it’s because they aren’t talking about users, it’s shareholders. shareholders don’t stand to gain near as much ad revenue from the endless algorithm induced scrolling. executives and shareholders hate chronological feeds, not people

I’m on glitch soc instead of mastodon and I’ve liked it a lot
it pretty much fixes most of my biggest gripes with mastodon and I hide the counters anyway because the number isn’t very important to me

it’s just because the mod tools aren’t where they need to be yet and beehaw does a lot of work to protect minorities. the mods weren’t really happy with having to defederate and they plan on refederating once the tools are better or we get settled in

mindustry is my fav

it’s a crazy good combo of resource management, tower defense, rts, and sandbox creativity

added bonus that it’s open source and even has multi-player

I was considering reddit gold, but with everything I felt the money was better placed in running my own kbin instance. bonus points that other people can use it too :3

found the min/maxer :3
but yeah, if you play the game proactively you can prevent a bunch of the hard choices
I found just playing the game at normal speed with no pause can definitely spice it up and made me feel like a desperate administrator just trying to make everything good enough

awesome post!
just wanted to add that kbin has full support for alt text, so anyone on kbin, please take the little bit of time to fill out the alt text for any images you post
it’s a small bit of work that can make all the difference for someone who needs it

I had a similar experience on my first playthrough
spoiler:
||when the stuff with the mines happened in a new home I was actually devastated for the volunteers||

also somehow the game managed to make me feel cold while I played lol

yeah lol it definitely takes a lot of energy to play
I haven’t played for ages but one of my friends has been playing on it for the first time on my pc and it’s awesome because I basically get to experience it again through him XD

it does a really good job at making the decisions have weight behind them, but it I found they could definitely get pretty depressing

I’m so tired of governments bending over backwards to help billionaires while ignoring average people

I’m so tired of valuing people based on their net worth. these double standards are disappointing and honestly disgusting. I’m disgusted by our current politics and economics

it’s almost as if op was hiding something

no no that can’t be it

“it’s a biological fact” mfs when I exist (I’m intersex)
it’s almost as if they require proof and analysis to back a claim in universities lol

i use kbin because I don’t like lemmy’s devs 🙃
bonus points that it actually deletes things

Obsidian is hella based

I’m using porkbun for my instance and it’s been great
my domain renewal was half google domain’s offering price

this makes more sense if you understand public and private keys

when encrypting a message, there are two keys. the public key can only be used to encrypt and the private key to decrypt. a recipient will put its public key out and a peer wishing to send it a message will use this key to encrypt it. once the message arrives, the recipient can use their private key to then decrypt the message

peer to peer means that the information goes from one “peer” (device) to the other, no middleman

end to end encrypted means that the message is encrypted before transit and is then decrypted at the other “end” once it’s on the recipient’s device. end to end could have a server acting as a middleman, storing these encrypted messages, allowing for chat logs to be stored more conveniently and messages to be sent while one peer is offline.

I have the feeling things are going to get bigger here on fedi196.gay very soon and its quite possible we’ll be taking the meme niche of the fediverse

Rock and Stone to the bone!
