    1. I already had issues with Reddit long before the API drama, due to spam, etc. However when the API drama dropped, I almost 100% switched to kbin, save for the rare occasion I found some useful info on Reddit, with the occasional tumbling into some other interesting threads.
    2. I post more often to Mastodon, slowly leaving Twitter too, I just need to convince my fellow authors to do so, to give me even less reason to use it. I however decided to limit posting updates of my game engine to Twitter, and instead use the main account now dedicated for it ( @PixelPerfectEngine )
    3. I haven’t heard of Matrix, I’ll look up it. I don’t have any major gripes with Discord so far.
    4. Peertube is fine and dandy, however it’s even less adapted than other Fediverse platforms, all while YouTube would be mostly fine IF IT DIDN’T ACTIVELY TRIED TO SABOTAGE MY FIREFOX! I EVEN PAY FOR PREMIUM AND MEMBERSHIPS!

    I don’t really use any other save for following a bunch of Misskey accounts with my Mastodon. However, I was thinking on creating a federated game launcher/gaming-focused social network similar to Steam. Some parts of it would use ActivityPub (especially public stuff like achievements), others XMPP or something similar. Issues are the question of a copy protection system, and an anti-cheat system. Banning pirated copies of the game from official networks is probably easy even with open source tools, and likely not so controversial. Anything more than that would require more complicated setups, such as a lot of proprietary stuff, not to mention are very controversial, especially with gamers. Anti-cheat systems are also a though issue, likely being the responsibility of the developer, and also there’ a lot of controversy with them with kernel-level anti-cheat systems.

    Both of you chill out. People sometimes do heinous stuff, and the more famous they are, the more likely they’re getting away with those actions. People, especially on the right, have helped Depp to make it the most televised courtcase, likely in an attempt to shift the Overton window when it comes to domestic abuse to the right. I recommend you to read up on the whole picture. There was even a phone call recording where Amber talked to Johnny about not telling the cops for that he beaten her.

    You can still like him to your heart content. One of my favorite guitarist had a Confederate flag guitar, one another did so much drugs he got so much brain injury he became a flat earther, yet another wanted to give Trump a chance in 2016. One of my favorite poet would be a top hexbear mod. A lot of Hungarian artists I ever looked up to in any way or form are almost all tied to Fidesz. The one that didn’t got unreasonably angry at me for mentioning her the Fediverse, thus I needed to unfollow her. Just remember everybody is a human with flaws. Sometimes they learn from it, sometimes they don’t.




  • Also GPU drivers.

    If you’re mad at NVidia for their closed-source drivers, then remember that ARM seldom makes their Linux drivers available for free, so you have to either have to deal with absolutely no GPU driver while the CPU does the graphics rendering (might not be a big deal on a NAS though), or with open source drivers that are less capable than the Nouveau drivers and even fiddlier to install. The ARM Mali driver issue is so bad I was legit thinking on a solution to run the Android binary blobs (which at least are available by ripping them off from the Android kernel) on regular Linux, a lot of function call redirects would likely take care of that issue.
