Yes that is exactly what I noticed. I assumed that this had something to do with the recent Lemmy exploit and forcing users to refresh their tokens more frequently.
I switched to jerboa app (since I'm mainly on a mobile device anyways) and there the problem doesn't exist.
Yes I read it and I simply do not agree with most of what is said there. XMPP is not dead and saying google killed it on purpose is to much of a simplification.
Worst thing that could happen if we federat with meta and decide on some point that this is a bad instance and block it, is that we go back to where we are now.
But since some governments and news companies already started to run their own mastodon instances it would be easiest for them to just keep up their own instance and federate with threads instead of creating another account on threads.
This plus all de Content created by people from the "free fedivers" would meta bring into a situation where they would want to be federated and therefore would (to an extent) do stuff to satisfy other instances. Our position against meta would be much stronger than how it is now.
So definitely not growing at all cost but excluding all form of commercial use of the fedivers by default would lead to fedivers remaining just a footnote in society without changing anything.
So I want not only meta but all of the big player to use ActivityPup and fighting for our (the users) favor without all their lockin tricks.
That is some decent camera system you implemented. Looking great so far. Can you give some details about how you set this up?
I remember trying myself on a Zelda Like 3D character controler a long time ago (back when I was still using unity) A very clever thing I learned back then was to project the camera to a sphere collision shape using raycast. On this way it's very easy to implement a smooth rotation and you can easily prevent the camera from clipping through walls and stuff.
Is this what you're doing her as well?
PS: I like that the test pattern texture of your level has so much detail. Not just the same plane checker square over and over again. :)
I just want to make this clear I'm also anti-meta and that's why I want them to feel a need to open up for users to make it easier to switch platforms.
I would trust them as much as any other new instance of any other platform that joins the Fendiverse. That's my point.
Yes by making it like a one-click Join from their other very popular platform "Instagram" and advertising it there.
That's (most probably) why threads is currently not available in the EU. Gatekeeper practices like this would be illegal with the Digital Markets Act. But honestly it would be very easy to get around this. Just make it possible to join without an Instagram account. So I guess there are more concerns from Meta to not fullfil EU Standards than just this.
Sooo I guess EU finally did a good job here.
Actually I still think meta doing activity pub would be overall a good thing and a win for all of us. Users should decide what will be the best platform for them to use, free from any content locking reasons.
Meta being able to create completely new social network overnight and still getting more users then entire Fendiverse without the need to open up anything... That feels more like a loose for me.
But this is a very unpopular opinion here.
Yes and no.
For most countries download such things isn't illegal but uploading/distributing them is. You are allowed to make a backup copy of your game but you are not allowed to share this with anyone else without permission of the copyright owner.
There are always all kind of directions and forces in all of politics not only in EU.
That's why we need to always watch the voted representants all the time. Sadly many people only see democracy as something you started to deal with two weeks before a main election...
I do not understand how this should be interconnected. Why would the chat control law make Linux illegal? And isn't this a completely different topic? OPs post was about "Cyber Resilience Act" and like zero_iq already explained Open Source software is explicitly excluded from this.
But beside this I thing the chat control law is a very bad idea that really need more focus in mainstream media.
What could that type of game look? I was instantly thinking about using the API to get live involvement from a Lemmy Thread into the game like Jabrils once did with the Twitch Interaction API https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux6pbOCFueg
But I have no Idea if this would work or where to start here 😅
Meanwhile my cat after reading this theory...
This is one of those photos that might not look so dangerous but now that I think about it you must have been outside on a moving train to take this picture...
