Specifically the “open” web. They recently said the web was thriving from their point of view. Since they’re a major part of what is “closing” the web.

ᑐ ᑌ ᑎ ᕮ@lemmy.world•Dune: Awakening Loses Nearly 80% of Its Players Just Seven Weeks After LaunchEnglish
6·9 months agoThis game is and always will be a fan game. It had a lot of potential but, there was some huge elements that just made it, well, for lack of better words bad.
They also screwed over fans, which wasn’t a smart move.
It’s literally impossible to finish the main quests without going into forced PvP areas, even on “private” servers(they’re shared with other private servers). Which killed all interest I had in the game once I reached that point.
Although I might check it out again nowthat most people have stopped playing, since the risk of encountering someone is probably lower.

In this case “upscale” means “ripoff”, it’s $15 for orange juice, or a plain bagel.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.ioEnglish
9·9 months agoThat’s their goal for sure, what I mean is how are they pretending to justify it?
The same way they always do: “WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?!?!1111”

Linux@programming.dev•Linux's Modern NTFS Driver Will Now Correctly Handle Symlinks Created On WindowsEnglish
10·9 months agoThis is like seeing those php jokes in programming humor communities. Because they’re clearly made by someone who is well over a decade out of date with their information.
For reference symbolic links were properly introduced in Vista(2006), but junction points were available before that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Itch.io deindexes NSFW games after becoming the latest target of skittish credit card companies and anti-porn group Collective Shout, catching an award-winning indie and more in the crossfireEnglish
2·9 months agoExactly. They “crawl” category/tag lists, etc. and follow links. And if there are no links to those pages, they wont be indexed.
(Depending on some settings. For all I know they’ve set up “hidden redirects” for popular crawlers to pages that show them)

2·9 months agoedit: right, respective tags list no porn games anymore.
Which could cause them to no longer be indexed by search engines depending on other settings. So you’d need to find direct links from other websites.

21·9 months agoDeindexed/delisted, not removed.
Try putting the names into the search field on the site, or browsing for them in the categories they are in.
People flip images to avoid repost detection on some social media sites. Then someone else reposts that on a different platform.

Games@lemmy.world•Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?English
10·9 months agoNot at all.
More attention means more people see it, so even if the percentage of complainers haven’t changed, there are more people who know.
On top of that, there was criticism before. There’s that streamer who was mocked relentlessly in comments and some defending him, there were articles about game developer lobby groups complaining that were posted here, etc.

World News@lemmy.world•‘Japanese First’ party emerges as election force with tough immigration talkEnglish
581·9 months agoDon’t forget that like most racist and anti-immigration parties of the world, they have ties to Russia.
The head of the party of course denied this, as he did in the past when he tried to claim that Russia wasn’t really responsible for the war in Ukraine…

World News@lemmy.world•Two UK pro-Palestine organisations have bank accounts frozenEnglish
6·9 months agoPut on some traditional TV news and you’ll basically be told that there are no civilians there.
The average boomer think the entire place is 100% terrorists. They’re not told about the suffering of innocents. And this isn’t me speaking about America, I’m talking about non-conservative European news. The amount of propaganda is mind boggling.

Technology@lemmy.world•Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speedsEnglish
2·9 months agoYeah, I’ve had a fiber cable running all the way into my apartment for over a decade, and directly into my router for years.
Most memes or jokes referencing a direct problem in PHP, are old or made by people who haven’t touched the language in a decade(version 7 was in 2015, and it removed/fixed a lot of issues and added needed features).
There’s also the huge looming thing that a lot of programmers forget: Websites like Wikipedia run on PHP, not to mention the amount of WordPress and similar websites are out there. Which means it will keep going strong. And for a while Facebook also used quite a lot of it, to the point where they made a rudimentary compiler instead of rewriting parts in more efficient languanges.
I mean, this is just a given.
Half a day in the ER in the Nordics might cost the same as a night at a cheap motel in the US. While the same time and treatement in a US ER could pay for a weekend in some of the more expensive hotels in the world.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?English
105·9 months agoThat NASA has done a zero-gravity intercourse experiment.
The 50th shuttle mission had married couple and it included spacelab. A pressurized and habitable module that could be isolated from the rest of the crew. Even before launch they were asked if it would happen, and denied it, as NASA has afterwards as well.
It doesn’t help that several of the listed experiments was about human health, developmental biology and included animals and eggs to study ovulation, fertilization, cell division and growth.

63·9 months agoThey’ve admitted that.
Someone at Pentagon was recently investigating UFO conspiracies and found that several kept looping back to them. And they realized that at least one was directly planted by themselves during the cold war to confuse the USSR about what weapons were real or not.


Doesn’t defend!? They’re straight up just posting the stream keys…
