some developers “hope” the next installment in the GTA franchise will be priced at $80–$100

Management are NOT DEVELOPERS.

Executives are NOT DEVELOPERS.

Shareholders are NOT DEVELOPERS.

Neat, thanks!

So what’s the current state of emulation on Linux? I still have both Yuzu and Ryujinx installed, but has either been superseded by a fork?

Finally a publisher that knows their audience.

Not, it isn’t. It was most likely a spam filter. Images and longer messages work fine.

Not true. It was most likely a spam filter. Images and longer messages work fine.

We’re adding new, different symbols to the confusing mess of old symbols and keeping both? Neat!

The original creator of Wordpress and the owner of a Wordpress hosting site. He’s been having a meltdown for months because Wordpress is being used by WP Engine, a for-profit competitor hosting company, in compliance with the license. Since then, he has:

• Changed the trademark license and retroactively sued WP Engine,
• Disparaged WP Engine every time he had the chance,
• Added a potentially legally binding checkbox to wordpress.com where the user must declare their disassociation with WP Engine (which also locked out actual employees),
• Forcibly taken control of several community-made plugins,
• Acted like an absolute fucking buffoon the innocent little lamb who’s been set upon by the wolves.

Please don’t, this is the best entertainment I’ve had in months!

I’m willing to bet that 95% of Wordpress users just want a one-click solution to their non-technical needs and don’t give one shit about “innovation”. Otherwise they wouldn’t be using Wordpress.

While I wouldn’t accuse him of having the intelligence to make a “calculated move” – he has an extensive history of making decisions based on how it might make him look in the eyes of his suckers naive gamers. If you remember the beginning of his beef with Google and Apple – Epic prepared an entire 80-page lawsuit and an animated short film before intentionally breaking ToS, positioning themselves as the messiah that will save the gamers from the evil corporations.

He obviously has something to gain from voicing a dissenting opinion. Remain skeptical, question everything.

I currently run Nextcloud inside a Debian 11 LXC container on Proxmox, together with Apache, Mariadb, and PHP. I followed this guide. Once Apache and PHP were running, the rest of the process was straightforward.

You mean a service that translates between ActivityPub and another API? I’m pretty sure that’s just a bridge.

As for the challenges:

• It would have to be maintained constantly.
• It would have to be updated to reflect changes to an API in a timely manner.
• It would need to handle different versions of APIs (goodness knows even Lemmy instance operators have trouble with that).
• It would need to handle features that don’t translate one-to-one between instances.
• It would have to be transparent enough to allow a non-technical user to use it, but opaque enough that a non-technical user doesn’t blame issues with the bridge on the connected services (see for example: the Bottles packaging kerfuffle).
• …and so on. Lots of challenges.

Command line cheat sheet (with bonus vim controls):

Toilet humor is the fucking sauce of Borderlands. BL3’s greatest flaws were the insufferable antagonists, the annoying Chosen One kid, and the death of my favorite player character directly caused by her. They might as well put skibidi toilet in BL4 because BL3 had the same kind of contemporary brainrot.

Hyperbole. It’s obviously not a third of the userbase, or even the recently active ones, but whenever the topic of moderation comes up, there’s always a vocal portion of commenters (mostly of the ML persuasion) complaining about the violation of free speech as they (mis)understand it. It’s been like this ever since Lemmygrad and Hexbear were defederated and piracy@dbzero was blocked instance-wide.

It is the most viable strategy, but we did that with lemmy.world and now a third of the fediverse is screeching about censorship on the largest instance and directly shitting on LW users.

and help grow it

You grossly overestimate the average social media user’s willingness to make an effort to create a Thing when that same Thing already exists in a usable state under a different name; and yes, for the purpose of having a Twitter-like microblog, Mastodon and Bluesky are identical.

if people aren’t able to grapple with that I don’t think they are ready to come here anyways

And they didn’t. It continues happening in real time, and the value gap between Mastodon and Bluesky, from the average social media user’s perspective, continues to grow. Thinking that a handful of libre-minded people can change that is wishful thinking bordering on delusion.

“Big company, therefore manipulation” is one hell of an argument my dude
