  • Telesur Banned in Argentina

  • Do reactionaries have a monopoly on paganism?

    I often see that norse paganism is often espouted by neofascists. I also notice stuff about how reactionaries have co-opted slavic paganism with this whole kolovrat stuff. Is this just a result of reactionaries being the loud minority and drowning out any left-wing pagan voices or do reactionaries actually have a monopoly on paganism?

    On the blockchain and DNS

    No, I'm not going to sell you on the 42069th cryptocurrency (thank goodness!), I just think that focusing on crypto, and, god forbid, NFTs, completely wastes the potential that blockchains have. Case-in-point: DNS. The centralization of DNS has been a disaster for the internet. The solution: Decentralize DNS with a free register-deregister system. As DNS is now decentralized, hosting fees will decrease dramatically. Laws will also need to be made to prevent DNS-scalping, so as to prevent people from sitting on domains and selling them for high prices. This might be resolved through either domain limiting or traffic tests, where a domain must keep a minimum amount of traffic over time in order to justify it staying registered. Otherwise, it would get deregistered and become freely up for grabs.

    On game development and copyright

    Firstly, let's get this out of the way. When you pay for a game, you're not actually paying for the copy of the game. In this digital world, a copy of the game is worthless. That's because little to no labor went into making the copy of the game. So what are you actually paying for when you buy a copy of a game? You are repaying a fraction of the value of the game itself. Now the difference between "the game" and "a copy of the game" is that "the game" is not a physical or even a digital item. "The game" is the item that was created as it was developed. However, what capitalism does is make it impossible to get the labor of the game paid in full. Instead, it makes you pay for every (worthless) copy of the game. And that's not even mentioning the surplus value that gets extracted from hardworking developers by greedy AAA companies. Socialism would solve these issues. Instead of having to release the game and then rolling the demand dice to decide what percentage of your labor gets compensated, your labor could get compensated in full as the game gets published. This is also good news for consumers, as now they can freely redistribute copies of the game without preventing labor from being compensated.

    Geogames are mediocre, but they don't have to be.

    We all know what a geogame is. You got Pokémon GO and Pokémon GO's edgy older brother (Ingress). And to be honest, most of them kinda suck. Sure, it's all the hype when it comes out, but then it just dies. And the main problem is that devs treat geogames as "Open World RPG + gimmick". Sure, Niantic does experiment with factions in their geogames, but what's the point if there's no real-world connection between faction members and factions just boil down to what your favorite color is? And yet Niantic has the audacity to call them teams? Most of your "teammates" live on other parts of the world and you'll never meet any of them! Pokémon go is trying to be both a singleplayer and a multiplayer game at the same time and it's sucking at that. But why are gamedevs limiting themselves of the potential of a geogame? The geogame should not be a gimmick that's added onto the idea, the geogame should be the idea. Geogames have so much potential! Start by actually achieving connections within factions by rotating the faction-player array 90°. Rather than having a few factions with a crapton of unrelated players in each faction, have a crapton of factions with a few close-knit players in each!

    PWA gets deleted after restarting

    So, I installed the Lemmygrad PWA on my phone, but every time I restart it, it gets deleted. This doesn't seem to happen with non-Lemmy PWAs, but why does it happen with Lemmy and Lemmygrad PWAs?

    Specs:\ Samsung Galaxy S20\ Android 13 (T)\ Brave 1.59.124 on Chromium 118
