Thanks for the shoutout! The power move was a clear violation on the side of Rooki. Words and other fluff aside, the new rule additions are the best indication of not only the lack of change but also doubling down on Rooki’s original position, as described in further detail in my recent comments.

Once I’ve made the last comments and it’s been a few days since the Lemmy.World announcements, I will fully migrate to lemmy.zip because of this incident, so going to my user page on here should make it easy for anyone curious about the events to get a much clearer picture.

Meanwhile Lemmy.World moderator Rooki:

To be honest linking something like meat to death of people is like saying everybody that breathed air died.

correlation != causation

I’m not a moderator of !vegan, so I can’t speak on behalf of the moderators here. Either way, each community has its own rules in addition to the instance rules, so a community can be much stricter (or more subjective) than the instance, which I would expect to be more or less neutral.

Russia is reportedly planning to block WhatsApp as well.

It’s been out since July 18.

Thinking of starting Tchia, given its recent addition to Game Pass.

I switched off after having found that its privacy settings prevent extensions like Dark Mode from reading your dark mode status in the OS. There’s a workaround but I might as well use something else.

That’s overkill. Shaun’s video on Harry Potter is less than two hours long and tells you all you need to know.

The store came to be as an “f you” to Apple, as evident from the email exchanges at the time. The 1984 trailer from Fortnite seemed to be in the same vein. I don’t think that particular trailer was for the purpose of promoting the EGS, as there’s not a single hint to the store in the video or its standard placement.

If it were purely self-serving, they’d agree to settle with Google on special terms similar to those offered to a number of other publishers. Court proceedings last for years, as would be obvious to Sweeney, so sacrificing years of revenue for the distant prospect of having to pay 0 to the platforms is easier explained as being ideological than a business decision.

I haven’t played it yet. I prioritize Game Pass, since those games come and go, but on Steam the library is semi-permanent. Sometimes I really feel like playing a particular game from my library, so I prioritize that over the ones I like on Game Pass.

I bought Dreamfall Chapters. It’s the only one of its series that doesn’t feel too dated to be playable to me.

I bought Dreamfall Chapters, which is back to its historical low on Steam. I’ve heard good things about it, and Dustborn from the same dev looks super promising.

It’s already doing well.

There are already precedents of software (the Riot games) and the OS itself refusing to work if the requirements are bypassed, so it’s a very risky move that nobody should choose for their main OS.

They absolutely are unreasonably high. My barely overclocked 6700K is sufficient for virtually every new or slightly older game I throw at it, but somehow it’s not enough for the OS?

Since XP, I always upgraded to the next version whenever it came out. The insane hardware requirements of Windows 11 make it the only exception.

Ravenlok. It’s only a year old but it runs perfectly fine on my 2016 PC. I’ve not played Zelda but I feel like it’s similar. Lots of retro game vibes.
