I feel like for internal government communications you might not want it to be open source.

Doesnt mean everyone else should want to use it.

I feel like when I dipped my toes into the lore the Tau seemed the closest to good guys that I could find but I don't know it well

I'm all for having both. I personally prefer 'AAA' games over indie games but I think there's just different flavours for different folks.

That said, SC is a mega scam at this point and I can't believe people are still continuing to fund it to this level.

I was just about to post Warframe as well - though on PS5 rather than PC.

Is definitely scratching an itch!

I think it's a pretty bold statement to claim that the Internet today is worse than it was 20 years ago before things were being monetised.

People still do stuff just for the sake of it. To be fun, helpful, whatever. However to expect things to just be done for us out of the kindness of people's hearts I think is bordering on entitled.

Why is matrix better than discord?

FOSS but also no ads. And don't harvest any data to sell either.

I genuinely don't understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.

But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn't really matter if you were to charge for your product

I think any Tory leader would've been forced to do the same as Cameron did in that political climate. I know he made the actual decision to have a referendum which was arguably the worst decision in the recent history of our country, but I think with the impact UKIP was having at the time, it was relatively inevitable.

Similar to how the SNP making such huge gain is what forced a Scottish independence referendum.

Edit: I also dread to think about the 'what if?' would be like if we didn't have Covid to kind of push Bojo out.

I actually find one of the interesting parts of the books being the kind of way that misinformation can spread across the country.

Like a character does one thing and that action gets attributed to a whole bunch of different people by different characters.

But yea, I'm on book 9 now and definitely a bit frustrated with nobody just talking about things.

It's not so much laziness as the reason you've given - everyone else is on WhatsApp. Why would I move to a new messaging app when I literally can't message the people I want to message on it cause they don't have it.

 

Honestly don't know if a person could be more callous and uncaring.

I mean, the easy option is just selecting your level of experience at the beginning and offering experienced players an option to skip the tutorial.

Cambridge Analytica stuff though I think mostly revolved around them identifying more vulnerable users.

I don't consider myself vulnerable to this stuff (I may consider grandparents and certain friends a bit more vulnerable) - should I still be worried about them having my personal data? I obviously would rather they don't have my vulnerable relatives data so they aren't manipulated, but for me personally does it matter?
