I had to look up astroturfing in this context, so hopefully I got this right. But isn’t that just the actual commenting then? Obviously voting could get that comment moved closer to the top when done by the perps in this case but I think it would take the community to also be up voting the comment for it to rise to the top. I also don’t think knowing who commented actually fixes this issue nor does it give more ability from an admin perspective to get rid of those comments if that was desired.

I could be missing something though.

What is the benefit here in this case? Basically why do we care who upvotes or downvotes something that it needs to be exposed?

When Chrome came out it was fairly light on resource usage and speedy because of that. Firefox was a resource hog at this time. Chrome now is a show resource hog and Firefox is much peppier overall in my opinion.

Federated doesn’t mean open.

It’s like a potentially abusive spouse, asking their future spouse to waive all rights to seek legal recourse if they beat them in the future. This crap shouldn’t be legal.

Oh haha, yeah that makes more sense

Nobody wants to do that

HOL?

Just because you give money to someone or something it doesn’t make it a charitable organization that doesn’t get taxed.

Someone mentioned above but we have that in Matrix. A great federated messaging service.

It’s a cloud service now, so fully usable via the browser.

What provider is that? I have just of my metadata issues resolved but occasionally I find a season all messed up.

I don’t see how any of this would hold up in court. I’m pretty sure you can’t be liable for a new tos for what is essentially new software that you didn’t use in your project. This company is clearly run by fucktards who are hoping to prey upon devs that just don’t know better or can’t fight back.

That’s not Baldurs Gate, it’s Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance which is a completely different game that was on consoles. It was an Action RPG as opposed to an RPG.

But it was also great fun. Especially with a friend.

That makes sense, thanks for the insight!

I wonder how much of the inability to be profitable is driven by their licensing costs.

I mean it’s really just giving you a choice on how you want to support the dev. Either by having ads or paying for the application directly. If either of those are too much then head to another app. There are literally quite a few free apps available,which is fantastic, without ads. Free as in freedom to choose doesn’t mean though you should be a mooch and just take and not contribute anything back to the community that you’re a part of.

Why wait and not just start a community up?

I’d recommend getting off saving your passwords in the browser at all and move to something along the lines of BitWarden and install the appropriate plugins to your browser.
