news. Sometimes it just "appears", like hearing a radio somewhere, then I'll listen to a little bit. Sometimes it's quite surreal once you've been out of the loop long enough.
If anything important happens I have a friend who's politically active and in the loop, he'll tell me. Second-hand news is the best.
Always skip the accepted answer and use the second or third one.
I'm the weird guy who loves Water Hazard. Easily my favourite part of the game. Run the combine over with an airboat, break the scaffolds they are standing on, look at the goofy ragdolls. And I'm a bitch for sunsets.
"Follow Freeman" is the worst imo. I remember getting horribly lost there when I played HL2 as a kid. Same issue with Ravenholm - even when I play it now, but the vibe carries it.
Reddit doesn’t pay them anything, doesn’t even offer premium at a discount or anything.
But it offers them a tiny bit of power, via being a internet janitor. I'm certain that there's a decent amount of people who will jump at the opportunity to become a moderator of a large subreddit. They are obviously the worst people to wield such power - just like anyone in the real world who seeks power is least likely to use it for good.
Moderation will be low quality, but it will remove spam. As long as the content mill keeps running all is fine. Users of the tiktokified official Reddit app won't even notice a thing.
Too bad all the videos seem to have been purged.
That map looks so good. To bad it has no place in a competitive game considering the noisiness.
