In theory I guess. But you’d need a ton of funding just to get the server power for that, and there’s no guarantee that users will switch over to your service. And if Bluesky starts turning bad then they could start blocking your instance. Also the users are much more valuable than the data. There’s lots of ways this could fail to pan out. The Fediverse is much more flexible to new instances joining.

maybe it would be simple to fork this source code and form your own community

The network effect makes this extremely difficult, even with the source code, it’s basically starting from scratch again.

I’ve probably played this game for over a hundred hours. Great soundtrack too, by Alexander Brandon. I also loved the minigame hidden behind the DESTRUCT cheat code.

And it’s open source too!

I can’t believe someone else just mentioned Hover! I haven’t played it in decades lol but I did spend a lot of time on it as a kid

Sonic Robo Blast 2 is one of the best Sonic games ever!

Soldat was awesome, I loved the Rambo mode lol. That game had such good movement.

Give us another big StarCraft 2 tournament at Blizzcon!

I’m definitely happy I didn’t open Lemmy until I got home from work today

This is one reason why I never use expanded card views and only used the condensed list views where I have to click a thumbnail to expand lol

If you think it would be more impressive that it overtook more recent games on Steam… Well look at the list, it overtook all of those too except CS2 and PUBG (if you even consider that a recent game at this point)

The picture in the article is the top 7, irrespective of release date

VideoCardz claims that the RX 9070 reviews will go live on March 5th, coinciding with the official launch of the RTX 5070.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES

I was really trying to figure out what “WINE DL LOVER RIDES” meant…

I used to have this clipart program lol

Could someone remind me what it’s called?

When you make an installer USB stick, it also doubles as a live preview (for most? all? distros).

So you just boot into it and you can play with it before running the installation.

apparently Backblaze Desktop doesn’t support Linux.

I haven’t tried it, but apparently if you do a mapped network drive in Windows then BackBlaze will let you back it up as normal.

OP please edit your post to put the link in correctly https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/04/google-removes-pledge-to-not-use-ai-for-weapons-from-website/

I just don’t think bash is good for maintaining the code, debugging, growing the code over time, adding automated tests, or exception handling
