Wake me up when Alpha Centauri 2 drops.

Anti-AI people tend to be grifters just as much as the people who think AI (in it’s current form) will solve all our problems.

Makes me wonder if the Lemmy devs are getting a kickback

I would be wary of letting a child play anything with monetization tactics like this.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on it. He said something along the lines of “If you live in the US and the ToS of a piece of software said the publishers could come and shoot your dog, you’d have to prove that they broke some other law, like animal cruelty, to sue them successfully if they shot your dog.” I’m curious to see how companies react if they get a mandate from the EU to preserve games.

The two outcomes I see are:

1. We slowly bleed off users until all that remain are tankies, fascists, etc.
2. We effectively have two Fediverses, where one is LML, LG, Hexbear, and everyone that wants to allow users and sympathizers from those instances, and the other is everyone else.

Someone should present this to some progressive legislative body so that we can develop a safe haven for archiving games.

Deliver haymakers to the police en masse.

Hexbear is a instance run by tankies that spread their shit ideology and quash any dissent where they have the power to do so. Lemmy.ml is the exact same, except it’s much bigger and run by the Lemmy devs. I don’t think they should get a pass, and I think that Lemmy will become tankie Voat if this is allowed to continue indefinitely.

I came here because Reddit was being run by corporate scum that only cared about profits, and they crossed too many lines. I thought I could get a new start away from all the mod/admin abuse. I’m starting to realize that basically every instance’s and community’s admins abuse their powers to push their agenda, whether it’s political or trying to maximize membership, to the detriment of their larger userbase.

I don’t think this is a winning fight, even if LML is effectively quarantined, but I’d like to buy time by mass-defederating them.

Every cause, no matter how righteous or disgraceful, will always have its martyrs.

A shame they blacked out the usernames.

Trolls that primarily are active on vegan communities learning they could troll here without the mods telling them to pack it up.

Don’t do work that requires uploading your work to the internet before being paid if you’re not okay with some people experiencing it for free.

No, that’s self-regulating body temperature. You’re thinking of herpetology.

AI covers so many things that it’s inappropriate to hate “AI” when what you really hate is corporate applications of machine learning.

Ironic, coming from a Hexbear user.

“This isn’t worth the price” is valid criticism.

When we played PF2e (for 2.5 years), the amount of times we used a hero point to reroll into a natural 1 was statistically unlikely.
