Is great until you need a job. It solves the 2 language problem right up until you’re working with others.

Nah. So long they remain the largest comoanies in tech, the FAANG companies have an endless buffet of overconfident and naive new grads to feast on. Entitled kids who will excitedly walk through the door and proudly display their comoany golf shirts to anyone they can trap in a corner while explaining how they’re remaking and reinventing ways to squeeze and manipulate customers in the name of shareholder value.

YouTube has been an alt-right pipeline for a very long time now. If you so much as smell right-leaning content in the next room, it wilk start serving you truck loads of right wing and alt-right recommendations.

The canon is anything that appears in the games. There are clear timelines between many of the games, asserted within the game text or game subtext.

Producers have gone on record echoing what’s states in the HH, both before and after it was published.

Do not mistake the canon for something the producers and designers feel in any way bound by. That’s not what the term means when discussing media.

If it’s still 9 months away, there’s no real reason to announce it publicly before the Christmas season. The fact that the original Switch’s sales are flagging is not a reason to announce, since it’s not launching in time for the holidays. Its announcement isn’t going to spurr Switch 1 sales.

When it’s announces will be entirely deoendent on when retailers need to know launch details. Once it’s outside of Nintendo, they’ll have to announce things publicly or risk losing control over the narrative.

Weirdly enough, language largelt evolves independently from other species.

“The government needs to stop people from doing a capitalism, but it had better not stop anyone from doing a capitalism, that would be tyranny.”

I think a significant issue here is that Reddit is not built for fostering communities, and things that mimic Reddit will not foster them, either. The whole model is built around an endless number of very large, single subject discussion spaces with functionally no globally consistent moderation or oversight.

This is a model of content categorization and filtering for individual consumption, not community building. Lemmy “communities” are just content tags, they’re not real community spaces. They’re never going to encourage the kind of tight knit spaces with idiosyncratic customs, rituals, and rules that actual vommunities have. They’re never going to let you get to know others because “off topic” discussions are meant to be had in entirely different spaces.

Reddit and reddit-like services are about content creation and delivery, noy community. Thatms baked into the form.

Then the OP just rented the software.

Adobe should pay more than the inflation-adjusted price - multiples of it, even - so that the repayment is actually punative.

Publicly traded companies are not compelled by law to maximize profits. That’s a long standing myth.

Every community needs moderators it seems and here it seems they need to be KDE contributors

Those don’t really seem like related skillsets. Community managers aren’t usually asset contributors.

I don’t think the USA is at the point where we should all worry about arbitrary arrests.

“All” may not need to worry, but there are plenty of people who do experience them.

Let the free market run its course and let pirate sites compete with streaming services to improve their services.

Hate to break it to you, but regulatory capture is the free market running its course.

Karma is a net negative for actual community creation and meaningful discussion.

Discord has no uses that isn’t already covered by other options, though. Their biggest feature is publicity.

Host the project in a country where IP laws don’t give Nintendo any teeth.

They have a whiff of the possibility of AIG becoming a reality.

They also had a wiff of NFTs letting them sell and claim royalties on JPEGs. This isn’t about some grand vision if humanity’s future, it’s about becoming the next Silicon Valley billionaire, or dethroning the richest man in the world. If the next big tech get-rich-quick scheme comes along, the novelty of their very expensive autocomplete and JPEG mashup projects will be dead, and they’ll take their dollrs on to the next fad.

He’s looking at this as an echo of past Silicone Valley bubbles. It so much more than that.

Citation-fucking-needed.

No one owns ActivityPub

No, but they can become the biggest, most influential voice in how it contimues to develop.

The methods of regulatory capture work well beyond regulatory bodies.

Importantly, “vote with your wallet” is also straight up enabling discussion where those who have the most dollars have the most votes is taken for granted.

This is not how we want to run a society. We can already see the results of it, and they’re incredibly not good.

This is, on the whole, a good thing. One should be able to have access to their politicians via piblicly accessible means, and the fedi is exactly that.

It’s a giant shame that it’s still being moderated by a tech billionaire, though.
