I hate how YouTube seems to intentionally show salacious ads if you opt out of ad personalization. I get a ton of Temu spam despite not purchasing anything from that app or even having it on my phone, and the ads themselves usually feature scantily-clad women that takes up 70% of the screen. I've made a habit of just opening up the comments section and keeping them open the entire duration of the video. It really feels like YouTube/Google/Alphabet is saying "oh, you don't want people around you to think you're a perv? Let us collect more data about you so you can save face in public when you use our app at the gym or at work."

Real ones remember vlemmy.net. One of the first instances post-Reddit migration to go away suddenly

TIL the dev of Iron Lung, an acclaimed indie horror game, faced significant backlash over increasing the price from $6 to $8 ( www.ign.com )

Then, responding to those who have said he’s “only doing this for the money", Szymanski tweeted: “Yes, no fucking shit. I make games for a living. If I didn't want to earn money from them I wouldn't charge money for them.”...

"I like the business model of ‘I want money so I make something that I think is worth money, and you pay me that money and you get the thing, and we're all happy’,” Szymanski continued. “That's it. There's nothing complicated or hidden here.

Lmao I love it, gonna get this game now

The unsealed court order wasn’t just fishing for a list of vague identifiers that could be winnowed down to a list of suspects and a follow-up warrant demanding actual identifying information on these ~30,000 YouTube users. No, it appears the feds led with the big ask, demanding names, addresses, phone numbers, and user activity for every viewer of these videos between January 1-8, 2023. AND(!!) it asked Google to provide IP addresses for all viewers who were not logged into (or did not possess) Google accounts.

That's fucked

He looks eerily similar to Chevy Chase in Vice

I've enjoyed No Man's Sky since day 1. I didn't really follow the game or any of the major hype behind it, I just saw a cool space game on ps4 and played the hell out of it. Fell in love with the music, the setting, and just walking around weird landscapes, flying to different atlas stations, and just enjoying being alone.

I still play it, and am so happy HG continues to give the game constant love and attention, but there are days I turn networking off on my ps4 and play the 1.0 version again, just to go back to that part of my life for a little bit.

If this ever goes to court I doubt Reddit wants to open this can of worms, as well as every other social media company lol

Taking a cursory look I feel like posts still aren't being engaged with like they used to. I remember seeing posts with 100,000 upvotes very regularly on the front page, but you really don't see that anymore. Yeah maybe they tweaked their calculations but why make your site look like it's not as engaging as before right before a major IPO offer?

I think it's more winning the battle but losing the war for Twitter. It just ain't the same and probably never will be.

I didn't know there was a YouTube channel for this series, I really enjoyed the book so this is a pleasant surprise

As a hobbyist, Godot is probably the most "fun" engine I've worked in. The software itself feels like a toy, similar to Gamemaker (at least from what I remember when I used it like 10 years ago as a kid lol). Coming from C# background, using GDscript wasn't as bad as I thought, and making small projects in a weekend has really itched the problem-solving part in my brain. I'm trying to re-create popular flash games that I remember playing back in the day and seeing what improvements I can make.
