Bitcoin and ethereum blockchains are built to be open, public and decentralized. The difference between these and a bank could be compared to the difference between reddit and lemmy. Is reddit a scam? Perhaps not on a large scale but it has all the potential to become a scam once its executives decide to do so. Lemmy is not owned by a single person which makes it way more harder to “control”.

You can support lemmy by donating cryptocurrencies, they are not only used by scammers.

Most of crypto volume is done on bitcoin and ethereum network which are built to be less scammy than a bank. You could indeed argue that 99.9% of existing cryptocurrencies are scam because there are thousand existing projects that imitates bitcoin, similarly one could argue that 99.9% iphones copies are a scam

A free and direct tip system that doesn’t force you to use credit cards would be quite useful

Having to deal with crypto means having to deal with crytpo bros
The internet was also a better place when people using it were more open minded

Windows, google, photoshop now all comes with AI. Are you going to avoid any product made with these? AI isn’t just a tool to generate a game with a click, it can offer all sort of feedback and tools, for example it could be used to change the color of a box without having to do it manually. Unless the whole process is documented you will not be able to tell if AI has been used or not.

Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.
So libertarian he become a billionare thanks to a platform where you don’t own any of your games.

Valve ceo just added a $500 million mega yacht to his fleet. Valve true benefit is that thanks to window they managed to build a monopoly on videogames distribuition and that their customers are kids addicted to videogames.

I don’t love much how people fall from valve marketing. Not owning any game i buy would piss me off
- Comment on We have just released a grand DLC, War Sails, for our game, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord 1 week ago:
seems like an unnecessary workload for an already busy team of developers
Personally i would consider releasing the game for consoles more unnecessary. I guess it all boils down to what your goals are

I personally think that Proton has ended the need for Linux-native builds
No, it’s only allowing people to patch up the problem

You should consider releasing native builds for linux and direct buying options

Hello, please consider releasing the game for linux

You are wrong daikiki. AI is a tech that is going to change everything, it’s the “computers” of this era, they are investing in a technology that will boom. Even if you don’t think it will they will push it, see what google is doing, they rigged up the search results and now you necessarily have to use AI to get good answers, it’s also there by default so you can’t really avoid it.

Many people have no interest in replacing PC parts
Many people have no interest in replacing their car tires and they just want to drive but i’m sure they would be really pissed if once a tire bursts they would have to replace the car.

It is also very hard for them to do marketing selling third parties modular parts, it’s much better for them to come up with a product.
If you want to swap your GPU, build your own SFF.
If you want to replace parts in your computer so that it doesn’t became useless in 5 years or end up in a landfill when a piece break, build your own SFF

They need their products to be as clean as possible to hook people into microtransactions and their proprietary platform. Valve is a for profit company and the ceo owns a fleet of mega yachts

I will never understand the hypocritical surveillance state apologism when it comes to China or Russia on this site.
People get brainwashed to conform, when they don’t like a side they urge to pick another

Chinese government is not trying to oppress their citizens
yes they are
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 4 weeks ago:
In this case we should indeed report on them because it is not much clear to the public what palantir does and they have ties and contracts with the government

“A surveillance state is needed to beat china who is evil because it’s a surveillance state”

You should try to strengthen your relationship so that they don’t spin around a specific videogame. What happens if you get banned or the requirements for playing the game becomes even more stupid?

it is that represents people’s major obstacle to joining Mastodon
There’s always room for improvement but i believe there’s not much drastically wrong with mastodon, the obstacle is people themself conforming to whatever is popular you could pay them to join mastodon and they would still not do it, see how they would rather pay for windows than switch to linux.
