I have it installed and very infrequently play, more to check in on progress. It is most definitely a really cool engine and there is a fair bit to explore, but it takes a looong time to load up and get to the point when you are in space since on start up you have to commute from an apartment to the space port. Basically every time I start it up I spend an hour or 2 playing and just explore a different but similar spaceport or space station…

This is a real issue, but scanners are the worst example because no generation can figure them out.

Came here to say tutanota and protonmail. Guess I will leave now…

I do wonder how effective it will be at stopping trolls. If anything it may make Beehaw a troll target as Lemmy grows. Its easy enough to make an account and list some things from the Beehaw’s principles.

Yeah I figured there would be technical challenges. I imagine the data load would be fairly large, but since its a growing platform data growth is going to be an issue either way.

Maybe the better solution is an app that you can log into multiple accounts with anditt merges your feeds.

To an extend I understand the lost ad revenue for the 3rd party apps. But it seems like there’s a different solution, like requiring apps using the api to either pass through the ads or pay a per user fee, allowing for app users to get all the features they want for free and pay som small monthly subscription to remove the ads…

I use Infinity since its open source

I like replaceable batteries but there is no doubt that the simplified unibody designs have other benefits besides the planned obsolescence companies seek. Battery life or thickeness will certainly take a hit. I feel like having some form of incentives for more repairable phones would work better to bring better, more renuable options without blockingotherr designs

know very little about the programming but it feels like there would be some sort of SSO multi-instance user account syncing solution.

Make an account on one instance, say Lemmy.World, and from that account request access to the other instances that you would like to join. Your account would get cloned and synced to the other instances that you get accepted to and posts/comments in that instance would be stored on that instance account as a secondary instance.

Posts could be cloned to all federated clone accounts or you could designate a secondary backup acount in case the primary server goes down. Maybe there could be a limit of instances you join like 3-5 cloned accounts to reduce duplication of data and maybe only clone messages, not media or something unless specifically requested. It would also allow for folks to continue posting and browsing even if their primary instance is overloaded or down which would improve the end user experience.

Again I only have an approximate idea how this works so this may all be dumb…

Dota 2. But I swear I’m not toxic, just addicted. No others would hate it like I do.

So follow up question, is there any limitations to the communities that I do subscribe to beyond if they are federated or not?

So new here does this mean that we cannot subscribe to communities in their instances or just the other way around?

Yup bitwarden is a good option. Curious if Proton’s new manager will be any good.
