Sounds great. I'll wishlist it for now and research it a bit more. I have way too much games already, but I just love this kinda game 😅

Would be interesting to hear how much progress the game made in the ~3 months

I will think about that. My biggest concern is actually the price. Even the reduced 29.99$ is a bit steep for a not so deep early access game imo 🤔

I have not looked at it. What makes Farthest Frontier great?

I am on linux and I think it is not working there, though even if it did, I always forget to cancel those kinda subscriptions, so it'd not really an option for me... Though great tip for others

I actually have that, though I thought that it is not challenging enough. I've had the feeling that I hit the endgame pretty early and that not much is happening 🤔

I absolutely see the problem, but making users host their own server to host their actor profile and posts is just too complicated. I mean why not just host the whole AP server then... Additionally it reminded me a lot of Activity Pods

mbin has had an accessible API for a few months now. You can use Interstellar with for example (not on iOS thuogh)

❤️

Brave would definitely not be my choice 😂

Its exactly this kind of bullshit that firefox should not do...

All Paradox Interactive games ever created 😂
The worst I had was Hearts Of Iron IV. I played a 2h tutorial only to not understand a single thing the real game threw at me afterwards...

Hi there, mbin dev member here. I do not know melroy personally, but I have never gotten the vibe that he is egotistical or wants to make the project his own. Never heard that he contributed to Lemmy...

Btw. we do not have a lead dev. He is the repo owner though

The core problem I had with kbin was that Ernest is just the kind of person who likes to work alone and in his own ways. That is just not a good fit for a project that gets contributions from the community (which I think he is not interested in). For example: I implemented a subscription panel in June/July 2023 and it got no reply from ernest for months. Then he replied once with the things he wanted changed and I did, then no reply anymore. I think it is still not implemented, but I lost intered. After I opened a PR about adding the same code to mbin I got some replies, answered them, changed the stuff that was complained about and voilá it got approved... It is just not encouraging to contribute to a project where your changes get accepted after a year if you're lucky. Mbin is just more open to people contributing.

But yeah the start was rocky as can be seen here: https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/610675

Did you actually try mbin? Because we fixed a huge number of federation issues kbin had/has. Sure a bunch still need to be worked on, but we do our best and improve it with every release

been using kagi for some weeks and so far I am satisfied. It has a subscription cost after 300 searches though. But I guess getting rid of advertisements and tracking has a price

always . freaking . debian

Already defederated all servers I run from threads. It's just another reason why that was a good decision...

Nope, that is mbin :)

Here is a list of mbin instances: https://fedidb.org/software/mbin We do not really have a "flagship" instance, as we saw that it created a bunch of problems for kbin having one

Absolutely. I mean yeah 30-45% of the biggest accounts are on mastodon.social but it is the only one with a huge share. The rest is pretty diversely scattered among instances

I like Nextcloud very much but this release (and the one before it) are really enterprise focused for which I don't have a use case...

I already unsubscribed from prime and if Disney+ is changing to the Netflix way of "no no no you cannot share your account" than that will be gone too. I already thought about unsubscribing from Netflix as well.
But I guess me and my friends are not the norm with a plex server that gets feeded by ~10 persons who like to buy blurays :D

well I am an active mbin contributor and cannot confirm any of that. He never tried to contribute to lemmy as far as I know and trying to contribute to kbin is just a big disappointment (I've been there as well). As for the name, personally I don't care. It is just how it is and nowhere does it say "this is melroys bin" or something like that...

If you don't want to get involved that is fine, but the rumors around him are basically all false...

Well, yes. On Lemmy you cannot follow accounts. However groups (communities, magazines, etc.) do not count as an "account" I think. A chart about the biggest groups would certainly be very interesting as well. And that lemmy does only support a subgroup of the fediverse is imo not a reason to not post this here

Well google doesn't have realtime results. They obviously still have your account on there, because they crawled it propable ages ago... When you click the link though, reddit tells you that this account doesn't exist, so no BS. Just how such things work

I am happy with kagi, so... But I abondoned google a long time ago and basically switched from DuckDuckGo to Kagi

I think it is good to point it out though. kbin.social is missing from the fediverse observer, but if you have a look at this: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/list you'll see that almost all mbin servers have a >98% recent uptime and a >95% uptime over the whole lifetime of the server. Sadly, fedidb does not have an uptime metric

(yes mine is not up there, because it was offline for a week in september last year)

as far as I can tell the demo is Lemmy 😅

Has there been any hate? (honestly asking) I didn't catch any of it. I was just confused as to why one would choose Java for a web app, but other than that I welcome any new platform. Thats exactly what makes the fediverse great

Yes its off. Sometimes its the small things :)
Sadly not this time.

  • I've modified my comment in #248 because it needs investigating and if it is not working than it needs to be fixed/added
  • #694 is mostly done

Both of which are only relevant for magazines/communities hosted on mbin instances. But yes we still do lack moderation features. I am working on it (as you can see the issue and PR are authored by me), but there is just still a lot to do in various different regions

https://kbin.fediverse.observer/kbin.social there you can go to graphs and see the uptime. The overall uptime is actually still quite good with 95.94%, but in recent months it has been a bit rough

I have the 4 and I relly like it. It can't compete performance wise with other phones at the same price point, but the mission is great and you get a long life out of it and good software support.
I am running iodeOS right now and it is just great, couldn't be happier. I am however not running games on it or anything, so not the biggest power user here...

That explains it. Thanks for the clarification

I am a dev and I do not support telemetry

It doesnt have to. It just has to work...

If you have your top bar enabled rhe button disappears. Instead there is a button labeled: "all magazines" on the end in the top bar.

No can do. That would drive prices down and that hurts our economy 🥸
