    Indeed. This definitely deserves some attention and following to get archived in !fediverselore@lemmy.ca.

    it's a coordinated attack by some japanese kids in a discord server, it's bizarre. Not a particular attack on us but the fediverse.

    It's mostly about mastodon, but spammers also have hit Lemmy communities. This mastodon post contains solutions to mitigate the wave for admins, and also link to the origin of the thread. Turns out they're japanese kids from discord.

    Nintendo says Super Mario Bros. Wonder soared due to multiplayer magic

    It was pretty successful while it lasted, it always had a sunset date :(

  • Nintendo says Super Mario Bros. Wonder soared due to multiplayer magic
  • brunox brunox Now 100%

    Personally I had some great and memorable experiences of collaboration in online multiplayer, and some forgettable experiences of just seeing the other players pass by and being meh about it like if they weren't there.

    I definitely do not think the online multiplayer is a factor on the game success, I don't think it affected the game success at all. Just being a refreshing 2d Mario game, and the Mario Movie is enough.

    I am not sure if the original quote of Shontaru Furukawa means online multiplayer or local multiplayer. The wording and context make me think of local multiplayer ("people can enjoy with family and friends during the year-end holiday season, when people get together"), but the half of the people playing multiplayer make me think of online multiplayer. The context of the interview (a Q&A by the end of fiscal year, for investors) make me think Furukawa is being vague on this on purpose.

    El Laboratorio de Datos y Sociedad escribe sobre los artículos de la rendición de cuentas, y sus posibles consecuencias, que hacen que Spotify se vea "forzado" a irse de Uruguay. Resulta que lo de Spotify es lo de menos y hay consecuencias realmente relevantes. Incluye un PDF con el análisis completo.

    Spotify will end service in Uruguay due to bill requiring fair pay for artists
  • brunox brunox Now 100%

    Cash money says there’s already a native competitor just waiting to get that money

    There isn't and probably won't be. At least not one with a library even half a size to that of spotify. People will probably flock to some competition like apple music or youtube music (neither of those services, as they are not very popular, seem to have said anything about this copyright law amendment). Also a senator already pointed out that if you have a valid argentinian credit card (there's one very easy to get here), you can just register as an argentinian and pay less than a dollar instead of the seven dollars it costs here as a turnaround.

  • WhatsApp is one step closer to adding email address verification
  • brunox brunox Now 100%

    You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference?

    No, I don't mean that. Whatsapp traffic (files i don't think is included in the deal) is treated by the companies independently of other data traffic. You may not have a data plan, but still get a "whatsapp free" thingy, you can text for free via whatsapp without using data plans.

  • WhatsApp is one step closer to adding email address verification
  • brunox brunox Now 100%

    Depends on the country, in mine data plans are not that expensive (add some asterisks to that). But they include those "whatsapp free" or some streaming service traffic with no cost to get the edge over other phone companies. All of them mostly have the whatsapp free thing.

    I used to live in a different country and it did make a significant difference, as @desconectado@lemm.ee points out below.

    Same here (South America). You can not use it yourself but it will mostly keep you out of the loop on everything. Most of the phone companies don't charge you whatsapp message data just to make it more inescapable.

  • which distro and why do you prefer it over others?
  • brunox brunox Now 100%

    I use Arch (btw). It's not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i'm just used to it by now.

    (that's my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

    No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they're all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.

    third world countries are keeping up. My ISP reserves the right to throttle my bandwidth once use a certain amount of data. I have to say I haven't noticed it do it yet. Yet being the keyword here.

    It's this. You're in your instance and you see things how your instance sets them up.

    Buenas, Primero que nada disculpas si este no es el lugar adecuado para este post. He notado últimamente que la interacción con kbin (en realidad con kbin.social) no está funcionando bien. La federación anda medio a los tumbos -aunque es esperable eso-, aunque se reciben posts nuevos. Pero el envío de contenido no parece funcionar. Por ejemplo, mi [perfil allá](https://kbin.social/u/@brunox@feddit.cl/comments) no tiene comentarios nuevos desde hace 6 días. También algunos magazines que anduve viendo no están recibiendo contenido de allá. Por ejemplo [BestOf en kbin.social](https://kbin.social/m/BestOf) cuya versión [local](https://feddit.cl/c/BestOf@kbin.social) la veo vacía, a pesar de que ha tenido contenido nuevo en las últimas horas. No sé si es un tema de esta instancia en realidad porque pueden ser temas de actualización, o siguen siendo consecuencias del hug of death que está teniendo el fediverso en estos días. Bueno, en todo caso gracias por leer.

    Hello (from Lemmy)! Now that kbin seems to be back on line and federating I figured it's time to explore their magazines and subscribe and keep growing as a community. I wanted to ask you all if you know of some tool like the [Lemmyverse explorer](https://lemmyverse.net/), where you can find magazines all around kbin instances. Thanks and see y'all around in the threadiverse!
