I’d been using Unity off-and-on for more than a decade, even published two crappy mobile games back in the day

this recent kerfuffle led me to find Godot and I actually quite enjoy it. so even if Unity did a full reversal I can’t see myself ever going back to it

I had no idea their CEO was from EA, so in a way I’m glad all this happened as I learned quite a bit

thanks for sharing these articles!

ha, I used to go the grocery store specifically to read entire magazines

lmao that is embarrassing

sadly spez will still make millions from the IPO before he abandons ship, so I guess in the end he still ‘wins’ at the expense of the users

the sorting algorithms definitely need some work, I try to use ‘Hot’ but it constantly shows me posts from 1+ year ago

and multi-reddits were the only way I used that site once the feature was created so that would be a very welcome addition to lemmy!

anytime I saw a thread on reddit with 1,000+ comments I didn’t even bother to add my own view

I do like how pretty much any thread here on the fediverse is small enough that I feel like I can make a comment and participate

some communities do feel quite active, but I think sports as well as some niche interests could use a boost in activity here

according to that same website, kbin activity has been dropping

down from ~57,000 average at the beginning of July to about ~32,500 active users now

I know I’ve been having issues with federation from kbin magazines to my lemmy instance, so I wonder if this is part of it?

I’m not sure if all of your points are covered, but this page has fediverse tips and an active mastodon account where you might be able to ask for the remaining scenarios to be covered

a million times this, so many young people overwork themselves and burn out quickly

I cringe whenever a see someone has checked in code at 1am on a weekend, and these people are also working normal business hours so it’s not like they are only working at night

sadly it’s usually the same people who never take PTO either

that makes sense

federation between kbin.social and my instance lemmy.sdf.org seems to be awful and I couldn’t tell where the breakdown was occurring because the issue is intermittent/partial federation

I’m not a web developer so I can’t really say what solutions are best, but I have faith there are people smarter than me working on robust solutions

I haven’t looked at the specs but it is similar to UDP vs TCP?

one of the best games of all time

and THE best soundtrack of all time!

quoting posts unlike Mastodon

what happens when a Firefish user quotes a post and it federates to Mastodon? Is the quote lost?

I didn’t even know it was on PC until recently

apparently it is still available on Steam, I wonder if it runs on the steam deck

wonder why bluetooth only works for Android?

I thought the protocol was universal

cool I’ll check them out, thanks!

I completely stopped using reddit but that old.reddit.com interface is still the best imo

most themes look like from early 2000’s

I thought that was a major selling point 😭

I’m assuming you’d need an account specifically on endlesstalk.org to use these frontend?

I’m already moderating a few communities so completely migrating to a new instance is probably not worth it for me (and I’d prefer to keep my sdf.org connections)

I’d love it if these alternative sites could use a login from a different instance somehow, basically operating in the same way a mobile app does

there are definitely federation issues with kbin.social

I’m on lemmy.sdf.org and my subscriptions to kbin magazines are extremely flaky and sometimes don’t work at all

I’ve tried posting about it on both my lemmy community and kbinmeta on kbin.social but never got much traction on why federation is hit-or-miss
