If I own a community that’s related to a piece of software, service, or other community and someone who actually contributes to that wants it, message me and it’s yours. I stake no claim in communities, I simply want to see them exist and thrive.

ram@bookwormstory.socialto Android@lemdro.id•Exclusive: Google Pixel 8a boasts 120Hz display, Tensor G3, DisplayPort output, better availabilityEnglish21·1 year agoYa, kinda tired of hitting the edges of my samsung, and their accidental edge touch protection’s kinda useless.
ram@bookwormstory.socialOPto Games@lemmy.world•Chris Sayers reveals why he left Blizzard; fake promotions, lies, and gaslightingEnglish10·1 year agoThere’s also the poorly-aging belief that if you work for a big company that grants you job-security. People will gravitate towards worse, more corporate jobs because of that, even if it’s generally not true in the modern era.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’English3·1 year agoYa well $70 is only for septuple-A games. Nontuple even.
ram@bookwormstory.socialOPto Games@lemmy.world•Chris Sayers reveals why he left Blizzard; fake promotions, lies, and gaslightingEnglish43·1 year agoThe most heart wrenching for me is seeing the little tweet he posted when he was excited about his promotion. When he felt something good was happening for him, his talent and skill was being recognized, and his life was about to get better for it, only to have a sad reality crush him. :c
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Bluesky is now open for anyone to join | TechCrunchEnglish13·1 year agoThe usernames are just domains. Nobody can steal your domain.
i have a layman’s understanding of AT Proto, but it seems to compartmentalize between different parts of the service. Front ends, databases, and backends can be hosted separately and amalgamate into one, in the abstract.
Practically, however, AT Proto allows account portability, wherein users can swap what instance they use as a frontend on a whim, even if their home instance is down. Usernames are domains instance of username@domain, that are verified by the DNS. But AT Proto seems a lot less flexible than ActivityPub. We’ll have to see when federation is live, but I’m not sure it really suits anything beyond (micro)blogging.
ram@bookwormstory.socialOPto Games@lemmy.world•Hasbro Seeks to Sell IP “DND” and Has Had Preliminary Contact with TencentEnglish6·1 year agoCan you give some examples of companies that went to shit after Tencent purchased them, and what investor-pleasing behaviour they did that led to this enshittification? I’d genuinely appreciate that.
ram@bookwormstory.socialOPto Games@lemmy.world•Hasbro Seeks to Sell IP “DND” and Has Had Preliminary Contact with TencentEnglish77·1 year agoMaybe Microsoft should buy it.
ram@bookwormstory.socialOPto Games@lemmy.world•Hasbro Seeks to Sell IP “DND” and Has Had Preliminary Contact with TencentEnglish167·1 year agoTencent historically is quite hands-off with their investments. Hoping they continue to be so if they did end up purchasing D&D.
ram@bookwormstory.socialOPto Games@lemmy.world•Tencent CEO feels its game business "achieved nothing" during 2023English7·1 year agoI agree wholly except the language “stolen assets” is kinda false considering they own Riot, and they’re their assets by all rights.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English2·1 year agoDevs clearly refers to the company that develops the game. Try again.
The fact that you’re harping on this point is because you know I don’t agree with personal harassment. You are aware that I don’t agree with people being abusive about specific people who work for the company. You’re making bad faith arguments to try to prove “You were saying this”, which I was not, and if I was, is clearly not what I intended. Move on.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English14·1 year agoI repeat, for the last time, I’ve never advocated for toxicity or harassment to workers. Only to the companies they represent. Please, if you’re going to argue with me, argue based on what I say, not what you decide I mean.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English16·1 year agoSorry, but being toxic about a company is distinct from harassing the individual CM. You’re gonna need to try a different line of reasoning because this is a pretty foolish one.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English211·1 year agoRemember when they launched the game in a shit state and charged full price for it, then failed to communicate? Actions speak louder than words, and those are some pretty toxic actions.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English25·1 year agoSorry but I did specify publishers and companies multiple times. I’ve never once even alluded to personal harassment as I obviously don’t believe in that. I however do think that this game deserves the toxicity it sees and the company deserves to be harassed for not delivering on their promise of a worthwhile product for which many people paid nearly $70 (CAD).
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English410·1 year agoYour company? 100%. Absolutely. I implore people to abuse all companies, even.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English1020·1 year agoIs a publisher who’s failed to live up to the promise of a good game entitled to a good community? The fact they have any at all is a blessing.
ram@bookwormstory.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Cities: Skylines 2 developers have noticed 'a growing tendency of toxicity in our community'English1137·1 year agoToxic devs get a toxic community. Why should I express sympathy for them experiencing consequences?
The youtube channel would first need to be willing to take Nintendo to court.
