Introducing Incremental Social, a community for both players and developers of incremental games! (incremental.social)

Howdy! I'm thepaperpilot, and for the past few months I've been working on something I think the internet doesn’t have enough of right now—a comfy, human-first social media space without ads or corporate interference....

oh wow! congrats on prestiging the incremental gaming community!

i'm a big fan of Free/Libre/Open Source games and that includes a lot of incremental games (Trimps, Structure, AD, Fundamental, etc).
i don't have any accounts on corporate social media (like Reddit/Discord) so a more open incremental game community is a welcome change.
hopefully developers will add a "join Matrix room" button instead of asking you to sign up for Discord.

i started making a little incremental TIC-80 game a while back and maybe i'll actually finish it now that there's a community i can share it with.

@thepaperpilot um... it looks like kbin.social doesn't federate with incremental.social and i can't subscribe to it yet?

It's a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.

You don't need to develop a callous to gruesome scenes if you don't cause gruesome scenes.

"unfortunate situation that they can not change" except by not driving over people at 70mph.

Don't conflate cops with EMTs. The job of EMTs is to save lives.

I asked you to not conflate cops that kill innocent people with EMTs that save people and your response is to conflate cops that kill innocent people with women and children in ukraine? Really?

Stockholm Syndrome isn't a real thing.

“Stockholm Syndrome” was invented by police to discredit a female hostage

If the prime minister told me "You will have to content yourself that you will have died at your post" I wouldn't trust the authorities either. Being a bank teller shouldn't mean you have to die for your employer or for the police.

I've never used inoreader, but Wikipedia lists it as "Freemium". It's not FOSS

Britain paid reparations to the slaveowners and their descendants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837
The last check went out in 2015. So yes, people alive today benefited from this. directly.
If they want to make it fair, they should pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved people and/or take back the money they gave to slaveowners.

Yup. From the article:

Payments of the bonds to the descendants of creditors was only finalised in 2015 when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio by redeeming all remaining undated gilts.

Since 2018, numerous Freedom of Information Act requests have been sent to the British government and Bank of England for the names of those who were paid with the bonds, of which all were denied.

The men can only move 1 square in any direction, while women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal. Clearly this biological difference is why they have separate men's and women's chess tournaments. Also, I hear trans people can double jump.

foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they're both good wayland software, though

@janWilejan@kbin.social avatar

interesting.
the default config file is basically "Drew's preferences watered down a bit for a general audience"
alacritty used to be Drew's preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.

Owncast, a live video streaming platform, has fediverse integration.

PeerTube has a federation problem

With the mass migrations of Reddit users to Lemmy/Kbin, and Twitter now speedrunning its own mass extinction, it seems me that the eventual future of social media is de-centralized. I like how Lemmy is slowing turning out, even if it still has some work to do and growing pains to fix up. It’s still able to inform me of all of...

I think you're missing the forest for the trees here.

PeerTube accounts are for video makers, not video watchers. If I want to watch a PT video, I can do so without an account. If I want to leave a like or comment, I'll do so from my mastodon or misskey account. The reason Peertube servers don't tend to federate with each other is because they don't need to: they federate with mastodon/misskey/pleroma servers for the people who want to watch. (also, the https://spectra.video/about/follows page OP linked seems to ignore non-peertube follows?)

As for finding new videos on PeerTube, I recommend using sepiasearch.org

French Courts Are Giving Protesters INSANE Sentences (www.youtube.com)

French courts have been imposing disproportionately severe sentences for minor offenses, including 10 months in prison for stealing a can of Red Bull and one year for a homeless boy with schizophrenia caught looting a luxury store. The overwhelmed courts rush cases, provide minimal time for defendants, and prioritize punishment...

Why does the thumbnail say "Can = 10 years in prison" while the description says "10 months in prison for stealing a can"? This youtuber does not strike me as a particularly trustworthy source of news lol

the things you like about Reddit didn't exist when Reddit was the new alternative to the enshittification of Digg. KBin is brand new and Lemmy was not much more than a tankie hub until recently.

KBin and Lemmy will build the communities you're looking for over time. The question is: do you want those communities to develop under the shadow of the same algorithms, bots, and content you see on corporate social media, or do you want something new?

For those who don't know, the strategy is called Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish. The phase comes from Microsoft who used this to (try to) crush competing document editors, Java implementations, browsers, and operating systems. Other big tech companies employ similar strategies.

Facebook coming to the Fediverse is the Embrace phase of this process and that makes Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, Misskey, and Akkoma the competitors.
