50 Years of Gaming History, by Revenue Stream (1970-2020)
  • I’ve heard many times that mobile gaming is such a large part of the gaming industry. And I just don’t get it. Who is gaming on their phone, what are they playing and why are they spending so much?

  • Någon med erfarenhet av... kontorsstolar?
  • Jag har också en begagnad Aeron, men även en Mirra (en billigare HM). Båda är väldigt bra men ryggstödet på Mirra är fantastiskt. Det är gjort så att det kan ”vridas” så det liksom följer med när man rör sig. Med det sagt så har ryggstödet en tendens att spricka så det håller inte i evighet.

  • Ryan's Letter
  • This is obviously fake. Not the tone of a corporate letter, an unexpected negative sentiment, not a single shred of evidence that it is real besides an anonymous twitter account.

    edit: now apparently it's confirmed. I'll be damned.

  • [meme] Why do people only seem to mean cars when they talk about electric and/or autonomous vehicles?
  • It makes sense to have requirements on maximum size, weight and speed to go in the bike lane. But having rules about the design or operation of the vehicle is just unnecessary bureaucracy. In the Netherlands you can't even ride an electric skateboard.

  • if someone can get me the chart up to thos point I can restart lowest volume chart
  • Here are the 12 lowest volume days in the last 5 years.

    There are 12 rows because this list includes half-days that are excluded on the reddit list. Specifically, edgar510 doesn't include the two crossed out days which I believe are thanksgiving and july 4th-related half days. See NYSE holidays and trading hours.

    The data is from yahoo finance and dates are in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD).

    Here is the python script that produced the list. It uses yfinance.

    #!/usr/bin/env python3
    import yfinance
    print(yfinance.download("GME", period="5y")[['Volume']].sort_values('Volume', ascending=True).head(12))

  • The censorship state of reddit and subreddits - Part 1
  • It's good to spread out. It's easier to avoid (and detect) censorship on a more open platform like lemmy. I certainly don't miss having to redact users and subs. But another side is propaganda and there I don't think we have an advantage over reddit. A third consideration is sabotage, where a small privately run server is a lot more vulnerable than a big company.

    Hello

    Reddit refugee here. I've been testing lemmy for a few weeks (still waiting for a nice ios client) but I had no idea this instance existed until today.

    Would digital signatures be a useful feature in lemmy?

    One of the things I'm cautious about when it comes to lemmy (and mastodon) is how easy it can be to lose control of your account.

    For example, a server could shut down unexpectedly making hundreds of people lose their accounts. Or, a malicious administrator could take over a popular account to post scams or propaganda. I am not aware of these things having happened, but I don't think they're too far fetched.

    Self-hosting a lemmy server solves some of these problems, but that takes a bit of time, effort and money.

    I was thinking about email encryption, specifically the digital signature part. Could something like that be used in lemmy? So that if someone decides to "trust" me, they will be able to trust that it's me no matter which account I post from. They would be able to spot an impostor who had gained access to my account.

    What do you think?
