Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)

Internet people: NINTENDO IS DESTROYING ALL EMULATORS raaaaaaaa

Reality: Nintendo sued exactly one emulator that was literally charging people to play pirated games

I can finally follow ZUCC on Mastodon, at last

…does anyone actually have a stereoscopic monitor?

As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

All Elon had to do was stick to the rockets and cars!

But no, he has to go pick fights with random people online and espouse stupid talking points. It’s like a masterclass in killing your personal brand.

What did you think of the second one? I liked how it was open world, though the story itself left a lot to be desired IMO

Attitudes like this are much worse for the health of the Fediverse, IMO.

A popular instance with users and content? Kill it immediately, we can’t risk people actually using the Fediverse.

The sad part is that if this goes through, no more credit card rewards.

That’s the tragedy of the commons, and you’ll find it’s true for basically every possible societal organization.

Literally a Unicode character:

It’s using the MLMYM frontend, which you can actually use via the official MLMYM website with any instance. For example, here is it pointing to lemmy.ml:

https://mlmym.org/lemmy.ml/

It’s another frontend – specifically, it’s this: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

You actually did it! Amazing! Thank you so much!

Disagree — while the larger communities tended to get kind of lame, Reddit’s smaller communities were quite worthwhile. I want that to continue, just not on Reddit.

This is a great idea, Voyager’s mobile experience is super polished.

Long shot, but would it be possible to get Mlmym installed at old.lemmy.world? Would be a fun throwback!

Not sure if you mean “engineers in general” or “engineers who specifically work on Lemmy.world”, but assuming it’s the former, I’m working on building a self-generating webcomic.

It’s always been my dream to create a website that can completely self-populate with pointless content, and soon my dream shall be a reality.

Let’s consider your email example – I don’t like a lot of stuff Google has done. By your proposed rules, should, say, ProtonMail block all emails from Gmail to prove a point?

I remember it well, and I was annoyed by it!

But in the end, I’d argue Google dropping XMPP simply restored the status quo: XMPP went back to being the same niche thing it was before Google started supporting it.

The Fediverse is just a term for “social networks that use ActivityPub”

Imagine if Facebook offered RSS feeds. That’d be nice right? It wouldn’t ruin anyone’s experience if they started supporting an open standard like that.

Supporting ActivityPub is no different. It will let people on third party clients connect to Facebook properties. Don’t want to do that? You don’t have to!
