it’s it though?

in our Fediverse bubble yes.

but so many average people just don’t care.

YOLO

Indeed. While many years ago I was playing almost only League of Legends with friends every evening after school, now I’m more enjoying the quality in note/totk, Celeste, and co. I also feel like online games aren’t anymore the places where you could get to know strangers and make online friends. LoL has gotten too toxic and competitive. And Minecraft servers have a 5oo young demographic for me

Sounds like a black mirror episode - if it weren’t actually possible reality…

thanks, I’ve actually known the video - but not the larger picture.

nevertheless, one of the most impressive and extraordinary and important clips in humanity

Wow. I had never seen the full image. thanks!

ooffff

And what do you do after three years? Then the cash will be used up.

Mozilla isn’t just developing the Firefox browser. Technology is inherently political - and educating people and influencing actors politically on the free and open web is very important. Firefox is much less likely to mis-align away from their browser users than chrome simply because they don’t have the misaligned incentives like the chrome Browser which is equally made by the largest internet advertising firm of the world.

They even has created FirefoxOS for phone at some point in the past 10 years. But I don’t remember what happened with that.

I’ve yet to see any single new law proposal, that actually tackles this problem rather than misusing it’s emotional trigger to get acceptance for surveillance and control

I mean… it’s also a step back - which kinda fits the entire fiasco well

so pathetic. many people download Chrome or firefox add their browser on their first time on an Windows. it’s completely automatic these days in their brain. these people still get even more convinced of their opinion by this interception

Xcoin incoming…

I am exactly doubting your suggestion of tax paid donations. I don’t think this will happen, unless we actually come together and try to actually enforce this on the political level in various countries.

After all, open source software is an essential and critical foundation since many decades - but I’m not sure, whether there is any government that has made a pledge to donate a certain amount of money per year into the development and funding of such general purpose software. (Maybe I’m wrong though.)

Before the fediverse can get any public funding, we need to make some political efforts. the UN is the largest such institution - and it took all the fiasco with the 2 world war to get many countries pledge to donate to it every year…

A decentralised platform like the Fediverses won’t easily work with nation states and their taxes. Even with Wikipedia today, it’s not funded directly via any government - but rather by certain universities giving some money to it + all the private doners.

And even if we get that working, power politics will mess this up like so often when things actually get troublesome.

It might be interesting to explore cryptocurrencies as for donations here though. They do have international liquidity and they can’t be misused foe power politics.

Thanks!! It’s wonderful as I have now a word I can use to describe something I was struggling to succinctly name!

Holy f… I hadn’t read that story about the incident in Nigeria yet. this is so sad and enraging

Haha, that’s a nice explanation

Life.

9 months until your game finally goes beyond loading screen. You pay it permanently and cannot stop playing it - and if you intentionally stop playing, you can’t play again. No savestates - which sucks for exploring alternatives. You also don’t get asked whether you want to play or not as well - you just get thrown in. Also there is no character selection screen and you start with whatever stats, region, context, etc. you rolled.

However, it is definitely quite interesting and gives you really very realistic experiences. Did I mention, that it’s much better in its immersion than all the AR/VR stuff and co? You even can properly smell and taste stuff there!
