GTA2 and then GTA3. The open world of GTA2 seemed so big, and you could do all kind of random crazy stuff. GTA3 then was the same thing but in 3D!

Also another favourite was Prehistorik Man for the SNES. Was just a neat platformer that wasn’t just the “default” Super Mario.

Exactly. Why would facebook even care about the existing, tiny, fediverse? They are probably doing this because the infrastructure maybe makes sense somehow for geographic reasons to save on server costs.

I still don’t see how things will exactly go bad for the existing instances by communicating with Meta instances.
The arguments in this article are “They won’t moderate” and “Meta is evil”. One is speculative, and one is biased… not convincing arguments to a neutral judge.

The drawback I see is that Meta communities will just be bigger and suck people out of the “nice” fediverse. But not federating with Meta won’t change anything about it. If anything it causes harm because existing communities can’t profit from the new Meta users joining.

I mean if you watch the movie in a cinema that might make sense… But at home with regular TV speakers it’s gonna be awful.

PHP with a good Framework, heck yeah. Old-School PHP, oh god no!

So this is a quick way to ruin the fediverse: Create a The_Donald community on the big instances.

A billion is nothing on the scale of points 5 and 6 though…

All those free services I tried, always produce garbaggio results. Where is the actual good stuff?

One trivial way would be to just transfer your subscriptions, onto a new account.

It can’t easily be removed since it needs to send out that information into the federated network. At best the function to quickly see that can be removed from the GUI.

This. I miss the list of things I’m subscribed to that reminds me to check in on some of those communities from time to time.

To throw some extra spice in this: What happens if the player decides to chose randomly?

Well the original Lemmy instances where filled with Tankies… So it needs a bit to dilute down the crazy with new people.

That doesn’t happen at that pressure. If something is wrong it just gets completely squished in milliseconds.

Basically imagine a super strong pressure washer, but the water is not just a very thin jet, but instead everything around you.

Normal users don’t want to spend time to customize! The site should just provide a few reasonable, good-looking options by default…

People aren’t like “oh this looks bad, I’m gonna make it look nice”, they are more like “Oh this looks bad, so it must be a bad site, I’d better leave”.

They are kinda right though. An appealing design is important for many people. (Except for some reason people involved in opensource and linux stuff… fite me!)

Also a nicer design doesn’t mean that it will be cluttered. You’re just creating a strawman there.

Exactly! The answer the kid gave is the “correct” one because it shows a proper reasoning about fractions. While the teachers logic assumes that fractions are some kind of absolute value of measure???

Und öffis werden nicht blockiert? Und wie ist es keine Nötigung wenn ich jemanden dazu nötige mehr Zeit für den Arbeitsweg einzuplanen?

To quote a wise man:

Go fuck yourself, Tankie.

I see potential in a site that offers an alternative algorithm, or curated list of channels, but still links to youtube for the streaming itself. The content that Youtube shows me has gotten quite bad lately… and the search doesn’t even work properly.
