I’ve been using this with Firefox for a bit. I very much enjoy it. Took me a while to find something I liked for a new tab page since you can search in the URL bar it always felt redundant having a search engine specific page there.

Some people like to play on original hardware but I guess this still being emulation makes that a little cloudy. I certainly couldn’t justify it. I own a computer and wireless controller, so as you said.

Terrible idea. You don’t combat bad behavior with bad behavior. We just had Global Switch Day and now we’re talking about this which is the complete opposite of encouraging growth. How does this make it the open internet?

Live service games are relatively new and among the most popular every year. You’re right traditional games aren’t going anywhere but neither are these style of games. And to insinuate they haven’t disrupted or changed the industry is silly.

They’re not new games yet they are in the top games every year which might say something.

It’s a chicken or the egg situation. However you make your money you need eyeballs and they’re currently not on PeerTube. Millions of people visit YouTube everyday. That’s a lot of chances for discovery. It’s a very small percentage of people willing to limit their exposure for the things you mentioned and without loads of content it’s hard to grow and truly be an alternative to YouTube.

That is a good thing but at the end of the day that makes someone money how? The platform has to work for everyone even the professional creators.

YouTube really isn’t anything without the content and I’m not sure how open source will solve that.

Test flight is opt in if I remember correctly and allows you to download beta versions of apps. So I would assume you signed up or activated it or whatever for an app.

Twitter was alright until Elon took over so I’m willing to hang out until the billionaire psychopath swoops in.

They understand Twitter sucks now and it feels more peaceful on BlueSky.

While not part of the fediverse if you want Twitter like activity I would suggest BlueSky. However I am also on Mastodon and I find it to have plenty of activity. It’s not the fire hose that Twitter is but to me that makes it much more manageable.

Good point, thats the correct way to look at it.

I’ve never heard of Orkut, the only Google social network I ever used was Google+. When I first heard about Facebook I couldn’t even sign up because my college wasn’t a supported .edu…lol and I guess the Facebook format/design isn’t inherently bad, just the algorithm is horrendous. There are more adds and post from suggested groups than people and groups I follow on my feed. Then the post from Threads a social network I don’t even use forced on me and adds in the notifications. It’s just a garbage experience and way of going about things. Although it’s still hard to see the point of an alternative that the people I know IRL aren’t on when I have Mastodon, BlueSky and Lemmy for like minded people.

I saw someone suggest Yandex as a Google substitute in de-Google thread recently…lol

You realize this has a lot more features than original PS1 hardware, right?

Mastodon is fine. The fediverse doesn’t have to pretend like it has alternatives for every social media network overnight. People expect semi equivalent experiences to apps developed by massive teams and corporations.

Why does software have a political stance?

I and lots of other people are actually using both platforms. That’s why apps like Openvibe exist.

The game exists on multiple platforms. These are just fun programming challenges for people. They’re not intended for widespread appeal. But people will find them, play them and have fun with them.
