This would allow clients to avoid flooding users with duplicate posts, and allow users to discover related discussions in different communities.
On a PC, I prefer having local tools; mainly open-source ones. They work without network connectivity, will continue to work in the future, store my data where I have control of it, and don’t generally don’t spy on me.
I think web apps might make more sense on mobile devices, because I mostly use them for communications and accessing online services, so network connectivity is usually a given. Web apps could also help mitigate the spyware problem brought by mainstream installed apps, because I could block third-party scripts if they were web apps. In practice, though? I de-googled my phone and use open-source apps exclusively, for the best of both worlds.

who@feddit.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Subnautica 2 saga turns messy: Former devs sue Krafton, as publisher accuses them of ‘betrayal’ | VGCEnglish241·6 days ago“The current Early Access version also falls short in terms of content volume.We are deeply disappointed by the former leadership’s conduct, and above all, we feel a profound sense of betrayal by their failure to honor the trust placed in them by our fans.”
This statement seems manipulative to me. As a Subnautica fan, I have always been interested in quality of content, not how fast it gets created. I can wait for a good game. Krafton is trying to disguise their own profit-driven expectations as if they came from me and others like me, deceptively using us as pawns in guilt-laden psychological warfare against the people who have been developing the game.
Dear publishers,
Please don’t be like Krafton.

Thank you, Internet Archive.
(I hope people who can afford to will send money to 404 Media and the Internet Archive. I think both deserve it.)
who@feddit.orgto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•FBI says it's now seized "multiple" ROM piracy sites, claims downloads resulted in $170m losses in just three monthsEnglish297·6 days agoIt also claimed these websites had seen cumulative downloads of 3.2m in just three months this year - from 28th February and 28th May - resulting “in an estimated loss of $170m”.
In other words:
- They assumed that every download was by someone who would otherwise have paid over 53 USD for it, which by itself is an absurd delusion.
- They described imaginary money that they never had in the first place as “losses”, which is a plain lie. You can’t lose something that you never had.
Given that both these blatant falsehoods match the propaganda that big media parasite corporations started pushing a few decades ago, it seems pretty clear who the taxpayer-funded FBI is working for.

Please, no. It’s welcome news, but nothing about the topic is uplifting.
