unfettered capitalism has not, and will not work except for those already at the top.

Don't feel bad for the Moderators of Reddit
So many reddit mods were angry power-hungry assholes. I don't feel sorry for them just as much as I don't feel sorry for reddit's hopeventual collapse. I can't count how many times I had BS moderation enacted, then when I was perfectly civil, usually just asking for basic clarification as to why something was removed, was instantly silenced from further communication with the mods with threats of potential removal from participation in the sub or reddit entirely. I am not alone in this experience.
I run a discord server and freely explain to user that they are welcome to disagree with me, openly and freely, as while I run this unofficial community server about an event I don't own/operate,
The same is for a reddit mod, especially for broad topics and localities.
Unfortunately I do see the potential for similar behavior here in the fediverse. I can't say I know how to address it entirely, but I know I can act the way that's fair to the community of which I am only an administrator, not a ruler nor creator.

For real, the person's name is LitigousEmma. This is one step away from a copyright troll, which imo seems to the the mortal enemy of the idea of FOSS. Did this Emma recognize all the developers of the programming languages they used, or the people who made the computer they worked on, or the pioneers of electronics in general? It's not like Emma took quarks and atoms and turned it into an web aggregator.

Selfhosted last.fm alternatives
What's wrong with last.fm? I've used them since 2007 and imo they're way better than something like Spotify. Lastfm is free.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom finally runs silky smooth on PC
I have a launch switch and a PC. I've mostly played on PC, and also recently got a steam deck, so add that to the mix. The SD isn't much better than a switch, especially with the translation errors of emulation, but it's still better and a better screen for sure. PC is no contest better. CPU is the bottleneck on performance for the game, so while I have a Ryzen 7, Yuzu barely uses it, at most 30% utilization. My 3060ti is running at almost max, but it's also doing a solid 1440p60 with very little errors. What little graphical inconsistencies there are are massive outweighed by the better resolution, and higher framerate.

no one brought up the US. Plenty of old homes and apartments don't have AC. You can buy them yourself and stick it in the window. Plenty of non white folk in the US have AC. hth

That was fixed weeks ago. I've been running it at 1440p60 without any issues. Like legit way better that a switch.

Idk, I haven't paid a dime in over 12 years and never saw an ad (with blocking). Never received spam or had features removed or shitified. Lastfm is one of the few places to have done it right imo. Don't get me wrong, self hosting is great, but self host the music before you care about the stats

Can Matt Groening Recapture Lightning with New Futurama Episodes?
Considering I don't really think they did the other 3 times, I'm going to say probably not. To me the series ends with Devil's Hands. The rest is fine once a year, but it's not on an almost continuous loop like S1-5

Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible.
Reply in thread
Centralized power in the hands of a few is a bad thing. People have been complaining about power-tripping Reddit power mods for years.
Because what happens when they don't mod to the standard the community wants?

my magazine
and thus the entire issue with reddit. The glory of the fediverse is that there can be competition. You do not work for Disney, you do not own Disney. The community is not yours because you got to it first. If you want to own a Disney forum, start your own website.
We should not be allowing FB/IG to gain their foothold on the work of other people, yet again, so they can eventually take control once it's too late to stop them. Especially not because it would help your own ego and foothold on a community you do not own.

Have encountered racism, hate speech or homophobia on the fediverse yet?

No, you don't argue with them. You berate them. You harass them. Treat them with their own medicine. They aren't intelligent enough to get got with knowledge. That's why it hasn't worked. You've tried to outsmart people without brains.

Spotify Alternative for streaming server
Spotify just shows you want they want you to listen to, just like any other streaming service. I've found more cool music within the past few years thanks to music communities than I ever did from Spotify, not to mention the giant amount of music that isn't even on Spotify to begin with.

An Extended Look at Armored Core 6
Game looks cool, but I can't stand this guy. He's speaking as if this is some third eye opening transcendental art piece. The... pausing between... words as if you should focus... on them because they're important and special... is really annoying... because it's just... a video game. It's like he's trying to show us some deep wisdom from a gameplay trailer.
