In no way is the person you’re responding to speaking defensively. They’ve discussed the reason why your extrapolation to a full-mesh connective worst-case scenario isn’t based in the reality of how ActivityPub functions. But you don’t seem to be willing to entertain the notion that the federation of any given action never exceeds the number of instances subscribed to the community that generated it.

Even should every instance subscribe to every community on every other instance, the recipient of a federated action doesn’t turn around and rebroadcast that action back on to the network because it is not the authoritative host of that community. Therefore what this discussion is lacking is proof of where this exponential broadcast storm of federated actions comes from in your assertion.

I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a notable overlap there. Probably not a stretch to imagine that the technically-minded users would be more in tune with the protest.

Honestly this is the silver lining of Elon buying the company; endless entertainment from watching the smoldering wreck. I do feel bad for the folks that were actually getting value out of using Twitter before his acquisition, but it’s fascinating to see Twitter constantly finding new ways to fail to meet everyone’s already-low expectations.

Exactly. Rip the bandaid off and be honest instead of trying to gaslight everyone. Probably would’ve resulted in far fewer people checking out Fediverse alternatives.

I had a strange issue where the Store interface couldn’t be interacted with until I swapped to the Library and back again. I side-stepped the issue by just telling Steam to always open to the Library tab on launch which is honestly preferable behavior anyways.

Whoa, what a cool project! It seems like way more than I need for single-user purposes, but I’ve been relying on Moonlight, Sunshine, and Chiaki quite a lot more than I ever expected to since I ended up taking quite a liking to using the Steam Deck as a pseudo thin-client. Kind of the best of both worlds letting another machine do the heavy lifting somewhere else in the house, so any advancements in the local game streaming space are extremely welcome to see.

MGS3 is such an experience, enjoy it! It’s remarkable how much depth got crammed in to the MGS games, even just in the codec calls alone.

I snagged a couple of VPS from Racknerd in the Black Friday sale. One of them became a home for my Mastodon instance and now the other gets my new Lemmy instance. No issues to speak of with them yet, so I’m perfectly happy with 'em.

Guilty Gear -STRIVE- is one that really stood out to me recently. It’s was my first exposure to the series, but I really enjoy how they use each character’s theme as a chance to flesh them out and tell their story.

Katana ZERO ended up being a standout soundtrack to me as well. I think the impact is greater if your first exposure to them is in the context of playing the game, but the tracks do stand really well on their own merits too.

I’d also mention Paradise Killer for a really entrancing exploration of City Pop, Jazz Fusion, some Funk, and other such genres. IMO the OST is the secret sauce for the game’s setting and mood in a really fundamental way.

Back on more mainstream games, Yasunori Nishiki’s work on the soundtracks for both Octopath Traveler 1 & 2 is outstanding. For anyone on board with the style of music typical of JRPG soundtracks, they are very worth your time.

Slide for Reddit was my app of choice. Now I’m just waiting for my CCPA data export request to come back to me. Once that’s done, all the old accounts are going in the shredder.

Thanks for the helpful tool! Posting this from my new single-user Lemmy instance. I ended up tweaking the compose template a bit to remove Caddy since I already have it running on this VPS for other services. Wasn’t too bad to just take the Caddyfile information and add it to my own existing framework.
