Assuming “we” is the US, write your state and federal representatives, not Lemmy. People might agree with you, but you’re preaching to the choir.

If instances are unmaintained, losing them is probably a good thing.
Lemmy should do something like make captcha and email verification the default in the next version, and reject federation from anyone with a lower version. If we accept federation from any instance where this was never turned on, banning accounts one by one is worse than Sisyphean. They’ll just keep finding more vulnerable instances that are already trusted and abuse them to spam the rest of the fediverse.
If admins want to manually turn it off, then they should be prepared to manage that.
It doesn’t need to exist at all. But being online and continuous obviously speeds communication.
All fields need an information sharing platform. Historically, it was in person at conferences or conventions and such. Now it’s online and continuous.
True, but that’s why I mentioned a cache or cooldown. Once every two minutes is plenty, unless Lemmy really blows up and we have hundreds of instances trying to fetch a very popular post.
You have a point about new sort, but you could approximate it by sorting what’s known to an instance. It’s not ideal, but it’s at least something. Maybe it would make sense to push just that feed, or to fetch a subset periodically.
I read that comment tree, but it doesn’t answer my question. If someone on Mastodon likes a post on feddit.dk, I don’t see any reason feddit.dk can’t communicate that to lemm.ee when I go look at it.
Pulling the data when a user requests a post/comment (with a cooldown/cache for popular posts) isn’t any more or less scalable than feddit.de pushing the same data whether it’s been requested or not. If anything, I’d think pushing data when it’s not necessarily needed would be less scalable.
But if it has to be a push model, why doesn’t feddit.dk push the votes it knows about along with the rest of the data?
Sorry, I mean when I view the comment via my instance. I don’t understand why my instance needs to receive the votes/likes directly, instead of my instance fetching them from feddit.dk when I request the comment.
I don’t understand why feddit.dk doesn’t display upvotes received from Mastodon users. Why is this dependent on my instance?
Voice acting has been good enough in the past few decades that it’s usually usable without re-recording. Maybe remastering at most.
There’s also plenty of tooling to upscale textures too, even without AI. The biggest hurdle (for assets, at least) is 3D models. You can slap a subdivision modifier on them to make them higher-poly, but you’d still have to make sure the UVs didn’t get messed up (or whatever it is that they’re using these days). And also verify that nothing weird happened like new geometry hiding or showing something in-game. (Collision probably doesn’t need to change if you’re just increasing polycount.)
I’d like to see that data. I’d be surprised if it exists, companies rarely release that level of detail on their finances.
And “evil” is a very strong word. We’re talking about video games, a luxury recreational product.
Project Arroyo seems dead, though, so no Fallout that I know of.
But why no official ones? They don’t think it would be profitable. Microsoft and Bethesda are businesses first.
I wish they would have. They’ve treated d&d terribly.
Yeah. These are going to be abandoned after two years.
Really? Mine is laggy for some reason, and feels mushy. I can see there’s a firmware update for it when I connect it to a switch, but it won’t update. I hardly ever use it.
Deduplicate by IP/user-agent and you’ll get a pretty accurate count. Some people might be moving between wifi and data, but for the most part you can account for that. Same process as fingerprinting a browser.
Reddit mods being reddit mods is not reddit censoring you.
Not really. They’re making requests, probably at least once a day. That makes it very easy to count active users. With subscribers, you can have a big number, but they’re not necessarily all active, and unless they’re on your instance, you can’t see how often they’re reading.
Noted, I will avoid it. Thanks for the warning.
