Valve then forwarded us the statement from Nintendo’s lawyers, and told us that we had to come to an agreement with Nintendo in order to release on Steam.
We all know Nintendo is a bitch and there’s nothing illegal in emulators, but Valve’s stance looks reasonable to me, it would be serious damage to Steam if they were involved in legal litigation.
No, but it’s highly unlikely since before it’s been buttered it doesn’t know yet which side to fall upon.
Ooh they changed them :O What …
As I understand it, API charges are for everyone, Apollo for example showed the app is within the limits, I think other app devs did the same.
While not wanting their data to be scraped for AI for free is indeed a valid reason, if it was the real reason they would have come up with different tiers of pricing like every other paid platform does.
Edit: Apollo was within the limits, but reddit changed the rules apparently …
I answered the one asking what happened.
Anyway, I get it’s temporary, I’m not a mod but if they say better tools are needed, I believe them.
better moderation of the offending instances.
What does that mean?
Do they expect lemmy.world admins to police 25K people across 700+ servers? I don’t think that’s how it works.
Or do they mean that they reported harassers to our admins and they didn’t do anything about it?
Apparently some idiots from here think it’s fun coordinating a troll-attack on them and they don’t have enough mod power to deal with it, so they removed their connections with us and sh.itjust.works.
Try this: go into your user settings, change Type from Local to Subscribed and Sort type from Active to Hot (or New if you prefer that).
Then click on Communities on the top bar, switch the list from Local to All, and find communities you’re interested in, you can also search for specific names.
Avoid names ending in @beehaw.org if you see them, they defederated us so we can’t interact with them anymore.
When you find something you like, click on the community name to go to their page, on the right you’ll find the Subscribe button.
After you subscribed to enough communities, close lemmy and open it again, see if it’s better that way (it is for me).
Microsoft Teams is the official communication tool for business where I work, no need to use whatsapp tho a few colleagues use it for fluff, as for personal/family, some of my family use whatsapp but I don’t (I use Discord), if we want to talk to each other we use “good old-fashioned” phone calls :D
