By multiboxing, you mean running multiple instances of the same mmo client so you can control multiple characters at once? I'm curious what issues you run into doing this in Linux.

Reminder to support creators in other ways if you're going to use this.
Edit: similarly, if you can afford it kick a few bucks to your Lemmy instance. We're about freedom as in speech, not as in freeloading, people. The whole reason the internet shifted to being ad and data collection based after the dotcom bubble is because no one wants to pay for anything.
Yeah HTTPS-everwhere was important 10+ years ago, but now the main browsers all do this by default.
Sounds like NakeyJakey's take from 5y ago. Hoping they take some lessons for GTA6.
To be fair, it's not easy to make a big open world that feels immersive and competes with linear games in terms of fidelity (art, rendering, sound, music, etc), even if you know exactly where the player will go and what they'll do. Trying to then account for every possible permutation of game state and player action is an exponential explosion of work. Without some kind of AI figuring out a believable way for the game to respond in any given situation, your only practical option is to make some assumptions, pick a small set of "golden paths" and polish those.
R* devs work their asses off to an ethically questionable degree as it is, I don't think it's fair to imply they're not making the best possible experience at that scale with the technology available.
I think it could be the "digg v4" of reddit. People want to use the most popular free platform. If faced with a paywall on reddit, they'll just go somewhere else. Most likely people will go over to Threads, but maybe some will find Lemmy.
Not a woman, but I think what it comes down to is: the other person needs to immediately know what you mean when you say it without you having to explain it, or else it will be a mix of confusing/unsettling/creepy.
If they use the word "cute" a lot to describe things they like or looks they are going for, then it could be taken well. If they never use it and you don't either, then it will probably be percieved as unsettling. If they get hung up for any reason on what it means for you to call them "cute" (or any other adjective), then it's not coming across how you want.
Cool, then yeah, provided the streamer is still making money on their stream, then paying for a CDN would probably be a good solution.
Might have to try this out some time just to see how complicated it is to get working.
This is easily the most egregious example of police murder I've ever seen, my god. She's across the room with a pot of water, and out of nowhere his training tells him to perceive immediate danger and fire. Open and shut murder case, so glad a body cam was present.
if they do, I imagine they have MORE than enough money to be able to afford a CDN or S3
As long as they're continuing to run ads or getting enough "subscriptions" to maintain it. I don't think any twitch streamer, no matter how big an audience they have or how much money they have, would go live just to burn through their cash.
sadly it's the point that everyone instantly comes up with WHY folks shouldn't use Owncast.
Yeah, that's not the argument I'm making. Again, I love the idea of owncast, for all the reasons you gave in your last paragraph, but mostly just to give people the option to not be dependent on a for-profit corporation. But like with youtube, tiktok, and other video-based social platforms, they're costly to run and moderate, and thus difficult to federate. I'm just trying to understand where its practical limits are right now.
streams are just bunches of files
Are they? Very short lived files I guess? Because the delay on a twitch stream can be as low as a couple of seconds. Not sure about owncast.
At what bitrate? I'm thinking about the big streamers with tens of thousands of viewers at once, most watching in 1080+.
I'm not really familiar with the capabilities of CDNs when it comes to live streams, but that could be good enough.
I'm glad this exists, but as viewers go up, the bandwidth requirements for the streamer are just too large for one person to deal with unless they're a corporation with ad profits to pay for it.
I suspect for this to be usable at large scale it will need to be bittorrent based.
Yeah, that's fair.
