RealM, to kbinMeta in Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Yo, that is so good to know!
Wish there was a link to some quick stylesheet guide that kbin supports when you write a comment. Haven't seen this feature before.

Time to dig out the sonic shitposts.

RealM, to linux in change my mind: Ubuntu does the same thing as Android
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Troll post or shill, same account recently asked "why do people dislike google, they're only doing legal data saving for stuff you search" and then ignored every bit of legitimate croticism that was handed to them.

Makes no sense to interact with such an account.

RealM, to nostupidquestions in why do some people really dislike google??
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

"Legal" doesn't immediately mean "moral". Everything is legal as long as there isn't a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You're forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore...

Today is Wednesday, the 8th of November. This is GameSpot, bringing you your daily GTA6 News. There has been no news to report today. This has been your daily GTA6 News.

RealM, to gaming in Starfield group fixing Bethesda's bugs say their job is tough as mods feel an afterthought
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Wouldn't be surprised if mod tools never come at all.
If there's one thing I learned, it's that gaming companies will promise you anything to get on your good side. Take statements like these with the biggest grain of salt.

RealM, to retrogaming in This level is when 80s kids learned for the first time that it's ok to give up.
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

This game is probably the reason I never got into TMNT. Super unforgiving lifr system which throws you back at the start of the game, and very wonky hitboxes

RealM, to kbinMeta in Request: Remove ability to 'boost' your own comments and threads
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Alternatively, upvote/boost your own posts by default when posting.

I've struggled with this question before myself. On the one hand, there is a notable impact in visibility on posts which I've self-upvoted versus posts which I did not self-upvote, so it does feel like an unfair advantage. On the other hand, I am also a community member in the community I post. I wouldn't post something, if I didn't think it contributes to the overall community. Plus, there's a bug in kbin going on, that new posts only show up in new but not in hot at all, until there is at least some sort of interaction (a comment, or an upvote, or a boost).

RealM, to technology in YouTube is testing a mystery button that starts playing random videos
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

They can control your watch time better if you make less decisions. Just be a good little brainless consumer and scroll through endless amounts of bullshit instead of specifically finding one video, then doing something else.

It started with autoplay, wormed it's way into search feature, and now it's all over home and subscriptions.

RealM, to games in Dev sets up “goatse” trap for sites that steal his free web game
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

"If you are using an iFrame to display a site that isn't yours, even for legitimate purposes, you have no control over that content—it can change at any time," Simmons warns. "One day instead of looking into an iFrame, you might be looking at an entirely different kind of portal."

Holy shit this guy is amazing.

I get it though. People trying to monetize your work which was purposely hosted for free without ads would drive me mad too.

RealM, to games in Meet the men hiding their FIFA Ultimate Team addiction from their families
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Here's a fun suggestion, how about you unlock the desired players by playing the game? Could even put it into an immersive context, you beat brazil and subsequently unlock their players for your team.

What's so fun about buying a chance to get your player? Is it possibly the shiny colors and the happy soundeffects that are specifically designed to make your brain addicted?

RealM, to videos in The Amazing Digital Circus: Pilot
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

This is only the pilot and they're trying to get the series greenlit.

Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that's just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

RealM, to videos in The Amazing Digital Circus: Pilot
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

So this animation randomly exploded and made it's way onto my frontpage.

I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I'd share it with the fediverse.

To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called "Glitch" and the creator called "Gooseworx" had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!

RealM, to kbinMeta in So, what's the status on the update? (edit: ernest responded)
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Oh man, I totally missed that link by just skimming over the post back when it was posted...
Thank you!

I'll try to make an effort to actually read things more carefully in the future >_>

@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Sounds like a lot of personal problems, wish you all the best with them!

Regarding the funding, do you think you can set up an alternative way of donating that accepts other payment options like PayPal? Personally I'm not using a credit card, which is the only payment option one can use on your buymeacoffee.
