For those who care OnlyOffice has ties to Russia

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/serious-claims-made-against-onlyoffice/11644/32

I use libreoffice.

Proton marketing itself on privacy while recently calling out the danger of tech oligarchs makes their decision to leave Mastodon and keep using Twitter very confusing. Lot of mixed signals.

Even huge companies like Google have encountered roadblocks trying to expand broadband services because of regulations.

PC launchers though is one that can be started even by you on Windows or Linux with the difficulty being getting customers as opposed to whether you are even allowed to make a launcher in the first place.

Companies still fear piracy so DRM isn’t going anywhere, and companies are still reluctant to release games on PC.

Hate of monopolies is one I have when a company uses their position to make products worse than it was before like Sony and Nintendo moving to charging for multiplayer. And it’s a monopoly on a platform they don’t control. There’s no regulatory body preventing launchers from popping up like broadband expansion being blocked by government lobbying like traditional monopolies.

When steam shifts in bad direction I’ll complain too. For now I haven’t found reason to complain about Steam. I like the product Steam offers simple as that. I don’t care about the personalities of the CEO or how much money it makes. It’s not some checkmark of X is Y so must hate.

But people here don’t really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn’t matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I’m saying to achieve what you want.

I’m not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

I never tried anything other than old.reddit.com. And I’ll never try the dreadful reddit app. Redesign has always been trash and terrible at loading content and pushes trash topics at users.

I’ve had to block off entire instances too which I use the Connect app for.

I never found “all” browsable for any platform whether it be lemmy, YouTube, or reddit. It’s why subscribing has been so important to me, and filtering. Like on YouTube which I access through freetube I’ve disabled “trending” and “popular” since even the thumbnails were obnoxious for majority of the videos, and I blocked out channels to keep them from dominating search results. And on reddit what even made /r/all viewable was a reddit enhancement suite filter lists that was in the hundreds for blocking of communities, and even then was a wack a mole that required keyword filtering.

All of any platform will devolve into a shit show. As for niche subs. Yeah, not much that can be done about that if the user base is small.

Secret sequel to Bully.

I’ve never watched game awards. I don’t even know if there is even a main one. Watches speeches is boring which is why I don’t watch award shows in general.

Only goty I care about is the goty edition where the game releases with all the DLCs bundled at a discount.

Been great for using my Playstation and Nintendo controllers.

It won’t be released on PC for many more years because the double dipping strategy has worked for the past three Rockstar titles.

I have no trust in Bioware with last game of theirs I bothered to get being Mass Effect 3, and being highly skeptical of Andromeda even before the memes over the launch bugs.

It doesn’t. But, doesn’t excuse parental responsibility either, since they are the one with the final deciding factor. Especially over monetary access.

They are the one that controls finances in the household and what their kids own.

They’ll probably think we didn’t have enough DLCs and microtransactions to make people happy, and out DRM needs to be more intrusive to improve our sales.

We vote with our wallets. It’s the huge majority of the mainstream audience that also voted with their wallet by buying that makes out opinions irrelevant.

The people who care enough to complain are also largely the ones who keep buying it, so they train companies to realize that complaining is something that can be ignored because it’s all bark and no bite.
