They claim that they don’t link/save your search history so although they have your details for payment, technically it’s not linked. If they aren’t lying…

You’re accusing Cory Doctorow, the guy who invented the phrase “enshittification”, of making a blog post that’s really an advert…? Really???

If you replaced “company” with “monopoly” in your last sentence, I agree.

Also it depends what’s driving that attitude… if it’s an ethos from Gabe then great but he won’t be around forever… what happens when he dies/retires?

Many companies have started with great ethics that went out of the window when the founders moved on, and Steam is in a fantastic position to enshitify if it wanted to.

Fingers crossed on Larian getting a licence for Traveller…

Nice ad hominem…

He was also creative director for the original Ultima Online game and Star Wars Galaxies… both awesome and innovative MMOs at the time…

Playing devil’s advocate, I’d argue the in the wild community testing is more likely to uncover an edge case that the formal testing didn’t envisage…? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Market cap of Nintendo - 50 billion Market cap of Microsoft - 2.4 trillion

From what he’s said he’s not abandoning it but I guess it won’t advance much or as quickly… he’s only just said so we don’t really know if and how it’ll impact things

Same here, currently using Avelon and pretty happy with it… Voyager dev recently announced he’ll be working on it less going forward which may or may not be an issue 🤷🏻‍♂️

Both definitely feel like using “Apollo for Lemmy” though 👍

It’s weird with Big Bang Theory, when it first started me and my friend circle loved it, thought it was brilliant but yes it did lose something after a few seasons.

But online everyone just seemed to hate it - could it be because we’re British and it just landed better with us…?

Original Scrubs was one of the best shows ever made in my opinion - great cast and chemistry, genuinely funny whilst also bringing in the drama and tragedy of a hospital and it’s patients, great writing, kept up momentum until the end (the original end not the crap that come after), great acting, one of the most faultless TV shows ever made.

Depends on the communities… quite often they consist of one or two users (or bits) reposting old or current Reddit posts.

And certainly for more niche topics the communities tend to be dead.

Quite often there is little commenting or conversation.

The communities with the most conversation seem to be about Lemmy and the Fediverse…

But yes there are a couple of decent communities in my Home feed, but the whole needs to grow to get it to a tipping point where it provides an active and diverse (in topics and conversation) community.

I’d like to know how that’s even remotely compliant with the ECHR???

This is genius 😂
