- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
Yet they did it anyway, my point is about the power of our intrinsic motivation to create, not our obvious need for food and shelter etc…

Did you not notice that almost the entire realm of technology runs on open source software largely written by volunteers? Yes your laptop may run a proprietary piece of software but not the servers it talks to, your phone, your apps, the cash register at the store, the computer chip in your kids toys etc…

I think it’s a pasta joke

like basically everything Coffee Stain puts out, it’s really well done, controller integration has been flawless so far, great game and a great team!
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 5 weeks ago:
I think this is good news which seems hard to believe right now. I’m sure someone will find a way to make this terrible but on it’s face we are watching an important anti-trust ruling take place. Google’s monopoly on the browser is dangerous and unhealthy. Taking it away from them is absolutely the right thing to do. Who inherits the power over the single browser used by most of the world remains to be seen though.

This is a pretty clear explanation for all of Sam Altman’s recent bootlicking, gotta get those government dollars. Line must go up or something.

Red Alert was my gateway drug to computer games, it’s so fun to see people still caring for it
- Comment on DOJ to ask judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, Bloomberg reports 5 months ago:
Lit. It’s a good ask although it’s not clear what separation means here. Not going to hold my breath, the big corpos seem to usually win these kind of games.
- Comment on First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed 5 months ago:
I wonder about this a lot. The little research I did suggested DigitalOcean is footing the bill for the moment (and also for Pixelfed? would love to hear more about this). Google, Facebook, TikTok, etc… have all managed to throw enough resources at similar products that people expect a level of performance that is very expensive to maintain. There is some serious hardware and distribution issues ($$$$) with trying to host an “instant and endless stream of short form video”.
In a counter point though I think large instances like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have found ways to survive and thrive and the fediverse generally seems to be supported in a very grassroots sort of fashion. Donations, patrons, people who have the hardware and bandwidth sharing what they can for the greater community. Perhaps loops will go the same way.
