Keep doing what you are doing. I’m sure people will suddenly care deeply about software licenses if you shame them enough. They probably don’t have other shit in their life to worry about. It’s really constructive.
- Comment on Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of 1 day ago:
Maybe Mastodon should take a moment to learn something. Everybody on Reddit is praising all the moderation capabilities of Bluesky, the ability to create block lists and starter packs. The way you can verify your user by using your own domain as a handle.
Instead of complaining about users, which is pointless, make Mastodon better. Users won’t come to Mastodon by shaming them for being stupid.
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 1 week ago:
Americans love to pretend they are cowboys. In reality they love centralised power and bureaucracy. They are deeply afraid of each other so they flock to platforms that pretend to be for freedom, but is actually highly regulated by centralised power. That’s why they love tech-oligarchs that pretend to be self made geniuses. It allows them to fantasise about freedom to succeed and submit to power at the same time.

- Comment on Xbox president: Studio closures will ensure 'business is healthy for the long term' 6 months ago:
I wish more people would create worker owned cooperatives. They might be more resilient and might even be more productive. Of cause the downside is that they don’t make one person very rich.
- Comment on Xbox president: Studio closures will ensure 'business is healthy for the long term' 6 months ago:
I really hope these developers create new independent studios and if they ever get offered a big bag of money, they will remember what happened last time. Maybe they will be smart enough to create worker owned studios and not waste huge salaries on useless CEOs.

I don’t mind ads in EA games, mostly because I will never play them.

Not even in games can an honest peasant drink.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 6 months ago:
You are right, that there are no games now bound to the cloud right now. But look at Microsoft business model in other areas. It’s all software as a service, web apps in the cloud, that businesses pay a subscription to use. It’s great way to extract value from customers, because it gets harder and harder to move away from these platforms. Your data, save games, your friend list, your ability to play multiplayer and so on, get increasingly locked to one platform, which makes it harder to move. And then Microsoft can just collect rent, they don’t have to innovate or compete on a free market. This trend is sometimes called techno-feudalism.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 6 months ago:
Sony is just as bad. Sony use the same tactics to vendor lock its users.
- Comment on Telegram apparently censor queer groups 6 months ago:
Sure, but people should know they are being monitored by the Saudis, and Telegram should not be used for anything sensitive. They pretend to be a secure privacy respecting platform, but they are practicing mass surveillance and censorship.
- Comment on Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio 6 months ago:
Sure that’s how it is now. As soon as the technology is mature enough, they will slowly begin to make a push for cloud only games. In that way they have total control. They can’t do it now because the technology is not quite there yet, and people is not ready. But you can see where they are heading. All business software such as Office and other cloud services is already there.

It’s optional for now.

If cloud gaming ever becomes the norm, the consumer will have no power left. That’s their end game, to lock us into platforms and extract subscription and when they can’t get more subscribers they will demand higher prices and add more advertising. People who are paying for game pass, are investing in this future for gaming.

I’m not buying anything from Ubisoft. If people do that, they get exactly what they deserve… a game from Ubisoft.
- Comment on Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs? 8 months ago:
That’s cheap. If a raspberry pi 5 with power supply, case, nvme ssd is about 270 euro in my country. That’s about the same for a N100 mini pc.
- Comment on Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs? 8 months ago:
Why not get an Intel N100? It’s about the same price and much better performance. Raspberry Pis is kind of overpriced these days.

There are already some big groups on Simplex. I haven’t used it much, so I don’t know how well it works. But it seems easy enough to use.
- Comment on Would anyone be interested in a telegram channel for lemmy ? 8 months ago:
You are right, Matrix saving a lot of metadata. A better choice would probably be Simplex Chat. It seems to be build with privacy in mind. simplex.chat
- Comment on Would anyone be interested in a telegram channel for lemmy ? 8 months ago:
They cant do that if it’s end to end. That’s the point. Your messages is encrypted before they reach the server. On the other hand Telegram has access to all your group messages and their admins and business partners can read everything. The reason end to end encryption is important is that you don’t have to trust the server. But with Telegram it’s “totally secure, trust us, bro”.
- Comment on Would anyone be interested in a telegram channel for lemmy ? 8 months ago:
I don’t think so. Telegram channels are not end to end encrypted. Telegram doesn’t support this very basic feature. Matrix rooms can support end to end encryption.

If we don’t care about security and privacy, why not just use Discord? It’s basically the same thing.
