After Valve says no, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Rock Galactic devs unite to get "very serious" about their very silly demand for a dwarf tag on Steam, and they want your help

    • App Store to Be 'Split in Two' Ahead of EU iPhone Sideloading Deadline

    Jump

  • Moves like this always assume that location equals citizenship. As an EU citizen living in North America, a move like this means that I would not get the remedy that Apple legally owes me (or would owe me if I owned an iOS device)

    The main thing I've been sideloading on Android for a decade is a fan implementation of the Dominion card game called Androminion. It was trademark cease and desist removed from the Play Store a decade ago, but you can still get the apk on Github

    There's a couple other things. One big gap in both the Google and Apple stores is the complete absence of adult content. I'm amazed there's not more of a clamour for adult apps among either userbase, given that most people don't own a normal computer. Sideloading could plug that gap

    • Seasoned RPG devs from Obsidian and Bioware blame the temporary death of the isometric CRPG on 'vibes-based forecasting' from retailers

  • The combat has to be turn-based or it becomes an ARPG like Diablo/Dungeon Siege/Titan Quest/Torchlight

    • will the fediverse stop existing??

    Jump

  • Not sure if you are trolling, but no

    Meta is joining the Fediverse not because it needs the people currently on the Fediverse, but because it needs a regulatory figleaf to protect itself from monopoly charges. At Meta's scale, there are 0 users on the Fediverse right now. There is no market benefit to getting Fediverse people to move to Meta

    What Meta gets out Threads/Fediverse compat is that suddenly Instagram is not technically a walled garden with platform lock-in, so while the number of people who'll migrate from Instagram Threads to the Fediverse is going to be tiny they suddenly look a lot less like a mean monopoly to regulators

    At some point they might remove the Fediverse compat. The people currently screaming about embrace-extend-and-extinguish because Meta is joining will then scream about bait-and-switch even though they've had Threads defederated the whole time. The Fediverse will still be there. That's the cycle of life

  • If you don't find the humour funny, it's not going to work for you. It's half humour, half love letter to trek. Star Trek meets Futurama

    To some extent, the characters have to be hyper and heightened because they have to fit a Star Trek episode in under half an hour

    • [Facebook] Messenger is finally getting end-to-end encryption by default - The Verge

  • Is it going to be like Whatsapp end-to-end encryption where they just rolled out a 4-digit pincode for "backups" on their servers as the third end?

  • The appeal of the "we could have been a contender" fantasy for Microsoft is the idea that they'd be printing money by collecting the 30% tax on apps and in-app purchases. If they were 100% dependent on Samsung, they'd be printing at least 50% less money
