Oh didn’t know that, thanks!

I agree those arguments have no legal ground, but I don’t believe emulators are made with the primary purpose of circumventing protections, it’s just naive to think people wouldn’t use them for that purpose IMO.

Haha :D English is not my first language, if the wording is not correct or there’s a better way of saying it, I welcome any correction :)

Valve then forwarded us the statement from Nintendo’s lawyers, and told us that we had to come to an agreement with Nintendo in order to release on Steam.

We all know Nintendo is a bitch and there’s nothing illegal in emulators, but Valve’s stance looks reasonable to me, it would be serious damage to Steam if they were involved in legal litigation.

There is no way someone can link your username to who you are in person, unless it’s you who write it out.

Laws don’t protect people from themselves.

Ideas and opinions are NOT identifiable information, unless you’re so smart to as openly writing your personal data on a public forum (something noone should ever do, it’s even bannable on reddit), your comments and posts do NOT contain and personally identifiable info, only your account does.

True, but the language is independent from that.

I mean, the language itself has a set of “features”, not all of them are implemented on all platforms as you rightfully said, but it’s not that the language changes because there are differences in the implementations.

Markdown is not Lemmy tho, it’s a markup language independent of the platform, like HTML, reddit uses it as well, also github and mediawiki (wikipedia) and many others.

While each platform can provide formatting help, it’s not the entire language, have a look here: https://www.markdownguide.org/

Terraria. It’s a sort of hybrid between a minecraft 2d and an action RPG, really fun game with lots of content.

You can play it as standalone or as co-op and the server component is included in the game for you to host it if you want.

Tho If by interesting you mean MMOs, there are emulators for a few of them, WoW is my favorite (TrinityCore, AzerothCore), but know that opening them up to public use is illegal (copyright violation).

Edit: added github links to wow emulators.

Who controls the Overseer Control?

That’s interesting, tho I’d rather have that info seen by admins only, it could lead to brigading/harassment otherwise IMO.

all personal data from EU users must remain in the EU

Create your account on a EU server, problem solved.

Lemmy (fediverse in general) doesn’t send account data away, and posts don’t qualify as personal data, when you publish something to the internet, it’s public by definition.

Hi, your post ended up in the wrong community.

Hello :)

I’m not really a “selfhoster” but I thought I’d present myself anyway since you asked :D

I do a little bit of it but only for personal use, I don’t have the skills to selfhost for public use.

I have Gitea, Planka, Dokuwiki, Apache+MariaDB, and self-compiled World of Warcraft server emulators (TrinityCore, CMangos and AzerothCore).

I’m perfectly fine without Ponzi schemes thanks.

p.s. for those who don’t know

650 servers?? they were just a bunch when I joined a week ago, that’s a crazy growth!

p.s thanks for crossposting, site is very useful

I think it depends on the company.

If you think about paying big ones to have an ads-free experience, you have to keep in mind they still track you and sell metrics for ad targeting, that is they sell “your data” even if they don’t show you ads, why should I pay them if they don’t pay me for my data?

Different matter IMO if we talk about smaller companies (or small developers) that are still focused on providing a good service or app, I pay for protonmail for example, in some cases, paying a little bit might make a big difference to those developing.

Even more different if we talk about supporting opensource projects, that can’t be even considered “paying”, it’s donations to make it so those projects can go on since they’re not “monetized” in any way.

When did they do that? I tried just now and it’s not banned.

It’s possible they setup bots to scan links to lemmy and automatically remove them, if they’re really doing that, it means they’re scared.

going to grab more popcorn

relying to lots of ads and older demographics low-literacy masses to sustain

FIFY

Among the “older demographics” there are the most “nerdy” people, those born when personal computers and the internet didn’t exist, those growing up together with technology, used to a world when corporations didn’t destroy the good of sharing knowledge.

Those are the people most likely to rebel to what reddit is doing and find their way out if it, because they know it’s possible, because they’ve seen it before.

Youngest people are used to how the world is nowadays because it’s all they’ve seen, but they can be shown the difference if they’re willing to listen.

Low-literacy masses are those who don’t listen because they don’t care, people of that sort exist in every age “range” and are unfortunately the majority of content “consumers”, that’s why Facebook(/Instagram/WhatsApp) doesn’t die, and Reddit won’t either most probably.
