Many people have purposefully moved away from Big Tech platforms, often because they cause them harm. Who are you to judge their defederation - which is a core feature of the Fediverse btw - as laughable? Every instance is free to decide their own policies, that’s the whole point.

I’m afraid it’s mostly that last one.

Watch people flock to yet another corporate social media honeypot instead of going for something less dystopian.

This won’t do, they don’t have a pun or funny reference in their URL!

Really goes for almost everything. I don’t want my machines and appliances to be ‘smart’ and ‘connected’. I just want them to do the thing I use them for, that’s it.

It’s main purpose is to make some die-hards angry, I think.

Are those still playable? Loved those, great vibe!

No of course not everyone or every organisation has the means for that. But those that have should, and others should fan out over different instances: local or regional ones, or thematic ones, instead of congregating on the same three instances because it’s ‘the main one’.

Seems like the right approach to start their own server, instead of making accounts on some of the flagship instances, which only perpetuates the centralisation dogma.

Played Dredge on the Steam Deck, which was a nice, relaxing experience.

Besides that I’ve been playing Blood: Fresh Supply on my beefy gaming pc. Great fun, much glee when blowing up hordes of cultists.

I’m pretty sure that Hamburg isn’t such an area, and that SUV’s are a totally unecessery folly there. This isn’t hurting working class families. (Also, people like you do have power, organize)

These type of actions do have an effect in SUV sales though.

No form of protest is acceptable to liberals (let alone conservatives). When you peacefully protest, no one pays attention, when you damage private property, everybody screams, when you are disruptive while not damaging said private property, you’re still a dick. So who cares, keep on going.

Three years completely on Linux, because I botched my dual boot and decided to try without the Windows partition and… never had to install it again! Happy user!

Been playing Assassin’s Creed Odessey lately. It’s fun and big, but I think, ultimately, Origins was a better game. There was a lot more cultural diversity present and they changed some mechanics for the worse imho. But it’s kinda cool how smooth it runs on my Linux machine!

I didn’t even know it had released yet. And at my job they’re still using 10.

Awesome!

There’s a whole bunch of smaller (indie) games in my cart right now. I’ll have to check each of them out a bit better and see if they’ll run on Linux and probably throw half of them out.

I am curious about Dredge though.

I haven’t played that one yet, but the Steam sales start today so maybe I’ll pick it up!

+ 1 for Cloudpunk. I’m also very curious to its more extensive sequel Nivalis!
