In the article it mentions emulation as the only method to play some games. I mean, that’s a good thing right? Digital Media can be copied and shared over and over. Physical media can get lost, destroyed, hoarded. More work needs to be put into perfecting emulation software, and we need to ensure there is a backup of every game ever released.
This is me as well. gen z, hate that trillion dollar corporations run our social media. The fediverse is the future.
I was told it was a lemur…
^ This is the best one.
This this this. The fediverse being “confusing” keeps the idiots, boomers, trolls, and overall horrible people away. Having to learn something new is too much for those people. Lemmy/Mastodon and so on are “nerd” platforms, and I really like it that way.
Must suck to be you I guess.
I like Mastodon, it’s fun, I can find pretty reliable information about a breaking news topic, and there are some cool people you can follow. But I really dislike furries and hate seeing their content. It’s like for every 10 cool people, there is a furry. Sometimes, a post will get boosted that I like. I go to their page and it ends up being a lot of furry porn/art. I really, really don’t want to see it, ever.
It’s because 100s of migrants drowning at sea is something horrible that regular people can’t do anything about. It makes us sad, and angry. Just like almost every other story about billionaire greed and the coming climate disaster.
Now, a bunch of ultra rich, regulation hating, planet destroying losers dying in a tiny submersible because they have the kind of money to go see the titanic for fun? That’s the kind of story that makes us feel good. It’s karma.
We need more people here. I imagine a lot of Lemmy users use both platforms, maybe one more than the other. Advertising our space is a good thing. Plus, “normies” who have no idea what happened to reddit recently will go to r/place and maybe get educated.
