@mjg59 I'm glad they finally did it - way too late, but better late then never. I lost hope they'd ever do it.

Is there a federated Reddit alternative yet that is getting traction? With Reddit following Twitter, now might be the time for a migration :).

@MacChickGenius @smallsco There is. Because Apple likes to only support proprietary APIs like Metal that exist nowhere else, a port is significantly more work, for a market share that is not there. We see the same problem with Linux and porting to Linux is absolutely no work compared to a Mac port, thanks to Vulkan, DXVK and Proton. Apple wanted developer lock in, developers were not having it and Apple got what it deserved for boycotting industry standards.

@MacChickGenius @smallsco Also there is a long history of showing game devs the middle finger. There was only ancient OpenGL support that was completely broken for many years. The worst support in the industry for OpenGL by far. And to top it of, NVIDIA wanted to provide better drivers and Apple blocked them from doing so. Then they dropped 32 bit support while most games were still 32 bit. Now devs need to support a new arch and API when PC and consoles all support x86 + Vulkan.

@MacChickGenius @smallsco Apple for decades tried everything to screw over game devs as much as possible and what we are seeing now are the fruits of it. This is not gonna quickly change because of some WWDC announcement. Apple put decades of work into making sure game devs go away.

@bugaevc @MacChickGenius They presented it as "Game developers can use it to test if porting their games would make sense". Which was weird. I guess kinda like "Hey, we know our hardware isn't good enough for a lot of games, so maybe test with this first and if you get like 5 fps, don't bother"?

@bugaevc @MacChickGenius But also, maybe their 3 MB patch contains everything you need and that only applies to some binaries they distribute?

@bugaevc @MacChickGenius *shrug* That is what they said in the video. That it's for testing if it makes sense to port a game.

@bugaevc @MacChickGenius Apparently Steve Jobs hates games which is why gaming on Mac is in such a sorry state to begin with.

@delroth As a user, I'm quite happy that my instance doesn't block a lot of other instances. I like to make my own decisions of what I see and what I don't see. Breaking federation is what's going to kill the Fediverse eventually - some instances basically block almost every other instance. However, I don't mind having ignore lists that you are subscribed to by default and can remove. In the end, it should be all about freedom of choice.

@delroth I‘m absolutely not against having a default ignore list that you are subscribed to by default when you register. The problem is when I *want* to see a problematic post, e.g. for context, but can’t because the admin has decided to decide for me. I’m all fine with a default block list if there is an opt out.

@delroth Yeah, that's essentially my point. S2S is on the wrong layer, and there should be an opt-out. Give control what to see to the user, not the admin.

@delroth I guess this is personal preference. Personally, I like to see poa.st or even gab. I like to know what those I disagree with think and are up to and not live in my own bubble. But then again, I know about them and just ignore their bait. I wouldn’t even have replied like Torvalds did.

@delroth But then again, some instance block my instance because it doesn’t block e.g. poa.st. And that is just going way too far. I get blocked because I’d like to know what they are up to and get treated like one of them even though I have no connection to them. In German, we call this „Sippenhaft“ which is a big no no.

@mmu_man @trysdyn Those are the bindings on their official website. You need to check whatever bindings the emulator uses.

@narinarinari @daringfireball People keep claiming that and yet here I am with my own mail server, being able to send to GMail just fine.
