Have strong opinions, but I welcome any civil fact-based discussion.

I used SearX/SearXNG metasearch engine for years now. Works great.
Most instances I have seen, including this one, has strong rules around hate speech. Maybe I’m lucky since I don’t interact with lemmy.world
, but I only saw transphobic rhetoric twice since I joined Lemmy more than a year ago.
Make sure to always report it. Never assume someone else already did.

That’s what people complained about in the few recent posts I saw about Epic Games and Steam in this community.
At the very least, Lemmy users care. They continually claim that’s their number one issue with Epic Games as an alternative to Steam.
Can anyone remember a Microsoft update in the last few years that wasn’t causing crashes and failures?
Additionally the “workaround” that someone provided still uses those connected services <…>
It literally didn’t. All it used was API endpoint, which by definition is not proprietary.
“right to repair”
Right to repair is about ownership. If a company can take away features or product you paid for, you don’t own it, you rent it.
Older one in English:
Latest one in German:
Next step, US sending their own troops after retaliatory strike and Netanyahu plan to involve US in a region wide war/genocide will be complete.
The only good thing that came out of all of this is that FAA reputation is now in the gutter. And other aviation authorities around the world are now getting more involved in doing their own evaluations, instead of mostly relying on FAA for Boeing planes specifically. It does increase the development timeline of new places significantly, as Boeing is a US company and that create a lot of logistical issues for inspections.
It’s an identical playbook they used in Gaza and as before there is no evidence of that. Israel is a terrorist state committing a genocide, but they got US as an accessory with their unconditional support, so it’s all good.
They’re upset with Epic and their exclusives
facepalm
<…> their shitty storefronts that have extremely limited features by comparison.
Have you used Steam in the early days? It took 5 years before they added basic community features.
Plus we all know the decreased commissions is just their way of attempting to gain market share, as opposed to just making a better product.
A better product means nothing if you have no users. Case in point all the enshitified platforms that still exist to this day.
Steam is far from perfect, but it’s also far and away the best option we have.
Only option. That’s the ultimate issue, which you prefer to ignore.
This is not new, but it’s well sourced and easily digestible for most people. The issue is that Valve has de facto monopoly and when Epic Games (even selfishly) tried to address that issue gamers went for their throat instead of cheering.
There are small storefronts that exist in the background, but they are either indie only like itch.io
, Game Jolt or run by a publisher with primarily their catalog like GOG, Origin, Uplay (or whatever it’s called now), Battle.net
, etc. And even then many of them eventually become available on Steam because that’s what gamers ask for. People are too stupid to help themselves, so unless some regulations force a change, we are stuck with this.
<…> managed to exit it first time <…>
That is not possible…
Added to the post body.
We know that to be true. After previous Israel’s war crimes, in 2009 UN conducted an independent review called “Goldstone report”, which proved Gaza’s death counting was extremely accurate.
Only in UK English, US English doesn’t.
Yes! Even damn FBI recommends using Ad Blocker https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tech/fbi-recommends-ad-blocker-online-scams-b1048998.html
Another tip: Don’t be like @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone and insult people by falsely accusing them of supporting hate speech.
I have a lot of respect for her for trying to create a safe environment for the trans community, but not allowing respectful discussions even if you disagree with the argument made is not helpful. Kind of opposite of inclusive behavior.
