From what I remember:

Owner locked all of the devs out of access to the project

Some racism/homophobia

And some other things i dont exactly remember rn, but because of this stuff the devs all left and forked into Prism so im not even sure is Poly is still being developed, and if it is id be sceptical on how safe it is to use given who owns it.

That would be absolutely retarded reasoning but given other shit hes done, like cancelling the CHIPS act, i would not at all be suprised if this was how he thought/planned

A man can dream

Yeah no youre right. Theres still the chance of the major instance that everyone is using being censored but ig thatd be a temporary problem.

Til russia inevitably breaks the ceasefire and they cut off the intelligence again.

Yk i was insanely sceptical regarding the whole “but it probably has like fuckall users” part of Lemmy, but it feels miles less pretentious and inauthentic than reddit ever did. Wild how much more pleasant it is.

My main hopes for Lemmy really are that we manage to get a large enough userbase that more niche things arent excluded and forced to go to reddit, and that is isnt censored.

As much as i dont like some viewpoints from some groups (like the people supporting russia in ukraine, trump supporters, general trolls), i think censorship is more damaging than productive. I just hope that we can have nice things and it doesnt turn into a cesspool of either the far left or far right circlejerking eachother.

I mean, the parts of Ukraine russia hold just so happen to be where massive oil reserves were found/being prepped to drill conveniently before the war broke out, a LOT of those being offshore reserves.

So yeah, if russia manages to keep this somehow through negotiations or just by strongman-ing the land, they have a lot to gain financially by both controlling these reserves and by not having ukraine mine for them and sell them which would bring russia competition.

Honestly motion blur done well works really well. Cyberpunk for example does it really well on the low setting.

Most games just dont do it well tho 💀

I wouldnt be suprised if putin beat his ass. They both might be old decrepit fucks but putin has martial arts training at least. This response to one of my countries government officials is also what pushed me over to finally dropping as much american everything as possible.

Doesnt that kinda go against the whole point of r/place? Kinda fuckin stupid
