“No one” in the US perhaps. Customers look down on retail workers, and feel free to abuse them, because they are so economically disempowered. A nation which pays retail workers a fair wage is also a nation where retail workers are treated (somewhat) better.

Because what Twitter really needs right now is less engagement.

I loved Death’s Door. I think the difficulty was actually perfectly tuned. Boss fights are more about discovering patterns and mechanics while the combat itself was much more forgiving than, say, Tunic. Great soundtrack too.

If they really do shut off API access I’ll go into partial link aggregator withdrawal. My Lemmy instance still isn’t upgraded to the latest versions which are compatible with apps, so I don’t browse on my phone.

That’s addressed in the video. This is more likely aimed at disrupting target identification from low quality photo/video like drones or wide angle satellites.

Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”

One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.

Quite a nice thing about Lemmy is modlogs are public: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?userId=738214

We’re on the Fediverse now. Our software has way better bugs.

Yeah, this happened to Mastodon (aka the microblogging part of Fedi) also. I was on Mastodon on-and-off for years before the Twitter exodus, and it was a very different place back then. I can see why people miss the overall community on a platform before it became popular, but then I feel like ActivityPub gives us the tools to shape the communities we want, so we have to engage with it and be more selective than we were before.

The best way to interact with communities on remote instances is to first subscribe to them, so you can be sure your instance receives all content. The way to do this is to copy the community URL and pasting it in the search box of your instance. That should fetch it (if it wasn’t already) and then you can subscribe.

I mean obviously “Taxation without Representation” is one of the foundational injustices which led to the declaration of independence, so I’m in favor for letting non-citizen residents vote. But if the state constitution says voting is only for citizens then maybe the state constitution needs to be amended…

A few states do have provisions for letting non-citizens vote in local elections: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States

Oh, yeah in that case I guess Lemmy propagates this information so other instances can show the “banned” information on a user profile.

I think some people reacted a bit too quickly to that sublemmy appearing though… Give admins some time to evaluate and resolve the situation before impulsively defederating an entire 6000-user instance.

Those must be bans from communities, I assume. A community is linked to a single instance so it can control who is banned. But banning a user from an instance is only meaningful on that single instance. At least that’s my understanding…

In a way, Crysis. There’s a reason the “But does it run Crysis?” meme exists. Because most computers could barely run it on release. It was way ahead of its time technologically.

Like capitalism in general, I believe copyright is a good thing in moderation. When those who profit from something want ever more, and those who rule let them, that’s when things go sour.

We continue to inch closer to full-blown corporatocracy. We’ve all watched and read enough cyberpunk to see where that leads.

Yes so many great games shipped on XBLA. It’s how I first played Braid, Limbo, Shadow Complex, and many other indies. There’s still some which are exclusive to the platform, hidden gems like “ilomilo”.

I was thinking a few times this week whether I should just delete my 3rd party Reddit client app now, but I think I’ll wait so I get to experience the shutdown myself. Strangely exciting.

Nice setup. I grew up using classic macs. Powerbooks, Macintoshes, Powermacs. All such beautiful and functional machines (until an Error of Type 2 occurred anyway). I miss that era of being amazed at these wonderful computers, with seemingly new features every year. MIDI. CD-ROM. Netscape!
