Seems to be from the "No Poop July" trend a few months ago.

It use the same path logic as YouTube. You only need to replace "piped.video" with "youtube.com".

Didn't you know that telling a joke more times makes it funnier? smh my head...

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their "mistake". They want to be seen as the victims like they didn't know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something "less worst" is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

How to be a company in 2023

  1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
  2. Don't use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
  3. People are angry... Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
  4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
  5. ????
  6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

Rinse & repeat, because we're all humans and we can't learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won't happen again... right?

It's always the case of a small group ruining the whole thing for everyone. Identifying and removing big dodgy paid servers would be a good middle ground without punishing the others.

I'm using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.

Because Sync came first, it's still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don't become dependant on a single app/interface.

I've also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.

Good analogy. The battle shouldn't be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.

OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.

The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.

So many questions on a single image. Why the red marks? Why is the laptop so old it has a XP (maybe Vista?) certified sticker but shows a recent Sonic game collection? The world may never know. Godspeed little hedgehog, may you go fast and eat plenty of chili dogs.

Beau tuto, félicitations! Seule petite remarque, sur ton top 3, il serait peut-être intéressant d'ajouter une mention concernant Beehaw vu leur incertitude actuelle sur la poursuite de leur instance. Une section sur les outils disponibles pour migrer d'une instance à une autre pourrait également être très intéressante. Sinon, comme certains ont mentionné, ça serait bien d'épingler ça!

Lately, I've been really into self hosting. My first thought was server fan, not air conditioning haha🫠

Choice is great for the consumers, it means different options for different folks. You want Linux, you got options. You prefer Windows, same scenario. This can be applied for every other aspect; screen, size, controls, offline play, etc.

Lots of options doesn't mean you have to buy each. Personally, I'm happy to see such a thriving market of devices.
