Joke’s on Ozzy if that was an international flight, you get free drinks on those whether or not someone next to you dies

I agree that that specific use case is a pain, but I don’t think federated logins are the fix for it. Rather, links to posts on other instances should be automatically translated to a link to the federated version of that post on your home instance, such that you can interact with that post without having to re-log-in. There’s a bunch of issues in the Lemmy GitHub project related to this, so hopefully it gets implemented soon.

In my opinion, federating logins kind of defeats one of the main purposes of federation though, which is to give the user control over where their user information lives.

That’s the point of the AI disclosure though, to inform customers that your game contains AI generated content. And the amount of games containing AI generated content is incomparable to the amount of foods containing carbon (ie, all of them).

Also, if a developer uses AI to “respond to some email”, by my reading of Steam’s rules governing AI disclosures, they wouldn’t need to disclose that. So I’m not sure why you’re bringing that up.

This analogy would make more sense if GenAI was an integral component of literally every video game we play, but it isn’t, not even close

We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.

We don’t do that with self-delusion and deflecting blame though.

The blame doesn’t rest solely on conservatives for this current situation, sure. Some of it falls on the huge number of people who “protest voted”. Some of it rests on the Democratic party for pretending to be the party of the people, but really just being a milquetoast center-right corporatist party that serves the same masters as the Republican party.

For any of us to “come together” and “agree about what we are to do from here,” for any one group to trust the other, we all have to come to terms with and accept our share of the blame. Deflecting blame or deluding ourselves with rhetoric like “we didn’t do anything wrong, we were just lied to” is unproductive. No side will trust the other as long as anyone is still making excuses for themselves.

Be adults, look inward instead of projecting blame, accept responsibility for your actions, and then maybe we can come together to fight against fascism.

I don’t think the lack of “federated login” is unintuitive. You wouldn’t expect going to gmail.com and logging in with your Yahoo credentials to work, right?

Having a “federated login” service would probably either add a ton of complexity for instance owners, or someone would implement some super naive and insecure centralized solution, leading to a bunch of people’s creds getting stolen.

Getting the post/<id> thing to work across instances would be a pain too, because it would require instances to all coordinate post IDs to ensure collisions don’t happen, since far as I can tell, the id in the URL isn’t globally unique.

Nah I don’t really want you to keep talking to me

And I was just adding extra details

This worry exists for literally every 3rd party dependency, not just docker, and is addressed the same way - by running tests and vulnerability scans in a sandboxed test environment before shipping to prod

I am trying to focus on longer-term strategy and removing barriers for my team

This is literally the pragmatic, by-the-book definition of a scrum master lol

The only one ignoring things is you. You’re ignoring my whole point. Which is that your personal bar for enshittification is lower than any of the definitions we’ve given in this thread, because it’s basically “anything I think is bad is enshittification”

You get all these meatheads with delusions of being some sort of Spartan badass because they took 300 as a documentary.

And are either too stupid or too ashamed to recognize all the thinly veiled homoerotic themes

It was a feature that they added a long time ago, and it doesn’t interfere with or worsen the experience of buying, organizing, or playing my video games… Plenty of other products and services out there have features that some don’t like or don’t use, but that isn’t the same thing as enshittification.

I have explained it though

I’m not ignoring anything, I just don’t agree that the steam marketplace, and all the stuff you’re talking about related to the steam marketplace, fits either of our definitions of enshittification.

Yeah one of the most memorable story moments in the campaign I’m in right now came from our party hitting some incredibly lucky rolls and basically one shotting a sentinel enemy that was supposed to make us turn back from the dungeon we were in and gone back later when we were stronger. We then found the boss encounter of that dungeon way underleveled, and had to do some serious strategizing and outside the box thinking to come out on top. It was super fun for us as players, and we felt super proud of ourselves when the DM told us what we had done after the session. It was also super fun for the DM since he had to kind of throw together the rest of the encounter on the fly.

Yeah, maybe. A lot of that is also probably people that put up someone’s 80 hour Minecraft vod on repeat to fall asleep to

And they only switched from using a black box to a cloud so it was less scary looking for the marketing types

Eh, maybe I’m being pedantic, but I still don’t really see how the addition of the steam marketplace is an example of the steam platform declining in quality. It was a feature that they added a long time ago, and it doesn’t interfere with or worsen the experience of buying, organizing, or playing my video games. Sure it’s a needless addition (in our opinions), but one that I can easily ignore because it’s so isolated from the main product. Plenty of other products and services out there have features that some don’t like or don’t use, but that isn’t the same thing as enshittification. And I feel like the spam would happen regardless of if the marketplace was there or not. That feels more like a moderation problem, not an enshittification problem.

Some of these are minor inconveniences, but that’s how enshittification happens. It’s little, creeping annoyances that get worse and worse until it starts to make people look for alternatives.

Ok, maybe my definition of enshittification is off then. I thought it was when some company offers some product/service for a certain price (or free), then gradually removes features from that product/service while increasing the price. Am I off?

If that definition is right, I don’t understand how the steam marketplace, a completely optional (borderline tangential) part of the steam platform, qualifies as enshittification.

And I’m not trying to defend the steam marketplace, I think it’s stupid and terrible and at minimum needs age restrictions. But like, you can absolutely just not use it and your experience using the steam platform is totally unaffected.
