This. I strongly disagree with his decision to let Microsoft take over the thing that is basically cocaine for kids.


prevent e-waste
or maybe as a first step into self-hosting for someone who has no access to more suitable hardware





I don’t completely understand.
Why does normal shortcut open website without extensions? Does it open in private tab? And you have extensions disabled in private tabs?



Probably not. The barebones desktop mode has been integrated into Android core for quite a few years now. So it is safe to assume that it is there in GrapheneOS. But yes, someone should confirm that.
I can confirm that it is present in LineageOS.






Will it have any fallback systems so that it remains playable even when servers go down?
if not, it is another candidate for stopkillinggames.com



Wait, I was told that Core Decay development was halted, that the game was cancelled.


there is a #dead_game_news channel in AF Discord
and there is !accursed_farms, but there is not much going on in there.






repost

you know that on Lemmy you can just edit the post, right? Title, url and text, all can be changed.


this is just one of the instances
there are many more instances according to https://farside.link/ (which is a thing that will automatically redirect you to one of them: https://farside.link/teddit/ ) so by using this, you help reduce the load on individual instance, resulting in less “too many requests” errors for everyone.


This article makes it look like EU CVP defines “metaverse” as “lol connected stuff I guess” and not as “VRChat by Zucc”.
Which is good.
Still, I wonder if they will take (and contribute to) ThirdRoom or Mozilla Hubs instead of reinventing the wheel when they come to the VR part of their plan.


or, even better, get Lemmy to integrate this functionality and let users opt-in.
if I recall correctly, I have seen some Lemmy instance that made Youtube videos embed through the usage of farside.link
actually, each Lemmy instance could double as a Farside instance, so that whole network doesn’t pressure (and rely on) developer’s instance

having something like this would be very awesome
well, first thing would be to open a feature request in Lemmy’s issue tracker and start the debate about what is the best way to implement this


this proxy does not seem to be working for me
but then again, the LibRedirect extension automatically sent me to this site, where I was able to read the article just fine:

This is related to the problem that I have with these alternative frontends.
Instances might go down and suddenly all the links that you shared around are now dead.

Which is why I am extremely grateful to the developer and maintainer of Farside.link
It’s a thing that has a list of frontend instances and redirects to one of them.
So links stay alive even if specific frontend instance goes down.
But it still doesn’t fully solve this problem.
What if farside.link goes down? making a redirect between different Farside intances (lol I am not aware of any other instances, just developer’s one) just moves the issue one layer up.
Solution here is most likely something decentralized. Not sure if blockchain or not, but probably blockchain. Something that will keep the top-level redirecting service always working.
Is it some Ethereum smart contract? Is it something on IPFS? I don’t know. Someone smarter than me will have to figure this out.
