    Spacewar! was a F2P PvP game with no microtransactions and no battle pass. Although it’s hard to quantify exact player numbers (it precedes Steam charts), for a while it was the most played videogame in the world.

    Its real-time graphics and multiplayer combat were very influential, and widely copied by many other games.




  • The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

    Do you want to go to a video’s channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

    • Go to Home.

    • Long-press on a video.

    • Press “Go to channel”.

    • Go to Subscriptions.

    • Long-press on a video.

    • Fewer options because fuck you.

    • Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

    • Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

    And that’s just one example.

    That’s how politics work in the US.

    Not really, unfortunately. All these “if you don’t vote for A you’re voting for B” arguments would be a little more applicable if the US presidential election was a simple majority vote, but anyone with the most basic of US politics knowledge has heard of the Electoral College. Hillary Clinton wasn’t elected president in 2016, but not because more people voted for Trump.

    And that’s without taking into the account voting suppression. Would you tell someone who can’t vote because of racist laws that they are “voting for Trump”?











  • It’s great they increased the caps, but at the same time those materials won’t go to the Postmaster anymore if you’re at the cap. So if you play multiple characters you can actually store less, not more.

    And it’s not like they take up physical space anyway, it’s just bits on Bungie’s servers. Besides FOMO and maximizing engagement, is there any reason for the cap not being 264?



  • I run my own Synapse server with bridges to WhatsApp and Telegram, along with a few other services, using Yunohost. I haven’t observed any huge resource usage, and I like the centralized management/update. One possible downside is that you won’t get the latest versions immediately, the Yunohost maintainers take time to test those. I prefer the stability that gives me but if you want to be on the edge a docker setup will be better.
