🚨 NEW RULES: Don’t Be a Gamer. Talk About Games.


Two new rules have been added to this community, and they deserve some explanation.

Inspired by this comment, I started thinking about why so many gaming spaces feel shallow or exhausting.

The problem is that they are rarely about video games themselves. Instead, they become about “being a gamer”—a label, an identity, and a consumer tribe. That identity is built on cycles of hype, outrage, loyalty to platforms, and endless talk of hardware or marketing. It flattens games into consumable products, and the people into market demographics.

That’s not the kind of community I want to build. I’m here because I see games as art, and I want to share that perspective with others who think the same way. If someone views games mainly as a lifestyle accessory, or if their whole identity is wrapped up in consumption, then this space will feel alien to them—and that’s intentional.

Which is why the first new rule is simple: “This is not a gamer identity space.” It sets the boundary clearly. We don’t need the baggage of gamer identity here. This community isn’t a loyalty badge, it’s a place for deeper thought.

The second new rule grows directly out of the first: “Talk about games as art.” If games are art—and they are—then the most interesting conversations we can have are about design, aesthetics, mechanics, and meaning.

What is this game trying to say? What choices did the creators make, and why? How does its structure, its tone, or its style affect the way we experience it? These are the kinds of questions that lift discussion beyond consumption and into critique, interpretation, and appreciation.

I added this rule because I’ve seen firsthand what happens when you try to talk about games in this way elsewhere. In another gaming community (which doesn’t need to be named), I made the mistake of approaching the medium with positivity and seriousness—treating it as art worth celebrating.

The reaction was hostility. People saw appreciation as “shilling,” and thoughtful discussion as a threat to their outrage-driven culture. That told me all I needed to know: rather than fight to carve out space in communities built on negativity, it’s better to establish one that starts with positivity and respect for the medium itself.

So that’s the point of these two new rules. They’re not just lines in a list—they’re the foundation for what kind of community this will be. A place where games are treated as works of art, not consumer trophies. A place where we discuss choices, meaning, and design, not just hardware wars or outrage cycles.

This is a place where positivity is not only welcome but expected.

Fetterman denies Gaza genocide, claims it’s a “just war”


Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania continued the Democrats’ piling on against Palestinians this past Sunday.

Fetterman asserted to CNN’s Manu Raju: “There’s no ethnic cleansing. It’s not a genocide. This is a just war.”

Asked by Raju if Israel was using “starvation as a weapon,” he claimed: “No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Israel is not deliberately starving people, absolutely.”

He added: “Those conditions are miserable there. And it is hell on earth. Why? Some people blame Israel for that? I blame Hamas and Iran for that thing.”

This continues most Democrats’ failure to recognize the Gaza genocide, even walking back the genocide assertion in the recent case of Congresswoman Katherine Clark, a top leader in the House of Representatives.





Trump’s Petty-Tyrant Brand of Fascism | The Nation


"But still, there is something so cheap and tawdry, something so manifestly hollow and farcical about this regime, that to give it the name of a grand historical tragedy like “fascism”—or even the terrible title “dictatorship,” implying as it does the concentrated, legalized use of terror and force—grants it a dignity it does not deserve. The regime may be authoritarian in its aims, but it can’t fairly be said to be totalitarian, except in the dreamworlds of its most servile supporters: Political life and pluralism amble on and are unlikely to be swept away entirely. Trump may wish to shape reality to his whims, but he cannot; gravity still holds, and the poll numbers are going down. I understand the hesitation to award the Trump administration the badge of fascist dishonor, especially when it so badly wants to be taken as something formidable and frightening. It all seems like a spectacle. Why, indeed, take it so seriously when its attempt to cow Los Angeles into submission with military occupation fizzled? Or dress up what is a massive agglomeration of rackets and scams led by a racketeer in chief, more Al Capone than Il Duce, into a world-historical drama? Why contribute to the climate of numbing conspiratorial speculation that proved so instrumental to Trump’s rise by granting him an additional air of hocus-pocus?"

Parents outraged as Meta uses photos of schoolgirls in ads targeting man


For anyone curious how Meta could possibly get worse -- excellent news.

Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting”.

The man noticed that posts encouraging him to “get Threads”, Mark Zuckerberg’s rival to Elon Musk’s X, were being dropped into his Instagram feed featuring embedded posts of uniformed girls as young as 13 with their faces visible and, in most cases, their names.

The children’s images were used by Meta after their parents had posted them on Instagram to mark their return to school. The parents were unaware that Meta’s settings permitted it to do this. One mother said her account was set to private, but the posts were automatically cross-posting to Threads where they were visible. Another said she posted the picture to a public Instagram account. The posts of their children were highlighted to the stranger as “suggested threads”.

in reply to Powderhorn

Meta is a disgusting company and Zuckerberg is an embarrassment for humanity.

That being said, the parents of those kids are stupid fucking idiots who should feel ashamed for exposing their own kids on such a shithole of social media.

in reply to cm0002

I'm not sure I can switch. I have too many friends linked to my server and a decade-ish of watched data.

I know many people watch from TV apps and Chromecasts and I don't know if there's an app for every TV brand for jellyfin or emby or whatever.

People watch from all sorts of weird devices. I got push back when I forced SSL because at least one person had a TV so old that it didn't support doing SSL for Plex. It took me a week to drill it into their brain that I'm not going to change it back and to go buy literally anything to make it work (Chromecast type thing). I think their ended up buying a Roku.

This is just the brainpower that most of the people I share with, have. They just want easy. I do all the hard work in the background and their life is easy.

I can't imagine how many would have a fit if I forced them off Plex.
Jellyfin looks cool and all, but it's unlikely I'll be able to move anytime soon.

in reply to MystikIncarnate

I understand that it's not so bad, but you made it sound like a hellish landscape
in reply to MystikIncarnate

Why do you let other people dictate how you run your media server?
in reply to MBech

It didn’t sound like they do. Just that at least one person complained but bought a Roku to fix.
in reply to MBech

I don't. There's just a nontrivial number of people I care about that use Plex that don't know enough about technology to handle something like jellyfin.

Losing years of watched data isn't great, but ultimately it's small potatoes.

A big part of the reason I wanted to set up Plex to begin with, was so that my friends and family didn't have to waste their time downloading the stuff that all of us want to watch.

They don't demand anything, I want them to be able to use it because I care about those people. If switching to jellyfin is too difficult for the non-techs I care about, then I'll keep rolling with Plex.

in reply to MystikIncarnate

You can run Jellyfin side by side and slowly migrate everyone, starting from the most intelligent users (so you can catch anything that might be wrongly configured, etc.).

In the meantime, I hope that so many users are switching that we're going to get better native apps.

in reply to MystikIncarnate

Why do you give a shit what other people do? It's just giving them a free way to waste time. If it's good for your server they are secondary. It's not like you are providing then anything they actual need.
in reply to cm0002

I've only ever used jellyfin and I've loved the experience. For me it was easy to set up and put media on, simple to put on TV, has been utterly reliable and stress free to manage.

The only issues I've had has been tailscale sometimes being wonky or I personally did something dozy on the server machine that I had to fix.

That said, I get why people stick with Plex. Not everyone wants to or are capable of setting things up. For those that have been saying it's really easy, you don't know the other person or their confidence/skill sets, don't just assume, it makes you sound like a Linux bro.



in reply to VladimirLimeMint

@VladimirLimeMint Lenin was really sex-averse, even for his rather patriarchal upbringing. It led to some pretty bad takes by modern standards but he also may have been an OG ace icon.

Lenin: "Gay sex is counterrevolutionary!"
Modern chud: "Fuck yeah!"
Lenin: "Straight sex is also counterrevolutionary!"
Chud: "Fuck y­— wait what"
Lenin: "If you aren't putting every ounce of your energy into physically building the revolution, what you are doing is counterrevolutionary!"
Trotsky: "Also the concept of family is bourgeois, and parents should have little to nothing to do with childrearing!"
Lenin: "... okay one tick there bud"

TODOS ÀS RUAS CONTRA A PEC DA BLINDAGEM E O PL DA ANISTIA!


cross-posted from: lemmy.eco.br/post/16695355

📍 Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
📌 Domingo - 14h - Copacabana - Posto 5

O congresso aprovou uma PEC que estende ainda mais o foro privilegiado dado a políticos eleitos e, agora, protege-os de qualquer investigação ou processos. A PEC, ainda por cima, está sendo usada como moeda de troca nos acordos do congresso para garantir a aprovação do PL da Anistia, o que significaria não punir os golpistas condenados pelo STF!

É preciso dar um recado claro: esse tipo de manobra deve ser repudiada intensamente pelo conjunto da classe trabalhadora! A garantia da condenação dos golpistas só será possível a partir da nossa força nas ruas!

Venha cerrar fileiras conosco na luta para enterrar os inimigos do povo e garantir um futuro que valha a pena viver!

Returning objects in a collection vs. IDs


In another topic ([url=https://activitypub.space/topic/478b8e04-0562-47c1-a3a3-82e17b32f0aa/smithereen-0.11-is-out]#Smithereen 0.11 is out![/url]), [url=https://mastodon.social/@grishka]@grishka@mastodon.social[/url] says this: [quote]I have this convent

In another topic (#Smithereen 0.11 is out!), grishka@mastodon.social says this:

> I have this convention where I return IDs for remote objects (obviously, how else would you authenticate them if not by fetching from the origin servers) but complete objects that are local, to save resources. IIRC I saw Mastodon do it for replies so just copied this behavior

It was in response to a discussion about conversation contexts — a resolvable collection of items that represents a conversation, thread, reply tree, etc.

Most implementors return a collection of object IDs, some return a collection of activities.

What about a mix of object IDs and full objects? That's interesting — it's the first I've heard of it.

My gut reaction is that it's messy... mixing types: strings for some items in the collection and complete objects for others.

... but I think at the end of the day, there are three things we need to acknowledge:

  1. Most implementors end up converting ids to complete objects anyway by fetching from the remote resource (unless it is not needed)
  2. Sending additional bytes over the wire is fairly inconsequential (unless I suppose you're sending many Mbits...)
  3. Including the entire object saves on additional calls if the receiving party does not already know about the object.
  4. You can trust the objects owned by the server you're requesting data from. (this is fe34)

I wonder if an amendment to f228 is needed silverpill@mitra.social to capture this use-case?
