And NMS eventually got good enough to drop a few dozen hours into.

TIL Voat shut down. Shocker.

1 9 90 rule applies quite well, only a limited number of users ever interact with anything at all, and no one interacts with everything.

Most human like thing about it yet, in fact.

Google Power Delete Suite. Don’t leave your content there for them to use.

I feel like the hurdles are kind of features. If your elderly parents can’t figure out then they can’t well flood it with trash. Reddit was the same way at first, oh so long ago. People weren’t used to the format and users without any tech savvy were dissuaded from entry. That turned into a libertarian foundation. This time around the generations that are tech savvy aren’t libertarians, they’re progressives. So we’re seeing a progressive foundation in the federation become established, and that’s going to narrate the future culture here, just like libertarians narrated the culture of reddit for so long.

He’s already overridden people blocking him. You still see his posts.

He’s just trying to make sure it stays useful as a weapon for fascists like himself is all.

True, though Heroic still jumps through a ton of hoops for you and provides a simple UI to install things, add them to your Steam library so you can launch them easily, etc.

The api changes really were about protecting their gold mine of data from ai data models scraping for data. Reddit wants to use that data to create its own models and then replace moderators with those models. The ultimate goal here is to turn the existing dataset into an automoderator on steroids that they could sell anywhere. Trouble is someone else is going to beat them to it.

There was a reason these changes lined up so nicely with Google doing the same thing. Everyone’s realizing they’ve been spouting their gold from firehoses for any machine to pick up, and they’re being reactionary and turning them off asap instead of just like, accepting it as a facet of having a public social network.

Not those of us who exclusively used the 3rd party apps. Former RiF user here, reddit for 12 years. Not doing it on their app, you couldn’t pay me to tolerate that experience. Using Jerboa right now and with a couple tiny improvements, I got no problem switching.

I literally haven’t played my PC since getting my steam deck, it’s fantastic. When they make a Steam Deck 2 I’ll preorder it.

Pro-tip I’ve discovered: Don’t trust Steam’s “not supported” flag. It’s probably supported fine, if you can enter a command line to bypass the launcher. 99% of the “not supported” guys are launcher problems. And you can play your Epic and GOG games through Heroic Launcher.

Played MGS5 through to completion, worked flawlessly. Played through the Kingdom series. Been playing Offworld Trading Company. Call of Juarez Gunslinger. Mortal Kombat 11. Devil May Cry 5. Played Elite Dangerous a bit just to make sure it would (requires bypassing launcher but works). Going to do a replay of Fallout New Vegas here once I’m done with OTC, or maybe Fallout 4 or Outer Worlds. Also been meaning to throw Cyberpunk at it to see how it handles but I don’t suspect it’s gonna present a problem.

Seriously, these things are the missing link in PC gaming.
