Exploding Heads exploded. They’re not on lemmy anymore.

If that works for you, great! I’m going to keep pirating games without demos though.

Most people don’t want freedom. They want rules and mods to enforce them so they don’t see things that they find offensive.

If everything is self-hosted, why would community wishes matter? Just block the people that disagree with you and do what you want. If you’re getting abused, block the abusers. If people are disruptive, ignore them. That’s pretty much how the internet used to work back when we were using forums and personal sites instead of modern social media.

If you refund too often they will consider it “abuse” and stop letting you do it.

No. Demos are rare and games are expensive.

I think the only way it could work would be if everyone had their own self-hosted site, otherwise the admin/owner would have power over the users. With everyone using their own individual instance, they can block content they don’t want to see but no one has any power over others.

It would be too complicated for normal people to set up and use, and most wouldn’t want to pay for hosting when they can use Facebook for “free”.

Zidane vibes.

I haven’t had any problems with it.

I would be upset if I paid for an ad. I would probably stop being a fan.

Frogs are similar to cats in this way.

They didn’t actually give them an iPhone so it wasn’t that bad.

“You can only switch family groups once every 12 months.”

I thought they already did.

I am very confused. Did someone else send the text in the spoiler to you?

Yourself, for what you posted.

For information, it was a pic of a funny man draped in an ukrainian flag with david star in the middle doing a nazy salute… so yeah not the most tastefull

I thought that was like borderline censuring.

It seems like the only one who censured you was yourself?

Donations work too.

I meant something like opening a two hour long podcast and only listening to 30-60 minutes before closing the tab or switching to a different video. With the old functionality and current internet speeds, it likely would have buffered the entire video in only a few minutes. It could have wasted multiple GB of bandwidth.

For longer videos, a lot of people will stop watching before the video ends. A lot of bandwidth is wasted by buffering the entire video when the user is only going to watch 50% of it. To save bandwidth, sites like YouTube only buffer a tiny bit at a time.
