That’s illegal, unfortunately. Only qccredited investors can invest into private companies. There should be a lower limit on that rule, say $100 or something, so naive investors could invest play sums in potentially shady stuff. But there isn’t, so you can’t.

I think it theoretically can’t be done. The protocol allows anyone to query for posts, and it has to work that way unless you want to move ActivityPub federation to an invite-only system. On most servers I think browsing while being logged out is sufficient, just like on pre-Musk Twitter.

Mastodon also doesn’t let you prevent people from reading your posts.

Mounting solar panels on roofs - like all roof work - is dangerous.

Sure, Vlad.

Unfortunately not. For me the main problem is discoverability. There’s no recommendation algorithm except for boosts. I’m not suggesting Mastodon integrate some kind of machine learning or other advanced stuff, but number of likes from followed accounts and a threshold would be nice for a start. As it is, Mastodon is just bad for entertainment purposes. Maybe it works for other purposes, but for entertainment I’d rather have the algorithm-fuelled quote-tweet dunking on Twitter.

MySQL sucks, and almost everyone who willingly use it also sucks.

Funding issues, according to the article

Dude. You played an RPG in spite of the story. There are better dhooters out there. Go play those instead

No, the way it’s often used is closer to “posh guest worker”.

It’s more that the bureaucracy is so complex and fragmented that it’s incredibly hard to digitalize. Lots of small fiefdoms that are entitled to make IT purchasing decisions themselves means paper is the only universal interchange format. In addition there is an unwillingness to change how things have always been done, or to simplify procedures. So there you have it: The German bureaucracy is too fat to move.

Hopefully will not be the case. Depends on whether buy-in from Heroic, Bottles, and Lutris maintainers have been secured

Not sure how well this has worked in practice. Lots of bad cancellation proceedures last time I had to do it

Yeah, Heroic or whatever just isn’t good enough. Joe Random doesn’t want that kind of jank on his gaming appliance.

As much as I love Valve I think it’d be weird for a 3rd party handheld to boot directly into the Steam UI. I get that there aren’t any viable alternatives atm, so I guess this is where we are. Wouldn’t hurt with a more store-neutral solution, in the end.

What about posting manuals on War Thunder forums?

Well, could always spend some of the money wasted on exchange rate manipulation on food subsidies instead. But I think just making the transition more gradual would be my bet

Having the currency be free-floating is the best policy. The transition might be a bit too rapid, though

Don’t play big titles on the Deck. That’s not what it’s good at. Play Fez or Tunic or something. There’s a near infinite list of great games that are not technically demanding.
