2 minute old post with no replies, truly unheard of on Lemmy.
Apple recreating Google Inbox would be an ultimate power move.
There’s no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn’t overwhelm moderators.
So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.
That’s why I keep saying it’s pointless to defederate corpos. They’ll just scrape everything before you notice.
I don’t want to sound like an ass but its quite likely that much of your experience is caused by weed, especially being content with mediocrity and mild depression. I’m speaking from current experience of how much my perception of things is changing on a t-break.
I was among reddit refugees a year ago and it took me a moment to notice what was going on ml and their communities were more significant in comparison to what we have today.
One of the reasons I’m on sopuli.xyz now is that it was one of the first reasonably big instances to defederate hexbear outright. Hesitance and outright hostility to defederate it from some instance admins was also worrying.
Did Steam require local payment method or just VPN? This is so convoluted and shady that I think it’s way beyond what average Joe can do to get games on the cheap.
I’m buying via Turkey, it’s quite convoluted to set up but well worth it.
IIRC I used this guide with Google Translate: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/anleitung-turkische-kreditkarte-o-verifizierung-zb-netflix-uhd-fur-6eur-statt-1799eur-auch-fur-spotify-psn-steam-epic-games-u-xbox-2140720
What you essentially do is set up a Turkish bank account via bank that requires local phone number, like FUPS. There are paid services that forward SMS with one time codes that are require to finalize registration.
In Turkey you can pick up a blank physical debit card that you then link to that account. That’s the shadiest part as you have to do that through some russian marketplaces with rather limited payment options. Once that’s done you can top up this card via Revolut because it allows transfers straight to card.
Once that’s done change your Microsoft account region to Turkey, link card and wait a couple of days (region change can lag a it). You don’t need a VPN at any point.
Personally I’m partial to free pizza.
Every piece of hardware in a given budget is ultimately a product of compromise. 3D capabilities of N64 are way beyond what PS can offer - texture filtering and Z buffer just put Playstation to shame. No CD is equally embarrassing to N64. The controller… well, it was a weird time.
I see you got bored of the dystopia.
No worries, no offense taken.
This is the title I still get when using Voyager title auto-fill even though I see it’s different now. Thankfully this is not reddit so I updated it now.
Fair point, I don’t envy much about America but NPR is a gem. There’s much more included in News+ though.
What’s wrong with that? You either buy a product or are a product.
It might be just a little bit more shitty to be laid off and have finances jeopardized than to fire someone. I don’t know the market you’re in but I’d never stoop so low to come back to a place that laid me off earlier, I’d really have to be desperate.
Lemmy now is in many ways already the same as reddit is today when you consider social dynamics. This is mostly due to how all of social media using traditional formulas devolved into competition in unproductive cynicism.
Check out Tildes if you want to see how reddit was back then, it’s the closest thing.
I tried to use AutoSleep and it’s just too janky and annoying to use though. Being able to trigger alarm early based on sleep cycle stage was a game changer though.
