The masses need a simple drop in replacement. Fluxer could be that. Matrix isnt.

Games@lemmy.world•Why so many Steam games have weirdly similar (and forgettable) names
15·7 days agoPlayer Unknown’s Battlegrounds Battlegrounds is such a weird case. The name was stupid to begin with, everyone ended up just calling it PUBG. Then they rebranded to PUBG being the company name and the game name, but then slapped Battlegrounds back on the end anyway?!

Games@lemmy.world•Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years
13·8 days agoWell, they decided to make a new version and bottled it, so now have a lot of tech debt to catch up on. The Java version has had work for sure, but unpaid modders still do more for optimisation.
I’m not sure on who the developers are anymore, but I sure hope the people working on the backend are not the ones relied on for new content either.
This isnt tiny little Mojang and Minecraft anymore, this is the best selling game of all time.

Games@lemmy.world•Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years
10·8 days agoThe game has limitless untapped potential.
They could make whole new dimensions that are essentially a new game plus. With new, harder mobs, bosses with actual mechanics, new gear, resources, etc.
The creative sandbox aspect of the game is fantastic, I love creating things and seeing what other people make, but the survival aspect has had no real expansion. Their horrible balancing and failed combat update leaves no wiggle room for new weapons. The wooden axe does the same damage as a diamond sword.

It’s people who rush into relationships because they feel like they need one, instead of taking time to find your actual best friend forever.

Passkeys are just more convenient replacements to passwords, ideally suited for a password manager flow.
For most people, this works really well and is a lot better than remembering loads of passwords. It’s easier to get people to remember a single stronger password and use passkeys to login to services.
The whole lose access thing isnt as big of a deal breaker as you make it sound (It literally works the same as it does now with passwords). Considering the large amount of people that forget their passwords and constantly reset them, passkeys can help. There’s a reason popular sites just ask you for a code from an email now instead of even prompting for your password.
You want to use biometrics to individually login to services, great. But what about those of us who don’t want to rely on biometrics? That’s where passkeys do both jobs.
That’s why you shouldn’t use exclusive on device storage for them, like Apple/Google want you to. Biometrics are shit, I prefer passwords if we are having no passkeys. I agree they are not perfect, but we can improve them and they will be a lot better than passwords for the majority of people.
Also, you wont lose your account, youll just have to go through a recovery process. Exactly the same as you would now if you forgot a password or lost a MFA code.
I think their biggest weakness is the vendor lock in. Using a 3rd party password manager is the best solution for most people, so they arent locked to their phone. But they are right in saying none of it is quite ready.
I think the article is forgetting, they are password replacements, not account recovery replacements. Realistically, people are just as likely to forget a password, and account recovery proceedures still have to be in place. I dont see the issue there.
Passkeys are good they are just being pushed before properly fully developed, but we are slowly getting there.

I think BIOS has just morphed into meaning the firmware interface, nobody calls it UEFI. Everyone does indeed just say BIOS, which is okay. You can be more specific when it matters, which is basically never in the mass market.

1001·12 days agoIf you want to sell without discs, then you need to open your hardware up and allow storefront competition and DRM-free games.
That’s why people are angry, not just because of the physical media aspect.



I’m sorry. It absolutely isn’t. It’s a nice Matrix client though.
