@postmesmeric @purplehippo My rule of thumb is this: give to creators because you like their existing creations, be it games, art, writing, whatever, not on the promise itll be good in the future.
-
@postmesmeric @purplehippo They raised money for and are working on a second project when they haven't even delivered on the first unless you include the half-baked but passable pixel thing they released, which I don't. Mighty No 9 did the same thing but the public opinion had already turned strongly against them prior to them trying that so the response was different.
-
I know I'm in the minority saying this, but I find it extremely tacky that the Bloodstained people are pulling the same tricks as Mighty No 9.
I guess it just goes to prove as I've said that people can forgive pretty much anything if they get what they want.

@purplehippo @halani go home jebediah, youre drunk

@postmesmeric Lootboxes are gambling, and game bundles like that are the lootbox of the game store.

This is the quest that never ends.

@purplehippo hug

I feel ungood

Looks like Jennifer is onto something else entirely (for American McGee) so I'm guessing Seedscape is ded. Like for reals rather than de facto. Looks like it was removed from Steam too.
-
@ninjawedding HP's wide format and Indigo presses basically hold up a lot of their frivilous shit like that, because those divisions basically do print money.

> So your users can be followed on the rest of the fediverse?
We've got AS1 feeds and AS2 feeds. If you want to follow them go for it.

The power of Christ will compel you and also will cancel your flightplan.

I love that the thing people have been touting as the killer feature for Pleroma is something GNU social has had for at least five years.

@purplehippo @strypey @macgirvin Advisory privacy isnt private at all. You are essentially sending copies of a singlevmail to every known address and trusting only the addressee opens it.
-
@macgirvin @strypey Mastodon and Pkeroma both use adbisory privacy, which results in absolutely no privacy. A node that doesnt read the magic envelope will spew "private" notices into public streams. It is a poor design which is goinv to get someone somewhere in trouble eventually.

@strypey @maiyannah
"Inter-operable" is a tall order, especially considering that interop opens you to spam and strips away a lot of your privacy. Your media is all forced public. Your content is mangled beyond recognition by primitive text-only and length-restricted platforms. It also completely destroys any chance to use nomadic identity.
It's no longer a benefit to your users but a liability and a threat to your network security and data integrity. Your users can always just use the popular project and say goodbye to yours (until they get burned by dickpics and harrassment or site shutdowns and come running back). Life is a series of choices and sometimes people make bad decisions. I'm OK with that. But just because they do doesn't mean I have to.
-
@macgirvin @strypey The way this question is couched essentially boils down to "why don't you treat ActivityPub connections as hostile?" The answer is that yes, I can do that, but I prefer not to connect to hostile sources to begin with.
-
@macgirvin Yeah, and postActiv has precisely zero illegal content, because our audience is small and sensible, but especially as the legal situation for hosting stuff here in my native Canada gets more and more precarious, it's something that's been on my mind a fair bit. It's also worth keeping in mind that people abusing that kind of stuff will just roam and go where-ever they can manage to find a platform, they don't particularly care about the software (see for eg the gab crowd), they care about where they can get away with their shit.
-
@macgirvin Far as the health goes, eh, I don't think I'm going anywheres but its not great at best. They had to take me off one of my pain medications and that's about as wonderful as you might imagine.
-
The ostatus core is probably fine, though I'll be rearranging it so that any given federation module is optional and you just have to have at least one selected to connect to the network, but to do what I want with postActiv, there's just too much work for one person to try to work with what I have, it'd need almost an entire rewrite and I've burnt enough time trying to clean it up.
