Incomprehensible comment.

Yeah, it’s still popping.

Honestly, I totally get that. But for what it’s worth, the game is more than just maximizing efficiencies like this. This is just a crazy case for me.

Multiboxing is not botting. Conflating the two implies ignorance.

For context, “multiboxing” is running multiple clients at once, and usually stacking them on a single monitor and rapidly flicking through them with a program like EVE-O Preview to activate commands with the mouse in short order. It is allowed in EVE, it is not against the TOS. Some people multibox with tiled windows, or one per monitor, though, because they prefer it for various reasons.

This was a hard post to read.

You’re not shadowbanned from YouTube. The creator you’re commenting on has simply “hid” you from their channel. Which ironically is a shadowban, just on a creator level.

The level of panic and outrage you’ve displayed here despite not having a clue as to how the mechanic you’re discussing works is remarkable.

I always find it so extraordinary when someone replies to one of my comments with some off-the-wall shit like this.

You’re splitting hairs I already split. I specifically pointed out that their core products, you know, the things that actually matter, render the company among the most-reliable tech giants out there. I explicitly countered the notion that the fling-shit-and-see-what-sticks method is anything other than an elaborate R&D scheme.

Yet, here you are, responding to me raging about Google’s failproducts as if I didn’t JUST get finished explaining what that’s all about and how it doesn’t detract from their ability to generate income. They’re not lunatics, you just don’t understand what’s happening. Which again, is wild, because you’re literally responding to a comment where I explained what’s happening.

Most excellent.

Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it’s here?

Mission Specialists.

They were given trivial tasks to perform to justify the title. It was in bad faith and should have rung alarm bells. But I anticipate for the luxury thrill-seeker, they may be accustomed to fancy titles for their trips, and didn’t even really think about it.

It pains me to defend a corpo, but calling Google unreliable for their “fling shit and see what sticks” methodology for developing new products is inaccurate. Google/Alphabet is actually one of the most reliable corpos in the tech sphere, relatively-speaking, if you analyze their core products throughout the years.

Yes, it does feel like Google retires projects faster than they instantiate them. But that’s by design. The core product (selling advertising on SERPs/YouTube/AdWords/etc) is about as reliable as it gets, and that’s where they get their money.

Obligatory “fuck corporations.”

This post is weird. You’re typing like you’re in charge of things, but you’re apparently not.

It’s one thing to show some initiative, but you’re literally demanding a full report like the Lemmy devs work for you. You sound like someone who does this kind of thing for a living and felt the need to flex. Because otherwise, what the hell are you even doing?

Setting neurotically-specific demands for the developers makes sense if you represent a big instance or something, but you’re literally just a dude. You could have framed this entire post in a different way and gotten away with it. Right now, it’s creepy to anybody who actually reads the entire thing.

This federation stuff is nothing new. Nobody calls emailing a network, they call it a tool. That is what ActivityPub is. This culture of glorification surrounding “federation” is silly.

There is no “should be” when it comes to tools. Only what people use them for.

The bits about “ad-free” were clearly because who the hell would’ve thought Facebook of all companies would pop into the ActivityPub scene? I’m sure they would adjust that statement now.
