Bro I’m from the future you can’t ask me stuff like that, be patient, you’ll figure it out

Hello indie gamer, it’s me, you, from the future.

I’d like to introduce you to PATIENT indie gaming.

The only games I play are small team, longer running, well documented, developers are passionate, mods exist, can play on a potato or a steam deck, etc

Because I’m patient, I don’t ever get preorder, Kickstarter, prealpha disappointed.

I know exactly what I’m getting, I pay once, and boom, I own a great game for ever. (You can more often fully DL indie games)

Those are the charges yes, but how is this any different than what all sorts of corporations do

Gotta get that 5g out

Just tell them to touch grass and reply “lolmad” when they get upset.

No, they’ll likely just attack the authors as being “in on it”

And if you’ve made a personal website, say, with a blog of your valuable ideas/art (valuable to you, or anyone, arbitrarily), the ability to erase your site represents forgetting. The whole site may contain your PII throughout.

Any scraping or archiving techniques degrade that right.

Totally get what you’re saying, but I’m highlighting the mechanical step of a third party having “every right” to scrape or persist your content is in complete contrast to the other points in this thread about rights to be forgotten and so on.

I’m not discussing what they do with it, I’m discussing the raw act of ingesting your page.

Cats and bags

To venture into opinion, I think there shouldn’t be “every right” to archive your page, for any purposes such as archive or ai or whatever.

Edit but I acknowledge how the open internet works and the futility of trying to control that

This is just like AI scraping

Edit if you allow a third party to “archive” your content, the ship has sailed. I’m not advocating for or against anything but once your stuff is scraped (by anyone) it’s gone.

I’m not fighting you, I’m calling out people addicted to bezosmilk, going on to complain about the taste.

Although if anyone is on the side of gigacorp consumption as the appropriate pattern, then I am fighting that behavior. (Especially when what’s offered is a market of luxury convenience)

Not engaging with gigacorps is the way.

Like, I’m not gonna care about defending the position of addiction. It’s like the sports gambling meme

What the fuck does that have to do with this ? You do not need Amazon. It’s a luxury service with questionable ethics.

The burn is admitting you use Amazon at all.

Man uses crack, has health issues. More news at 11

There’s lots of great reasons to use bezos’ services less. Ranging from ethical to security

Use it less. Or none. Solved.

Heck yeah

Where code

I think leave if your instance federates. Vote with your feet, not much else you can do
