You can create your own server and disable signups whenever you want.

As I get older, I can’t imagine being that old.

It would be nice if they did that, or something similar involving Linux on phones.

I don’t think they have anywhere near the resources, unfortunately.

Right. It can and has been done before while still turning a profit. People can, did, and still do use self-hosting as a way to play things for free. It has never been the reason for why a game failed financially, though. Most people just don’t have the knowledge or the interest to go through the extra steps required to play for free. A lot of them buy things because they genuinely wanted to support the developers.

The abuse is the point. The people in charge spend every day figuring out more ways to take power away from people and give it to the corporation. It’s an art and a science at this point.

Money and control. There is no technical reason, and in fact it would be easier to just let people host their own servers.

Allowing self-hosting used to be the norm for online games. Businesses realized a long time ago that gamers stopped having standards and would accept any abuse to not be left out of the hype.

Anyone who dissects superheroes like that seems like an insufferable loser. I would just ignore them and move on.

My concern would be federation. I don’t think the fediverse is set up so you can run the same service on the clearnet and dark net.

It’s not propaganda and nor is it limited to Israel’s Bitches. Around the world, young people have much more respect for China than the USI.

You should leave your bubble every once and awhile so you’re not as ignorant about everything outside of it.

I read this as the USI would have to pay Iran.

I hope we never find out who it is and whoever did it knows they have our support.

This could result in more employees for businesses that don’t do Israel’s bidding.

Anything, anything but pass the cost onto the people who can actually afford it: the ruling class.

I don’t ever have breakage due to systemd.

Gotta keep prices artificially high so the little people never see how much they’re getting fucked.

I’m not too excited for GTA6 and 5 isn’t as good as what came before.

The games that put it on the map, though, are timeless. Try playing one and see for yourself, we just don’t get games like that anymore.

Hopefully this will start normalizing wearing masks in public.

Really goes to show how much our rulers recognize the importance of energy. It’s not so that we can drive our cars or power our computers; it’s so their civilization can progress faster than other civilizations.

There’s literally no better option and it isn’t even close, unless there are some comparatively progressive candidates we’re not hearing about.

Sure, idiots and scumbags aren’t “ready for it” yet, but we shouldn’t adjust our goals because shitty/stupid people might get in the way of achieving them. We should be fighting back harder.

Everyone on the left who doesn’t like AOC is a moron or a piece of shit that doesn’t want rich people to pay more in taxes.

moderate Democrats

Nobody with a brain should care about what moderate democrats want.

No, bitcoin is shit for people who aren’t paying attention.
