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.

This doesn’t work because no matter how many potions you have, you have to save them for when you really need them. Then, you end up finishing the game having never touched any of them.

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.

My friend, if you don’t think that’s scummy then I think you’re a little bit too acclimated to marketing scams.

Fucking podman… Oh man. I have lost way too many hours dealing with podman.

It’s frustrating, because they’ve put so much into it. It’s close enough that vendors think they can get away with saying their containers are compatible and they’ve probably really honestly tested for brief periods and it really usually is close enough that you don’t discover the differences until you’re already very well established, but then it’s just a little different and it takes you FOREVER to find out why but then the only option once you do find that out is to completely start over from scratch with docker. And, almost no vendor is going to treat them differently because if we talk to redhat, the first note we’ll get back is that everything we’re trying to do should be fully compatible and there should be no need to worry about that. And, then eventually after a few weeks, it’s docker’s fault that IT WORKS IN DOCKER AND NOT IN PODMAN. Docker needs to go fix it so it’s broken for them too, it’s not a bug for podman, the problem is with the one that’s working.

I’m a bit traumatized, not always the same, but this isn’t a singular occurrence.

I’ll thank them when they stop remaking perfectly fine utilities over minor issues then doing a shitty job with compatibility.

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.

I am mystified as to what this says about me.

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.

Man, it took me a while to figure out you were on about the dude’s username. I was real confused.

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.

I mean shit right? Where can I get some of that tea?

We’re estimated to have lost about 15 million additional people in 2020/2021 due to covid and a disturbingly large amount of us were salty about being asked to cover their mouths in order to stave it off. Might favor certain groups, but it’s doom from every generation top to bottom.

It’s kinda sad to see Mongolia now. Not a lot going on, almost completely dependent on China.

Can you afford enough lawyers to prove it?

After Joker/etc, they seem to be trying to pivot towards more artistic movies. I’m definitely interested to see where it goes.

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).

The head dev just kinda peaces out from time to time. Supposedly, he’s got a lot going on in his personal life, and he probably really does, but he’s also unwilling to hand over the reins or communicate or share, so the main instance just kinda died.
