The new update of 7 days to die

yea it’s not perfect, but if played with friends and some settings are tweaked, it’s pretty fun

Dying Light is pretty cheap at $5 USD/EUR

I am the milkman

Ah, I see, your one of His. Once more, just lying

If you can’t possibly imagine that people have their own opinions, you have serious problems. I can’t stand people like you that categorizes people into small boxes, effectively strawmanning them, as a mean to discredit your opponents. Classical manipulation technique. No, you don’t know me better than myself, thanks.

The project does clearly explain the goals and intentions if you have the ability to Read

That is just false. The blue image shared on Ross’ videos should be on the website to better explain what they want.

or at least listen to Ross’s multiple videos explaining them

In that case yes, but then my point was that it wasn’t clear, and having to search the channel of the creator of the initiative is something no one would do if they wrongly interpreted this from the start, as it was for my case. It was only after more coverage that I thought more about it.

isn’t that beautiful?

avoiding microplastics is now homophobic??!

The project doesn’t clearly explain what its intentions are. The first time I saw the stop killing games initiative, I thought the exact same as him. Obviously it goes much further and it doesn’t propose any law so europe and each country would be free to set their own limits, but from an external eye it flawed when these questions are not directly and transparently answered on the website

Toxic behavior. Silence people for their opinions

Made a post to raise awareness

Avoid the lemmy.ml community because it’s moderated by that fucker

It doesn’t look good indeed…

Sadly, that’s what we have to work with. The app is pretty good though

TIL the founder is a transphobic and conservative piece of shit

SimpleX as well!

Why would it display the priced paid by the company like this, when it doesn’t for other countries like France though? Seems weird

Unless USA companies don’t pay taxes when paying a salary? But I don’t really believe that

It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted).

Do you really expect more than even 5% of all youtube channels to do it? You have high hopes.

compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers

I believe it’s done in a kinda P2P way? Didn’t really check, but wouldn’t that just not work with NAT internet connections, which many people have because that’s just more secure this way? Also, bad for privacy.

Using a TURN server would also add huge costs so it’s basically like hosting your own server

Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP

I don’t so I wouldn’t, but if I was, I would be wondering, as I always do. Anyways, I believe XMPP doesn’t store stuff and only transmits, and Matrix doesn’t store things forever (and doesn’t store videos like YT), and the main instance is funded by donations, and smaller instances are just pretty small and have media wiped when needed

it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary

That’s the POV of people in !technology@lemmy.world or selfhosted. Most people can’t be bothered with this shit and are pretty tech illiterate. Some don’t want to waste even a minute. And that’s the case of the very vast majority of people on the internet.

I meant good health, no (mental) illness, no medical treatment, already have somewhere to live…

Then at this point I start to wonder: why can’t they take people in countries where the cost of living is cheaper? When you’re funded by donations, this seems more logical

I feel like companies based in the USA and accepting donations make it so that donations from countries outside USA are a lot less meaningfull because we get less money, and they need to spend more.

So 170k$ isn’t that much

If that’s the amount the company pays, then yea. If this is the amount the employee receives, then that’s a lot. Like really.

what the employee pays

seems like there’s a problem here?

Indeed, but it’s understandably a super high amount compared to what we get. If you’re in good shape, you get way more money. If not, you probably get (a lot) less.

Pretty much the same in France. Companies pay 150% to 200% of the amount that the employee receives, when the employee has a relatively high pay, and the employee then pays a significant amount of its pay in diverse things, then the income tax hits. France is pretty much one of the countries that taxes the most in the world so…

Who pays for the servers? Because if even big platforms like Signal sometimes struggle to pay the bills, in part because they spend a lot on their servers, then it’ll be dozens of times worse with video hosting
