Oh, for sure. I just think it’s funny.

Ironically, .ml seems to be blocked in China.

Oh, cool. That one flew completely under my radar. I’ll have to check it out when I have time.

Are there mobile apps yet? Because if no that’s one huge advantage Lemmy still has over Kbin/Mbin, and it’s why I switched to Lemmy when Artemis started having issues (it went down completely since) instead of going back to Kbin.

The hardware team made a device that just couldn’t be turned into a good product no matter what the software team did. None of those AI-in-a-box devices are good products because they simply don’t have a reason to exist. Everything they can do, phones can do. If you have a phone, you don’t need one of those AI boxes, however if you buy one of those AI assistant things, you’ll still need a phone (which, again, can completely replace the AI box with no loss in functionality).

Lemmy doesn’t have a left-wing bias as much as it has a far-left and authoritarian bias. Though this heavily depends on instance. Continental European instances tend to be far more moderate than Anglo-dominated instances, probably because at least parts of continental Europe have actual experience with real socialism.

One individual action is. Ten thousand are not.

uBO can bypass it too, if you don’t want to have to deal with old.reddit on mobile.

Because phones got expensive. If a teacher confiscates a phone and drops it/it gets stolen from them, who’s going to pay for it? At least that’s the explanation my teachers gave around 2010 or so, when they announced they’d no longer confiscate phones.

They intentionally decided to reinvent the wheel instead of using and contributing to ActivityPub. I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Wikipedia is run by a nonprofit. They don’t monetise volunteer contributions and they don’t paywall the knowledge on their site, they run on donations. It’s not really a comparable situation.

Do they pay the people who answer the questions? I genuinely don’t know. But if they don’t then, yes, it is scummy to just profit off of someone else’s work and not pay them.

There’s a couple of mods to that end, though I can’t vouch for them. I’ve been meaning to try them out but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

And here’s one for paladins specifically. Again, I have not tested any of these myself.

Appât faible, pote.

It’s almost certainly going to be litigated at some point, so a court is going to define “essential”… eventually.

I usually don’t, I’d like to but I generally don’t have the time for it. But many people do play on launch day, as you can see looking at the player charts on Steam. You can’t say “gaming on Linux works, you don’t need Windows” and then have all these little caveats. For the vast majority of people something either works when they click “Play” or it doesn’t work at all. This is an enthusiast community, but most people just aren’t that.

And I’ll admit that I didn’t recheck Starfield before commenting. Nice to see, it was a no-go on Nvidia initially.

No, especially AAA releases usually do not, or least not right away. For example according to ProtonDB Starfield (and yes I know, most people here don’t like it - but I do) still doesn’t work reliably, especially not on Nvidia cards. And no amount of indie puzzle games makes up for AAA titles working hassle free and on day one for the vast majority of users.

To Firefox, sure. But if you’re on Windows and your preferred alternative is Chrome you really might as well stay with Edge and benefit from the integration into Microsoft’s ecosystem. Either way your data is being harvested.

No idea then. I use adblock on all of my devices, but sometimes things slip through. And I sometimes click on one of those SEO fake “articles” that are really just ads when I’m searching for something.

Today. The entire city is filled with billboards and posters.
