First Play Music, now Play Movies. Hopefully Play Books isn’t next.

I hate it when I forget about my shirt

It probably has a rate limit on it or may even be restricted to their servers

Legendary PC developer says Denuvo is “a punishment to the consumer” (www.pcgamesn.com)

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future,...

I think the best way is to just have basic piracy detection, if someone trips it, then have a message that you can get past appearing guilt tripping them for it lmao

Flax_vert ,

Doesn’t have dark theme tbf

Flax_vert ,

They need to look to Jesus as their rolemodel instead

Flax_vert ,

Literally true

Flax_vert ,

I think it is just monthly, whether you printed or not

Flax_vert ,

If you’re american, use your second ammendment

Flax_vert ,

My instance is .uk, many places use .gg or .io, ironically all of those are British

Flax_vert ,

They are taking it down because they always gave out .ml domains for free. Like just buy a domain, gosh. They only cost like £10 a year

Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web (github.com)

The much maligned “Trusted Computing” idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google’s ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google’s...

Flax_vert ,

Or even if Microsoft edge disables this

    I don’t see how this would be an issue with decentralised media either tbh. Probably a bit more of a headache, but that’s it

    Flax_vert ,

    Eh, it’ll probably just bounce back tbh. With something this big, lemmy.ml can probably convince other fedi admins to migrate everyone’s subscriptions over

    Flax_vert ,

    New domains have been around for a while. The fancy ones are a bit more pricey.

    Flax_vert ,

    Made by people sucking up to reddit.

    Flax_vert ,

    France and Germany also have bloody easy flags. Even the UK cannot get their flag perfect easily

    Flax_vert ,

    A webapp I guess

    Flax_vert ,

    People should just put sexual stuff on R/Place to make it as advertiser unfriendly as possible

    Flax_vert ,

    This is honestly a nice little community on here. Along with BritishSuccess.

    Flax_vert ,

    Wasn’t one of the now deceased founders the creator of RSS and a heavy advocate of open internet?

    Flax_vert ,

    I use Droidcam OBS to link my phone camera up to OBS to use as a webcam. Iriun does the same thing but without the OBS part.

    Flax_vert ,

    Payments with contactless, also has a phone call function and various communication capabilities. Can also save you if you enter in “911” (america) “112” (europe) or whatever your country’s number is into the dialler

    Flax_vert ,

    That’s sensible

    Flax_vert , (edited )

    5 is an absolutely horrible idea.

    1 and 2 are best

    Flax_vert ,

    The whole point of this is that I want my instance to federate with threads. I want to be able to interact with my friends on there from the safety of the fediverse. I don’t want to have Mastodon for Mastodon and Mastodon for Threads. I want Mastodon for the Fediverse.

    Flax_vert ,

    I am a fediverse enthusiast and I am excited for Threads federating. I hope it incentivises Tumblr to federate also and then we actually finally have proper choice.

    Flax_vert ,

    I am. How could they kill the fediverse? If they tried to kill it, it would only return to how things was. Chances are tumblr could join in and then they couldn’t easily extinguish it.

    Flax_vert ,

    But that’s exactly what option 5 would do, tear each other apart.

    Flax_vert ,

    … what? How will defederating help that?

    Flax_vert ,

    But this isn’t a single party. Mastodon and Lemmy and Kbin are well established

    Flax_vert ,

    Mate you are literally a tankie lol, ty for referring me to an anti tankie sub

    I can also see, if it doesn’t exist already, communal ban lists that people can voluntarily apply to their instance. If the ban list gets heavy handed, people won’t use it.

    Flax_vert ,

    Yeah, I signed up for it, they have an option for you to pre-follow people for when they sign up to threads

    Flax_vert ,

    WhatsApp is a messenger. Facebook, Instagram and Threads are social media. Also, Threads is actually by Instagram moreso than it is by Meta (although the distinction isn’t too dramatic, it’s just under the Instagram branding)

    Flax_vert ,

    Don’t see why people are doing this. You’ll just damage the fediverse and discourage meta from federating, granting them their own walled garden that you cannot use without selling your soul to them, which is going to dissuade people from using Mastodon as what’s the point if people on threads cannot see what they have

    Flax_vert ,

    That’s Google, not Meta

    Flax_vert ,

    The thing is, if you wanted to interact with someone on Threads and it wasn’t federated, you’d have to install the app and hand over your data to Meta to interact with them. If it was federated, you could set up your own Mastodon instance and keep all of the data that you don’t want to share.

    Flax_vert ,

    It won’t be a lot more effort. They’d just have to buy another domain and then suddenly bob is their uncle.

    Flax_vert ,

    I’m not defending the app. I have friends on Threads and I want to be able to interact with them without handing my life story over to zuck.

    Flax_vert ,

    Reddit did the same until a few weeks ago tbf. Anything you put on the internet is public, unless it is in a discord server or something.

    Flax_vert ,

    Yeah but it will still give them less of an incentive to join the fediverse in the first place. This kneejerk reaction of blocking them is madness. Instead we should be getting big figures to join the fediverse so that if meta ever chooses to leave the fediverse, they’d be removing their userbase from the content.

    Flax_vert ,

    Meta have shown interest in supporting decentralised networks, such as wanting to create a decentralised metaverse

    Flax_vert ,

    Nobody wants to use two services.

    Flax_vert ,

    I don’t care about the culture of this place. I just want everyone using decentralised platforms so we have more choice. You cannot live without certain platforms like Facebook because everyone you know uses it. If Facebook was on the fediverse you wouldn’t have that problem.

    Flax_vert ,

    But at least we could interact with threads users from the safety of mastodon

    Flax_vert ,

    I just don’t like being tracked, unwelcome UI changes, censorship, etc. The content on Instagram and Reddit are fine.
