I’m not a celebrity :D

For me it’s the same. Not sure why you’re seeing that

That was clear from the article as well, where they said they took the opinion of 150 bootlickers moderators

Digg still exists. Death of websites is rarely a complete shutter, but usually more of a steady decline into obscurity

I think it can be, but only as a role playing experience.

You sound like you will like the mechabellum video game. Even provides a 4pl ffa mode that you can play with your bg group.

But if you’re into low apm rts, I can’t suggest Beyond All Reason enough.

Also, thoughts about Arcs?

Given that automaytic has coutersued already, I think it’ll happen

I play all actually. 1v1 when alone. 2v2 when I can get my buddy. FFA when I want to do it for the memes. I had like 8 hours in FFA last weekend, but got a bit disappointed in it because who tends to win is the one with the meme build sitting on the other side of me that their neighbours never try to counter. Like someone won with 16 hackers in my last game. Cmon.

It’s like fucking crack to me. It’s bad…

Actually Digg wasn’t fast either. There were multiple exoduses from Digg throughout a year or more. And you also have to remember that Digg was multiple orders of magnitude smaller than Reddit is today. That gives Reddit a ton more momentum before the trust thermocline is breached.

There was never a viable alternative before now.

These kind of comments remind me of the days before the digg exodus

Funny, because statistically it seems to be doing fine.

Only superficially

Almost looks like genai. @aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me a galloping horse whose body is a coal locomotive train from the 19th century style: flux

The peeps focusing on finding out scheming prompted an llm to generate scheming. Yawn This is the only surprising if you don’t know that llms are fancy autocompletes.

While I agree there’s a responsibility for combating misinfo, you can’t rely on nation states to decide what is misinfo. Authoritarians do and will abuse this to silence criticism of their regimes.

I don’t know un-installed it after 2 games. I wanted to like it, but the shooting was boring, and I can’t be bollocksed to study 3 pages of items.

Lol @ the absolute delusion on display here.

counterpoint: If developers aren’t forced to “eat their own dogfood” it becomes difficult to see some issues and know what to prioritize.

I also asked among the contributors if you should accept any form of money or NLnet funding or anything in that regard. Our common conclusion was: NO. Because we are doing it for fun, asking money will only create a situation were you might even feel more obligated.

In regards to NLNet, you should know how it works. NLNet doesn’t give you money upfront and then expect stuff. You decide on a list of tasks to do and then complete them on our own time and get paid for each you complete. This reduces the pressure, as you can choose to handle these tasks as frequent as you want.

Then again. with NLNet getting defunded by EU, it’s likely most new can’t receive funding anymore.

Recently, a very dedicated contributor did left Mbin sadly without any announcement. This person is still being missed to this day

Man, I know the exact feeling. We had a similar case in our FOSS project of a valuable contributor going suddenly MIA, even blocking us out of pypi in the process. It hurts.
