I know it’s a popular mechanic that lots of people love, but I really don’t like games where you die a lot, or where death has significant impact. I generally play games to chill out and just have fun and I often feel like games are punishing me when that happens and I find myself doing sort of “risk management” and becoming a hermit in the game.
It’s not so much of an analogy, email actually is a federated technology just like ActivityPub is and ActivityPub works a lot like email and even has audience targeting fields which map onto the same audience targeting fields that email has (to, cc, etc.). Activities aren’t always publicly available, although they can be and when sent to specific people, and when they are they are delivered to the users’ inboxes (although if public they can be read from a user’s outbox).
Wow, I am surprised they would go this far if I’m honest. Are they actively trying to piss off literally everyone?
I knew neochat existed but wasn’t able to use it as it didn’t used to support end-to-end encryption, but I noticed recently that they’ve added support for it so I’ve switched. It’s been great, I use matrix both at work and at home and I love being able to native implementation.
Definitely worth giving a try if you haven’t already.
I really like these “for” pages KDE are making recently, for those who haven’t seen they’ve also done:
I think they do a good job of showcasing some really awesome software KDE have.
I hate it.
Usually I’m online but what if I’m not, or what if they have server problems, or what if in 5 years they feel done with the game and remove the servers. If I pay for a game, I want to be able to play that game on my terms
It just leads to a worse player experience now, and limited likely an inability to play later
