I'm just going to add that the web ui on mobile is great. Good enough that I've stopped using mlem. Mlem doesn't show you the different instances that users and communities are coming from which doesn't really matter for users but is super annoying for communities, and the main dev said that's intentional. It also shows you your "karma", through what I'm assuming is just adding up the raw up/downvotes your posts/comments have accrued. Seeing that is what ultimately made me bounce, it seems like the complete antithesis of what Lemmy is trying to be about.
Also, while they're working on adding a NSFW blur, it doesn't exist yet and fuck seeing all that loli ai porn on my feed. I don't mind having to scroll past stuff I'm not interested in, but come on at least blur it.
Finally the web ui has the rainbow indent lines, while there's nothing but whitespace to indicate child comments on mlem. I'm sure they'll fix most of the stuff up given time, but I'm not using it until they dump the cumulative karma tracking.
I'm pretty sure just the text data is copied to this instance. As far as I know images remain linked to the original images uploaded to the home instance of the user that posted them.
I guess like up/downvotes etc as well, but I count that as text data.
Despite their issues I put hundreds of hours into each one and enjoyed them all. I see no reason to think this won’t be the same, and have no problem betting $70 on it.
Really the issue here is that there are very few reasons to hand a company your money before they are prepared to deliver you a product. There are even fewer reasons when the product is most likely going to be purchased and delivered digitally, since there is zero chance the product will be sold out. When a game is being developed by Microsoft-owned Bethesda, they don't need preorder money to finish the game.
I was pretty heavily involved in the competitive scene for this game, playing in the 50v50 tournaments and a few of the 18v18 seasonals. I bailed about 8 months ago or so, right before Black Matter pulled out completely. Every time I see news about HLL it just winds up reaffirming that decision. It sucks, because I had a lot of fun with the game while I was playing, but the vision that drew me in is completely gone as far as I can tell.
Even though it's a completely different game, playing The Finals beta earlier this year gave me the same feeling of cohesive vision from the developers.
Edit - This is the first time since I've quit using Reddit that I've really wanted to go back to check on things, because I'd love to see the subreddit melting down.
Edit 2 - Those feels when the opening cinematic for a 21 year old game and the opening mission cinematic for an 18 year old game both look better and get me more hyped than your trailer for a major update release in 2023. Also they shamelessly ripped off the BiA Road to Hill 30 cinematic from the second link. T17 doesn't have an original bone in their bodies.
I'm not 100% sure on the answer to that.
Twitter relies on Google Cloud to host services...
So I'm assuming that means that Twitter is either using GCP to host cloud-based internally developed services, or SaaS deployments in the cloud, but that's just a complete guess on my part.> n Musk’s takeover. Since “at least” March, Twitter has been pushing to renegotiate the contract
Edit - This section was in the next paragraph lol.
Now, Platformer has reported that a Twitter service called Smyte—an automated anti-abuse and anti-harassment tool that was previously operating on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)—will potentially shut down on June 30. This could lead to a flood of spam bots and CSAM on Twitter as bots and content could fail to be removed.
So it sounds like it's an internally built Twitter service that they host in GCP.
What's the requirement to join, proof of ownership of a Monero wallet with historic transactions or something?
Ah, I had posted this over in !cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works, but I totally forgot to cross-post it over here! It's going to take me a while to remember the communities on lemmy that are relevant and active.
But yeah, it's a pre-auth vulnerability, so definitely patch up asap!
I would assume that is against the laws of the country in which this server is hosted, so I would also assume the answer to that question is a firm no. Keep in mind that the server hosts in the fediverse typically aren't companies with teams of lawyers on retainer, but individual hobbyists and enthusiasts. It would be a bit of a dick move to expose community volunteers to that kind of liability imo.
I am not a mod of this community or an administrator though, so I would look for a final answer from @revagina@sh.itjust.works or preferably @TheDude@sh.itjust.works, @donut@sh.itjust.works, or @smorks@sh.itjust.works.
