exactly this, they can control what is on it, give their journalists, shows, etc accounts and it being a self contained hub for everything bbc, while interacting with rest of the fediverse.
Im guessing they will also get more statistics and information from hosting it themselves as well. its a no brainer.
You don’t need to use loads. You can access all communities across all servers just using your single lemmy.world account (except beehaw)
Yeah, its sad. one more place dead
Overreaction much? Threads isn’t even federated yet.
Worry about bolting the door once the horse is actually heading towards the stable.
half the population voted for Trump
As a Brit, I can honestly say that neither I, nor anybody I know, voted for Trump. I’m pretty sure vast swathes of Germany, France, India, Senegal, did not vote for him either.
Russia… maybe…
I think long term its a “big deal”, but in the shorter term, the amount of panic among people who are actively switching to another instance because the instance they are on has not blocked threads yet is kinda ridiculous.
I am not leaving lemmy.world for another instance because they have not instantly blocked threads (who don’t even have connection set up to the fediverse in a way that lemmy can share content)
So in the short term (like today, this week, this month) it is not a big deal.
In the longer term it is a big deal and worthy of discussion.
But, because someone says “I am demanding lemmy.world unfederate from meta in the next 24 hours or I leave” does not mean they support Meta on the fediverse :D
There is no indication that they never will de-federate from Meta.
All they have said is rather than shutting the stable before the horse bolts, they are actually waiting for the horse to get in the stable first and then address if the door needs closing.
There really is no need to either defederate from meta, or make that decision right now anyway
I was a manager at a McDonald’s In the UK for five years. Can honestly say our shake/I’ve cream machine never once broke down.
We never took it off early for the nightly clean though, that only took a matter of minutes.
But the regular deap clean, we took it off for that, usually a Monday or Tuesday night as they were quiet, and we were straight up with customers and said it was being cleaned
This is the thing, it is much harder to replicate your network on mastodon.
Lemmy is easy, you just look for communities of interest and join them. It’s largely a one sided affair (you the user), sure, people do have relationships in smaller communities but it’s the exception rather than the norm.
Twitter I follow about 500-600 people, and have a shade over 4000 followers. This is a lot harder to rebuild on a new platform. And many of those connections are (online) relationships built up on the platform over many years.
Moving from Twitter is a bit like leaving school. You might maintain relationships with a few of your closest friends, but on the whole, you will not see most of those people again, however much you enjoyed your time with them
t could be due to coding issues
It’s self inflicted. This is what happens when you turn API’s off or make them unaffordable.
instead of using a low resource API entry, sites now switch to full on scraping which uses huge amounts of resources.
The world looked gorgeous, the first part of the trailer had me really excited, and then it turned out it was first person.
Sorry, but exploration/open world in first person is not my thing (unless its VR), especially the really rough parkour bits they showed.
He will end up “compromising”.
You can block people, but only people without blue check marks.
Wanna harass someone, wanna be a troll, subscribe to Twitter blue and you can’t be blocked…
you are missing out if you havn’t played unity. The social stealth in it, and the parkour especially is the best in the series, and the mission setup in unity is superb with multiple objectives you can complete to give the mission a different finish)
(and the Jack the Ripper dlc in Syndicate is the best DLC of any of the games)
I tried to play Witcher 3 and the combination of strange camera angles and very “tradional rpg” style icons put me off (the later is a really sad thing to be bugged by but whatever) - the interface for everything just seemed very outdated
However, I now have a PS5 and i believe the PS5 update has huge improvements including to camera angles etc, so I may give it another go.
There’s two, and both pretty controversial.
Horizon Zero Dawn - I love open world games, I love exploring, I love grind, this is someone who has played every Assassins Creed, the Tomb Raider Series, Ghost Recon series, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, and goodness knows what else. I did about 10-12 hours of Zero Dawn and it just bored me. I think the worst thing for was the character acting, I found everyone very wooden, or just had really silly voices (like Aloy’s father or whoever he was, sounded so well spoken). I found it grating. And the landscape, maybe I needed to open up more of the world, but I just didn’t find it very interesting. Sure, Robot’s are fun, but, even they were kinda dull.
The Last of Us - Just couldnt get into it. I just found it very tedious (played about 8 hours). I dont know why it just didn’t resonate with me at all. I think where AC, Tsushima etc offer escapism, TLOU being set in a regular city didnt really excite me to go out an explore. When the tv show started I thought i would give that a go hoping it would get me into playing the game, but i got bored with that about 40 minutes into episode 1 as well :(
This is kinda what I hoped Survivor was going to be.
I’m on a pretty big downer with Jedi: Survivor. I had held off buying a PS5 till there were a few games I wanted to buy and eventually bought it with Survivor as my first game. What a disappointment. Just so buggy and I have quit playing half way through while we wait for them to fix the “Bounty” issue which has been going on for a month now and they done nothing to fix.
Its put a real dampener on the whole excitement of buying a PS5, rescued somewhat by Rift Apart and Marvel Avengers which I have surprisingly enjoyed.
I am probably a UBI mark though. I’ve played the entire AC franchise except for ACIII which is next on my list, I love Ghost Recon, (and there were HUGE ghost recon similarities) and I do generally enjoy Ubi games, so its not a surprise that straight away I saw familiar mechanics that appealed.
But yeh, it looks great. Only slight gripe was I hope that the space travelling aspects have 1st person/cockpit view a’la No Mans Sky rather than 3rd person. Ive always found 3rd person flight a bit janky
One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.
Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)
And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have
