- Comment on Napster to become a music-marketing metaverse firm after $207M acquisition 4 weeks ago:
It did, but the branding got sold a few times and is now in the hands of some crypto company.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I got my first one an hour ago, truly an honor.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 1 month ago:
Maybe zen browser! Idk, my only hope is either Ladybird or Servo producing something usable this decade.
- Comment on Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free 1 month ago:
What? The old internet absolutely had moderation, even back in the day of BBS.
- Comment on Rust is Eating JavaScript 2 months ago:
Originally 4 years old at this point it looks like, and the great shift to wasm has failed to manifest.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 2 months ago:
Yeah that’s pretty much the only real market I can see for this.
- Comment on Tumblr to join the fediverse after WordPress migration completes | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
It’s because tumblr is owned by the company of one of the original wordpress creators.
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 2 months ago:
Not wrong, but 30 years are probably good enough for most backup cases
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 2 months ago:
Also I feel like at that point you might as well go tape rather than fiddle around with 40 Blu-rays.
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 2 months ago:
Mastodon and the fediverse are nerd shit with massive usability issues. Even I gave up on Mastodon and I would consider myself far more willing to put up with shit than the average user will ever be. The mass will - never - migrate to the fediverse and in many ways, especially looking at moderation issues, that is probably a good thing.
- Comment on Plebbit is a peer-to-peer Reddit alternative that allows you to self host and own your own community 3 months ago:
Yet more cryptotrash.
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table 4 months ago:
Tried mastodon, went through three instances, at the end hosted my own single user, ultimately decided the hassle was not worth it. I would rather use nothing than mastodon.
- Comment on 'Ouest-France' becomes first French newspaper to stop posting on X 5 months ago:
Bluesky most likely, I don’t see mastodon happening unless there is a major change in how the network addresses moderation and defederation.
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 5 months ago:
Yup, that’s when I lost the remaining hope I had for the project.
- Comment on Palo Alto Networks confirms mystery zero day now exploited 5 months ago:
Yeah fuck them.
- Comment on Russian TV companies demand 2 undecillion rubles from Google 5 months ago:
Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Yeah, was my first thought as well. As far as I can see it’s the same problem PeerTube is having and last I checked, were still trying to solve. (For context: github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 )
- Comment on ‘Unknown 9: Awakening’ Arrives To 200 Steam Players, Poor Reviews 5 months ago:
Same here, and frankly, what kind of title is “Unknown 9: Awakening” supposed to be? That reads like an internal Codename they forgot to change pre-release:
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 6 months ago:
Much as I love WOTR, hard disagree there. BG 3 is much better in terms of reactivity and consequences, polish, and all of its mechanics work properly. Meanwhile WOTR has the stumps that are 50% of its mythic paths, the not particularly well received crusade mode, and one of the worst dungeons I can remember in rpg history (I will freely admit that this last point is not as objective as the rest of my argument, but I know I am far from alone with this opinion).
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 6 months ago:
Successful lobbying by Sony and Nintendo I imagine.
