What is the threat? Isn’t it good that the fediverse is becoming more mainstream? If thread users can communicate with us, it will be easier for them to join us.
It’s only my personal point of view, but have you ever seen how does a Meta user usually communicates? Can you imagine a moderating an instance where you suddenly get an influx of 3 billion users? None of them will ever create an account outside of the Meta ecosystem, and will only bring problems to most of the other instances, while making any kind of moderation a living hell.
The threat mainly is a corporation looking to assert itself within the fediverse in an attempt to kill it’s growth with eventual incompatibilities. Personally, I don’t have a dog in this fight, but it’s been interesting to watch.
512KiB for a game ? Pfffff In the 80’s they ran Elite on a computer that have half of that on RAM A game that simulated the economy of galaxies and rendered 3d graphics !
It’s an impressive game, 100%, but I don’t think the comparison is quite so straightforward. Pokemon had only 8 KB working RAM, 4 shades of colour, and the cart only had 373 KiB stored on it. But the GameBoy CPU was over double the speed of the of the BBC Micro or the Acorn Electron.
Both are really impressive games for their size; though Elite’s no doubt more impressive for its time given Pokemon Red/Green released after 5 years of development to an already quite aged handheld, and ended up undergoing a full revision to patch out the bugs with Pokemon Blue version a half year later.
I think the real king is ET, a multicolor game with a layered gameworld, and detailed graphics on just a 1.2MHz CPU, 128 bytes of RAM, with less than 6KB on the cartridge. The game made a few mistakes that cost it any recognition, but it’s a really impressive game given its hardware and time.
Hey! That’s a more proportional discount than u/Spez applied to reddits API changes when he assured Christian that they would come to a price that was “based in reality”
Yep, I talked about this on Reddit a couple weeks ago. They started putting filters against Lemmy instances up almost as soon as people started talking about moving. They started with small instances, but now they’re moving on to the larger ones.
I had to use kek.gg just to share a link to my new community to the old subreddit.
Edit: Is this really a three-year-old thread or is something wrong? If it is, how did it end up at the top of my “hot” feed!?
