You’re the one who posted the meme, you tell us

Musk went crazy a long time ago, you can’t own a Tesla built after 2018 (pedo comment) and have this sticker… And there’s probably stuff I’m forgetting from before then.

Meh, the switch to FPS wasn’t an improvement to me, I want to see the games remade but with a modern turn by turn CRPG engine. Hell, even if it was the Wasteland 3 engine I would be satisfied.

Not as if Bethesda can be coerced into releasing games in a timely manner.

They could have made a studio work on a fallout 1 and 2 remake though…

Well, in a system like I’m talking about, adding your server and storage space in the mix would make the whole thing more reliable and add to the storage capacity so more content can be hosted/backed up, just like paying for a second server to host a website allows to store more stuff and to start creating backups. You would still help build the community (the website), you just wouldn’t have an administrative role outside of the communities you would want to moderate.

What is the incentive for people to host an instance at the moment?

What is the incentive for people to share files via peer to peer networks?

What is the incentive for people to host Minecraft servers?

Need me to go on?

If in your mind the only incentive that people have to host instances is to have power over it and its users then they’re exactly the kind of people you don’t want to see hosting instances.

Or you make it like a traditional website with an API used by people making frontends, but the backend (the database) is decentralized, just like regular websites but instead of having a bunch of servers owned by AWS it’s just a bunch of people providing storage space on their servers.

Man, it feels like you guys haven’t spoken to a real human in decades…

I’m talking about Mastodon and Lemmy and such since that’s what OP is complaining about

All those federated platform will only become popular if the backend is dumb and the frontend is smart, i.e. you create your account on a frontend but can use the same credentials to connect via another frontend and no matter which frontend you connect to, all content for the platform is accessible to you, there’s no admin having control over your experience, only people offering different UI experiences. Federation/defederation/deciding to host NSFW content, that’s all taken care of behind the scene just like on Reddit, for the user they’re just using Lemmy via frontend X or Y and they decide what communities and users they want to block.

All I remember of the first one was that it was brutal as fuck

It’s from their pictures folder, which is backed up by one drive and might include a screenshot folder or something of the sort. OP just needs to choose what to backup instead of just letting it backup everything.

“who”

No one

Konami doesn’t limit itself to Japan, look into KCMS/SYNKROS when you have the chance.

They are everywhere in the slot machine world.

I don’t want to live in the America where that isn’t normal.

Bad news! Vice squads are coming, no more fun for you!

Just to be clear, ads free cable TV was a thing on a very small minority of cable channels for less than 10 years (from 81 up until 87 if I recall the research I did on the subject correctly), the only reason people keep talking about it is because they didn’t live it. At first the vast majority of cable channels were just regular channels from regions too far away to get a signal for with antennas and cable only channels mostly had ads as well, there were something like four of them that didn’t.

Hell, in Canada we mostly have Mexican vegetables and fruits most of the year because people want to eat the same things year long instead of eating the way people did just 100 years ago…

Well, it’s pretty much what’s happening…

It goes up and down as people accept to fill the survey or don’t

No need to make it a day off, just need to guarantee enough hours to vote (in Canada employers need to adjust your schedule so you have 4h off work while voting stations are open, in most cases they don’t need to do anything because they’re open late enough that after work is 4h)
