takedowns are automated these days, either through full automation or paying low cost labor in places like India to just do google searches. Rockstar isn’t “doing” anything here, aside from paying someone else to issue the takedowns. and the someone else doesn’t know enough or care enough to apply logic that would cause all the other versions to get taken down too.
usually means they’re behaving in a narrow minded, arrogant way
nope not saying that, that’s something you made up. I said pc master race weirdness, where everything not pc is described as being inferior to the goal, which is pc only.
this kind of thing kills communities, and breeds the hivemindness you see on reddit. I don’t’ care about the downvotes because literally they mean nothing on lemmy. I care that this community has drastic shifted to the hivemind circlejerk you find on reddit in the past few weeks/months. And that this is a good example of it playing out.
I know you won’t like this and we’ll get right back on pressing the angry no button immediately, that’s a thing. But I’m hoping the people here can sit back and try to understand that the weirdo reddit stuff, i don’t know, do we have to spread it here? it just sucks to see.
yes they have banned accounts, they haven’t banned accounts for uploading videos? steam has banned accounts too is that bad? what’s the bad thing here.
it’s worth remembering that this is just an xbox thing, the pc master race weirdness isn’t needed
this is rude to you?
literally sony has never done this, no one has done this aside from microsoft, I thought this community was better than this crap but i guess you can’t stop the reddit from infesting everything

edit, just to ask you to be better lemmy community, we’ve totally lost everything that was good about this place and now it’s just become a mirror of modern reddit.
i know this falls on deaf ears, and just causes more people to press the angry down button immediately, but all I ask is that you try to be better and foster a better community.
I know everyone loves Valve, but it feels super weird to be celebrating a monopoly so much and so ferociously. (I know Steam isn’t a technical monopoly. We don’t need to have that discussion)
Gaben is old, and he’s gonna retire. It’ll likely be a lot sooner than anyone here is comfortable with. When Valve gets sold, or even when gaben isn’t in total control anymore, things are going to start changing, and there isn’t going to be a healthy, diverse marketplace to soften that.
There is a very good chance that the PC platform will be a really horrible place because of the lack of consumer choice in which they can purchase and play games.
They take advantage of viewer federation a lot, webrtc is used, so all the simulated browsers are sending the video to each other rather than hitting their server. So their setup is really just a part of the p2p swarm, like a single client in a bitorrent network. Doesn’t use anything fancy above that.
Honestly, it’s only a setup that’s gonna get far if you serve very few videos, and the P2P client rate is high. Their “real world” assumption of 50% of all clients being p2p enabled is way too high, and they couldn’t limit p2p bandwidth so all the clients were sending data to each other at lan speeds.
It’s interesting, but it needs to actually leave the simulation and enter real world load to know how things shake out.
Their stats are obviously biased. It’s people who use their game tracking website not of the general audience.
But yes, everyone knows this is for extra money from double dipping, and also likely a hint of not losing first week sales to piracy.
How is enjoying music “pointless”? I don’t understand your train of thought at all. Benefit from it? I just like music
The reason reddit enhancement suite existed was because the developers couldn’t fix reddit. Lemmy is open source, the frontends are open source. You and anyone else who wants to can fix it.
There is no need for an extension.
Sub currently has an ad for the new Mario game on it. I don’t think it’s moderated
Azure products ask you for your identity and signin a lot. Honestly, I’m asked to log in again at least once every 24 hours. That’s assuming I don’t traverse some sort of service wall where I’m now in a different system after clicking a link.
I do cloud engineering for a living, and I would probably fall for at least some phishing things around Azure, specifically because azure identity management is so obtuse and constantly asking for things.
It’s absolutely on the system that Microsoft designed , and the practices they encourage, and the mitagations that apparently don’t exist.
