Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn’t have thought of it straight away at all.

Yeah Relay works still and is going in a subscription model

The exposure is still greater than the zero that currently exists. If only 1% see the stuff from the smaller instances and figure out what’s up, they’ll jump. That’s better than the current near 0. There’s not really a scenario where it reduces the activity here any further, only improves it.

EXACTLY! It only benefits us because it hugely increases the exposure of the fediverse to the outside world so people who ARE interested can merely jump over. It makes the fediverse more interesting for people like me who can “live” here and access the content I want.

Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don’t personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That’s not their decision to make.

Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

Building history one update at a time 😎

Chiming in to swap for 5600, drop the 2 case fans, and switch 3060 to 6700 XT or 6650 XT. There’s games right now that REQUIRE 6 cores

It will still sell by the millions :(

Another similar question: why has executive pay skyrocketed when it’s exactly opposing to (most) companies best interests? Also, you could merely hire a qualified candidate from within the company who is already familiar with how things work and pay them still six figures, but not millions or billions. It seems kind of insane that one person is “worth” that much to a board.

Brilliant insight. They probably are tracking metrics on what will encourage people to buy stuff the most too

I came to the same conclusion as you: why would people buy their stuff if they could just run an unlocker script or edit a config file to give that stuff to them? It’s basically malicious DRM

Square Home is utterly fantastic. For those that have a Fold like me, it’s compatible with that too :D I made it look a lot like Windows Phone because I loved that vibe.

What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn’t it like this stock?

This is what I did with Hades and MCC

Potentially worded a bit abrasively but…kinda yeah. They rely so heavily on fomo, gacha, and other skinner box tricks to keep you playing other than FUN. Just remember what happened to Titanfall 2: "ohhh it was SO FUN it just didn’t have the events and grinding and stuff I wanted >:( "
