The politics of getting intentionally incomplete games to add DLC’s and squeeze more to the players does not help. The Civ VII is clearly incomplete and we all know it, within perhaps two years, there will not be all the things that the company already knows that the game needs.
Keep in mind that these are active users, many networks with huge numbers have registered accounts, but most have no activity.
In any case, be the change you want to see, help the network grow by providing content and activity, you will always be welcomed.
On unrelated topics, I am now radicalized and I hope that capitalism falls violently
I do not say that he is right, but he is right
Kieran Culkin? Good actor and capable of good comedy
I was going to say terminator3 but then I realized you were serious.
I’ll have to say Escape from L.A. It is not usually mentioned and I think it is better than the first part
Rhetoric, proposals, ideas and even the gestures of his collaborators. I think all he needs is a swastika tattoo on his ass, and even then some media would have qualms about calling him a fucking Nazi.
In other words, a company, acting on behalf of its own shareholders, tells a government, which represents 100% of the citizens in a given territory, to shove its legislation where the sun doesn’t shine. And not only is this not inherently absurd, but it also stands a significant chance of succeeding in getting the government to comply.
As long as our governments, political parties and politicians continue to use it, it will remain relevant.
I’m not going to discuss it with you, because I’m not a doctor nor is it the issue, but the health authorities (at least the European ones) do not agree with your statement.
Personally I think that financing a platform like this with premium subscriptions is illusory. I could be wrong but what are they going to offer as a premium?
I think it may be interesting to note that Spotify is closing its first green year in its history this year, for reference.
Ok. You are in a situation of harassment and you believe that giving your data and delegating your security to a private company that responds to economic interests is a viable long-term solution.
There are things that one cannot argue against
I will count it as a victory when my government’s communication channels with me are not private property. A government-owned Mastodon server for official accounts would be logical (the EU already has it even though it barely uses it)
Well, I am not a systems engineer to answer your question, in any case smaller Hitlers equals Hitlers with less power. Dividing power is not the definitive solution to authoritarianism, but it usually helps a lot, especially if the agents are also competitive. “If you are too Hitler, I’ll go to this other server that is a little less so” is a valid incentive to avoid the Hitlerization of the admins.
I don’t think I’ve ever used the name Hitler so much.
Ok, I haven’t denied that, the tools are different (I don’t even know Twitter’s tools very well), I debate whether that is worth enough to accept that it is centralized. If over time they consider that something else is more profitable, they will change the moderation tools, have no doubt.
Ok, if for you the API is the most important thing, go ahead, I’m worried about more companies doing “things” with my data, everyone has their priorities.
P.S. Unlike in BlueSky in Mastodon you can be 100% sure that the API will never be closed, in Bluesky it will depend on variable business interests
Ok, if it’s good for you I’m glad, maybe over time it will happen to you like vaping and you can completely switch to decentralized networks
Are these details really that important? Is it really that difficult to manually block 50-100 users? I don’t know, everything you are telling me are, at best, marginal improvements that do not justify selling all your personal data to a private company seeking profit from those data/contributions.
Oh my god, if they paid that much money, they are going to milk it like Disney milked Lucas film. I hope with a little more judgment.
