Ya, kinda tired of hitting the edges of my samsung, and their accidental edge touch protection’s kinda useless.

The usernames are just domains. Nobody can steal your domain.

i have a layman’s understanding of AT Proto, but it seems to compartmentalize between different parts of the service. Front ends, databases, and backends can be hosted separately and amalgamate into one, in the abstract.

Practically, however, AT Proto allows account portability, wherein users can swap what instance they use as a frontend on a whim, even if their home instance is down. Usernames are domains instance of username@domain, that are verified by the DNS. But AT Proto seems a lot less flexible than ActivityPub. We’ll have to see when federation is live, but I’m not sure it really suits anything beyond (micro)blogging.

So same situation as Epic

They have a 30% stake, but most of their other investments didn’t produce anything. Even riot’s down enough to have massive layoffs.

Huh didn’t know that. That’s definitely interesting.

That’s fair.

To me, it feels kinda cynical of the developers, like how a lot of GaaS trickle thins out just fast enough to not destroy their userbase. I prefer a little bit more reward as I play through, while obviously maintaining a slow enough pace that it feels like there’s reason enough to continue playing.

Different strokes though.

Not really. There’s a ton of other survival games I’d rather play, and the game’s progression feels like it’s deliberately just fast enough to keep me from closing it. After 8 hours or so I closed and uninstalled because it feels engaging enough to play, but not enough to be anything but chores.

The boss battles suck, the crafting has arbitrary timers to it. I just really don’t find it fun at all.

I love monster collection games, and I enjoy survival, but this definitely isn’t for me.

What sites would these be, out of curiosity?

The bot’s actually not AI powered, but uses Sumy to algorithmically create a summary.

Yes, hyperbole is non-falsefiable. It’s a rhetorical device, not a claim unto itself. In this instance it’s a rhetorical device being used to communicate the idea that, were this Nintendo, they’d be receiving rightful backlash, but people, like you, online will give a pass due to the sheer fact that it’s Valve doing the takedown.

to me, this is clearly an example of incorrectly getting mad about something and then shifting the goalposts to not have to take the L.

Or it’s hyperbole.

The last time you’re referring to was Valve directly distributing the project in question. That is not the reality here, nor is there any implication that Valve allows it. If Valve never issued this takedown, there’d be no reason to even believe Valve knew of this infringement nor that they were so intimately familiar with it to know Nintendo’s IP was also being infringed upon.

This is just a corporate passing of the buck. There’s no reason to believe a third party infringing upon the properties of two parties would give the latter parties any ability or risk of going after one another.

This project was not on steam and as such was not distributed by nor associated with Valve in any way beyond infringement of IP and use of their assets. Let’s not give Valve a pass just because they can lazily and baselessly say “um nintendo!” about it.

Valve about to become as litigious as Nintendo with IP they’ve let rot.

What makes you so confident? It’s not as though the internet’s “fine” right now compared to where it was 20 years ago.

EDIT: I see your entire personality is hating Mozilla, and apparently that means people can’t hate Chrome too. Gonna just block this google shill.

Nobody’s stopping you. Just saying it’s either ignorant or stupid to, and actively makes the internet a worse place.

“Cult Apple haters” is a goofy phrase and doesn’t exist. Maybe people who swear off / boycott Apple, but a cult? Goofy.

I don’t understand why so many folks aren’t worried about another superpower replacing the US’s slowly waning stranglehold

Can’t speak for others, but personally I simply find them both worrying. The Chinese and US states are both foreign powers that wish to track everything I do and use it to control me in the future.

Look at all the fucked up shit the US has done around the world, and that’s with a quasi-democratic government that at least has a modicum of domestic and international accountability

Which US-led, US-backed agencies are you referring to as delivering accountability for the US? The ones they have veto power in too?

Not trying to “both are equally bad”. China’s output of political violence is ostensibly worse, but you seem to be dismissing the legitimate concern that the source for this is the US regime, whose political interest is for us to point fingers at China as they continue working behind our backs.

We know to be cautious of China, yet any time someone brings up “we should be cautious of the US too”, the response is “China’s worse”, deflecting from the real threat that the US presents globally.

Preferably, I’d like to see all these superpowers overthrown, the states broken up, and a union a la the EU to form with more global pursuits, or the EU itself to expand beyond European borders, while continuing to be genuinely voluntary while also being both politically and economically beneficial for all member-states.
