Did you even read the article?
This is not the same Flappy Bird. The original game already has been preserved, the APK is floating around if you know where to look.
This new game is an outright scam using stolen IP to trick users into thinking this is the original.
Normally these kind of announcements come with some kind of explanation. The lack of one reflects very poorly on Mozilla and leads me to assume the worst.
So real gambling is M, fake gambling is R18+. Makes sense.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Haven't had a whole lot of time to practice, but I'm working on charge partitioning. Managed to get double ball a few times in a match.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - After getting demoted to Expert I went on an even worse losing streak for a bit, but I seem to be clawing my way back now. It's just sample size, or so I keep telling myself.
Splatoon 3 - Grand Festival was rad. Not the Turf War part, Turf still sucks, but it was the second best concert I saw all week.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Goofy clip of the week
Them's Fightin' Herds - Hopped on commentary for Glue Cup 2v2 this week. Need to make more time to actually start playing again.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Remember when I said I was done grinding this game mode and wouldn't do another run?
Splatoon 3 - Haven't touched Salmon Run since the last Big Run and I'm clearly rusty. Apparently 173 wasn't even top 20% on this map, damn. At least I finally killed a Triumvirate.
I love everything that Fedi stands for, I wouldn’t still be here if I didn’t.
But it’s hard to shake the feeling that I’m mostly posting out into the void. I’m not optimistic about Fedi’s future, I think at this rate Bluesky is going to win even though they’re clearly only paying lip service to federation. Maybe if they can demonstrate that their federation works I’d consider trying a third party server, but it’s clearly not ready yet, and leaves a sour taste in my mouth as yet another corporate thing pretending not to be.
Ever since I swore off Reddit after the API fiasco, and ever since I left the one Discord server where I used to feel like I fit in, it’s felt harder and harder to find alternative places where I can talk about my most niche interests, because nowhere else is big enough for it to be likely I’ll find anyone else who also wants to talk about those same things.
I don't think Fedi will ever be that for me. The one thing I can say for Cohost is that at the rate it was going, I was able to find a lot more posts relating to my hobbies and fandoms, and I kinda regret that I didn't post more and lurk less.
It just sucks to feel like there’s nowhere else on today’s dying internet to go that will suit my needs.
Damn. Hadn’t actually posted there much but I did lurk quite a bit.
Just feels like every attempt at alternative social media is dying as the internet shrinks to a few corporate websites that control everything.
When I point out that it's bad for Afghanistan to "go broke"
Except that isn't what OP actually said. Now who's having a rich disagreement with people in their head?
This thread started with vilifying the Taliban, you responded with "oh you want people to starve?" Obviously, this is not a direct response to what they actually said.
All anyone said was that the Taliban is bad, and you're very weirdly up in arms about that.
Games that are in the business of selling anime girls end up attracting a certain demographic. And as the developers know who their audience is and double down on catering to that crowd, this kind of behavior becomes increasingly normalized over time.
In order to get more people on Fedi, we have to get more people on Fedi. People will go whereever everybody else already is. That's the only thing keeping Twitter alive, even though almost everyone there will openly admit they hate it, no one will actually leave Twitter because everyone else is still on Twitter.
It's a chicken-and-egg problem that I don't think Fedi can actively do anything to solve. Or rather, I think it's too late to solve. If there's any competitor that has a chance, BlueSky has established a much bigger userbase in far less time, and that's enough momentum to potentially get there. Anyone who's leaving Twitter will go to BlueSky before they ever look at Fedi.
I would be entirely fine with Flappy Bird passing into the public domain, but this isn't even that. They actually own it now.
