I really miss replaceable batteries in my phones. It was so good to just swap an empty battery out for a fully charged one. Glad to see that making a return.

Then why don’t they just alter the algorithm or remove any coin-related influence? The average redditor does not care/know that gilded posts reach the top.

When was the last time such an acquisition led to something positive for gamers?

I am all for timed exclusives if that means Microsoft or Sony help funding the game that wouldn’t have the budget otherwise. However I am against acquisitions, be it from Microsoft or from Sony.

I can only speak for myself here of course, but it doesn’t matter to me if an app is open or closed source. What matters is having a nice experience. I am currently very happy with Liftoff and I didn’t even know it was open source.

If another app comes along with new or better features, I will try it out and maybe even switch, regardless of whether it is closed or open source. And if they have an attractive pay model for interesting features, why not?

We need to see how it all plays out. What about the Lemmy instances themselves? Especially the larger ones need to make money too. Can they survive solely on donations like Wikipedia, or do they have to run ads at some point in the future?

A few years ago I went to the graveyard to visit my late godfather during the day. On the way out I noticed a woman walking on a parallel pathway. She had bright white clothes on. So I walked, looked over to her and for a short moment my vision was blocked from a tree between us. After that moment she was just gone.

That being said, I didn’t believe in ghosts and I still don’t believe in them. There sure is a perfectly fine explanation. However, you can bet that I bolted from that graveyard.

You should have done it before deleting using something like shreddit to automate the process. Nevertheless, good that you have taken the step.

That should be on case in all of Europe (in Germany and Italy for sure). It’s covered but your insurance as long as there is an emergency. So you can’t just use the ambulance as a taxi, then you would be billed the whole amount.
