From what I read on discussions on the matter, apparently the resources needed for instances to talk to individual ones is proportionally much higher.

However, I’d argue most people using the fediverse seem to be fine using medium to large instances, so the impact seems to be a diminishing one.

And agreed it’s a form of independence. Besides and extrapolating from owning what you share, censorship, if/when it happens, at most is done at federation level, not on instance level, meaning it’s much harder for someone to sabotage the single-user for wrongthink or a potential (and if the user is honest, accidental) fuck up.

If they are bots, they’ve been running for well over a decade, close to two perhaps. The other possibility is that Youtube simply historically doesn’t foster in-depth comments.

Grayjay doesn’t allow adding comments to Youtube, only to their own protocol.

To consider the possibility is part of accepting that it will happen, making it much easier to actually happen. First, I think, people should pressure so it doesn’t get to pass, as they seem to be against it. If the worst scenario does come, then people can consider what’s the least bad route of actions.

For signal cords, I get signal switches and make a “tree” of cables, as I have far less screens than devices that use them. For energy cords, I try to keep everything as linear as possible, though that requires either enough space, some creativity for going around objects, or both. Also in places cables have a tendency to spread and I don’t need them separated, I get some small rope to tie them together. For mobile devices, I try to find rigid EVA bags (or whatever’s the name in English) to keep them, as they don’t need to be on constantly and bags if that material are sturdy and absorb impact well, while keeping dust out. And shipping cardboard boxes that are articulated I keep to use as storage chests.

I’ll check later if these are the correct names and if I can’t confirn, I’ll give examples.

Probably Very Little Nightmares and Sea of Stars.

The original post is a bit cryptic about what happened, but if I’m interpreting it right, and sorry if I’m using the wrong legal jargons, but it seems the case for his incarceration was dismissed.

Every story has 3 sides, as the saying goes. Dunno what was the original reason to this tug of war between the two, the OP and the admin, but if the OP’s side is the one closer to the truth, and adding your comment, it reminds me of a few instances where administration has all the devices to become power-tripping, just waiting for the right catalyst.

And about “the largest Mastodon instance”, if it is the one I’m thinking about, not the first user I see someone being banned from there for diverging opinions.

Luckily, at least, decentralized governance allows finding alternatives, or even making them. And widespread adoption of RSS allows following the contents of communities run by power-tripping folks, if the person is willing to endure that.

Though, using the Mastodon example, always worth keeping an eye for instances that are growing too much, for then you have to bend to their visions to avoid ostracization, and by extension such instances weakening decentralization, free speech, and all that.

Kinda busy for a few hours but will check later. Thanks!

Different services from different groups that just allow talking with each other, like emailing a Protonmail user from a Gmail account.

Had heard they could uninstall programs for years now, but never seen a report of that actually being done.

Alas, does Play Protect help in anything? Power users are likely to know what they’re doing, and normal users are likely to be using only the programs Google already sanctioned due to being on Google Play, so I personally can’t see much room for it.

About your question, hard to confirm anything. But with Google existing on an eternal slippery slope, I think it’s safe to say not if they’re doing it, but when.

Answering myself: seems pretty complete indeed.

Though a further question comes to mind, thanks to @Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org’s meme, how do these expenses translate to profits? And further into the tangent, it could be analysed if it’s a trend, or a bubble reading to burst.

Going to read it, but some early questions come to mind, like if they considered the average per-game cost, if they considered standard deviation, if they considered the average income of a developer or from a developer’s country, etc.

On the last one, !pbsod@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 🤭

Indies still seem to tackle such.

Major games, at least by production value or how much they could spend on ads, are usually bland, and/or if carrying a message, it’s dubious at best.

Meanwhile, indies are more free to do what they want, instead of having to follow orders of someone pushing an agenda or that just cares for profit based on brand.

If you’d be willing to sift through, you can find way too many good titles on places like Steam, GOG, and in a surprising quantity even on Itchio, plus other places, sure.

There’s also a community for it here on the fediverse, to those interested: !Ollama@lemmy.world

Also, from my tests, it works decent enough even on Android’s Termux, though a powerful phone seems needed.
