What’s surprising to me is that the android version of threads has no such requirements. It asks for contacts, camera, location, photos, notification, and mic permissions, and you don’t need to enable them to use the app

Battlebit is just $15 on Steam and has a great amount of content, quality servers, and old school Battlefield-style gameplay. Super low spec graphics. Can really recommend it to folks looking for the above

Here’s the video to see all the interactions for yourself! https://youtu.be/cX-fX7Y87dk?t=6

It’s made the platform significantly less friendly to advertisers, which is the other place that really hurts the company

I loved the fight so much. The way Mantis read the data for other games off your memory card was just so cool; such a clever way to mess with the player.

Cheers! Glad to hear you’re well supported

I’m impressed and pleased with the mods’ willingness to strike like this. Hope it may lead to change.

I think something like this would probably be done user side, maybe with some option to share it, much like the “multireddit” feature of reddit. Each individual community is still moderated and run by their mods and local instance, but the user can choose to aggregate multiple mags/communities together.

On one hand, he did say “ask me anything”. Reading the thread, I realize he didn’t actually say he’d answer anything.

Also, I love how the dishonest fuck that spez is wrote “Some third party apps decided the cost per user a month was too much” after app developers like Apollo’s and Sync’s both independently posted breakdowns of why the pricing structure was untenable. And it’s after he was caught lying about reddit’s conversations with the Apollo dev.

Glad this debacle has me invested in the fediverse future, at least.

With a big player like Meta in the game, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do something similar to other large companies that adopt standards like these - they attempt to gain as much influence as possible with how the standards are written, like Google has done with web standards.

Mastodon allows you to verify other ActivityPub accounts with a special link-back HTML element. I wish that there was either a universal method or that more applications had something like it. Something that indicates “this is me, and you can see my other activity over here and here and here”.

Maybe we need a dedicated ActivityPub service for just that lol. Maybe I should be the one to make it…
