For eu users : https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust/procedures/complaints_en

However not sure how it works, if you need to be directly affected as a company of user, or if you need to be a citizen to file a complaint.

I don't have the necessary detail and information to be able to file the complaint.

If you give the detail on how it works and why it affects competition I may be able to file a complaint.

Howerver from what I saw in news the EU and US are already collaborating in an investigation against Google. Not sure if it's true, current and on what exactly.

Not sure how instances are advertised on https://join-lemmy.org/instances

However advertising new instances on a community may not be a very good plan.

The issue is in order to find your post on that community, someone would have to be subscribed on another instance, but that would mean that a new user would see that post (by some random magic because it will get 100% buried by the other content) by already being in an instance.

So why would the new user look at your post, click on the link and create an account your instance inseatd of just creating one on the instance where they got first?

For the users already with an account on an instance, i don't really know if it would really have traction. It would be like competing against the already existing instance + account switch or multi account use. (also same issue for the buried post maybe, tho if someone really wants to search for instances he could just go and look at that community).

So posting in a community may help slightly, but because it's not like a community where people subscribe for content, it may have a very limited reach.

If you don't know what a content delivery network is, here : https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/cdn/what-is-a-cdn/

A CND is very costly to run in an effective way. And because it is an intermediary server between the user and content server, the market is already pretty full. So competing with the CDN giants is practically impossible in a decentralised manner.

Because of what a CDN does (cache website elements closer to the user, protect the website against ddos...), it cannot be a cheap weak server, or it's the one which will get overwhelmed by the ddos, or even the users.

Another limiting factor is that in decentralisation, that means different companies, and so many separate plans to pay, which is just impossible for a company.

If it was decentralized, a company would have to go and pay 100 different companies (which is more expensive, du to the server costs and each companies having their own staff to may (even if it's just 1 person per company)) just to offer a quick access to the users around the world, which is just impossible.

You say that you watch movies and series. Watch them with subtitle in a language you understand well. However limiting yourself to only to this, may prevent you from learning English, as you'll maybe just read the text and don't pay too much attention to the sounds/words. Also careful with the platform you choose to watch on. Some have s* translation (amazon prime video in French. There is "context" but not always translated as expected for the wording).

This may help you for the speakers language, but not the text. Once your confortable enough to be able to understand good parts, try putting the subtitles in English. This will help you to associate sounds to written words.

And when confortable enough try removing the subtitles to see how you understand it.

When you read texts, and you get a word you don't understand, try reading the context and try understanding it that way, and translate it immediately or search it's definition.

I learned English in multiple ways :

• School (still did a big part even more for the written English)
• watching movies/series in English as described above subtitles in French, then English, then now without and understand most of it).
• plying games in English

There may also be tools to help to learn English. We had in class an app called quizlet for some time, and learned words, translations and verbs through that app (tho not only that one).

Another great way is writing and correcting. It can help a lot. However if you are correcting mistakes with other mistakes the effectiveness may not be as expected.

This would not be every way to learn English, but it may help you for your ideas.

Keep in mind that learning a language is hard and takes time. Even more if you don't have the brains of a child (easy to create connections between neurons, which helps with learning anything).

The gaming space may have changed but I'd say it's because you changed.

You brought in your decision the "worth playing". Is this game worth to buy or is this game worth my time. When you can give your time a value, you can also compare it to what you are doing and if it's worth to do that.

I tend to not really do that too much, because gaming is a hobby. If I start to compare it to what I could earn, well it doesn't give the most "value" in monetary gain or maybe knowledge gain. But that is why it is a hobby for me, not work.

On the other side, is it worth playing? What is the comparison? The price? If you like the game? For me, if I can enjoy it, and come back to it, even if it's very long (Warframe for example is the one where I have the most hours played), well it's worth playing to me.

Tho some games are very expensive for the experience they give and some are really s* recently (gollum *cough) and those are not worth playing.

And is it worth playing compared to your other games? Maybe, maybe not? If you wait you can get discounts (at least on pc), and increase the value. And play your backlog in the meantime.

I think that playing the most recent games can be enjoyable but not always the best "value". Tho I still play "newer" even if I have the backlog, which I use as a filler between releases and "patient gamers" style.

And the WiFi router has to not be configured as a bridge device. It has to be it's own DHCP provider.

Let's wait for the anti-reddit pixel art. Mods will "cheat" and remove it before it stays too long.

And maybe it will even be removed from the "public" data.

There are multiple things taken in account for the steam deck compatibility.

One of the issues, can be the very small display. In some cases the game may display small text or require a mouse for some menus, and it will be partially compatible, but in other cases it may be unplayable, or only playable with a mouse.

It can be interesting for Linux desktop users. There also is ~~prodondb~~ protondb which can help too.

I recently found Liftoff on android from the posts on Lemmy, and I like some of the features (in addition to the common text features) :

• the ability to have multiple accounts views at the same time.
• being able to add instances without accounts just to get the all/local content from them.
• nice design.

However I find it is also lacking :

• there are inconsistencies between how comments and posts are managed in the notification/account view (to open a comment I need to click on the "link" 🔗 button, but to open a post I can just click on it)
• it doesn't yet have verified links like Jerboa, so when something puts and https instead of ! Link to a community/post, it always opens in a browser.
• I would also like to be able to have a setting where it is a "always ask what account to use" for subscriptions. If I found an interesting community on my alt account, I would want to subscribe to it with my main.
