I don't see how any of this would hold up in court. I'm pretty sure you can't be liable for a new tos for what is essentially new software that you didn't use in your project. This company is clearly run by fucktards who are hoping to prey upon devs that just don't know better or can't fight back.

That flip phone is sounding really nice right about now.

Federated doesn't mean open.

Why wait and not just start a community up?

Just because you give money to someone or something it doesn't make it a charitable organization that doesn't get taxed.

I'd recommend getting off saving your passwords in the browser at all and move to something along the lines of BitWarden and install the appropriate plugins to your browser.

Nobody wants to do that

It's like a potentially abusive spouse, asking their future spouse to waive all rights to seek legal recourse if they beat them in the future. This crap shouldn't be legal.

Someone mentioned above but we have that in Matrix. A great federated messaging service.

I played around with Friendica years ago, it wasn't at the time much to get into. The idea was to setup a Facebook like server that we could use for our family only. Ended up tearing that instance down as we didn't really like it at the time. I'm really excited about Lemmy though, so much so I again, went and setup my own corner of the lemmy-verse. The ideals this is built upon are the ideals that grabbed me into the internet so long ago, freedom and resiliency and the ability to discover something new, not have some algorithm throw it at you. I look forward to seeing this platform continue to grow and being a more active participant in it. Go LEMMY!

That's not Baldurs Gate, it's Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance which is a completely different game that was on consoles. It was an Action RPG as opposed to an RPG.

But it was also great fun. Especially with a friend.

It's a cloud service now, so fully usable via the browser.

Yeah the same conversations have occurred in my household. I think you made the right choice here. I'm a huge gamer myself and developer, not on Roblox. Usually if anything it's me being the lenient one when it comes to games in our home, vice my wife. This is one that I did not allow from day 1 regardless of the age of the kid. It was apparent to be a bad apple to me from my initial looks at it, and has only proven that point over the years. I can't imagine though how hard it is for most parents who are not entrenched in that industry to navigate decisions like that.

HOL?

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.

Oh haha, yeah that makes more sense

I wonder how much of the inability to be profitable is driven by their licensing costs.

I mean it's really just giving you a choice on how you want to support the dev. Either by having ads or paying for the application directly. If either of those are too much then head to another app. There are literally quite a few free apps available,which is fantastic, without ads. Free as in freedom to choose doesn't mean though you should be a mooch and just take and not contribute anything back to the community that you're a part of.

Check out Cobalt Core. Great game in that and vein.

When Chrome came out it was fairly light on resource usage and speedy because of that. Firefox was a resource hog at this time. Chrome now is a show resource hog and Firefox is much peppier overall in my opinion.

Eat them

That statement doesn't really make sense. Especially in this case, the website is a business and a store. A government definitely has the right to take legal action against a physical store operating within it's jurisdiction, so why would the same not hold true for an electronic one?

What is the benefit here in this case? Basically why do we care who upvotes or downvotes something that it needs to be exposed?

What provider is that? I have just of my metadata issues resolved but occasionally I find a season all messed up.

I had to look up astroturfing in this context, so hopefully I got this right. But isn't that just the actual commenting then? Obviously voting could get that comment moved closer to the top when done by the perps in this case but I think it would take the community to also be up voting the comment for it to rise to the top. I also don't think knowing who commented actually fixes this issue nor does it give more ability from an admin perspective to get rid of those comments if that was desired.

I could be missing something though.

You can't really use home valuation here as a comparison. A homeowner cannot just sell a piece of their house to go and buy another one. Doesn't really work like that.

Low Earth, and High Earth orbits.

That makes sense, thanks for the insight!
