Also black here 👋🏾

They are working on screen reader support, there was a blog post about that 2-5 days ago I think.

Agreed, it seems really odd for any such society to do away with something so beloved

No one is talking about you, mass media and consumerism has nothing to do with anything you described. Video games as a whole does not equal consumerism or mass media. Micro transactions and other terrible patterns do.

Nah, it’s pretty weird that you enjoy being mean on public forums. If you want to criticize then do so, don’t be an ass about it.

My downvotes are to the right 😩, I guess this means I gotta upvote

This might be one of my new favorite lemmy communities. This image and so many others are just straight bangers

I think you’re misunderstanding what the claim here is. The payments are not necessary for Flathub and flatpak (though they take a cut), it’s revenue for developers. Revenue they would have never seen if their app is packaged in distro repos like normal. Implementing payment systems in the native package format is basically impossible which is why no one ever did it. Flathub is giving app developers (whose job is oftentimes thankless) a chance to receive easier funding or even a livelihood. All around a good thing.

The number is actually 245 since the total population is 275. They wrote it in the article.

Memmy is an iOS only app though. It would like pretty out of place on android as it is right now imo. And personally I find the design to be a little more clean than Mlem right now.

That’s a really neat bit of history. I wish I knew about this sooner, some of those look really cool. Thanks.
