Shockingly I’m also mad about that. I suppose you support that situation?

Let’s not describe this as “paying valve three bucks” because that’s not accurate and is misleading.

It’s paying valve 30% of your revenue.

What’s the efficiency in taking 30% of almost all game sales on a platform? I know we all love valve, but the efficiency here is having a store that everyone has to use if they want to make sales at all.

I’ve been around open source for 20+ years and can tell you right now that it don’t work that way. An issue tracker and a wiki is not a community.

Most older open source communities were built on irl connections and irc, with some mailing lists thrown in. Hell, we even funded conferences just around the software, not to sell a product but just because it’s good for everyone to be talking to each other.

The issue tracker tracks the status of things, the wiki is generally user focused. It’s not where development happens or thinks get built.

Fwiw, the eggs wouldn’t have to be more expensive, the eggs cost what the market will pay.

The only change is that the people profiting from your poor food conditions will profit slightly less.

This is a common lie they tell everyone.

I’m so so tired of fucking awful headlines, and the whole “don’t editorialize headlines” thing just doesn’t work anymore.

“It will be ubiquitous,” Yoshida said. “Wherever there is computing, users will be able to play their favorite games seamlessly. Why PlayStation will remain our core product [is] we will expand our gaming experiences to PC, mobile, and cloud.”

is the actual quote which is functionally what the situation is today. also this guy is in power for less than a year so you can barely listen to him.

This is the second time Bethesda has done this.

To be fair, this image has been reposted around since before 2020

Strong moderation is the only thing that keeps a community a community. A good community is a community that says, “No, you and your content are not welcome.”

The lack of that is why platforms like Twitter fail at creating community, just an amalgamation of people throwing their shit into a worldwide circlejerk.

What I’m trying to say is that moderators do not serve your they don’t need to really give reasons or be consistent. They shape the community they Foster.

If your content is removed, find a community that accepts you, because the communities you found do not.
