Nintendo plans to sue Palworld-maker Pocketpair
  • Pocket pair has money. Pal world was a smash hit and sold millions of copies and they could still be buried under legal fees by a behemoth like Nintendo via bullshit like repeated appeals

    Edit: in the us at least, not sure if this is suit is in Japan only, seems it was filed in tokyo. See the downfall of gawker for a US example

  • If lemmy.world became the biggest in the fediverse with a user base that could rival Reddit. Would it become monetized?
  • I think there is an arms race with content moderation that even if the instance is not themselves trying to monetize, clever and unscrupulous ad agencies will slip ads into feeds under the guise of actual content. I think it's a big reason Reddit went to shit even before it went public.

    How do you separate a user who innocently includes McDonald's into a post or comment from someone doing so with the intention of driving revenue? (Do you want some fries now?)

    It's probably already the case now just the 'ads' are mostly all political shit. Same idea just with a top-down political agenda rather than driving sales. They have all the public fediverse data to base their strategies on already.

    I think this issue is just handwaved away with "oh go to a different instance" but we're here for content ultimately and not all instances have what we're looking for. Ad agencies are going to be able to adapt to a changing landscape like that because it's literally their full time jobs/careers.

  • Removed
    The Mandelbrot Set
  • It's actually fairly recently discovered, first described in 1978 and kind of required computer graphics to show the crazy details.

    Blows my mind how such a simple algorithm creates such complexity. There are other minibrots found throughout the set so it goes on infinitely.

  • Supreme Court rejects multibillion-dollar Purdue Pharma opioid settlement that shielded billionaire Sackler family
  • I think there is likely to still be just as large of a personal variance in the rate that lisdexamphetamine is cleaved into the active metabolite, so the same problem arises.

    I think anything that delays the active metabolite from taking effect technically dampens the addictive potential; the longer the better. I also think it's unlikely to really solve the problem though tbh. People can still tell what's causing how they feel when they start a new medication.

  • Malaysia plans 'orangutan diplomacy' to boost palm oil sales
  • This is because it grows where rainforests are supposed to be, what is maybe the most productive natural habitat. There is likely far more wildlife per land area where palm oil is grown than places you can grow other vegetable oils.

  • Anon doesn't like any web browsers
  • Idk how you use Firefox wrong but anon here is doing it. Got mine loaded with add-ons n shit never had an issue in years. Imagine actually using brave.

    The problem is chromium dominance (edge and chrome mostly) as it makes other browsers vulnerable to the noncompetitive web standard changes that google likes.

  • Recommended addons - The compiled list
  • Big fan of Simple Tab Groups. Puts the tabs to the side and helps organize the 1000 tabs you may have open into different categories. Auto tab discard is a good thing to combo with it

  • 'The gold rush is over:' Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon devs say that big Game Pass and Epic exclusive deals have dried up for indie devs
  • Because craftopia and palworld have a social aspect getting a big seed of players who only played it because it was free (for them) was I think a catalyst in making palworld blow up like it did. There are too many games out there for people to look through so it probably helps get word out effectively to sell out cheap for a big initial audience like gamepass when you're a small dev. I only knew of craftopia or palworld because of gamepass at least

    The flip side is Microsoft is 100% giving the above as a sales pitch to devs why they should put their game on gamepass for peanuts (paid in exposure!). That's probably some of what drives the shittier deal devs get now
