Not to mention as much as this stock fall is “a big deal” it’s just fallen to where it was back in March. And of course that March fall was also a singular moment, because before that were just back to October 2025.

So sure, they’ve lost a year of stock growth, and in a world of “line must go up” falling back a year of stock growth isn’t nothing… But it’s also far from the end of the world.

Which is all to say, Google’s fine in the long run. Day traders don’t look at the long run, so for the moment “panic”, but ultimately it’ll pass.

but where is the problem here? You are getting ports of games.

One of the questions the author asks is exactly that, are you really getting ports of games?

how many people are actually playing these AI-assisted ports? Not watching demonstrations, not congratulating their creators, but installing them, putting significant time into them and enjoying the games themselves.

The author doesn’t have an answer, but it is a question that requires further investigation.

If instead of AI we had a magical machine that gave you a bike. That’s great! You can do all sorts of things with your bike. So you hop on down to the movie theater, but the wheels fall off half way. You can’t fix the bike, so you walk home and miss the movie.

Now you’re right that any hobby project might get abandoned. But there were also generally only a few hobby projects. They had different reputations and track records.

Back to our bike example. Now we have hundreds of thousands of different bikes being printed from our magical machine. How do we pick the right one? What if all the bikes fail? What if there are a few that are good? How do we find the good ones?

The answer here might just be waiting to see how this all shakes out. Everyone has an oven at home, and everyone can make cookies. It’s great that everyone can do that. But not everyone can be a baker. Or I’m wrong. Maybe with AI everyone can be a baker. That is one of the arguments.

You look like Jim to me. Congrats, she found you!

Ok but what if you’re American and the meme still applies?

Finding communities can be confusing: There can be multiple communities about the same topic on different servers: For example: [email protected] and [email protected]

I agree that finding communities can be confusing, but I don’t think the problem is the naming.

For example on Reddit if you wanted to talk about video games you’d look at /r/gaming. However over time, since that was a “default sub”, it became a bit of a mess and instead /r/Games was the community to have real discussion about video games. But of course over time that too became a bit of a mess and /r/TrueGaming was the best place to talk about video games. In fact for a long time /r/True<topic> was a common way to find the better community.

Of course the name of a community might be confusing to an outsider. On Reddit if I’m a fan of Game of Thrones there is /r/GameOfThrones, but what if I’m looking for something a bit more meme worthy, well that’s /r/freefolk.

And that’s true even on Lemmy. What if I want Star Trek memes? Well that’s [email protected]

I think discoverability is something that can be improved. Of course at the moment so many communities are so small, so looking at all of them isn’t really much of a problem. You can usually find what you’re looking for.

Exactly! I’d be curious to see the reverse poll, asking Lemmy users “Why does nobody use Mastodon?” (and include Bluesky and Twitter in the poll.)

I use Lemmy (and in the past Reddit) because topic based conversation is what makes sense to me. Anytime I try to use Mastodon or Bluesky I lurk for a bit and then just come back here.

Because when Reddit fucks up those users will look for alternatives, like Lemmy.

In this case it’s important to highlight that Lemmy has many different front ends and apps available. Lemmy can look however you’d like it to look.
