The federation of votes makes sense for potentially mitigating bad actor instances with false votes. Like if a new instance spun up and falsified their votes it could be negated easily by defederating.
Having differing votes is like having differing communities based on subscriptions. Just a necessary side effect of picking and choosing what gets shared when federated.

I had a friend whose dad had a little FIAT. He said it stood for Fix It Again Tony, which is obviously a stereotypical slur but also his mechanic was named Tony so it was technically the truth.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 3 days ago:
Yeah, pause and skip should be separate things. I have some games pm PC where the ESC key pauses and brings up the menu but to skip the scene you have to be watching it and then hold some specific button like mouse 1 for a couple of seconds to skip. Those are my favorites because I have time to reconsider skipping!

I have played a lot of games where pausing the game to get to game menus pauses cutscenes, generally ones where they use in game assets to do the cut scene. I would have to check to confirm, but I think BG3 let you pause by going to the menu and there was also a separate option to skip the cuts scene.
Definitely played a lot with unskippable cut scenes too. Mostly avoid those games now.

Those two features frequently make me nauseous! Being able to turn them off or at least down is a necessity for me.

The ability to pause should be a requirement for single player games. Not being able to pause long cut scenes, combats, etc. is so frustrating when nobody else is impacted.
Any game completely opposed to pausing for whatever design reason should instead be required to have a minimum of 30 seconds between pauses to allow for interruptions while playing without it allowing for rapid pauses to impact game play. 30 seconds minimum is because of how many interruptions are immediately followed by another interruption by kids/spouses/parents/pets.

The massive corporate AI (LLMs for the most part) are driving up electricity and water usage, negatively impacting communities. They are creating a stock market bubble that will eventually burst. They are sucking up all the hardware, from GPUs to memory, to hard drives and SSDs.
On top of all of that they are in such a rush to expand that a lot of them are installing fossil fuel power on top of running the local grid ragged so they pollute, drive up costs, and all for a 45% average rate of incorrect results.
There are a lot of ethical problems too, but those are the direct negatives to tons of people.

Other major advantages are the form factor and standardized design making it smaller and most likely more reliable than a comparable PC.

- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 1 week ago:
On most days it isn't really going until 9 a.m. no matter what time I haul my ass out of bed. On vacation that is when I wake up if allowed to sleep in.
The one thing I look forward to from a possible retirement is sleeping on my natural sleep cycle.

The last time I went to a bar with a jukebox many years ago a friend put in enough to play music for the two hours we planned to be there and the bartender kept overriding it with their crap. The friend didn't even pick troll songs or anything.
We only stayed 30 mins.
