Oh interesting…the plot thickens!
- Comment on "Modding is pretty big" says Baldur's Gate 3 director as over 1m mods are installed in less than 24 hours 2 months ago:
Some of the UI mods are really good. Gives what can be a bit of a clunky experience some QOL features and look.
- Comment on Is "disk" just a different spelling of "disc" or are they actually different words? 2 months ago:
For the optical media side of things, the name was coined by Phillips while they were consorting with Sony to develop the standard and named it the “Compact Disc” to compliment their already existing “Compact Cassette” product. They developed an official logo for the format which spelled it “disc.” That’s been with us ever since.
Didn’t LaserDisc predate Compact Discs?

It’s hard to overstate
- Comment on Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal 3 months ago:
Seems like a solvable problem though. We have a list of federated servers inately built into activitypub, right? Just need to tag results from those servers as being linked to a “lemmy” keyword search.
I’m sure I’m oversimplifying it, but all the pieces are there, just need search engines to be smart about how they index. Since there are a couple of federation based models that would be good to index, not just lemmy, it would probably behoove them to figure it out.

As I understand it, Lemmy, being FOSS, is pretty immune to this since there are no big tech shareholders to appease. Lemmy is susceptible to EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish) via something like Threads, however.
- Comment on Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees 3 months ago:
There are plenty of private companies that are shitty too. It definitely helps being private (and maybe is a requirement?), but you also have to have the right owners for private companies to be good.

Trying this out now. It’s awesome. Might have found a new doomscrolling default…

Is Feedly still a thing and okay? I remember it being the stopgap between Google Reader and Reddit, however I’m not sure where it lies on the “free version is good enough” vs “completely gimped free version and the real product is the paid one”
- Comment on Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance? 1 year ago:
What is Reddit if not a glorified collection of RSS feeds with comments?
I went from Google Reader to Reddit. It scratched very much the same itch. I remember having quite the curated list of RSS feeds subscribed to. Still pissed that Google killed it.

I look back and my parents let me read this in high school without comment…like wtf mom and dad.

Is that where Ted’s ego came from in HIMYM? I thought it was just Ted, but maybe all architects are horrible?
