  FOSS stuff like lemmy and mastodon will never get past the first step, which is fine. they will just occupy a separate niche.

  I wouldn’t say never, but fedverse projects will need to find ways to smooth off the rough edges. Also the more enshittifcation happens the more I think people will be willing and able to get past the rough edges. If any one of the services breaks through and becomes mainstream, it’ll provide a roadmap to success for other services and people will be more comfortable with the concepts.

  I don’t think everybody knows that and at least here on Lemmy, it doesn’t show it by default like friendica. The fediverse doesn’t necessarily mean that all data has to be public. It’s just that it’s way harder to have a sense of truth without public data.

  I’ve tried luanti several times and I’m trying to dial in the graphics settings for best performance with the lack of in game settings menu was always a such a pain I’d gave up. I’m super excited about his change.

  I distantly remember a guy who was dying of cancer, but kept up an absolute tirade against EA. There was so much ill will then, it would be funny if they made the same mistake.

  I don’t know if you are talking about Total Biscuit, but you’ve reminded me of Total Biscuit.
