  • Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

    Jump

  • No, the article is about Mastodon.social’s nonprofit

    Are you talking about Mastodon gGmbH? https://joinmastodon.org/de/about

    Mastodon gGmbH is a non-profit from Germany that develops the Mastodon software. Mastodon started in 2016 as an open-source project by Eugen Rochko

    Mastodon gGmbH is a German non-profit developing a decentralized social network

  • The title says Mastodon, not mastodon.social, and it appears that Eugen was talking about the Fediverse or Mastodon, not mastodon.social specifically (hence the word decentralization, the discussion was not centralized on mastodon.social).

    I think people are mixing up the discussion between Mastodon vs mastodon.social too much. Eugen and his non-profit are the developers of Mastodon, so it makes sense for them to be talking it up.

    “One of the reasons Mastodon was founded was to allow different jurisdictions to have social media that is independent of the U.S.,” per the statement shared with TechCrunch. “People are free to choose to have their account on a Mastodon server whose policies meet their needs.”

    That quote from the article does NOT say mastodon.social

    To be clear, it doesn’t matter where your instance is hosted. Mastodon.social is not hosted in Mississippi, either, it’s hosted in Berlin.

    There are other countries... watch and see how many instances just ignore the law, there will be many in the Fediverse.

    I mean Pirate Bay is still running lol, so yeah I think decentralization works

  • It doesn’t matter, though. They all have the same choice to make: comply, shut down in that territory… or be fined an insane amount.

    Those are not the only choices... not everyone can/will be fined (example: Pirate Bay)

    Why are we focusing on mastodon.social? I'm not even a fan of mastodon.social. I'm not really interested in their original discussion either. Honestly I kinda hope mastodon.social does comply or lock users out so that users spread out more to other instances instead. But they aren't even close to the majority of the Fediverse anyways.

    There are plenty of instances hosted in different countries that won't care about this law, or you can self host.

    You do know that Eugen developed the Mastodon software, right? He's not advocating for mastodon.social, he's advocating for Mastodon.

    I'm just talking about the Fediverse. Sure ATProto can theoretically avoid this too but they don't have as many choices for instances, if any at all that are outside the US and federated with Bluesky? And it seems like self hosting is much harder.

    Jump

  • Well even if mastodon.social complies, there are many many other instances to choose from, from all different countries

    and even other similar platforms like Sharkey or Mbin that work with Mastodon

  • Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing

    Jump

  • it must've been a big instance going offline (or switching platforms? or blocking the stats collection?)

    also note a lot of those graphs don't start at 0, the Y axis is zoomed

  • Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing

    Jump

  • yes, probably from fediverse.observer itself going offline

  • Open source game are the best

    Jump

  • OpenRCT2 is really great, if you count that

  • Pretty cool. I won't get too excited until Bluesky (the company) is less than 90% of ATProto. Even mastodon.social is only like 27% of AP.

    I'd be afraid of one company having too much power over the whole network.

  • Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?

    Jump

  • Yeah they post a lot of shit. We have too few commenters/voters spread across too many posts, which is a real great way to kill a community. We need the opposite, we already have enough posts, we need more people commenting/voting.

  • Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?

    Jump

  • A huge thing that real posts have but bot posts do not have: comments notify the OP and thus have a good chance of getting a response. The bot communities almost never get comments, and even if they do it's extra rare for them to get a reply.

    If I didn't care about human-to-human comments then I wouldn't be here or on Reddit, I would just use RSS feeds, or the Google news feed.

  • well we still have Dexter Resurrection, I didn't expect them to keep running 2 different Dexter shows at the same time

  • Kinda excited for this, I actually loved the Friday the 13th game. The way voice chat worked made for some great immersion and role playing. And I love the Halloween series.

  • Introducing Advanced Shader Delivery

    Jump

  • will make its debut on the new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X.

    Advanced shader delivery addresses one of the most frustrating challenges for PC gamers today – long load times and disruptive stuttering during a game’s first launch. These delays are caused by the need to compile graphics shaders and cache them for future use.

    While we’re currently focused on supporting the launch of the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, we’re excited to share that we’re releasing an AgilitySDK in September. This will provide both developers and gaming storefronts with the initial set of tools and APIs needed to expand this functionality across the industry.

    We’re also continuing to collaborate with our hardware partners to grow the number of devices that will be able to support advanced shader delivery. Stay tuned for more details on device expansion in September.

    I guess this is like what Steam Deck has already been doing. I wonder how long it will take them to bring it to desktops, and if it will work on Win10 or only Win11

  • Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?

    Jump

  • People always complain about this but Lemmy does actually combine crossposts in your feed. What frontend are you using? Or maybe it's just bugged? If someone can figure out the bug and how to reproduce it, it needs to be submitted to GitHub.

    Here's a reference to the feature, a fixed bug, disabling the deduplication for a single community view https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2104#issuecomment-2316048658
