Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)

Internet people: NINTENDO IS DESTROYING ALL EMULATORS raaaaaaaa

I can finally follow ZUCC on Mastodon, at last

…does anyone actually have a stereoscopic monitor?

Attitudes like this are much worse for the health of the Fediverse, IMO.

A popular instance with users and content? Kill it immediately, we can’t risk people actually using the Fediverse.

I remember people constantly asking for that to be a feature on Reddit, but I don’t believe it was ever implemented.

I’ve said this elsewhere, but I don’t really agree with the article’s premise about what happened to XMPP.

XMPP was a niche thing before Google appeared, and it remained a niche thing after Google left. That said, it would have been much better had Google continued to support it!

Not yet, but they’ve said it will be. Personally I’m excited to see “mainstream” social media using ActivityPub, but you’ll find that it’s quite a divisive issue.

Disagree — while the larger communities tended to get kind of lame, Reddit’s smaller communities were quite worthwhile. I want that to continue, just not on Reddit.

Not sure if you mean “engineers in general” or “engineers who specifically work on Lemmy.world”, but assuming it’s the former, I’m working on building a self-generating webcomic.

It’s always been my dream to create a website that can completely self-populate with pointless content, and soon my dream shall be a reality.
