NexusMods is a private company with their own conditions for using their services.

You are not entitled to anything on others’ properties, including your ability to speak.

There is no freedom of speech here on lemmy.world either for you, they can restrict and block your posts from being seen by others, still their rights to do so.

This mod "impinge" on NexusMod's rights, it's their private service and they have the right to set conditions on it. One of which, mods cannot remove diversity.

It's as simple as that. The people can go elsewhere to find the same mod or share it among themselves.

As for Iran statement, are you serious? There are people getting murdered in USA for even being non-binary. Even "binary" people are getting shot for being inclusive. Like this one https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/21/us/california-pride-flag-shooting/index.html

It is not entirely data farming, a lot of this is due to use of heavy assets like fonts, frameworks, images, videos, etc. A lot of that is downloaded as part of loading the site initially and then the browser has to render/compute the site's use of JavaScript, CSS, etc.

Fonts and some JS assets are cached by the browsers and CDN to try to minimize redownloading it but it doesn't change the fact that average websites today are much heavier than it was back in 90s.

See how fast this site loads: https://text.npr.org/

Or https://tildes.net/ compared to Reddit.

You are still speaking your opinion on a private site but you don’t get to escape from consequences because others disagree with it.

Nexus Mods is a private site with their own terms of conditions. They are saying no to mods that removes diversity and it is their rights.

People can go elsewhere instead.

The game didn’t have DRM, they added it after ten years.

So buying games that have no DRM doesn’t mean it won’t have it later on.

It's not the first time they banned mods like this. Nexus had the same shit storm last year when they banned Spiderman mods that tried to remove pride flags. It's mentioned in the same article here as well.

The only reason it is getting this much outrage is because of the same reason last time, this is the hottest game on the market right now, just like Spiderman was when it came out for the first time on PC.

Don’t know how to feel about this one.

I would prefer Remedy expand their own IP and encourage people into thinking about Alex Casey instead.

They don’t own Max Payne, Rockstar does. They should buy it back instead of reworking this.

The more I think about it, you're right. I edited it.

Nov 6th for the lazies.

This holidays is packed with a lot of games.

Enjoyed the demo, this is worth to grab if you enjoyed RE:Remake games.

Many people follow specific channels and only look at content from them, not random bullshit teenager videos that show up in the random/new/trending pages. If you only look at these contents, then yes, you're going to get those bullshit annoying videos.

It's the same with Reddit, Lemmy, and others, people follow the specific channels they want and avoid the trending/random/new stuff.

For an example, I follow Digital Foundry channel for their detailed analysis/reviews, The SciShow, Sorted Foods, and so on. I click my subscriptions on youtube and it only shows these high quality content for me. Our family spend hours on these contents. They're not available anywhere else.

I've been slowly pivoting toward Perplexity.AI as the search engine. It basically does what I do, search + find the resources and summarize it but it is automatic with Perplexity.AI.

I rather pay them 20$ because that is saving me time a lot (and time is money in my case). Kagi's search is okay but I can get nearly the same by using ublocklist on Bing or DDG for my use case.
