They want to turn games into jobs lmao

Yes. The good the projects do tend to outweight the bad. Thats how I like to think about it anyway.

Is there a way to block instances locally per account? Like on mastodon where I can block a huge list of instances: If I block an instance I wouldnt see content/comments originated from those.

Unfortunately people like to cheat. Cheating ruins multiplayer games and drives people away from playing the game, no matter how fun it is. Thus the need for rat-race called anticheats.

However! We already had solution for this: Dedicated servers. If there was a cheater on the server, you could just yell on IRC that who is cheating and someone would come to ban the asshat. It worked way better than anticheats.

I agree that its not for everyone but I was bothered by the "its difficult to be part of gaming social culture where everyone buys games at launch" or something like that.

It's sad that we even have peer pressure to buy new shitty AAA games on launch. Part of me is glad that linux kind of forced me out of that hype driven exploitative crap that is AAA games. I mostly play indies now.

That being said, pretty valid critique. But like was said in this thread, attitude matters: If you are willing to learn and are into computery stuff, you'll get way more value out of linux than from windows, even if you can't play the newest lootbox shooter.

(I do miss playing Apex Legends tho but I'm not booting to Windows to play that lol.. Would also be nice to try Halo Infinite someday.)

The funny thing is, this was tried with second life. It flopped hard. I assume same will happen with "metaverse."

Do not read the comments there. Save your braincells.

Isnt metaverse just second life with vr?

We definitely need some anti-clickbait bot here

Happy new year!

It would be foolish to trust any of these services blindly.

However matrix is the better alternative to many, for now.

Also the part about matrix being created for military: Most of our technology is derived from military use. Sadly the best motivator for human beings to create a new thing is "how we can use it to control/kill?"

I have the community for my projects in discord, due to most of my projects being games. But for my FOSS projects, if someone has bugs or something I ask them to create issue on the relevant github page. I may eventually move to codeberg but idk yet.
