And maybe if enough people complain NVIDIA will start behaving less like a bag of dicks?

Wishful thinking, I know, but one can hope.

Isn’t habitat loss at least in part due to climate change as well?

The NVIDIA thing has been answered elsewhere in the thread, so I’ll answer the other one: … It depends, but usually there’s a minor performance hit. Other times it works just as well, and there are some edge cases where it actually works better.

There’s also the issue of compatibility: in general, if anti-cheat software is involved, expect to have problems. This website is a database for Steam games with reports from users about what works, what doesn’t work, and what can be done to fix or at least mitigate what doesn’t work. You can sync your Steam library to it to see how well the games you have are supported at a glance.

Which makes the parallel fit even better since in both cases the characters of the opposite gender show up in the lore rather than the actual gameplay.

World of Tanks. Came for the fun FPS/TPS hybrid gameplay, left for Wargaming’s unforgivably greedy and short-sighted monetization practices. But not before siphoning away a lot more of my time than they deserved before I caught on.

For me personally, downtime tends to be a moment where I seek no conversation with anyone. Just me, whatever my train of thoughts happen to be derailing into, and sometimes some music and/or some mindless activity like scrolling social media, as I was doing until this thread caught my attention.

Assuming this isn’t a recent development or happening so often actual interaction is grinding to a halt, this is probably nothing to be worried about.

Catbox claims to keep files forever. I find this claim dubious, what’s the catch?

You’d think it would be kbin that would be obsessed with beans, going by the name.

iodéOS pour ma part, qui est un fork de LineageOS, donc même combat.

No, and I will go one step further by blocking the Threads domain assuming kbin itself doesn’t choose to defederate from it.

Occasionally, they’re the ones with a knife taped on.

Also, the communities that would be providing the interesting stuff in the first place are still in the process of getting settled in.

This might just be me, but arbitrary CAPSLOCK on words and Title Case on threads that aren’t a link to a news article are clickbait patterns that I’d prefer to not see on kbin.

As for the object of the thread itself… I am thoroughly unsurprised. I have never seen IranianGenius involved in any positive manner with /r/tumblr whereas TayTay was singlehandedly responsible for making /r/tumblr into slightly less of a garbage heap. Removing the one mod that was actually improving things is perfectly in line with Reddit’s recent behavior.

So, is that an order to abandon ship?

As far as kbin is concerned, it will appear under the “boosted” category. Some platforms handle this differently. To take a random user as an example, this fosstodon user has a bunch of posts which will show up separately from their boosts when viewed from kbin. But looking at their profile from Fosstodon itself, you will see posts and boosts mixed together as is the norm on Mastodon.

This is a natural result of most of the influx of new users being from Reddit as they’re still keeping an eye on it to see how the situation evolves. I expect it to continue happening until at the very least a week after the beginning of July, which I expect will also be a second migration wave since that’s when the third party apps will stop working.

It’ll settle down eventually. In the meantime, users seem to have been doing a good enough job of keeping those threads on the communities/magazines dedicated to talking about Reddit and/or the relevant migration, so it’s probably best to unsubscribe from/block them if you are sick of seeing those in your feed.

On that note, upvotes and downvotes upvote matter even less here (“here” meaning kbin) as the factor dictating comment order in the “hot” ranking is boosting (think retweet equivalent), not the vote count.

Not sure how that goes on Lemmy though.

He’s just trolling us and speedrunning the PR meltdown category at this point, isn’t he?

This seems to be a no strings attached good deal on xQc’s side given the lack of exclusivity clause. Worst case scenario is a particularly bad scandal hitting the platform could tarnish xQc’s reputation such as it is but that’s a risk for literally any platform. However…

As a start-up, Kick is prepared to operate at a loss

Aaand the platform is doomed. Focusing on growth over viability is whats makes you a prime enshitification target.

I can understand the value of making your community a more tight-knit one with a proactive stance on moderation, that’s how Tildes operate and they’re doing fine. The thing is I’m not sure I understand why, given this goal, Beehaw is part of the Fediverse in the first place, where there isn’t much preventing someone from an outside group coming in. This sounds like a case where a centralized instance makes more sense. Maybe they’re trying to see if such a community can exist on the Fediverse, in which case fair enough, but this seems like an uphill road.
