These are actually pretty good for NA (https://athleticbrewing.com/)

Rocket League. Games are quick, you can play one or many in a session. I don’t know if epic has ruined it yet, but last I played the good old core game was still there.

Right, you do have to understand that either way, if you put something on the public internet, it is gone.

I don’t want a company to sell my data, making money off of me, then having the audacity to ask me for MORE money on top (nitro). It feels gross.

I don’t mind sharing bits of myself online otherwise.

The owners of federated instances can also just start selling your data too at any point. And as you said, advertisers will also just scrape public data trivially. Basically, the internet and world is a terrible place.

But Discord has cultivated a queer membership by serving a different need than those platforms: privacy.

Yeah, gonna stop reading right there. Discord is absolutely selling your data. Nothing against inclusivity features though.

Discord became ubiquitous because it works well, and is free. Take VC money, run at loss, get tons of users, enshittify, die because something better becomes good enough. It’s just another one of those speed runs, which will happen over and over again until the end of humanity.

It was a wild ride, and so fun to look at, well deserved!

Also, how do I verify that this fork isn't malware wrapped in emulator code?

The code is open source, you read it all, ensure that you download exactly the code you read, and you compile it yourself. That’s the only way, in general, to accomplish this.

chance + stakes = gambling
chance + nothing = chance

Yeah lol learning poker hands is all it does, which is trivial. The hard part of gambling is learning odds and how to bet. There is a little bit of odds calculation in the game, but it’s incredibly unrealistic with all the modifiers, and they change on each run.

More like the internet, computers without internet are pretty chill.

It’s more like asking a carpenter to build a hammer as their practical carpentry interview. It’s probably good they know about hammers, but what you actually want to know is if they can build cabinets.

Meh, sounds just like the general internet stranger rhetoric here too. If you don’t like Reddit… stop posting about Reddit?
