  • Bro, I don’t entirely disagree with this sentiment but I would argue that open source isn’t always great despite how anyone feels about it. Unless you are categorizing open source with indie games. In my experience open source games are typically not great in the slightest at all. However, I agree with this sentiment if open source is being referenced to indie games. A game doesn’t really have to be FOSS to be great.

    The issue isn’t really games like Assassin’s Creed either the issue is big companies. Assassin’s Creed isn’t my game but I hear the newer ones are good. Assassin’s Creed wouldn’t need to be open source to be good.



  • “it doesn’t say giant tech platforms have the right to make money off of it.”

    I am not defending what meta is doing but there is literally more evidence to suggest big tech can do what they want because there are no laws that say they can’t make money off of it. You can be upset all you want but blame the system for not putting restrictions in place for platforms getting away with doing these things. Bitching about Google and Facebook being evil doesn’t do anything. Unless something legally and lawfully changes nothing is going to change.





  • “(on Reddit (/comments/). yuck!)”

    Guys, we fucking get it. You hate mainstream apps like reddit but the solutions aren’t on Lemmy until someone finds them elsewhere like reddit.

    Do we really need to emphasize our hate for something every damn time we make a post. Thanks for the solution but why couldn’t you have just posted the solution.

    God I hate Lemmy, they want a bigger user base to stay away from content controlled by big corps and to move to federated content but will shove their ideals on the community every time and that is what keeps pushing people wanting to stay here away. We don’t need to hear about FOSS and Linux every time. And we get it. We hate reddit that is why the user base moved here.

    EDIT: God I love Lemmy.


  • I either pay to use the app or I get ads that pay for the platform to continue being used but I don’t want to see the ads so my ad blocker blocks the ads.

    A company is going to continue making revenue. I don’t know why anyone is shocked by a company that makes ads changing a site to ask you to view more ads. Genuinely baffled that users waste their time complaining about something a big trillion dollar company owns and actively runs changing their platform to continue making them trillions of dollars then getting on here and going, “take that Google I am fed up.”

    Meanwhile, I have just been paying for YouTube premium with no ads supporting the content creators I love and moving on with my life.
