Scrubbles

It was always meant to be great in dense areas, which it is, but marketers went all apeshit promising that it was going to be the second coming of Christ. Instead they should have shut the marketers ina corner and called it what it is, an enhancement to 4g. That 4g and 5g would hand off interchangeably.

This is why you should never let business dictate tech. They think they know what they’re talking about but they don’t, and end up pissing everyone off.

We’re only holding ourselves back, at some point the subsidies for oil aren’t going to be enough. We’ll be watching the rest of the world continue on into the future that we thought we were heading towards

All the information we have is in the blurb above

There’s a multitude of reasons. Contracting/consulting has been a long standing thing in tech. This is the perfect application, they have something they want to do, they know it’ll make money, but they don’t have the staff capacity to do it themselves without throwing out their roadmap. So they go to someone else, write up contracts, have milestones and requirements, and the other team gets it done for them. Remaster, DLC, Hell Oblivion did all of Fallout NV for Bethesda. There are no rules on what can or can’t be done. CDPR has done their QA through consultancy firms before, and that’s pretty standard.

No, this is done by a third party, like how the Oblivion remastered was done. Oversight is done by CDPR though so I have hopes that the story will hold up. They also know they have a high bar after Cyberpunk’s release.

Their roadmap is the same, from what they publicly share. All effort is being poured into W4, while Cyberpunk (2, 2078, who knows), is probably in early development, with the majority of the team swiveling to that once W4 releases

As we learned with Cyberpunk, it’s much better for them to take their time.

Please be good please be good dear god please be good

I’ll concede there, sports gaming and sports gaming are very overlapping venn diagrams

What?? I’m genuinely confused, I got an email that said they were ending it, I’ll try to dig it up

What an odd statement. Xbox is in direct competition with porn and crypto? Do they know any of those things? Do they think people are just like “hm, 60 dollars. I could game, buy porn, or crypto. Hmmmmmm”

Anything to avoid looking inward. Their IPs have empty corporate souls because they’re made by souless corporate entities. Halo, Gears, Starfield, all shallow empty stories, and gamers are tired of it.

Of course they don’t have souls so they assume gamers don’t either. Couldn’t be that were gaming to enjoy a story or feel something deeply, no we’re literally debating on gambling or video games. Jesus Christ so out of touch.

Cloudflare actually stopped their service. If you come up with another let us know

For those who don’t know, is largely because of Xbox supporting PC games on their consoles, and then also the Steam Frame. All of a sudden they know their hardware won’t matter. Not excusing it, it’s still incredibly shitty, but this is the main driver.

Existing customers will have the increase next year once the noise dies down

That is quite literally my point. Everything, absolutely everything here is open and can be used however any instance owner wants. You can say “leave that shit alone”, but there is no obligation to whatsoever.

You should assume every instance owner can and is viewing all of your private data, sending it through whatever LLM/mod tools they want. Are they? Probably not. But they can, and there is no obligation not to.

Thank you for calling this out. I think people assume that since it’s held by private instance owners that the fediverse is secure. I’ve posted this comment many times, that no, the fediverse is quite literally by design open and unencrypted.

A post is literally blasted out to anyone who listens, same with comments, upvotes, downvotes, everything can be saved, stored, and used for whatever anyone who listens wants. It should be completely assumed that nefarious agencies are currently listening and storing everything we do here. This is by design. It’s the tradeoff we have of having an open platform. Anyone can spin up a server, and that means anyone.

DMs are similar, they’re blasted out to the other server. If the server admin of the user in question wants to read them, they can. Lemmy/the fediverse is not a secure messaging platform. That’s why the Lemmy devs literally put a Matrix handle option in the profile, to encourage people to use Matrix instead. A DM on here should be simple, to the point, and if need be, inviting them to speak on something secure.

Edit - As a perfect example of the fact that there should be no expectation of privacy here on Lemmy, as an Admin myself, I can see that @A_normy_mouse has been downvoting all of my comments here. Absolutely everything here is public and visible, even if I weren’t an admin there are tools to view this, regardless of your opinions. It’s imperative that everyone understand this.

Edit 2 OP as well has downvoted me. @rimu@piefed.social I’m sorry if you disagree, but it’s irrelevant. Everything you do here can and should be assumed will be used in any way that you disagree with, that is the nature of the fediverse. Mastodon, Pixelfed, Piefed, Lemmy: ActivityPub is an open and unencrypted protocol. Even if it were encrypted, you still put 100% of your trust in your server admin, and beyond that each server admin you are blasting your messages out to.

I’d highly suggest accepting this fact before trying to push for rules. The very nature of the Fediverse is that no one can dictate rules, and to do that the tradeoff quite literally is that everything is open and unecrypted.

Another way to think of this. I run a server myself. I made my own rules and decided how to run it. Now your server starts sending activity to my server. That’s your server’s choice. I didn’t agree to your rules, I may disagree with your rules, but you’re sending your data to my server, of which I have complete and total ownership over. I didn’t click accept on a ToS, I didn’t agree to anything. Hell on my server I could literally have a “By sending me your data you accept that I can do whatever I want with your data”. You sent me your data, I quite literally can do whatever I want. (Personally I won’t, but that’s how you should think of the fediverse)

It’s very clear on signup, on the READMEs, even on the DM portal itself, that messages are unencrypted and there is no sense of privacy, and that admins have full visibility and can do what they want with them.

Agreed, but that admin is breaking his promise, duty, responsibility (call it what you will) if they then upload these messages to an LLM for evaluation.

There is no promise, duty, or responsibility that an admin has beyond legal and what they themselves promise. The fediverse is great in that if you disagree with your admin, you are free to leave and choose a different one.

As for GDPR, feel free to argue it, but when it’s claimed at every turn that messaging is unencrypted and basically open, well, I don’t think it’d hold up. It literally says to go use Matrix or something else.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal, we’ll either know they’re legit or not. Care to weigh in @MargotRobbie@lemmy.world ?
