I'm just shocked at how bad that offer is, 6 dollars a month just for ad free browsing? Damn. All the other "benefits" seem completely worthless to me.

If Reddit wasn't going downhill I wouldn't mind paying to not see ads - if it helps keep the site running. But 6$/mo is very excessive for what is essentially a forum + link aggregator.
Disney+ for comparison isn't much more expensive and I feel that I get a lot more value out of that, not to mention streaming isn't cheap.
I agree, I'm a happy customer for several years as well. It's not the cheapest service, but it's no-nonsense and reliable.
I pointed my own domain to Fastmail and can use wildcard email addresses (like lemmy@mydomain.com) that all end in my inbox. Also my contacts are synced on the phone with Fastmail using CardDAV support, using the DAVX5 app on Android. It's really nice to have this much flexibility.
I doubt it, Starfield is running on the same engine as Skyrim and Fallout 4 (Creation engine). My PC struggled with Fallout 4 already in some of the denser areas. I can't imagine Starfield running well on any PC considering the scale and visual fidelity, let alone a Steam Deck.
But, let's see when it comes out! Maybe we'll be positively surprised. It really depends how much they manage to get out of their old Frankenstein engine.
First they tell the AI to be unbiased, then they tell it to explicitly be anti-vax, deny climate change, etc.
Guess they didn't like some of the "unbiased" responses.
Assuming people know how to do that, this is preying on those who don't.
It reminds me of all the nagging and lying that MS does, telling people who download other browsers that Edge is better for example. Almost everyone here with a bit of technical knowledge knows that is ridiculous. Now Edge already has 5% market share, more than Firefox though.
There have been a few games where the goal was to make a planet/region habitable again, I've always liked the idea. It's like a reverse city builder.
What the hell? How about leaving such matters to courts? While terrible if true, I'll hold of judging until something is proven. It's too easy to ruin someone's life with false accusations.
With every update Edge gets more and more useless features to sell their own services. Edge is an advertising platform for MS more than anything else.
Firefox on the other hand.. I just install and be done with it.
True, but it's just a new iteration of the same engine. It could be a big change, or not.
It's pretty ironic that this is hosted on a Microsoft owned service. I hope they have a mirror available somewhere
This is really nice, if the protests start to hurt their bottom line, they are going to be much more inclined to listen. I didn't expect these blackouts to do something.
