But people here don’t really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn’t matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I’m saying to achieve what you want.

I’m not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

Yeah, these are not company run sites with monetization plans. People saying they’ll show them by leaving is funny, since these instances cost money as opposed to making money so I don’t think they’ll be sad about less overhead. People here aren’t paying customers but guests being invited to use another person’s instance over self hosting their own.

If people want uninterrupted access to this instance they can sign up to this instance, self host, or look for instances located in a country with less strict laws that might lower chances of defederation from here?

I’d have a VR headset and maybe a 4090. Maybe not be a patient gamer. No I’d still wait for that part, since buggy releases wouldn’t make me happy spending money on broken products even if it was only the equivalent of a dollar to me.

As for what I define as rich? Having your own place you actually like while not having to work anymore, since you got a steady flow of passive income to maintain the lifestyle you want.

Like I’d consider someone who lives in a small apartment or cozy cabin but has a sustainable lifestyle more rich than someone living in a huge home with multiple cars, but would lose it all if they lost their job less wealthy. Rich to me is being free of the rat race, and being able to keep up the standard of living that makes you happy and comfortable.

It’s possible now if you visit the same page through kbin.

I fell on the side of fighting to live and Marty was the best.

More challenging is to remove the benefit of answering as a bystander and hand over an active role, so now the question is would you torture an innocent to keep the world alive. Then question progresses to what if that innocent is someone you care most about to see the extent of their resolve

Let’s put more of the responsibility in the individuals hands. Would you be willing to carry out the torture of innocents under the belief that your actions guarantee peace?

Then it becomes are you willing to torture innocents to save everyone else?

> Is this voluntary? Is it random? Is the person truly innocent? Is this person known or will be remembered? Is it a child? Is the world aware?

I just picture Cabin in the Woods.

Or Cabin in the Woods.

Most people don’t care about what client others are using. It’s more the evangelizing of what how $20 isn’t that big a deal that is starting to get annoying. If it was just Sync came out and people who liked it used it then it’d be fine, but then some of you guys are bit too fanatical that you’d go into other communities like liftoff to start arguing about Sync and how $20 is worth paying and the app deserves it and so on, and then trashing the Foss alternatives. Yes we get it you love Sync and is the best app ever, but try and tone it down a bit. It’s more the userbase that is hurting the image right now than anything.

I thought it was due to wanting to try a non corporate alternative to social media. Before Spez mishandling of the incident I was ready to just use old.reddit.com on Firefox and figure out how to get RES onto mobile, or just use it less and more on desktop only. Had he just quietly let the protest pass by without throwing a tantrum I’d probably still be using reddit.

Some instances taking a strong stance against federating with Meta and some not ruling it out made me start to get on board with communities being located on different instances in case a migration becomes necessary again, so a huge bulk of communities aren’t affected in that scenario due to most being centralized on one.

That’s sad. It is a pretty fun game. I like Gundam so I hope some other Gundam game ends up coming out. Dream would be a great single player story focused one.

Getting in the way of even launching the game is pretty much the biggest performance hit a game can play. So unless they start testing that aspect of ensuring people don’t run into issues of expired licenses when playing offline or running into activation limitations doing something like switching proton versions the testing is flawed from the get go and obviously biased.

It was ruined before the ending.

It was hilarious to see Tyrion find them with a light dusting of bricks on top. Comedy.

I went from avoiding leaks to a few episodes in not caring and read the leaks and laughed. Then joined freefolk to laugh at the show as it aired, which made it a much less miserable affair than it would have been. A nice season long The Room roasting for the show.

Watching it straight up would have been pure torture.

Yeah, I brought up the crime aspect, since piracy to me is an act where laws are being broken that can result in fines or imprisonment. Pirates were outlaws and hanged, so kind of reason why digital lawbreakers got the moniker pirate. Not really in the category of even legal malicious compliance.

Was meant to draw attention to how ridiculous it was to even label a completely legal action as an act of piracy just because he was upset about adblockers. Might as well call out Brave browser next with it blocking ads out the box.
