This account is new, but I trust it.

Before she died, my mother would always prescribe me ketamine before bed. I can’t sleep because I miss her so much, can you do that for me?

Well after all these years I’ve gotten used to it, but my vision is very blurry in that eye. There’s also injury to the macula so there’s a giant gray spot in my near vision. It’s kinda like a giant peripheral vision, but I’m also more sensitive to big changes in brightness

I’d say it’s more than just a hole. I had an eye injury when I was a teenager that caused a detached iris. I didn’t have a massive pupil, I had 2 small, irregularly shaped pupils. After surgery, I now have a permanently dilated pupil shaped like a teardrop

I think that it’s a pretty reasonable assumption that intersection of people familiar with alternativeto and the people interested in seeking Facebook alternatives on the fediverse are also more than capable of spinning up a friendica instance on an rpi

Friendica is starting to seem like a fantastic option to serve as a hub account to the fediverse! There’s a reason people liked Facebook at one point, and I think they’re on the right track to advancing the idea with less corrupting influences

you’ll also need to remember to interact with the platform like you were with them in public, for a few reasons. Plus the Internet could stand to be less harsh

Thank you, every ounce of support I get is what keeps me fighting. It’s fine if you disagree, I very well could be overconfident

I’m already fighting an unfair labor practice, I’m not interested in being sued for violating NDA.

I’m speaking with industry knowledge on the state of gaming. It’s coming.

I don’t think you understand the outsized influence a few hundred activists can be. I was 1 of about 30 people who helped organize AQAU, one of the biggest unions in the industry, 600 people encompassing all of publisher-side QA.

Correct, the reason I gave a 5 year window is because the investment into Linux support is tiny right now so they don’t accidentally cut into the quarterlies.

I was illegally fired for organizing unions. The labor activist world is tiny. I’m able to make these statements with the confidence that I do, because I’ve talked to hundreds of people in several game companies.

You’re right on all accounts, I oversimplified for humor. Server-side IS more expensive and does exist in limited ways. Rolling matches on dedi servers are highly profitable, unfortunately the old school days of matchmaking are over for everything except indie companies that want to replicate the nostalgia

I am, remember? I just told you that I was (is, will continue to be) a game developer. I’ve already considered cost of development.

Every person excluded from a purchase is money lost in the eyes of corporations. It’s why boycotts work when they’re properly organized. It’s why microtransactions are usually less than $5. I’ve been in corporate meetings for game companies before, I was recently illegally fired. The addition of Linux support is coming, but the big corporations need motivation to do it quickly.

When it comes to large corporations, they’re very risk adverse but will ruthlessly pursue every stray penny. It always bubbles up from the indie companies, so expect native Linux support for specifically steamOS so they don’t have to contend with the GPL and FOSS advocates by 2030.

Ok so if you agree that their playerbase of millions marks a successful game, then why do you consider the possibility of millions of players insignificant?

Call of Duty is the biggest fps game in the world, every year. Their playerbase is “only” in the millions, so I suppose you agree with the executives that it’s not nearly successful enough?

The steamdeck runs on Arch. Games with windows-only anticheat excludes millions of potential players.
