I think the important thing is consent to use data. If I can control what data I share with them, it isn't the end of the world. If I choose to not, and it's honoured, then this is a good thing. I'd prefer this approach funding development to Mozilla not being able to compete.

Mozilla is a far superior company to Google.

Ah interesting. Appreciate the clarification. Not seen much from Beehaw in a while.

Lemmy.world has a higher percentage of questionable users for sure.

You think they use official devices for all their stuff?

Separate point, but are beehaw now not defederated from the world? When did this happen?

So you're saying if Valve enshittified, they wouldn't fork and try to capitilise on that market?

They probably do not see the point right now as Valve have it sewn up. Lemmy grew when Reddit scored own goals. When Valve do, opportunities are there and would be taken.

Maybe, but DRM free content isn't exactly shareholder value...

It's better shepherded than Epic. They probably don't fill the space because Steam do it better, but you invest more if the return is higher.

The case I'm referring to is in the future if Steam badly enshittified.

Proton is open source. Anyone can pull it together and integrate it. Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while, they'll be quite keen to fill this niche. Epic probably won't care. If none do, someone will want to.

Do questions really need to be answered outside of work time? Are blockers identifiable in advance so a plan can be put in place. Not many things need to be done outside work hours and team members can cover vacation if something desperately needs to be done.

Haven't Telegram been throwing shade for a while at competitors?

People in glass houses should not be throwing stones...

Codeberg, or failing that, GitLab, or BitBucket. Allowing MS to control all FLOSS software, means they might probably secretly get consent to use your code for copilot training without respecting licences. I have no idea if this happens, or might in the future, as I ain't reading the terms of service for something I do not use, however, I have little trust for them enough for air on the side of caution.

Which they could also report on. The fact they're removing a standard metric they've relied on, rather than relegate it, shows they have fear this metric is going to be detrimental to publish. You can fairly safely assume it's going to go down. It's no longer sexy, tik tok is killing it, and most that would be on it, are, and are discovering it's not greatly beneficial to them and spending less time on it. It is the start of the decline. How long and how fast is the thing we do not know.

I use OpenSuse for gaming. A great distro.Highly recommend. An up to date kernel, stable and just works.

Had bad experiences with Manjaro so personally wouldn't recommend.
