The Fedi Forum

Oh, fair enough. Thanks

Ну ка друг мой, ты никогда не знаешь говорят ли американцы по-инновациям языкам

Because $$ they're often leaks

great idea. I'm new to all this fediverse stuff. started with mastodon. social media needs to be more social again and less rage bait. we need good news. we need uplifting stories. we need cat pics.

fine, it has stagnated development compared to the better forks.

If only social media was still full of humans...

Well, according to the Join loops website, Loops federates with Mastodon and Pixelfed only, so you do need to make an account either on Loops or one of those other media sites. Do note that your Masto or Pixelfed instance would need to federate with Loops instances. I wish I could verify but I don't think my Pixelfed instance federates with Loops.video As for which instance to pick, you can see a list at fedi.db and filter by Loops under the "All Software" drop down menu. Do you want the main popular instance? Do you want to focus on a topic? Do you want to stick with your country? There's not many instances as of now, so maybe stick with the original Loops.video, since you can always migrate later. Edit: Instance migration isn't available yet, but it's planned on the roadmap for Q3 2026.

Yes, they wanted to make a third season. That said, it didn't end on a cliffhanger, and the ending wraps up the main plot points in a way that I found satisfying enough.

Hope fixing everything goes well! Thanks so much for hosting and maintaining peertube.wft!! I really appreciate being able to post my videos there.

It's just a matter of what it is. The end product is still garbage, but to me enshittification is the process of making the platform worse by one way or another monetising the users, like adding ads and promoting content that while not in the interest of the users will retain them (such as ragebait on Faceboo). In this case they make the content worse because they believe it will attract customers.

AAAA games are the best! I love squeezing through a narrow vertical crevice, it's such a riveting gameplay mechanic!

All of my systems are Linux, launching Windows games on Linux is not trivial, Steam takes away almost all of that complication. It also provides an excellent ten foot interface for me to use on my TV and buy/install/launch games from my couch without any hassle. Speaking of controller usage, Steam provides excellent support to remap controllers even if a game doesn't support it, and provide amazing features at that (for example multiple layers, gyroscopic mouse) Games getting updated automatically is a great feature, I still remember having to download patches and applying them one by one after a fresh install. Similarly Steam also provides a workshop that allows you to install mods and keep them synced across different systems automatically. Finally, the convenience of cloud saves for someone with multiple systems or who uninstalls a game and reinstalls it later is not easy to achieve without a launcher (I still have a saves folder backed up somewhere from before). Besides all of that Achievement and other social features are important for some people. And for some games being able to easily play online with friends is amazing (if you're not old enough to know what GameSpy is you don't know what it was back then), although I don't play too many online games so this one is not that important for me, but when I need that feature it is very handy. In short there are many reasons, but if you're playing old single-player games with mouse+keyboard on only one windows PC, then none of my reasons apply to you. Still I would argue that buying games on steam is easier than pirating them, so there's the convenience factor still (e.g. at a friend's house and they mention a game, open my phone, and in 5 min with a very intuitive flow I have the game downloading on my home PC so when I come back it's ready to play).

I poked around with it for a bit and 3 hours vanished... Yeah, this one might replace luanti for me once its done

If anything, they will go up.

Now that is some enthusiasm for the fediverse.

Hades feels like this to me. In fact the game dialogue seems to enforce this. I guess that's why it's considered a rouge-lite?

The what?

It’s almost as if they factored the cost of licensing a third-party IP into the price.

I can understand your viewpoint and agree with it even that Fortnite is overly engineered to sell overpriced cosmetic items to children. I think where we differ is that one wrong (regular Fortnite skins), doesn’t excuse another, worse wrong (brainrot lootboxes and expensive mtx that can be lost) The whole operation should be shut down, I think we agree there. Fortnite is actually the majority profiteer in this case, the “experience dev” only gets 34% of the revenue from the sale. Infuriating how hypocritical epic is after fighting apple and google over these practices only to do the same thing. At least Apple and Google try to protect their users from this kind of thing
