$5k and then never use retinal scans for anything ever again to minimize the security concerns, sure.

Far be it from me to suggest that tech bros won’t ruin a good thing, I really don’t think these will have a subscription model because they probably won’t have any kind of internet connectivity. They’ll be like pacemakers, purpose built for a specific function (prevent tremors, reverse paralysis, etc) and designed to only do that function for as long as possible.

I’m sure there will be upgradable firmware at some point in the future but having your brain be connected to any kind of cloud service is the worst idea I’ve ever heard of.

I agree this seems kneejerk. If Meta refuses to abide by the standards of interoperability and openness then lock them out, but by doing so ahead of time the fediverse is committing the crime it’s pre-punishing Meta for.

I see both sides of the argument. I’m trying to migrate away from reddit because I’m tired of the toxicity. But I’m also trying to migrate away from reddit because I’m tired of people on high dictating how I’m allowed to interact with other people. Hopefully one day Beehaw can have the moderators and community managers necessary to allow federation with as many servers as possible without compromising the community. In the meantime I really can’t see myself wanting my main Lemmy account on an instance that restricts it so much.

I just won’t post on the tankie instances like I didn’t post on the tankie subreddits. And if the instance I’m on starts censoring like that, I’ll make an account on a different one.

I’m going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I’ll probably never fully leave.

That official app is never touching my phone though.

kbin.social is on beehaw’s linked list, not the blocked list

Could make that argument for every genre though. Racing games will always fundamentally be about making a vehicle get to a finish line before the other ones, etc. Applies outside of games, too. Music, books, film, if you set the bar for innovation that high then we just all stop doing art.

I’m surprised by how quickly it’s become active. Most discussions are still about Reddit or Lemmy, but even that feels like it’s changing.

Oh that’s what’s been happening.

What do you propose a first person shooter features, if not guns? Non-violent FPS games exist like Splatoon, but those are still guns. Bows are an option, but that’s still projectile-based violence.

Hey there! I’m a human, not an ad. Hello fellow human! I see you’re interested in [contextual keyword targeting]. I think you might be {emotion4} to learn about this related thing, [ad for jesus]!

This’ll be reddit by the end of the year.

Fortunately something like RES doesn’t need Reddit’s blessing to exist. A browser extension that rearranges information the browser has already downloaded (to massively oversimplify what RES is doing) doesn’t need API access.

They could shut down old reddit but the only reason RES doesn’t support new reddit is that it would require rewriting the whole thing. If that was the only option, someone would eventually do it.

In general it’s actually less burdensome.

Firefox for Android also has this feature for anyone not using Chrome

The Sync dev has stated that Sync for Lemmy might become a thing one day, so there’s good news on that front.

Mods should just reopen but refuse to moderate. Disable automod as well.

I probably hate it less than most people but it doesn’t excuse bad design. Warframe, for instance, requires you to always be online - but if your instance is set to Solo, you can pause the game.

Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it’s 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

I’m still really struggling to get posts to actually submit.
