It’s because not enough bigger instances have thrown in the towel and defederated lemmy.ml. Many people are able to ignore this issue when it hasn’t happened to them which is why they still choose to create communities there. Defederation though is harder to ignore since it kills your chances of starting a community there.

Shameful clickbait article which doesn’t even seem to mention the game that was supposedly shut down. This person should be ashamed for writing this and honestly you should be ashamed for posting it. This is an utterly useless article.

Yeah I wouldn’t say any of the controller or remote control typing implementations are quick or easy. Even on Kodi I use an external keyboard (built into the remote control I got for my libreElec media player).

Thank you for all the hard work, it’s much appreciated.

Nicole is a well known spammer, they spammed DMs to many people here saying their name was Nicole and to meet them in various social spaces. They made hundreds of alt accounts on many many instances.

I agree, as it stands sh.itjust.works has one of the best instances in my opinion. At least for users who are new to Lemmy since it has the easiest signup and is also very stable.

I never actually bought an AMD card per say but I have been very disappointed with Nvidia and their laptop GPUs. It feels like those things put out more heat than work.

Recently got a laptop with an AMD GPU and CPU and it’s like night and day difference.

You’re very welcome. Happy to help.

It was disgusting when I tried it. I don’t think it helped that it was wood fired so the broccoli and carrots were heavily singed. Was very gross. It also barely had any cheese on it.

If you could force users to use an app like Reddit does you could get device data. Though short of that not really. Browser fingerprinting and tracking cookie placement (What Reddit uses in their web session) is described that way by lay people (and people trying to fear monger or dissuade ban evasion) but Browsers like Tor or Mullvad defeat that very easily by not saving the data and randomizing the fingerprinting data.

Most Lemmy users wouldn’t use a locked down black box app similar to the Reddit app though. It would be a red flag for many of them. An instance which requires that would not be popular.

It’s more worth while to drum up support for defederation since that removes any instances who take it from being part of their userbase, and weakens the network effect they have here. Remember they’re still dominating the Linux and Privacy communities on Lemmy and the discussion based fediverse in general.

Yup, I’ve already seen a few. Including their main account.

Correction bans only work for people who respect the paradigm of “not being allowed to sign up again when banned” and “not being allowed to lie on registration application” if it’s present on the server.

Normal people don’t get permabanned from servers left, right, and center.

Anyone ever seen or even tried broccoli and carrots on Pizza? It’s truly disgusting.

Forgot the /s or /j there’s people who might take you seriously. Including dragonfucker.

Yup, that’s one of their favorites to spam.

Let’s also not forget their emoji spamming either. They absolutely trashed many threads on servers federated with them.

Aaand they’ve already moved to chapo.chat. Probably should let all the instance admins who defederated hexbear before know before they’re refederated unknowingly.

That’s going to be a nightmare honestly if they do. Since there are so many Servers now with a big stick in their ass about defederation and only Defederated Hexbear after a lot of persuasion. This will probably end up giving their instance a second chance on many instances which defederated them before.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] We may want to be on the lookout for their new domain whenever they migrate to it.

Edit: Their new domain is chapo.chat, we should probably block them before they try to refederate with us and spam our users.

I wouldn’t entirely agree, it’s shit because Google and Apple enable the practice by providing app Advertising frameworks and fighting back against people working against those systems (i.e. mobile ad blocking and app firewalls, either through store policy or public discouragement).

Developers are incentivised because advertising both:

1. Gives reoccurring revenue, beyond what a purchase would give.
2. It makes people more likely to pick them up since people easily pick things up that are cheap or even free.

Advertising basically takes away the need to sell stuff and allows poaching revenue from people even if they don’t want to support the app. I’ve known many Devs who will try to eek out more revenue by click fraud (auto clicking their own ads).

So I’m not really a fan of implying this is our fault or “devs gotta eat too”. This practice is very much corporate greed.
