The ad blocker works well enough for me. I see no reason to switch browsers.

Congrats on the release!

How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.

I didn't say they deserve no protection at all. You are twisting my words because my opinion doesn't align with yours.

I advocate for games having a clear indicator for any online dependencies. I do not advocate for outlawing said dependencies or mandating "offline patches".

If you are clearly told that you're buying an ephemeral product and you are still surprised when it shuts down, then I don't know what to tell you.

This basically boils down to "read the terms & conditions", which isn't unreasonable.

If a game states in its terms that access may be revoked at any time and you buy the game, then you have no reason to be surprised when access is eventually revoked.

Obviously when terms aren't clear enough or intentionally obfuscated, that's indeed an issue for legislation to act upon.

All this wouldn't be necessary if gamers would just stop buying games that are obviously live services with remote kill switches.

It's unsolicited advice.

It would be like you posting about a minor annoyance with Minecraft, and then having multiple people tell you to ditch it and play Minetest instead.

Lemmy users will cancel this for not being hardwired to defederate with Threads :^)

A Vivaldi blog post posted to the Vivaldi Lemmy community is an ad to you???

Accurate representation of the Firefox fandom

And that was the end of GOG

How?

I'm confused. I opened the first 6 issues featured in your lemmy-ui link and you closed them all yourself?

I wouldn't mind if EU made it mandatory for them to be

They did. Signal and Threema just aren't interested: https://www.androidpolice.com/signal-threema-nothing-to-do-with-whatsapp-eu/

All the people that reply saying "But it is easy, I did it" fail to realize that their personal circumstances can't just be applied to everyone else.

I did it too. Most of my contacts were not willing to switch. My colleagues at work stayed in their WhatsApp group, and many of my close friends did too. I essentially cut myself off from most of my social circles and threw myself into social isolation. Not a good time.

I ended up rejoining WhatsApp and concluded that in this instance, my mental health is more valuable than the privacy I gain by not participating in WhatsApp.

Not a fan of clickbait.

Maybe ask the people what they find confusing about Mastodon, and listen.

I'll give you example. Say I want to sign up , but mastodon.social has currently closed sign-ups. People tell me I can just sign up on any instance, but there's dozens of them and they all appear to be the same. As someone who's not familiar with federated services, I don't know what to base my instance decision on.

How would you help me overcome this choice paralysis?
