Red Alert was my gateway drug to computer games, it’s so fun to see people still caring for it

Never thought we’d agree on anything
Spoilers: they won’t, it’ll leak, they’ll deny it
Lit. It’s a good ask although it’s not clear what separation means here. Not going to hold my breath, the big corpos seem to usually win these kind of games.
I wonder about this a lot. The little research I did suggested DigitalOcean is footing the bill for the moment (and also for Pixelfed? would love to hear more about this). Google, Facebook, TikTok, etc… have all managed to throw enough resources at similar products that people expect a level of performance that is very expensive to maintain. There is some serious hardware and distribution issues ($$$$) with trying to host an “instant and endless stream of short form video”.
In a counter point though I think large instances like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have found ways to survive and thrive and the fediverse generally seems to be supported in a very grassroots sort of fashion. Donations, patrons, people who have the hardware and bandwidth sharing what they can for the greater community. Perhaps loops will go the same way.
I just want to say I really appreciate this creator, asianometry covers lots of neat topics and does so really well imho
Critical reading skills here, thank you for sharing
I cannot agree with this more. The first time I realized I just didn’t enjoy the adrenaline rush of a jump scare was watching I am Legend and after like the 5th jump scare I was worn out and upset about it.
thanks for sharing! added to my prowlarrr
This was a neat read, thanks for sharing!
you absolute beast
You’re a saint, much appreciated
Interesting story, thanks for sharing!
I see more engagement across my Lemmy feeds every week. It’s definitely smaller and slower here but there are real relationships and communities forming. I think the fediverse is strongly positioned to outlive and maybe even outgrow closed social ecosystems. If you’re frustrated with a lack of a certain kind of content on Lemmy make it your responsibility to go create or share some of that content.
Geocities, Myspace, Digg, Reddit all started somewhere. I think any good underlying framework (federated social networks) that enables strong communities will always stand a chance. I really do get early reddit vibes on here.
Been waiting for this
We appreciate it Jerry, thanks!
this is the kind of comment I hope for when I come here
Long time visitor to Bloom County but maybe not old enough to catch what Steve is implying in that last panel. Can anyone enlighten me?
