  • I think the thing that bothers me most about lemmys whirlwind of negativity about everything is that you get people like op, that find something they want to spread negativity about, then they post it to a bunch of communities.

    Lemmy is small, so you see this one thing over and over and over again. It’s so tiring.

    I get that this kind of stuff isn’t something to be positive about, I’m just getting so tired of lemmy. At least reddit didn’t have a constant stream of negativity. Multiplexed through every subreddit.

    I’m convinced it’s this kind of thing that’s killing the entire thing. You can’t build communities on this, so there’s less and less people looking every day. I know I look at lemmy a lot less than I used to.









  • Yes, op is a little confused.

    • Browsers (were, still are in many regions) forbidden from using any engine other than the iOS provided webkit.
    • Dynamic recompilation is not possible on iOS because of how iOS does code signing. This basically blocks the entire concept of executing instructions that weren’t part of the original signed code.

    It’s a shame to see someone taking the side of big business over a small independent. Google has an effective monopoly on search, they take the content of sites and present it as their own, they also rarely do a good job of fighting SEO to show you things you actually want to see, this is likely a result of SEO winning rather than these guys.

    You’re celebrating the big guy and telling the little guy to just live with it. Whoes going to make content when they are all gone.


  • I really don’t like the conclusions of this at all. People who play new games pick up the game for a month, play it, and move on. It’s okay and a sign of a healthy industry.

    People who play these specific games are just playing the one game they play. People aren’t picking new games over old games. The results just have obvious bias that the news organisations are not picking up on

    This isn’t really what happened with the dreamcast. It didn’t sell well, and more importantly, it didn’t sell well enough to cover the cost of making new dreamcasts. Sega well supported the system, but could not afford to stay in the hardware business.
