Sounds like someone needs to make a community for that.

Otherwise, this is what technology is these days. And I’d say that staying blind to things like this is what got us into many messes.

I remember when tech news was mostly a press release pipeline. And when I see these comments, I see people who want press releases about new tech to play with.

Now duplicate posts. Those can fuck right off.

I wish it used the native share sheet too. On iOS it always feels like it’s done this way out of spite. To avoid the native UI. It’s funny that the same thing is done on Android.

Are you sure the asset said “game ready”?

Damn. Thats impressive.

I want to start using this.

I thought awards were fine. Though I used Apollo, and it tastefully displayed them and never had giant highlight boxes around comments or any other adornment nonsense.

In smaller communities they had symbolic value. In massive ones it was kinda just noise. But like I said, not really an issue on Apollo.

huh, I opted into the new layout months ago. I got use to it quickly.

Edit: I went back to discord to find the server tray/drawer the beta had disappeared. If this is the final version, I’m surprised people are upset. The drawer was the most radical change.

It’s a small lemmy.world.

Oooo. Will it be automatic? Or do you need to pass a flag?

It was already in bad health. That’s not a good combination with COVID.

What a drive did you go with?

That’s a good point about how I mitigated the worst aspects.

I have a similar feeling about Twitter. I hate algorithmic status/tweet timelines. But I never had them, due to third party clients. So I was in a different world when it came to Twitter.

And I think we just fundamentally disagree about the value of the awards in smaller communities. It does not matter to me if they had value for sorting. They had social value.

Most awards were anonymous afaik, or at the least the awarder name was not prominent or important to anyone. So the idea it was a badge to puff up the awarder does not hold weight for me.

Makes me think of the Power Mac G4 Cube.

Yeah. It used EAC. EAC is supported on SteamDeck. They moved away from it.

The way people use Discord is similarly odd sometimes. Times are a changing.

I knew this was Ian Bogost before I clicked the link.

So Rossmann is a lobbyist for an activist billionaire?

I think right to repair is important btw. Not questioning that.

I’ve never heard of it before either. It doesn’t seem weird to me. Just, the assertion that it’s overwhelmingly common does not sound right.

It would be neat to know precisely what parts are expensive. Broad generalizations about how prices on goods go up and down aren’t quite as interesting. 😅

He’s always felt off to me. And it’s not just because I’m into Apple products. I find it hard to articulate. But I see I’m not alone, thanks for sharing.

The updated graphics do look super pretty. This is a classic, and if this keeps new people playing it into the future that’s awesome.

I think of remasters/remakes like this like I do brand new 4k HDR remasters of classic movies. Since they are shorter focused narrative games.

You just described why subscriptions are rampant in the software industry.

We use to have upgrade pricing and paid major revisions for software. But things changed to progressive models. And then things like what you described came along over extended periods of time.

Major security/privacy holes in any technology should cause “recalls” too. 🤔

I forgot about all those extra aspects.

That sounds icky in the hand…

Seems like ColorWare style painting is a better option. (But much more expensive.)

I agree. And I see why umbrella terms are wanted. I just think framing things around being safe for work, of all things, and then solving from there for other terms, is childish and bizarre.

Not much changed. There is a very vocal minority.

“Apologies for the oversight, here is the corrected version that includes what you were asking for…”

Wild!

Ah, that’s good to hear.

Both labels are childish. We need new ones that are not that way.
