ah! I didn’t know that. I was actually thinking about Diablo though and all my other bnet games. I think they won’t send out steam keys… I’d like to make them easier to play on the Steam Deck.
this is basically not understanding what “risk” means. if you have a 1% risk of developing cancer, and by doing something (ie drinking) you double relatively-wise that risk, it’s still only 2% of risk. would you stop drinking and enjoying alcohol and living a happier life for a mere 1%?
all the numbers I’m using are totally random, but it shows that saying “it increases the risk” although technically correct doesn’t mean shit and it’s just fearmongering and a basic inability of understanding information.
because there’s not just beehaw and lemmy.world. there are thousands of instances and there’s no way to know them all, unless you or someone else knows that instance and searches for it.
oh man, I’d kill to know how to hack my fucking samsung tv. I don’t use it’s useless “business” smart functions, but every time i turn it on it nags me with that terrible menu. and there’s no way to turn it off because they completely fucked it up by pushing ads through that menu.
I don’t think this would be impossible to do. but for sure you would never get all the communities of ALL the instances… but only of those already connected with your instance.
I think, for how Lemmy is structured right now, you wouldn’t see all the communities, but just those that other users in your instance already searched for. there’s no automatic global directory for communities, and I think it would be impossible to do given the decentralised nature of the fediverse.
what it could be done though, is that each instance maintains a manifesto of all their communities, and updates all their connected and federated instances with the updated list. I doubt Lemmy is doing this now, but it could be good food for future features.
also, when posting a comment, I HATE that you can swipe down to go back. I was typing very long comments twice and both times something got stuck, I swiped down to go back to the beginning of the text and instead it went back and completely deleted my comment. infuriating.
is this the same Toyota that’s actually lobbying the US government against the switch to EVs? Is this the same Toyota who had the clear advantage in EV technology but squandered it all just to keep on manufacturing thermal engines?
This is another shitty tactic, don’t believe them.
I’m going back to Reddit from time to time to check the situation and read some micro-communities that i follow and that did not jump the ship.
I gotta say that my previous feed was deeply tailored between interesting discussions, tech and gaming news and some meme and futile discussion (like askmen or aita).
right now, that fine calibrated feed has become an uninteresting mess of memes, reposts and low-quality content. I see that users are still there because upvotes are still high, but it’s not as interesting as it was before.
this might very well be my own perception based on who i followed, but I got the feeling that reddit got taken over by people who only enjoy low-quality content, kind of like facebook, where I used to enjoy discussions with my friends and now it’s just ads and influencers.
