Not sure if this was above posters point, but this was pointed out to me once...
As a guy who typically dates girls, you're asking a woman to go out in the woods alone with you to a place that likely has no cell service and no way to contact anyone and is typically for the most part completely isolated from civilization.
It is very obvious this studio does not know what they are doing and has learned little from their previous releases and from other contemporary games.
I think they've learned that they don't have to care about that to be successful. We have to keep reminding ourselves that success by these studios does not have to be defined by 'making a good game'. Starfield was a great success financially and there's no reason they should change gears from that perspective.
Starfield has made around $700 million.
It sounds like you're getting into the keeping it running phase.
First, going back to your previous comment, self-hosting email is difficult. It's not hard for a small provider to end up blacklisted and you're probably kind of just done at that point and it will feel very unfair. I get that it's a fun set of technical challenges, but you couldn't pay me enough to help someone self-host email.
Second, guessing, but it sounds like you may be trying to expose your services directly and doing a lot to make that work which goes against what most would recommend for hosting your own services. Big companies don't expose their intranet like that, follow their example. Almost every guide or system is going to warn against that. If you're going to host more than one thing, highly recommend focusing on minimizing entry points and looking into a VPN-like solution for accessing most if not all of your services. Still spend time on securing your intranet, but most of your risk is going to come from how hard it is for people to get past the front door (or doors).
We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.
Aww, the AI almost figured out how to give the boat a real name. Look how hard it was trying.
Man, the arms on some of those people are nightmare inducing though.
You're not wrong, but if we want companies to keep doing things for good PR, we need to reward them for it.
They're basically giant badly trained dogs that happen to control every aspect of our lives.
They work, but it's expensive and POC stage. They're mostly just not scaled to the level that we think we can take them to.
Not wrong, but they fucked up due to incompetence, not just some random preventable accident.
From the technical details I've seen, just having a basic testing process/environment should have easily prevented this. That should be the bare minimum.
I agree that lemmy shouldn't take it on itself, but I do think deeper integration into other foss systems is not a bad plan. Being able to integrate a matrix instance directly with a lemmy instance would be fancy and I think exploring stuff like that further could be the key to finally getting us beyond just seeking parity with reddit.
Can you afford enough lawyers to prove it?
I mean... Maybe some exceptions, but I don't feel like the community was being too pushy.
Stuff happens in life, people get that, but I don't feel like it's too much to ask for an update about what's going on more than once every other month and while we appreciate him trying to handle everything, when he can't, there needs to be some effort at creating a backup plan. And... then finally when people stepped up to offer to help him, he didn't appreciate them, ignored their efforts and pushed them out (which is why we have mbin).
I always find it interesting that people outside the US think this is a complete joke when really it's just... only slightly exaggerated.
Many gas stations have 64oz cups by default. I haven't seen it in awhile, but the 128oz soda was real and used to be widely available.
