The problem with immortality is the damaging century long conservatism of society it would cause. Imagine a few rich immortals in charge of everything forever. Some scientists joke that "science progresses one funeral at a time". Well imagine a society where the arts, sciences and the economy never change.

I'm sympathetic to your idea of calling it OSS or Open Software. But Richard Stallman and people who agree with his arguments really stress the "freedom" of what they call free software. They lost that battle ages ago, but they aren't going to give it up since it's more than just pedantry, it's a value statement.
I enjoyed the original too. Not sure what it had to do with the new one though. The tone and gameplay were totally different.
I hated Prey 2017. Everyone raves about it, but the storyline was very predictable and cliche and the combat was just atrocious.
Same here! Lame story and the combat felt terrible.
I loved seeing those IAMAs too. Schwarzenegger, Obama, NASA scientists and Woody Harrelson (can we talk about Rampart?)! Unfortunately I think the web is worse now, far too much focus on monetization, bots, propaganda> and astroturfing.
I'm hoping that Lemmy flies under the radar in the sweet spot of enough subscribers but not too many.
Seeing your post my first thought was that multi-image albums always worked on old.Reddit. But actually I was thinking of a Reddit Enhancement Suite feature. Which is another open-source toolkit that was provided by the community to Reddit.
Happy to see that the Open Source came up with something top-to-bottom like Lemmy and the Fediverse!
Amazing resource! Thanks for sharing.
