What is their monetisation plan? Currently they don't seem to have anything other than donations?
It's refering to a defunct games company: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bullfrog_Productions_games
I'm conflicted.
it should make the team competition clearer at the back of the field, and maybe increase the on track competition a little further back.
But if that's the goal, why not just give points back to 20th? We already extended it from either 6th or 8th didn't we? The only problem with that would be damaged cars continuing way off the pace to pick up the free point(s).
You could put a limit where the points stop if your more than 2 laps behind? But then max would lap the field twice down to 5th or something 😆
the link to the wikipedia page with the audio clip really helped, made no sense without that.
I guess the 'simple' way of doing this would be adding tags to communities like 'art' 'hobbies' 'sport' 'football' etc. This might then let the app suggest others based on the tags you are subscribed to.
It would probably still require some AI/analytics to work out the links based on user activity in different communities/tags but I think it would make it easier to group interests and promote smaller communities.
It could also improve Lemmy visibility in Masterdon if the tags are used as hashtags or something. (Would require more work)
Edit: sorry, app didn't show the entire image by default, they DO list exactly what was lost, not a bad email tbh (although better if they didn't lose it)
Isn't it saying that they didn't have those bits so couldn't loose them?
It would have been more useful (but look worse for them!) If they just listed what was lost....
This is why I thought some of their recent actions that hurt the lowest played artists was strange, you want to encourage artists to NOT use the big publishers to help break their triopoly.
I think the most recent changes are fine in practice, but the optics are not great which probably matters a lot.
Does anyone else think the water just looks... Strange? I think their wave texture is just too large? Needs to be more smaller waves.
It wasn't clear in the article - how much notice did the customers get?
I did quote owned in that comment.
Legally I think you own the book, but not it's contents? So legally it would be the same? (The content is copyrighted so you can't reproduce it etc)
The real difference is in usage, with a book, even an ebook, if you have it you effectively own it. They can't stop you reading it.
Unfortunately with games nowerdays everything checks in with servers or is online only, so if the publisher or distributor say so, you lose access. The only way round that is cracked copies or DRM free games like on GoG.
If your going to bash him, don't do it for him playing computer games.
....there are plenty of proper reasons!
It's not X turning into Y when it comes to evolution. There were all kinds of different dinosaurs, that evolved I to all kinds of different niches. Most of those then went extinct due to rocks falling from the sky, or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.
So it's not that a T-Rex turned into a chicken, it's that T-Rexs lived alongside other dinosaurs that developed feathers and filled more niches etc. those that survived eventually became birds. (Have you ever seen an Emu up close?!? No wonder the Australians lost to them 🤣)
Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge. Also, remember this happened over (~~billions?~~ hundreds of millions) of years.
Other comments about just not noticing feathers are valid too.
