  • I played both and found Botw boring. Huge areas were nothing was happening, but they looked nice. Except the divine beasts, they were boring as hell, gameplay wise and optical. For this they got rid of cool dungeons? The challenge shrines repeated often and were not really interesting at all. And the weapons broke permanently. After a short while I simply rushed through this game. I can see the love poured into this game but the gameplay was just soon boring to me.

    Then came Totk. I was sceptical at first, but then came the building of stuff. Suddenly it was okay when weapons broke, because you could try other interesting things with them. Dungeons were back. The challenge shrine were mostly puzzles for the build mechanic. The whole freaking world was filled with build puzzles where I could get lost in shenanigans. So they basically addressed most issues I had with the first game and as a result I liked it more.

    Storywise I would place them both in the category “about okay”.







  • What benefits does RSS have over normal news sites?

    Main benefit is that you don’t have to visit websites to get the news. And once the news are on your client it is up to you to decide how to work with it. Filter ads from articles, or remove all articles with the word “orange” from your feed, let an AI add a summary at the top, automatically fetch the full version of the text (if it isn’t already). RSS means you are in control of what and how you consume.

    Are they more privacy-focused?

    That depends on your client and configuration. Do you block/filter ads? Do you proxy images? Do you proxy the requests to the rss file?

    What feeds would you recommend for a fellow Lemmy user?

    This very drastically depends on the user. I have web comics, releases from GitHub, news, porn, tech/cooking/gaming blogs, general News, shopping alerts, my selfhosted change detection, YouTube feeds and more in there.









  • First: IANAL, EU law is complicated. This is my understanding as of now:

    TL;DR: The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to enhance cybersecurity standards for products with digital elements. It introduces mandatory requirements for manufacturers and retailers to ensure cybersecurity throughout a product’s lifecycle. The CRA excludes open-source software developers unless their software is used commercially as part of a “product with digital elements”.

    would lemmy be regulated by CRA?

    Lemmy, as an open-source project, would likely not be directly regulated by the CRA. The Act specifically excludes open-source developers from its scope unless their software is used commercially.

    Whaz about lemmy instances?

    Lemmy instances might be regulated by the CRA if they are operated commercially as part of a “product with digital Elements”. (Is there a pay for access instance or hosting as a service for lemmy? I am not aware of one.) However, since most instances are run non-commercially or for personal use, they would likely fall outside the CRA’s scope.

    Is there a difference if there is a fee or a recurrent donations?

    Yes:

    • A fee is typically a mandatory payment for a service or product, e.g. a feature locked behind a paywall.
    • A recurring donation is a voluntary, regular contribution to support an organization or cause, often without receiving goods or services in return.

    The key distinction lies in the obligation attached to the payment. Fees come with an expectation of receiving something in return, while donations are given freely without such expectations.
