  • Friendica is a great fediverse alternative to Facebook

  • I think that it's a pretty reasonable assumption that intersection of people familiar with alternativeto and the people interested in seeking Facebook alternatives on the fediverse are also more than capable of spinning up a friendica instance on an rpi

  • Friendica is starting to seem like a fantastic option to serve as a hub account to the fediverse! There's a reason people liked Facebook at one point, and I think they're on the right track to advancing the idea with less corrupting influences

  • if they weren't already organizing, I bet they are now. CWA has been receiving so many high quality leads for the last 2 years that they literally do not have enough dues-paying members to fund all of those campaigns. They're one of the largest unions in the US already.

  • welcome to fascism, where the only person is the one with power.

  • More than 15,000 doctors sign letter urging Senate to reject RFK Jr. as health secretary

    Jump

  • As a person who's organized petitions for widely felt issues, the impact isn't strictly from a raw percentage of participation (though it's a significant factor when that number is large). The impact comes from the number of people involved. Of the roughly 1 million doctors in the country, 1% were so against the concept that they chose to take direct action.

    If that many people were moved to action, how many are against it but not ready or willing to fight? How many felt it wouldn't matter if they signed? How many more didn't hear about it?

  • Thank you, every ounce of support I get is what keeps me fighting. It's fine if you disagree, I very well could be overconfident

  • I don't think you understand the outsized influence a few hundred activists can be. I was 1 of about 30 people who helped organize AQAU, one of the biggest unions in the industry, 600 people encompassing all of publisher-side QA.

  • Correct, the reason I gave a 5 year window is because the investment into Linux support is tiny right now so they don't accidentally cut into the quarterlies.

  • I was illegally fired for organizing unions. The labor activist world is tiny. I'm able to make these statements with the confidence that I do, because I've talked to hundreds of people in several game companies.

  • You're right on all accounts, I oversimplified for humor. Server-side IS more expensive and does exist in limited ways. Rolling matches on dedi servers are highly profitable, unfortunately the old school days of matchmaking are over for everything except indie companies that want to replicate the nostalgia

  • Every person excluded from a purchase is money lost in the eyes of corporations. It's why boycotts work when they're properly organized. It's why microtransactions are usually less than $5. I've been in corporate meetings for game companies before, I was recently illegally fired. The addition of Linux support is coming, but the big corporations need motivation to do it quickly.

  • When it comes to large corporations, they're very risk adverse but will ruthlessly pursue every stray penny. It always bubbles up from the indie companies, so expect native Linux support for specifically steamOS so they don't have to contend with the GPL and FOSS advocates by 2030.

  • Ok so if you agree that their playerbase of millions marks a successful game, then why do you consider the possibility of millions of players insignificant?

  • Call of Duty is the biggest fps game in the world, every year. Their playerbase is "only" in the millions, so I suppose you agree with the executives that it's not nearly successful enough?
