"I prefer a distribution which is supported by game publishers." feels like it sets bad expectations considering it's just "do you want a stable Debian/Ubuntu distro?" and 'game publishers' might be a little out of date with their wording/justification

They're not really backing their claim up though in regards to "related to admins" and "admins are deleting other people's warnings".
And as far as I know the torrent has been pulled even.

Sometimes I check out /r/technology and /r/worldnews through libdirect proxy, as well as the slightly more occasional tech-support hunt, but I don't feel the need to interact with it.

Saw a thread of people circlejerking "fuck spez" and giving a bunch of rewards to each other under a thread where /r/space was reannounced, and I was so surprised these people thought they were doing anything

The left must embrace law and order | Slavoj Zizek (www.newstatesman.com)

In a world of role-reversal, it would perhaps make the most sense to embrace the 21st century where the leftwing no longer seems to be the rude, vulgar, authentic force and instead insist that law and order is threatened by right wing terrorism as it bit by bit seeks to cast us into chaos on every front....

I think that misses the point of the post as Zizek argues the shaking of order as things are now will lead to more right wing authoritarianism.

Question: Why are some instances defederating instances which don't sign the fedipact? (kbin.social)

Something I don't understand currently about the whole Meta/Threads debacle is why I'm seeing talk about instances which choose to federate with Threads themselves being defederated. I have an account on mastodon.social, one of the instances which has not signed the fedipact, and I've had people from other instances warn me that...

Twitter has shown that there is an audience for companies (and apparently presidents) engaging via public social media.
Corporations rely on algorithms to get attention on their eyes, and it's especially convenient to have everyone on the internet on a 'central hub', where you can make sure the most people have a chance to get hooked on what you do (this is also the case for smaller creators like digital artists)
as Twitter proves unreliable I imagine corporations as well as smaller freelancers will work to give Meta's alternative some legitimacy in the public's eyes so that they're not shit out of luck
Though Meta's bleeding money as it is, they might not be the horse worth betting on anyway.

Entirely speculation, but I think this might be why some of the dominoes are already falling?
Like maybe all the ads pulled out of Twitter and saw that it didn't impact the ad companies very much?
If so, it could be the true end to Web 2.0

Bluesky temporarily halts sign-ups because so many people are joining from Twitter (www.theverge.com)

Bluesky, a decentralized Twitter-like social network, is pausing new signups “temporarily” to try and resolve performance issues it’s been experiencing after Twitter introduced limits on the amount of tweets you can see in a day. Even though you still need an invite code to be able to join Bluesky, it seems that the influx...

Clairvoidance, (edited )
@Clairvoidance@kbin.social avatar

I'm no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization

The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[..]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[..]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.

I really like being able to confirm that something isn't made up or blown out of proportion, being able to quickly check stuff like 'how many people even agree with this take (a lot of times people leave out the engagement of a post)' and 'is this a genuine person in the first place (check out their profile or other posts)' to not poison discourse with made-up issues
That said, as others in this thread have pointed to, libdirect should be encouraged so they can discourage traffic to the actual site

I'm kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)

With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if Scalability and Funding were big issues. In regards to new user experience, I personally think https://joinmastodon.org/ does a great job, though maybe is a bit wordy in comparison to any 'sign up and type' social media

We are still playing catch-up to millennia worth of oppression. Rectifying historical disadvantages and creating a more inclusive learning environment are both boons that will benefit us in the long run. I don't think it's fair to call that racism. I agree with the need to fund primary education of these communities, that is very needed. I don't necessarily agree with (maybe I'm reading into your message a bit) that colleges don't heavily weigh all the other factors that they do for white people.
As an added bonus, why diverse teams are smarter

Article absolutely doesn't go into why someone might've thought it was bad, nice meme

my opinion nobody asked for, as someone who played it:
think the main story is great and that it touches upon a lot of cyberpunk themes in a very faithful way, not personally into GTA type gameplay and openworld, so that was a loss for me, but in general the world felt empty (why i tend not to like openworld) and the combat basic especially in comparison to anything promised a year before launch.
It also had some cute sidemissions here and there, particularly the Ghost in the Shell easteregg is tragic, and I enjoyed the sentient car (though I wish I could've been hanging out with my AI car alongside my tulpa)

IOM said there were 45 shipwrecks on the route during that period, but acknowledged the figure is "probably underestimated" because data is scarce and incomplete.

DO SOMETHING. STOP LETTING PEOPLE DIE. yeah you saved 24 people, due to a probably diligent search TEN HOURS LATE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD MAKE A TEAM THAT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT WAY QUICKER ON THESE TYPES OF DISASTERS WHEN YOU KNOW THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY
Morocco and the EU is obviously purposefully negligent on this topic, but I hope there's some group somewhere within the system that's working to change this.

Browser: Firefox, gonna name stuff i don't see mentioned yet

'Multi Account Containers' + 'Container Tabs Sidebar' + 'Switch Container' + 'Temporary Containers' + 'don't care about cookies' 'Consent-o-matic'
basically allows you to easily have multiple accounts on websites while also making sure everything stays contained to its own bubble, and anything I don't have a dedicated container for gets a temporary container that deletes the cookies after a bit in order for me to both not care about cookies and also not get any cookies. at this point mostly because I don't like accidentally having an account on a non-contained instance

ff2mpv - easily launch videos in mpv, requires a bit of setup

Image Search Options - finding the source of most drawings, spotting which anime a clip is from etc

Yomichan for quick access to locally installed dictionaries (for Japanese in this case)

I'm sorry for the level of discourse I'm about to engage in, but Zuckerberg knows Jiujitsu, I think if Musk had any actual training in any skillful way of fighting we would've seen it - the dude probably knows Zuckerberg knows jiujitsu, maybe he was just hoping that he would ignore the challenge? lmao

[Musk] has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights"

dude's gonna break his back if he doesnt back out last minute

Did Hogwarts Legacy ever get cracked successfully? (kbin.social)

I was always cautiously curious about the game but am not thrilled about supporting Rowling. Last time I checked it seemed like it was proving to be extremely difficult to crack. I see some torrents listed but they're not from uploaders I recognize and the seed count seems a little low for a modern high profile release. Are...

@Clairvoidance@kbin.social avatar

you're thinking of EMPRESS
Definitely presented as out of spite

Some people speculate that this is the cover-up persona to hide that they're actually a team with people who have worked on Denuvo themselves, and it certainly sounds more believable than this single woman managing to crack Denuvo in 14 days when every other cracker still in the business can't.
(but also some people are truly insane who knows)

I mean idk shit she says just sound like such elaborate troll-shit, it sounds like someone's having fun with it.
literally "it came to me in a dream"

Clairvoidance,
@Clairvoidance@kbin.social avatar

To my knowledge, Empress hasn't announced wanting to do Dead Space - Though their cracking times had also gotten longer such as 51 days for RE4make
Might just be that Denuvo cracked down and finally hired new people to add more bullshit onto Denuvo figuring out they couldn't trust the old ones, if the theory about them being a team is true, that'd probably be the end of things
But it could also be like, some laying-low strategy, we can't say without being in the battlefield ourselves

Given that it's rare for anything poly to take off, I get really torn being reminded that Ruby is still in the race for Aqua
I found recently that I really cling to characters who barely get the opportunity to get appreciated for all of their hard work, so I'll die if Kana doesn't get to live happily!

Clairvoidance,

I guess it's not out of the question that the author does something out of left field, but tropes indicate that since Aqua has loose ends with Ruby from pre-rebirth, that they would find each other to love each other again
