!mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe, !pixelart@retrolemmy.com and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net (and the other solarpunk related comms) are quite chill :)

Still waiting for gloomwood (spiritual successor to Thief) to come out of early access. Probably will be a few years yet, tho.

GIMP is honestly a lot better than it used to be, especially with the g’mic plugin, which is insanely powerful.

For Photoshop users, there’s also photogimp, which makes gimp have a Photoshop layout and keyboard shortcuts.

Though personally I use krita most of the time, which has g’mic built in nowadays.

You are describing a Free 2 play game monetized with micro transactions.

At least in Europe, the Stop Killing Games group would argue that those micro transactions would be considered buying a perpetual license to that good (the skin/character), and thus it would be a breach of contract for the publisher to arbitrarily remove your ability to access that content. They would need an end of life plan so the buyer could reasonably still access the goods they purchased after the publisher drops support.

Only a truly free game where no money changes hands would be exempt from the legislation, or perhaps a game that was subscription based up-front, as then it makes clear you are only purchasing access to the content for a finite amount of time.

Thanks for mentioning harper, hadn’t heard of it until now.

And really horrific events like the holocaust must’ve had countless people praying to be spared, but since most of them died anyway, that must mean the Holocaust was God’s will, since that’s what religious people always say when prayers go unanswered.

Your family member survived cancer? “God saved them!” Your family member died of cancer despite praying? “Must’ve been God’s will, He works in mysterious ways!”

Very scientific and objective of you. Lenin would be proud.

I’m not going to glaze the same ideology that murders their anarchists comrades whenever it’s convenient for them to establish a power hierarchy. Telling me I’m disrespecting the very people who would’ve put me up against a wall the second I didn’t obey them is like telling a victim they’re disrespecting their abuser.

Lol, I love that you’re telling me I have no authority, then telling me the approved facts I should believe.

I’m not saying some subset of anarchists are authoritarian (you are right, none of them are authoritarian), I’m saying that Anarchism can get lumped in with Marxist-Leninism under the concept of ‘Far-left’ with horseshoe theory.

Horseshoe theory makes it seem like being on the far-left is authoritarian. I would put forward that any authoritarian ideology is in fact right-wing, and the true Far-left are Anarchists/Left-Libertarians, which the stethoscope theory makes more clear by separating out the tankies.

Horseshoe theory doesn’t account for Anarchists who are far left, but not authoritarian.

Then Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, Bookwyrm, Pixelfed, Loops, Peertube, all made from disparate developers from around the world, are all one US Federal plot?

Why would they prefer a decentralized, difficult to control social media network over the centralized ones that are already entirely under the control of right-wing billionaires?

I understood the reference, but if we’re going by that logic, the Fediverse itself is a federal ploy.

I mean… Same for Fediverse, and Federation?

Even after adding a dash of powder detergent to the pre-rinse (by just tossing some in)?

You can also eliminate mineral build-up from hard water by adding a cup of white vinegar to a cup or dish in the top rack (left facing up).

Mint and Mint LMDE are using Pipewire by default, how are you using pulseaudio?

I think you are confusing terms. Scraping a website means to download copies of its pages. Mirroring means taking those scraped page copies and re-hosting them on your website. Since you said you were doing both of those things, that would mean you would be mass scraping the site to rehost (mirror) on yours.

If you are not doing either of those, then you are not mass scraping or mirroring. It sounds like instead you just scraped a few pages of piefed, and then modified the CSS/HTML of the page itself for your own purposes?

If so, that’s not as bad as I thought.

However, I can guarantee you that no one here is interested in joining an isolated reddit clone that isn’t federated with Piefed or lemmy, and which is explicitly designed to eventually allow you to throw ads on it for passive income. That is precisely what we all were trying to escape when we left reddit for the fediverse.

But you’re scraping piefed.social to fill your site with content so you can monetize it, while increasing hosting costs for piefed for your own gain.

That you don’t see the ethical and moral problems with that plan is highly concerning.
