Yeah, it sucks. I wouldn’t attribute it to a platform but just to how we are. It’s tribalism for one part, and people attributing malice to just plain ignorance. I don’t mean ignorance as a negative, but just unaware of the politics / social dynamics of the instance you decided to create an account on

In a way I don’t believe Nintendo was naive enough to rely on ‘pinky promise’. Nintendo makes you sign NDAs for getting information about unreleased games, going to events, and playing review copies. Usually not personally, but there’s a contract between Nintendo and the news / writing org.

So I’m pretty sure they did this with the foresight that people would start talking about it. How they can see that as a net positive I find hard to argue, but they get datamined on the regular and games are leaked a week before street date so they had to know.

Well, no Rock & Stone! for you then :P

I find it interesting but there might be no rhyme or reason to it - vibes often just work like that. Does the camera POV have an impact as well? Like first person vs third person vs isometric?

Unpopular, maybe. Controversial, I hope not. Your opinion and experiences are valid.

Can you pinpoint why it’s a turn off? I understand you’re saying you want to be outside, but is it from a feeling of being limited when you’re inside?

Flipping it: do you prefer playing games that are in the sky like Bioshock Infinite over Bioshock 1/2 that are underground (on the sea floor)?

The only time I’ll be cheering for Apple. Good work detective. I guess they should have been glad they didn’t get shot.

learning history through the power of memes? You spoil us

It should just post a reply and offer a link for people to also subscribe to the same reminder. But I’m not complaining, just talking in ideal scenarios

It’s not, the community !lowqualityfacts@lemmy.zip just has it backwards. They are low quality lies, but the phrasing of the community makes it seem like it’s true statement in a low-quality wrapper.

I don’t see anything… Does it work?

(we need this bot! I have no programming knowledge or skills but I’m going to make this happen one way or another)

Playing music, viewing weather forecast at a glance, fitness tracking, that kind of stuff

Some apps still need to be able to do that to perform their function, but generally speaking yeah, you could

US has a history of not caring what the ICC thinks though. Remember the Hague Invasion Act?

I get this happen to me too, but honestly it feels like a feature that helps more people than it annoys the rest. Even though I’m among those annoyed

Well before the current Android version, you had to manually go into the settings of the app or your phone to disable them. Now you get this on first boot of the app:

This makes it a lot easier to reject them immediately

What a world we live in, where cheaper games are seen as less quality because the theory of capitalism has conditioned us to believe higher quality = higher price.

This is why on newer Android versions you can just flat out reject being allowed to send notifications.

I will talk to you when I need it, not the other way around.

I’m gonna get flak for this but no, Discord does not sell any user data, no matter how many times people keep repeating it. Quoting a legendary redditor here:

Discord’s privacy policy repeatedly states that they do not sell your personal information:

We don’t sell your personal information. Our business is based on subscriptions and paid products, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

We make money from paid subscriptions and the sale of digital (and sometimes physical) goods, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

We do not sell the personal data of our users or share personal data for targeted advertising purposes.

‍No sale or “share” of personal information: The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that sell or “share” personal information. We do not sell or share the personal information of our users as defined in the CCPA.

This is a legal document that they will get in trouble for if they were lying. They’ve already been fined hundreds of thousands of euros for GDPR violations but that curiously did not include a fine for “took people’s personal information and then sold them without consent whilst explicitly saying they didn’t do that”

Discord further has no third party advertisements which they can use to “sell” your data by allowing those advertisements to target you.
