I see the music industry as the "greater evil" here, but I think I'm rooting for both sides to spend a bunch of money (by normal person standards, it'll probably be a drop in the bucket for them) on legal fees before the inevitable settlement requiring Twitter to create a Content ID-esque system for videos.

Some apps can disable it, I think Discord does so people don't get tricked into pasting random scripts into the console

I love the approach some mods have been taking towards this - the "3DS hacks" subreddit mods turned off all the automod filters keeping people from mentioning piracy sites and told everyone they only need to follow site rules from now on.

The userbase has currently taken to posting 3D shacks.

As far as I know, talklittle is focused on making a Tildes app called Three Cheers for now, and had been working it even before the announcement from Reddit. As much as it would be nice to have a Lemmy successor to RIF, the closest we'll probably get any time soon is an app that's just inspired by the RIF design.

The only cool thing about Opera was how when you used Opera Mini on a phone with a physical keyboard you could move a cursor around the screen using the arrow keys

I think they need to find a way to merge the BOTW open world with the more traditional structure of Zelda games. The issue is that those two philosophies are sort of at odds with each other, with BOTW and TOTK not wanting the player to be locked out of anything while exploring the world while the traditional structure has you unlock items throughout the game in order to solve puzzles, which there are much fewer of outside of dungeons. It can work though, if Wind Waker is any indication with its side islands.

I understand blocking an instance like lemmygrad where the target audience of the server itself is an issue, but blocking large general-purpose instances seems like it'll hurt the growth of the platform as a whole, which is critical at this point when people are moving away from Reddit. Luckily the post reads as if this is a temporary thing, but I almost wonder if the fediverse thing might not be for them if they want to close off their community to this extent.

I also don't know what this means for moderation of pre-existing Beehaw posts - is it just kicked off to the admins of the blocked instances?

You can still follow Beehaw communities (or ones on any other instance) from this instance, you just have to view them from lemmy.world. If you check the "all" tab under "communities" you should be able to see some of them and also search for them.

I wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with the impending Microsoft buyout, seeing as they've been putting all their PC games on Steam for a while. That being said, I also wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft starts moving away from both Steam and Battle.net once the deal closes in favor of the Xbox launcher now that they have a ton of potential exclusives for it.

Federated Miiverse clone when

(I'm half joking but I'm also curious on if the Pretendo team is open to implementing ActivityPub...)

I think I'd consider this more along the lines of homebrew unless it gets an official, Nintendo-licensed release for the original hardware. Star Fox 2 is in a similar boat since Nintendo did officially release it in 2017, but only as a bonus for the SNES Classic and later NSO.

Kick seems to be getting more attention from streamers moving of their own accord than Facebook or Mixer did, at least. I doubt it'll go a lot better than Mixer in the long run, but it's at least better for everyone on Twitch if they have competition to worry about.

That was when they got rid of the "blob emoji" in favor of adopting the more standard round smiley faces in order to match Apple specifically. The reasoning was along the lines of wanting emoji to convey the same thing across platforms, which makes sense to an extent but I'm not sure why they felt a complete overhaul of the artstyle was necessary to achieve that goal.

I blame Thingiverse, should have gotten it off of Printables instead so the site would finish loading before bedtime

I really hope the Valve Deckard is real and can compete on price with Oculus. I feel like it should be doable comparing the price of the cheapest Steam Deck to the price of the Quest 3, but I don't know a whole lot about how much more hardware has to go into a headset over a game "console" alone.

This is still a good deal but it's worth noting that they stopped selling the mainline Sonic games in this pack when they released Origins.

You can even have it in your IDE if you want!

As much as I know Nintendo would love to sell the same games again, I doubt they'd rather put in the time and effort to port the most popular games than put that effort towards being able to continue selling the Switch's pre-existing back catalog on the new system.

edit: However, I can definitely see them doing the PS5 thing and charging $10 to upgrade Switch 1 games to take advantage of the Switch 2.

Square Enix still owns the IP? I figured it would have been included when they sold Crystal Dynamics to Embracer Group.
