They change their presenting gender, but not their sex so I don’t think it’s accurate to call yourself homosexual.

I don’t think there is any reason to label it personally

If I know gamers, it will be just as effective as the Modern Warfare 2 PC boycott back in the day

Start with the assumption the video is fake. Do you trust the source? If the video is of something outrageous, did you notice something feels uncanny? Does the lighting, shot angle, and proportions make sense?

If the answer is not yes, no, yes then it’s probably AI

Banks also pay the depositors interest so you should want the bank to make money. Unless you suggest that we should be storing our money in coffee cans and burying them in the yard. In which case, your money is even less valuable due to inflation and their is less money for the bank to lend to you community.

That being said banks should be regional and community focused and should never be allowed to grow to the size where if they make bad investments it takes our entire financial system down with it.

Banks like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Lehman Brothers etc are scams

I almost never see politics in my feed. But Lemmy itself was created by leftist communists, it was never built to be a politics free space

It takes manual curation if you want to avoid it

Pokemon is the most overrated series? Everyone game is the same except for 100 new monsters and 1 new battle gimmick and yet it makes more money than Mickey fuggin Mouse

I think Skyrim is the perfect answer to this question. It’s a good game. Everyone has played a billion files because while it’s good it’s entirely unfocused and mediocre so people don’t feel motivated to take their character to the end of the game

Pepe king prawn.

With a rumored $1000 price tag, I don’t think it matters how well games run. I think they’ve already priced themselves out of their potential market

Nice tape collection

Online gaming wise Call of Duty: United Offensive (2004)

As for single player gaming, donkey Kong Land 1 for gameboy is the oldest game I’m actively playing. I have various NES launch games in my collection, those would be the oldest games in my collection that I have played.

I use privacy bee. It’s way more expensive than the others but it’s US owned, based, and doesn’t advertise on YouTube or have ties to the same data brokers it claims to protect you from

Your comment seems to misunderstand federation and the function of activitypub. Lemmy does have an All front page that is the front page of All Lemmy servers that your instance knows about and hasn’t defederated with.

You don’t need an account for each instance, you just post on your local instances copy of the community/post and your post shows up on all other Lemmy servers that you instance knows about.

You may have inadvertently made your own point, that it isn’t intuitive for newcomers but a single front page/account totally defeats the purpose of decentralized social media.

You have described BlueSky which is distributed but not decentralized and will enshittify the same as Reddit and twitter and the only benefit to ATProto is some other public benefit corp could potentially host a copy of the network in its place until that business decides to enshittify of course

I don’t think it’s probably being bottled. I think there are just a combination of people who would rather be unhappy where they are than face a bit of resistance getting themselves out of their rut and people who are fanatically devoted to legacy social media due to sunk cost and have a hard time abandoning their decade old accounts. So whenever the topic comes up they are happy to trash Lemmy rather than improve their situation. They are on Reddit alternatives sub for a reason but they won’t get off their ass because nothing is perfect enough for them

They probably use a third party company to mail statements and such. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have already tried to contact the account owner but are unable to. They still need an address on file for account verification so they can’t exactly remove your address without an updated address from the customer. I don’t know why they asked you though. You wouldn’t have permission to update information on someone else’s account.

Ironic considering Lemmy.world is Dutch I believe

He’s fine. His videos come off as a bit whiny. The stance of pirating content as being justified instead of just abstaining from an unsatisfactory service seems entitled to me but I get it. I think he’s mostly right in his analysis of things, I don’t make it through every video that he posts though

Would rioting actually make anything better? Seems like people have more to lose by rioting than they do by posting a mean tweet

Jrose11 for mostly gen 1 and 2 solo runs of pokemon games (although he covers most of the series as well)

I’m a big fan of his series covering the entire NES and GB libraries on YouTube as well as retronauts!
