  • I get the joke but I never understood the idea that gaming nowadays is “bad”. Just as there are many games that have shitty practices or are just bad, there are just as many that are good. Indie gaming is booming for a reason.

    Sometimes I wonder that if the people that keep parroting this idea are just… Getting old? Getting fed up with gaming? Or maybe it’s just a nostalgia thing? All of these combined?

    Anyway, Clair Obscure just came out and it’s a great JRPG, highly recommend it

    It’s incredible seeing this shit over and over, specially in a place like Lemmy, where the people are supposed to be thinking outside the box, and being used to stuff which is less mainstream, like Linux, or, well, the fucking fediverse.

    Lemmy is just an opensource reddit, with all the pros and cons

    This is wrong. Google will now share Android code after each new Android release, instead of releasing over time in real time. This is not uncommon in open source projects.

    I’m not defending, or claiming that they won’t try to make Android closed source eventually in the future, but right now what you said isn’t correct


  • A one-week boycott is completely ineffective by design.

    Amazon’s executives aren’t sweating over losing a week of your business. They’re a trillion-dollar company that thinks in quarters and years, not days. They’ll gladly wait out this symbolic week of inconvenience.

    The moment you put an expiration date on your boycott, you’ve surrendered all leverage. They have zero incentive to change anything because they know you’ll be back ordering Prime deliveries next Monday.

    Real - actual - boycotts work by creating genuine economic pressure that forces companies to reconsider their practices. They require commitment, not just temporarily pausing your shopping habits.

    Emphasis on >habits<, because we’re not talking about political parties, it’s a shop. A humongous shop for sure, but still a shop, and you can buy what you want from other places.

    If you want to actually impact Amazon, you need to be willing to walk away indefinitely until they address your concerns. Otherwise, it’s just performative.
