I have good news for you:

That’s most likely due to low rankings. Lemmy doesn’t prevent it.

My guess: The kids who used Discord for gaming grew up, and just went with the familiar thing when starting new communities and projects.

Also, Discord did heavy marketing early on, until it carved out a network effect. So here we are.

On the bright side:

Aggressive garbage collection and automatic thread locking are optional settings in most web forum software I’ve seen.

Lemmy shares some of the important parts of Usenet, and could develop into something that comes close.

• Terrible format for archiving knowledge
• Terrible tool for retrieving knowledge
• Locks community access behind a corporate license agreement
• Hands control of community-created content to a corporation
• Prevents indexing by web search engines
• Antithetical to interoperability
• Privacy-hostile

A web forum is far better in most cases. If you can’t manage to run your own, there are plenty of lemmy servers that will do it for you. Even an email list (with searchable archives) would be better than Discord.

If you have collaborative documents that outgrow the forum format, use a wiki.

If real-time chat is needed, irc or matrix.

A project hosting its community on Discord is a project that won’t get my contributions.

The art style reminds me of Scavengers Reign.

he’s gone off the rails in the last 6-12 months - complaining about needing more linux devs

It’s also ironic in light of his history of loudly bashing linux and linux game development.

I can’t think of anything good to say about Tim Sweeney.

I might give Backpack Battles a try. It doesn’t look like my usual style, but I heard there’s some good strategy under the surface, and I like that it’s made with Godot.

This is true in C, but not in D.

Sid Meier’s Pirates! is a wonderful mix of exploration, sea battles, romance, swordplay, trade, and subterfuge.

Tropico 2: Pirate Cove is one that I’ve only played briefly, but I remember it having a fun style that made me want to try it in depth some time.

“Innovative smartphone surveys?”

Please.

So with normal use it should be fine for a few decades.

Considering that “normal use” can be so very different among different people/applications/climates, I don’t put a lot of stock in assessments like that, but it is at least one prediction to compare against when we see what happens in practice. Time will tell.

I’m curious how long the current gen OLED consoles will be in use before they develop screen burn-in.

Or by people formerly paying for their internet service with money that should have been going toward food or heat.

Losing the $30 monthly discount could force families to choose between broadband and other necessities,

Exactly.

It’s also important to note that some ISPs created a low-cost service plan specifically for ACP. (It’s reasonable to assume this was possible in part because ACP handled income verification and eliminated the costs of individual billing and credit card payments.) That plan will likely disappear if ACP goes away, leaving poor people stuck paying a bill much higher than the program ever paid.

Please let Geralt have responsive movement and sensible object targeting this time.

I don’t know whether I would be comfortable murdering pokemon, but if the gameplay turns out to be great, I would give it a try. I think I’ll wait on this one until it develops a bit and there are enough reviews to balance out early adopter (dev friends & family) bias.

*r34 ;)

dedent() can help with that.

I meant that I ought to use it for its intended purpose after all.

(But yes, I would still like the option of replacing the OS.)

I bought one during the clearance sale for the price of shipping, assuming that it would be abandoned but maybe still useful as a low-power linux server. I guess I ought to set it up and take advantage of it.

Thanks, Valve, for not letting these things become instant e-waste.
