Some times it's part of the plot, like in comics such as Gwenpool and 8-Bit Theater. But usually, from what I notice, how a character perceives the world around is not explained.
Unfamiliar with it, but in the regard of instances going down, specially after my previous main instance died with no signs of returning (again), if you find any interesting posts even on instances seemingly stable, I think it is a good idea to back up those pages. Personally, I would propose methods like Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and its alternatives like Archive Today, the print to PDF option from browsers, and/or saving a given page as a MHTML bundle.
If, by 100%, it includes 100% of the achievements/trophies, I can only remember Mary Skelter Nightmares¹, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Starbound as games I still enjoy after doing 100%.
¹og version; dunno if the updated version bundled with Mary Skelter 2 has trophies (didn't stop me from finishing it on the Switch, though e.e")
Remedies don't do anything for me, so instead, I try to change my behaviors and mindset. It's hard since it's a tug of war against myself, but I think I am getting better. And as the saying goes, to solve a problem, first the person needs to know he/she has a problem, so I try to keep an eye for potential issues I may have.
Yeah, things like interest of the right holders, contractual limitations and availability of a given media do play a part on getting published on a given platform.
Other than GOG's withering "movies" section, I only remember of two that aren't overly niche, DLsite and Fakku (both mainly porn stores). Maybe Itunes' videos are DRM free, but I haven't tested and still it would break the "no app" condition since it's required for payment and download. Also maybe Itchio and Gumroad have something on videos too, since they don't limit the types of media allowed there, but I have yet to confirm.
GOG tried, but either gave up or wasn't able to keep supporting it (their communication is bad so hard to pinpoint). Now their movies section is just collecting dust, like Humble Trove was in the months before the old model was axed.
There are cases where AppImages aren't viable indeed, like with programs that require ring 0 access. But limitations exist for all formats, so perhaps another good alternative is having multiple versions of a given program, like downloading the equivalent deb package through apt while also keeping the appimage version. It would bloat the storage for a potential automated configuration, but it should help with ensuring compatibility.
One thing I like to have with me is the AppImage version of programs when possible, since they usually work out of the box. Also helps ensuring I don't depend on the availability of whatever package manager the system uses.
If size is of matter, I would imagine it's due to being small, but with great potential for growth and diffusion, instead.
But like you said, and perhaps in a lighter point of view, it may indeed just be that same diffusion picking communities with established cultures already, instead of potential bots and paid actors.
I saw a post earlier today suggesting quite a lot of those political posts may be coming from bots or paid actors. And considering those post more often than not also carry stigmatization and faith-like views, even if it's made by actual users, I think it's still a good call to at least keep a lower tolerance, maybe avoiding the rage-click posts and communities and sticking to more informative posts instead.
Bravely Second and Rat King Adventures. To me, the former is being pretty fun, even more than Bravely Default, at least some 8 hours in, with the only potential problem being levelling feels way too easy. Rat King Adventure is also nice, although I'm not a big fan of roguelikes, and it got me curious since it's rare to find FOSS games.
Never saw it before, but going by its description now, it's the "GNU version of the Firefox browser", so I would presume you can import everything you could between two Firefox installations, like whole profiles and favorites back up file.
Besides being a fresh account with no previous activity, the post looks like one of those old scam/phishing emails, or more modern, an AI text. And besides, not posting the software on a platform more common for the gaming community rises suspicions further.
If you don't mind, I have a suggestion that could help with avoiding running out of stuff to check.
To see the same posts over and over is pretty annoying, me thinks. So while I don't use much lemmy world, when I do, in the lack of a native function, I hide posts through ublock origin.
For example, the link of the OP over at your instance is:
lemmy.world/post/18355071
So I pick the number at the end of the link and add to a custom filter in ubo:

Maybe this helps?

I use it on PC, and from what I just tested on my phone, it seems to work fine.
