  • The PC gaming community alone would kill this plan. Data caps make game steaming for long periods untenable and Valve has explicitly been focusing on Linux and Proton for the last decade to try and prepare for Microsoft doing something like this. Apple just released their game conversion toolkit or whatever that shows promise for (relatively) quick and easy ports of Windows games to M2 Macs. Having a streaming connection to play games would be laughable to anyone in the eSports community and would immediately result in companies abandoning Windows.











  • They have a definition, they just won’t tell the users because it’s not a realistic definition and they plan to pull the rug out later on.

    If third-party apps were only 3% of total traffic and reddit was willing to destroy its image and massively increase the viability of its only competitor just before IPO over it, I’m sure they’ll have no problem getting rid of whatever percentage of blind people who can’t see the ads reddit wants to serve anyway.



  • You’re safe from the big bad scary communists on Lemmy.

    Kbin.social doesn’t defederate lemmy.ml, so either way we’re playing by their “don’t say Uyghur genocide because we don’t think it’s real and we will ban you based on that belief” rules if we accidentally stumble into there.

    This is where I would like to see individual-level instance blocking so that it doesn’t show up in the home feed, same as how I can block everything that pops up in a language I don’t speak.

    Edit: Turns out we have that! Just found another thread showing how. On kbin, it’s possible to view entire instances separately, and there’s a “block” button similar to individual magazines/communities/users. To see lemmy.ml, the link would be

    https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml

    but replacing the lemmy.ml part with any instance should take people to that instance just the same.
