    I have no desire to be famous in any sense of the word, or at least to not have such attached to my real life name.

    I'm a pretty big fan of niu.moe, personally. We're the friendly weeb instance.

    I, personally, would prefer to not have to install a userscript to reobtain basic functionality.

    At the bottom of the page, I added a filter for ".flac" and made it the default filter:
    https://my.mixtape.moe/psnhfn.png

    This ensures that ONLY flac files will be shown in any search.

    If you need any more help, I can be messaged on the handle tn5421 on soulseek.

    "Crucially, the “Cooler Screens” system does not use facial recognition." The difference is essentially academic at this point, considering how much other stuff they track.

    I'm also approaching mainly from a forum/web based mafia viewpoint. I have very rarely played mafia IRL, unfortunately.

    Can't say I've ever heard of the genre. I guess I can spare an hour to fix that, though. Edit: I almost forgot I had music playing despite having it on pretty loud. I guess that's the point?

    Lots of people are trying their hand at writing automation of various kinds for Mafia now, though. But yeah, some downtime is inevitable, if only to plan and plot as mafioso's should.

    I would say that's very much the point of the game and thus not a design flaw.

    Copyright protections should extend to 25 years, at the most, and even then that should be the result of petitioning for a copyright extension, not the default period. The default period should be 15 years, in my opinion. If you haven't profited in 15-25 years of having a work copyrighted, you aren't going to profit at all.

    I would recommend Pleroma over Mastodon, as it's easier to maintain and upgrade. My primary instance, niu.moe, is an anime-themed instance that is managed pretty well by our operator, @ technowix....

    Not being able to try before you buy means I buy less. Especially as far as games go, as I already have more than I can hope to play through for the next year or two; I don't necessarily need to add more to the pile without good reason and at least trying the game out, first.

    That's not even getting into the nonsense censorship that happens at the marketplace level.
