Sounds great, thank you for your work :)

What would that be? I think many players don’t care, and many players do…so it would be nice to have a solution for both

Mh yeah I see your point. What about creating just a megathread for all matches on a given day? It wouldn’t be as much spam, and it would attract some users I think. I think on the other hand at the moment there are not many posts, and maybe this would help raise the engagement a bit

Very interesting question. As an Italian (specifying this because it probably changes what and when things happened), I remember this transition started to happen in 2010 mainly because of Facebook.

It’s difficult to say why we decided to go with real names on that platform when there were already other similar ones (netlog was super popular here), where most people were mostly semi-anonimous (real pictures, fake names). I totally agree with another comment which said we started to realize internet was not that dangerous or bad, which probably made this happen, combined with the fact that Facebook explicitly asks for your real name.
Back then, I feel there was also much less attention to privacy on the internet (or maybe it’s just because I was a teenager), and it felt super exciting to engage with every new platform or website.

Beware, though, that not all of them are really connected. For instance, beehaw recently defederated from lemmy.world and shitjustworks.

I would also add that yes, in general one shouldn’t overthink which instance to sign up on, because you can still mostly view content from all other instances. However, you might take a few mins just to check the rules and philosophy of the instances. It’s basically like assigning yourself to a Harry Potter house. In the end you’ll all end up interacting in hogwarts, but being a slytherin can mean something different than being a griffindor

I’ve been using an Asus vivobook with an oled screen for the past two months. It works perfectly fine, imo especially on Wayland with the proper scaling setting. The only thing you should be aware of is that some apps still rely exclusively on X, and those will look blurry

Lol understandable

As an Italian, the look of that pesto just feels wrong lol still better than some “pasta carbonara” I saw in foreign supermarkets :P

With his friends mayo and soy sauce

interesting indeed, even though it seems to work only on specific tasks. I definitely support this direction though. LLMs are getting out of hand (have actually been for a while now), slipped from researchers’ grasp into big tech companies’. I think the work that the open source and research community is doing already with the chatgpt lookalike models is incredible
