Discussing military operations via a 3rd party channel is incredible wrong and stupid, nothing less

Added leaderboards per levels also, now people can compete for the fastest time per level via GameCenter :blobcatgamer:
Like always, only the fastest time will be ranked 🏆
I am still the only one on the boards so I could really use some test players :blobblush:

But like with CNN etc, the readers often put so much uh.. "random stuff" in between that I'm sure i cannot be from a prompt

- reply

I gotta say, this is particularly extreme with US news channels, it's either right or left but almost no "plain news reporting"
Ofc "plain news reporting" isn't really a thing anymore since it now has to fall on on of either sides depending on how it's written or told I guess
It's just super exhausting to need to read the news like heavy literature

2025-01-11 14:21:28

Since when did news anchors become experts in anything :blobderpverified:
I thought their job was to read the news from a prompt instead of speculating and sharing their opinions but I guess I was wrong
And they keep wondering why young people don't bother with the "news" anymore :neocat_science:

We really tried and gave them very much the benefit of the doubt to begin with
Unfortunately they threw it all away with that one change so all we can do now is act I guess

2025-01-08 17:40:25

- reply

Some people may wonder why it's now and not before and I would like to try and explain as good as I can
We are a relative large instance in the Fediverse so that comes with a lot of responsibility in making decisions. One of our main goals is safety but we also want to be open and connective until a certain point
Threads promised to be different and we always kept it with a grain of salt but did let the people decide if they wanted to block or not
The new policy is just far over the fine line

2025-01-08 17:28:07

- reply

I understand it's rough to lose accounts you follow from Threads but unfortunately it is not worth the risk
Hopefully people on Threads will realize the true origin of the company running their platform and will make the decision to join us here in the Fediverse ❤️ :fediverse:
I really really tried making this work but I cannot go any further
Mark Zuckerberg is a person I cannot and will not with with in any way. Sorry not sorry

2025-01-08 17:24:02

After close consideration we have come to the decision to block Threads.net instance wide on all related instances
(mstdn.social, masto.ai, mastodon.coffee, pixey.org, gram.social)
The new Meta policy goes against much we stand for and we will not allow to let it spill over to the Fediverse
I just checked the numbers and it seems Threads is the biggest 'loser' here
On all instances combined we lose just under 100 followers spread across all instances
Threads will lose over 13K total

The apartment below us is now available for rent again and guess what
The price has more then doubled since the previous people past away a few months ago
It goes now for €720 per month for 3 rooms and a small garden
People don't stand a chance with the price rise but lacking salaries

Currently there is a bug with the ‘destroy item’ objective that causes the impact effect never to despawn, so the explosion will last until reload
Not a huge deal but I’m working on a quick fix for that 👌🏻

A little question for #iOS / #Apple devs:
Today I got my dev acc changed from individual to business. The name also shows up on the certs etc
But when I export builds to TestFlight the developers name still is my personal
Does this change automatically or is this something specific? I’ve seen test builds with a company name as developer so it should be possible
Also my company still says: “Pending (New Legal Entity)” on the Apple dev portal. Maybe a little more time?

I got advise from people to add in-app purchases like skins and other items but I strongly refuse that!
These days it's a major issue how many kids spend endless amounts of money on apps on phones! :amaze:
I won't contribute to that issue..
So one way to "advertise" this model would be:
One-time 99 cents payment and a garantuee your kid won't spend a dime more"

2024-08-30 12:54:46

Thats what i ment indeed 😉
One-time app buy and thats it! free updates etc

2024-08-30 12:49:41

I wonder what I should do with the pricing of my upcoming cat game for mobile 🤔
The game won't have any in-app purchase, ads or links not will I add this in the future
Would it be okay if I charge 99 cents one time for that game when released?
Giving things away free is more my thing but it would be very nice if server costs could also be paid with app sales..

These days the internet is filled with so called "money guru's" showing off their wealth on social media and trying to teach you how to become rich
But one major issue with that is..
WHY would they wanna do that. IF they are rich from forex trading or whatever, why in the world would they wanna spread the word
They are making money on people who buy their "courses" to become rich, not from trading
Please, don't fall for this bs!
You are worth so much more :cat_hug_triangle:

The recent game published by Sony, 'Concord' had an estimated 100M budget but at the it's peak only about 700 players on desktop where playing with current number under 200 world wide
This is not counting the PS network but it can't be much higher with that included
Kinda insane companies take such loses and not even blink

RFK Jr. is that weird grandpa no one wants to hang out with
With many good reasons though!
He's more buggy then pre-alpha software..
