fuck notcoin that piece of shit legitimised all these other grifts. now they all are selling boosters with other cryptos with no sign of actual launch. crypto is cancer.

jagex is a very shitty company and shitty companies don’t want money, they want all the money. they will kill this game eventually. I hate jagex, from jagex accounts which is just a blatant attempt to phase out 3rd party tools and lock people to their ecosystem (which also fucked me over because the new account system blocks my entire country) to their customer service which is horrendous.

now they’re raising prices to appear more profitable probably to trick another prospective buyer and get tossed around again.

i am unemployed.

just pick one don’t overwhelm yourself with choices. testing out different software is part of the experience just be prepared for possible migration. currently I’m using hyprland and I’m happy with it but for Xorg/X11 i3 is a fine choice.

most people are focusing on the free labour roblox is extracting from kids but from the article:

Further claims stated, according to Turkish media, that Roblox hosted virtual parties promoting pedophilia and that “robux,” the platform’s virtual currency, was being distributed by bot accounts to encourage children’s involvement in these activities, and excess presence of gambling sites and their predatory tactics.

so it looks like roblox was banned because of bad moderation in regards to gambling and sexual predators, both of which are massive issues of the platform. overall i think this is a good move which hopefully will push roblox to do better.

i mean reddit is bad, but you can get sitewide banned just for using a vpn. i haven’t used reddit in a long time and basically never posted but a few weeks ago my account got banned because i have to use a vpn to access reddit.

this also goes along with the recent policy of blocking all access to people that have not logged in and are using a vpn.

that Jamaican’s silver was brutal ngl got a little bit sad watching his confused reaction.

i wish people would stop complaining about leftists and linux discussion in general. i guess it makes me a hypocrite complaining about complainers but still it’s annoying.

also imo lemmy is basically reddit now (with the way .world is), with all its pros and cons. you cannot replicate something’s mechanisms to the tee and expect federation to somehow transform it into this otherwordly experience.

one positive thing i can say about lemmy compared to others though is that the small amount of content forces me to spend less time, and there are less reactionaries here than other places.

victims don’t “encourage” their abusers. these are predatory practices designed to hook in as many people vulnerable to gambling addiction as possible. you have a misconception about the people that get hooked into these things. most of them are not “idiot gamers” nor oil barons, they are either children or neurodivergent people.

predatory microtransactions in video games that are essentially gambling.

personally im fine with machine learning, what I don’t like is “AI”, a new marketing buzzword that justifies every shitty corporate exec decision and insane company evaluations.

heavy. heavy is good. i like heavy. sandvich.

i haven’t played it that much since my ping was atrocious, but i would say no. IIRC beside membership and cosmetics that you can buy with gold, i think you can covert it into silver which you can use to progress faster and even buy gear but you won’t gain an unfair advantage or get something that’s exclusive to the MTX shop.

you should read what experienced players have written if you want a more detailed explanation, im just sort of vaguely familiar with the game.

Albion online seems like a good fit for you, although based on your location your ping will massively vary since they only have a few centralised servers.
