Pretty sure folks are referring to streaming sites meaning like Netflix. The person you are responding to said “click and go” referring to services like YouTube and Hulu not sketchy “streaming” sites like what you are describing that require some hoops to go through to make sure.you don’t download a virus.
Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently
This will just push websites to change the orders and names of their query params (maybe regularly).
I don’t think one can safely omit all query params from all sites and expect a decent experience across all websites.
You are fighting a good fight, I salute you, but query params (the part of the url where the identifiers are included) are a valid and core part of Internet addresses. Trying to strip them away universally will only work for so long.
I think that’s why you haven’t found a tool that meets all your needs yet, because many sites have legitimate uses for those params that don’t include tracking. You’ll probably need tools designed specifically for Amazon and other specific websites/services.
I mean the game came out in 2012. It’s not really that absurd to base ones licensing contracts for 14 years when the medium (games) generate the vast majority of their revenue in the first months.
Most digital products have an end of life. I agree that the whole digital ownership part isn’t fair, but I don’t think a 14 year selling window due to licensing is the part to be mad at.
That’s kind of hilarious since 20 years ago, western gamers were rejecting games for being “too anime.”
Today too! I’m still not really interested in the anime art style. I’m glad the enjoyers do have lots to choose from though.
Rae Drummond has a reported net worth of approx $65m as of last year.
The top 1% of United States net worth starts at $12m. She is just inside the top 0.1% of us net worth which starts at $62m.
Uhh what? There’s no American tax website to login into to “verify” things were handled right. One still has to do a decent amount of work copying data into third party for-profit company web forms.
While it’s easy for some to manage, it’s by no means a simple process compared to what some other countries offer
I’ve jumped in a few times since they started letting people play years ago! I’m a big fan and am eager to give 1.0 a whirl.
I like how they are embracing the solo vs trading play style and leaning into rewarding both types of players uniquely with power for that choice.
Arpgs like Diablo or pathofexile are my “will always play” games. Like you I’ve played the mmos, shooters, and others and feel like I’ve “finished” those genres and am satisfied not going back unless with friends.
It’s both a nice feeling but also a sad one. I still follow fps games and watch videos of them, but playing them… Meh
So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn’t make LW content appear (as they were offline).
The issues today feel largely the same as a user, though less frequent. Am I misunderstanding?
If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won’t it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?
If I join another instance and lemmy.world is down, it’s not like I can see the communities on lemmy.world.
Joining another instance as a user doesn’t solve the problem that lemmy.world has bad uptime outside of the scope of reducing the load on LW itself
My understanding of how xmpp has progressed is exactly what you think ActivityPub needs. Xmpp is still alive and still continuing to drive for further technological standards and classification.
Google essentially dropped xmpp b/c it was such a slow progressing standard that was focused entirely on the technological progress and that march towards standardization and specification.
objectively be more secure in terms of data privacy
Please elaborate how email would be objectively more secure if you could block Gmail.
You can already block Gmail today from any other provider by putting a filter on incoming @gmail addresses. How does that make email more secure?
This thread isn’t about kbin though. We don’t need to clutch pearls about other services on fediverse when discussing what happens with Lemmy instances.
But this is true for literally anything that requires email verification to login with?
I think msft is scummy here but let’s not pretend it’s unusual that a company isn’t going to help you if you can’t access your email to verify your ownership.
If I lose access to my Gmail account and am unable to login to Amazon bc of that Amazon ain’t going to help me.
Is that actually a real RSS feed? I see that the Feedly reader can scrape reddit searches… huh
only see them half the year is a normal reaction
Being pedantic here, but most custody arrangements are like this anyway.
Obviously, half the parents being overseas makes that significantly harder and probably untenable for most.
Why do I/ society need to detox because you have attention problems? How does your similar-to-adhd affect me? How does my phone usage affect you?
Sounds like you are the one who needs to detox… but those are your words not mine.
Idc if you need six different stimuli to function, it doesn’t affect me. If it affects you, you should change you
You do realize those are usually exclusive for only a year, right? So EGS pays them out for a year of exclusivity and then the devs are free to launch on steam and others.
The thing is, often if they don’t get that first infusion of cash from a deal with EGS (or another investor) they don’t get to complete or even launch the game at all. So it never would make it to the other markets.
