No thanks, I prefer various flavoured sugars to move my suffering to the future

I like the story, and I like the afterlife it implies. Where everyone gets to be the god of something after they died.

Although that will lead to millions of gods, so maybe it's best not to think too much about that.

The game is more interactive movie/visual novel(?) than game, sort of like "Life is strange" or "To the moon". So a litter box mode sadly doesn't make sense

I agree that everyone should own their account, but I don't think there is a feasible way of defending against server admins.

This would be like trying to defend against your hardware manufacturer or against Microsoft on a Windows PC.

And even if the signing is somehow safely implemented, you run into an entirely different set of problems.

Who checks the certificate? All federated instance servers? Then how do they verify that they can trust that certificate? You can't set a certificate in the user profile, since this can be overwritten by admins.

You could have an external service that links certificates and user accounts, but now you need to trust those admins, too.

Should users check it themselves? Do you really care, if this comment and the previous one were both written by the same person? Of course, if you and I both know each other, we could exchange certificates and verify them manually. But at that point I might as well give you my E-Mail, Discord, different instance Username, Facebook profile, whatever and I can simply tell you that the admins of my instance started acting malicious.

Think about it this way: If you don't trust you E-Mail Provider, why would you sign up on that server? You're trusting the admins there too, and E-Mail content is a lot more sensitive than a few public messages.

This sounds like it's unreasonably hard to implement for only marginal gain.

There is no good way you could safely handle the certificate key in your browser, as it executes JavaScript code from the instance. If you're giving your certificate key to that code to sign the message, you have to trust that code, or review it, every time you browser downloads it.

It would work with apps, as you only have to trust the app distributor, but the number of certificates and app users is even smaller.

If you're worried about malicious admins, then you should leave the instance too, and it'll most likely also get defederated by most instances very quickly. If you think your instance admins are planning on becoming malicious in the future, you should switch instances asap.

If you want to protect against third parties gaining access to your account, two factor authentication is a much cleaner way to prevent unauthorized users from abusing your account, by preventing them from gaining access.

If you're worried about an instance going down and people not recognizing you, you can create an additional account on a different instance in advance, or, since only a handful of people will care that you're still the same person, you can give them some other way of communicating.

And, if you think about it, most of the Reddit refugees lost their accounts in the migration too, so even if Lemmy was a single large instance/company, your account is always at risk.

Most likely, instances won't shut down immediately, but have some date set, during which you can migrate/download what you need to.

You're welcome! If you need me to test something specific, ask away :)

I've written this up assuming you didn't already have a PS5 (I didn't check):

I've done some quick tests with mine and here's the result:

You can start the PS5 by inserting a disc, or by pressing the PS Button on a controller/the remote. (You could also press the power button, but I never use that)

If you start the PS5 with the remote, the media tab of the menu will be open after account/profile selection.

If you start the PS5 using the disc, the last open application will be selected. Even if you connect the remote once prompted.

If a disc is inserted, while in the main menu, the disc will be highlighted, once it's read, if the focus/cursor is in the apps/games row. (You're not looking at news from a game or smth)

Otherwise, during playback, the remote is a controller which is missing some buttons and the joysticks. If you've got a friend with a PS5, I'd suggest figuring out the corresponding buttons on a controller and try to watch something using only those buttons and see if you miss some functionality.
