Whatever the social media ability to “create” your own algorithm is important. One way being a subscription and sticking to it.

Second being keyword filtering. I use Connect for Android which let’s me filter out posts and communities containing keywords.

Same thing I do on reddit with reddit enhancement suite.

It’s just the nature social media where anone can sign up.

Isn’t it more in the real world people don’t interact with close to the number of people they do on the internet, and they never encounter or avoid a lot of people which acts like a real world filter or blocklist?

Internet is like walking in a store and then being flooded with hearing the thoughts of everyone in the store like you’re experiencing a telepathic attack.

I think when the time comes I’ll give Windows 11 ltsc a look which has tpm be optional. Less bloatware too.

They should enable ability to do local backups.

I want Deckard already. Been waiting on that since I don’t want to get Facebook VR, and hoping by the time Deckard comes out there will be more VR titles releasing from Valve since other than Alyx and Best Saber not much interests me.

It seems so niche but somehow more mainstream than horror games like Alan Wake. It always blows me away how popular simulators are despite not knowing anyone who plays them.

Winning move from Epic. Showing what should be done for abandoned games. Give it back to the people so it can continued to be enjoyed by the community that will continue to care for it.

Beautifully well down Epic. This is what should be allowed for discontinued games so community that loves them can still enjoy them.

Brilliant resource! Thank you for sharing it.

Old ass boomer fixating on games are evil I guess and finding it deserves more attention than places like Twitter and YouTube filled with influencers who have the captive audience of very susceptible individuals that they are molding them to their image. Maybe focus on the root cause.

I think gaming is too mainstream like television/movie viewers to lump it into some type of niche group/activity these days. Especially with the increased communication and connectivity that the internet provides that brings all sorts of wanted and unwanted people together.

I’m someone who enjoys gaming, and when I play games like The Finals these days I disable chat/voice because most people are assholes. Game previously didn’t have chat and enabling that turned it from what felt like a wholesome community because I wasn’t exposed to their thoughts to it breaking the illusion when they were able to express themselves.

I think this is more a more broad societal issue and a worrying one of being shown what people truly think. Even a minority is a huge amount when the population is billions, so a lot of damage can be done. Games is just another avenue they choose to be toxic in along side other vehicles provided to communicate their thoughts.

If history is repeated isn’t it more likely that it results in a one party nation that isn’t taken down unless a foreign country intervenes militarily?

These type of movements seem to lean towards one that as reflective of what the people of the country want with the initial stages more downplaying people’s worst criticisms until power is successfully seized from all corners of that country’s government.

Dictatorships seem to hit the first stage through votes, so by the time that happens it usually means a majority are in favor of such a transition of power.

Don’t think there is a way of changing it unless population that ushered it in changes.

Thankfully modders have made good progress of coming closer to emulating servers for it so people can play it offline.

Bad part is Ubisoft actually removed The Crew from some people’s Ubisoft account. Steam versions were safe ironically to be able to download the game to make use of it when Crew community made fix is out.

Crypto first came for GPUs then AI came for GPUs. And now tariffs are coming after everything. I don’t like these sequels.

It’s why I bought Apple stocks long before I bought any Apple products. I had faith in Apple consumers.

I installed it without GeForce experience when it started requiring the account sign in. No login might get me to use it again so I can update drives without having to go to the site to do it manually.

They want cheap labor. It’s not worth it if it costs more.

They can try but normal people don’t have time for more than one live service game. So it’d need to be amazing to convince them to give up the live service game they are grinding the hell out of already.

Deserved.
