Maybe so, but I could still imagine her signing some awful bills because “people” wanted it. No where near as bad as what is to come but still awful.

That could go either way, for all anyone knows she’d make a horrible president.

Hear me out, there are trans people who are indeed extremists (I should know, I’ve been victim to many of them). However that doesn’t mean all trans people are. Trans people are just people, and like all people there are good ones, evil ones, and ones who make mistakes.

Hexbear are extremists though, there might be some decently alright people on there but for the most pat the active ones there are very extreme and tend to spam, lash out, throw insults, and it’s very likely they were the ones who DDoSed Lemmy.world in the days of frequent outages shortly after Lemmy.world denied them. OP you made the right call, it is a very bad idea to recommend people go to hexbear.

They’re destroying whatever credibility they might’ve had by acting like trolls. Like at this point they might as well be posting racist wojak memes in these cards.

It really doesn’t help their cause or make people want to believe them, and even to normies it comes off as extremely hard grasping. It makes them look weaker. It only helps the cause for people who already onboard, which is useless because those people are already onboard, it’s preaching to the choir.

In Markdown you need to add a blank line between the quoted section and your response to it otherwise your response will be included in the quote.

I don’t know I think some of their songs are cool. Some of them aren’t that good but that’s the case with all artists. They all have duds at some point.

Don’t do that in Brazil or Venezuela, great way to get your ass kicked (it’s a very rude and insulting gesture over there).

There is also plenty of evidence he has been doing illegal lotteries, archived livestreams where he would claim to give away money to people if they order the Xth tee-shirt, real shady stuff. So yeah he’s definitely a grifter.

PC fans are very cheap though, most aren’t $700 but even if they were, old decommissioned computers are cheap or even free an the fans in those will likely work well enough anyway.

The main suggestion isn’t simply verification of Matrix accounts but being able to use a Matrix account instead of email to sign-up to servers. Also to be able to use Matrix in addition to Email for account recovery. Would be an alternate method of verifying the account, as well as enforcing usage of Matrix usage if Lemmy admins desire that.

The verification of Matrix account ownership isn’t really the primary goal, it’s just a nice side effect. It wouldn’t be in effect though unless the server had one of the first two options checked, if it’s the other two options it wouldn’t need to be verified to be added.

@kariboka@social.harpia.red Might be able to, but that might be a bit complex since XMPP has the same syntax as email (address@domain.tld), the way that Matrix is, it has a different syntax than email (@username:domain.tld) so the sign-up form could detect it differently than email. Which is why the requirement would be “Matrix or Email required”, not “Matrix and Email required”. Then you could have one single line in the sign-up form and it would still be familiar to most users.

Not sure, I guess it would depend on the game, and whether or not it was badly affected enough by the update for Valve to consider it broken by the update.

Exactly, adding it later just means people can use the earlier versions. Some wiseasses may argue about missing content but that’s a stupid argument since cracked games don’t get updates to them either unless new cracks are published, and that doesn’t happen as often as actual updates are published.

Thankfully it doesn’t happen very often and if a game is out for a long while it’s a safe bet it very likely won’t be added. If they do though that curator still helps because it makes it more visible on the store page, so you can give a negative review, block its updates, and downgrade to a previous version without it (whether that’s officially through Steam’s downgrade tools, or downloading it elsewhere depends on the circumstance). Or remove it from your account if you don’t care about it anymore.

I figure they must think they can make their games sell better if they include it because it still hasn’t occurred to these dumbasses that if your games suck people just won’t buy them. Maybe its cope, after all you can’t tap into a market of people who don’t want your game (well I mean you can, but most companies don’t consider scamming people), so they assume all the people not buying it are pirating it.

Denuvo Games Curator Gives a great and clear indicator so there’s no way you could possibly buy one by accident, like the trolls keep trying to argue will happen.

I haven’t made any arguments in this thread, you are putting words in my mouth, and not really helping your credibility. All I said is that the person should defederate Lemmy instances and communities which go against the mission of their instance. Something that almost all instance operators would likely agree on.

Just for the record though, I don’t believe people should be kicked out of a project based on their nationality, that seems incredibly xenophobic. I don’t know where you got that idea that I said any of those things from.

Still worth while to do so, the trick is you need to defederate problematic instances. Not hide them, fully defederate. That stops problematic instances and communties from affecting your userbase. There’s many great Lemmy servers and communties out there. Just because a few of them aren’t great doesn’t mean you should dismiss all of them.

So a flat-earther who was a globe-earther at the same time? Wild

Would there be? Not too many people go all the way to the south pole, most who do are scientists. Not the likely type to do graffiti.
