  • How's this Max Messenger ? Has it got a lot of features ?

    Jump

  • Iirc, in Russia, companies must have participation of the state. And Russia inherited laws from the Soviet Union, has had autocratic tendencies even between the opening of the SU and Putin coming to power, and has worked with other dictatorships such as China, Cuba and Venezuela's. So it's easy to assume and expect there's state-issued spyware to monitor users.

  • How's this Max Messenger ? Has it got a lot of features ?

    Jump

  • Well, if it's likely to be mandatory wherever you are, may as well take the initiative and install it to test, instead of asking what, by your comment, sounds like a rhetorical question or an ad.

  • Is there any decent PvP FPS that's not infested with cheaters? Looking for a decent PvP FPS

    Jump

  • To my knowledge, only games with private rooms where you know who's entering would be safe from cheaters.

  • Paul McCartney banned from Reddit after posting photos from his own concert

    Jump

  • It's actually communism where the person doesn't own anything.

  • Do you think we should have an index of how ethical gaming companies are?

    Jump

  • I'd propose instead a review platform specific to companies, so users can leave their votes and the evaluation average is the company's score. And in that idea, apparently NodeDB NeoDB, which has ActivityPub support, can do. Just yet to test to see how reliable it is, and how it propagates around.

  • Why are you crying, Windows user?

    Jump

  • I had been considering getting a decent computer since 2017 iirc. And since then, prices were already rising constantly, no crypto, plandemic, LLMs or fearmongering needed. So my suggestion is, get the upgrade as soon as possible despite the prices, for the "now" seems to always be the cheapest.

  • How long until the rise of games with mods turns into user created games.

    Jump

  • Dunno "rise", but certainly isn't unprecedented for mods or similar to get standalone releases. Black Mesa and UNLOVED both come to mind.

    And if we stretch definition a little, to my knowledge, Super Bernie World, Luanti, and apparently now S&Box all allow being used as engines for making mods as standalone games.

  • Yep

    Jump

  • If the "coaster" is inevitable, may we at least learn from our previous trips to it how to handle it. 🫂

  • New site design and philosophy for Stack Overflow: Starting February 24, 2026 at beta.stackoverflow.com

    Jump

  • LLM shoehorning aside, holy shit, mobile-oriented site designs never fail to negatively impress me. Dunno if it's the poor use of space, way too many pre-made categories shoved in the sidebar, text elements not being as clearly differentiated making them be ADHD triggers/inducers, or something else, but the beta forum for Stack Overflow feels like it ticks each problem I can think of.

    Please give the jank. At least jank is usable, predictable and doesn't make you feel like you need to take focus drugs/meds.

  • Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds

    Jump

  • Feels like the article goes through the same points in different ways every few paragraphs, so in short:

    With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot. To use the app, people will sign in with their Atmosphere login (meaning their login for any app that runs on atproto, which includes Bluesky). Attie will immediately understand what you’ve been talking about, what sort of things you like, and more, because Bluesky and the wider ecosystem are open systems that share data across apps.You can ask Attie questions, like what posts you might like to see or repost, and you can use the app to curate your own custom feed, personalized to you.

    At launch, Attie can be used to build and view these feeds, which will later become available to you within Bluesky or any other atproto app. Over time, the plan is to allow Attie’s users to vibe-code their own social apps as well as build tools for other people.

    Also, from experience, AIs are miserable to suggest feeds with any level of nuance past generic requests, somehow worse than asking in groups and forums with people that don't interpret what you asked for.

  • Tankies think the EU and NATO are countries

    Jump

  • About the EU, individual participant countries not having full control of their laws sound like a federation-style state, similar to the US, but more centralized. Though the EU seems to be growing weaker and weaker in recent years, so individual states are getting more space to move independently.

  • IEEE talking about fediverse

    Jump

  • So... Is it an article to promote/defend the actions of the Big Brother State?

    Whenever I see "regulating social medias", I get a cold sweat, reminded of what the current Brazilian government's been insisting on for years, in practice internet censorship.

  • Why sometimes Linux is hard to switch to

    Jump

  • What would your ultimate distro be like?

    The one that fits one's needs the best. Given your frustration with unstable systems, I'd say the best ones would be those that take longer to make major updates, like Debian, Mint and Slackware, as then issues aren't introduced as frequently, and older ones are better known and easier to fix or even preemptively circumvent.

  • AV1’s open, royalty-free promise in question as Dolby sues Snapchat over codec

    Jump

  • Didn't read the linked PDFs in the article, but the article itself doesn't mention what patents AV1 would have broken.

  • Every time

    Jump

  • At least one that doesn't like console wars, even if agreeing with the criticism.

  • Just spotted a bird with ADHD

    Jump

  • Yeah, and it doesn't even seen to want to get in. I once forgot to close the window before it appeared, and when it did, it would stop at the open window, stare for a little, and keep doing its rounds. e.e"

  • Just spotted a bird with ADHD

    Jump

  • Every day when I work in the afternoons, there's a bird near the end of the shift that flies to the circular windows of the main room, and keeps circling them for some 20 minutes, flying small distances (1~2 metres) while staring to where I am.

    Wish I could understand what it's thinking. 😅

    Who, me?

  • Please? Pretty please?

    Jump

  • Dunno if it's your case, but if someone's stuck on a mental freeze, imo it's still better to do "rage cleaning" than nothing at all. e.e"

  • is there any platform in fediverse where individuals can join groups just like Facebook groups, and share media ??🤔🤔🤔

    Jump

  • @ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com It doesn't have SMS. It was just a comparison.

    And aggregator is something or someone that aggregates, that brings things together. The fediverse network is one, for example, as it brings together the several sites you see in users' IDs, such as Divisions by Zero, The/Brain/Bin, Blåhaj Zone, Mastodon Social, etc.
