I dislike the urgency thing. “4 more people looking at this, only 1 spot left”.
I also hate when it when the ads follow me around every social media platform.
That’s why I love it here. Thank you lemmy.

That image reminds me of the Botez gambit.
Have you met lemmygrad.ml?
Because updates also add paywall, which is worse than hackers! /s
I use a combo of lutris and proton, if you’re looking for keywords.
At least Linux isn’t trying to milk you for its own gain.
Sounds like, at the very least, a yellow flag to me. Be aware that there may be other stuff broken in their processes other than legacy code. :)
Different error is definitely progress. Unless you get “1638394 rows deleted”.
Me too. But early 2000s.
Omg, I feel sorry for the people cleaning up after those codebases later. Maintaing that kind of careless “quality” lines of code is going to be a job for actual veterans.
And when we’re all retired or dead, the whole world will be a pile of alien artifacts from a time when people were still able to figure stuff out, and llms will still be ridiculously inefficient for precise tasks, just like today.
What if peoples relationships create a superstructure no single human can control, and we need active collective effort to supercede it?
If a single human refuses from a moral standpoint, a humongous amount of money to do something crap as CEO controller of whichever crap company, boards will replace them, and some other human will, because material condition dictate it has to be done. No one is really in control. The boards are all just optimising for profit, because if they’re not, someone else will.
How to break the capitalist cycle of control over peoples will?
Same as torrents, some form of signing keys?
I was thinking federation for the social aspect of it, not the distribution aspect of it.
Distribution would be “the usual”. Stores acquire software, and licenses, store and serve the data through a server. Client software solve installation and integration between games and social stuff, like friends, messages, networking and achievements.
I mean, it’s not a one person project, but if I were supreme leader of Vietnam and had the people and resources to be working on providing video game entertainment for the masses, that’s how I’d be thinking about it. Not that software skills and supreme leader skills have any overlap…
That’s Sovereignty.
Assuming approval is a strict requirement, a middle ground solution would be an open source, federatable, steam clone, operated locally. Have an approving committee to priorise approving games from local developers, and working on evaluating international games after all local games are dealt with.
That’s for sure similarly efficient to gaming industry distributors system, where you need companies with the right connections to launch games in big platforms, like sony’s, nintendo’s, or microsoft’s. Or event steam’s, to a minor extent. Which also veto games not aligned to their opaque terms and conditions.
Also, it would improve international competition, with the removal of the technology barrier of entry, distribution costs would lower, games would become cheaper, and the share retained by creators and developers would be increased.
Long live, a collaborative approach to technology! Long live smaller profit margins! Long live open source!
I really like refold.la guides: https://refold.la/roadmap
Communist spotted.
Nice to see you, comrade. Come to lemmygrad.

If you’d like a second opinion on animal farm and Orwell in general.
Commander, captain, uncle, brother, comrade, Chief, big friend Bring us down another round
Funny, but problematic. I know it’s a joke.
I like the idea to use unexpected cumpliment, as “my connoisseur”, “my most esteemed”, “my commander”, “my captain”, “my sibling”, “my comrade”, “boss”, “friend”, or something.
Pointing at physical characteristics? Not as amazing.
Class consciousness.
So then we stop fighting each other for peanuts and look at who gets to benefit from our generalised political apathy.
