  • Received a share.google link and checked what it did: It redirects to something with URL format "https://www.google.com/share.google?q=SOME_CODE", which is a normal page that IS the target as far as curl and such tools are concerned but redirects on the browser probably using Javascript, so it will not redirect it with our normal tools. It will need custom code or Javascript execution. So, they knew what they were doing and used their powers for evil, as they usually do now.

  • I was hoping for a self-hosted resource, not a remote API, since this is the Selfhosted community

  • It is not enough for the increasingly common share.google links for example, and i bet there's more like this

  • 100% chances that it was some shitty hedge fund VC that will squeeze the place for money ruining it utterly

    Edit: From a comment elsewhere:

    People on Restera did some digging: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nexus-mods-site-has-been-sold.1219452/post-141554013 Site of the company itself: https://wearechosen.io/ Here is a monetization "cheat sheet" that the CEO posted on LinkedIn which is linked on Chosen's main page if you scroll down: https://i.imgur.com/ztjS4K7.jpeg In the CEO's LinkedIn profile it says this: Working closely with teams at NexusMods and beyond to build meaningful, sustainable experiences If I had to guess the acquisition details are under some sort of NDA right now

  • Oh yeah, that history search is absolute garbage and has been so for a few years now, it's sometimes easier to do a normal YT search, i've been tempted many times to do a periodic Takeout and use the result to do a proper local search, but honestly feels like too much work for the purpose

  • For those of us who have never played any of them, is it suggested you go through 1 and 2 first? Is there a recommended play order? Or just "Jump into 3 and forget about it"?

  • As someone who hasn't used any of the advanced Discord features (audio/video/streaming), and neither has really tried Revolt, how far along is it these days? I heard it was aiming for 100% feature parity but was behind in those advanced ones, but that was some years ago and haven't kept up, it would be very good if it was at least at "acceptable" level in all those by the time Discord goes IPO

  • First i hear of this one, interesting, how far along is it?

  • Never say never, once Discord goes IPO and the enshittification goes bad enough to annoy gamers Discord is fucked, and Revolt is a drop-in replacement, the fact that it can be self-hosted will also be a plus for some people, mass migrations are rare but they DO happen

  • MANY apps currently have these unneeded tracker parameters, here's Youtube

  • I suggest you subscribe to Cory Doctorow's and Ed Zitron's mailing lists, those are two people that regularly write about those people and what are they up to

  • Thing is, a well configured Linux system will just work, and continue to work for the foreseeable future. You have zero guarantee of this with Windows.

    After being in tech for like 30 years, i'd say that every OS sucks, but the way they suck and the intensity of said sucking is very much not the same across them. Linux VERY MUCH has issues, yes, but most of the time they're in your power to diagnose and fix, in Windows the main troubleshooting advice has remained mostly the same across decades, the 3 R's, Reboot, Reinstall, Reformat, because many times you just don't know and CANNOT know what went wrong.

  • If there was an updated version these days i'd be fully inclined to run it, haven't followed the project in more than a decade though

  • I remember the Slackware dozens of floppies install, things have gotten stupidly easy with time

  • I've seen this one at this level of discount more than once before, and every time I've refused because it requires not only for you to have an EA account, it requires to have the Origin client always running in the background. For no good reason.
