I can only seem to find this article coming out of News Corp outlets or Murdoch affiliated outlets. Let me know when someone reputable reports on this.

Welcome to the "90% of web browsers are Chrome, so let's just optimise for Chrome" issue with the internet. Probably doesn't help that Edge and about a kajillion different browsers are also just Chrome/Chromium.

Solution? Get the web to stop relying so much on Chrome and Google. It's just that easy!

Good to see nothing has changed from the days of the original Switch port of the first game. The one with trees that ran at such a low LOD that they just floated. The one that often ran at 180p. The one that they had to contract an outside dev just to remake it competently.

Make sure that splitter is specifically marked as a powered HDCP 1.3 splitter, the exploit was patched in 1.4.

A lot of EV auto makers have been arguing that the frequencies that some of the electrics in the cars run at interfere with AM radio reception.

Not sure if that's a legitimate argument or they just don't want to pay for extra shielding to block out the noise.

It's reduce, reuse, then recycle for a reason.

You're kissing girls, aren't you?

Event planning platforms are never going to compete with massive social communication platforms, they're entirely different ends of the stick.

As long as Mobilizon continues to work, that's all I ask for.

Embracer has really been a mess. Buying everyone up in the hopes the Saudis were definitely going to be on board with funding them probably didn't help.

Just chucking everyone in a "Thing and friends" team probably isn't helping matters either. Surely someone from the many dozens of development teams they have could have thought of better names.

The Germans have been making jank fantasy games for years. They're just only on PC and nobody plays them.

Nice to see a new flagship with a MicroSD slot and a headphone jack. Also, Sony have a good track record with opening up their Android phones.

But yeah, shame about the price.

I've been a Posteo customer for a few years and they've been great. €1 a month, mail storage encryption, works great with any IMAP client.

As good as the intentions of Tutanota and Proton are with free plans, the likes of Gmail have taught me to be very wary of free plans of anything.

4K Blu Rays encoded in H265 are usually on 100gb discs, so I can see where they're coming from

There already exist plugins for Peertube that allow cryptocurrency integration.

Setting up a Ko-fi is still the best option to get monetisation going on Fedi.

It would be nice to see a few more distro options for GPD's machines, especially considering Ubuntu MATE is the only real option for ones like the Win 2. Anything else is a pain to install due to all the weird hardware they use.

We've got DVDFab bots here on Lemmy now?

I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn't performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn't meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.

I really do hope things improve. I'm planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I'm hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.

They're Ryzen processors with "AI" accelerators, so an LLM can definitely run on hardware on one of those. Other options are available, like lower powered ARM chipsets (RK3588-based boards) with accelerators that might have half the performance but are far cheaper to run, should be enough for a basic LLM.

Skull and Bones is already a AAAA according to Ubisoft, so we're already part of the way there.

Finally, a new strand-type game.

SEK have done a ton of animation work for foreign firms. This is probably the only way they're getting outsourcing work done now since all of the sanctions were put in place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEK_Studio

He joined Universodon during one of the Twitter exoduses a couple years back. Elvira also joined Universodon without knowing it was a space themed instance. Not sure if she's still there.

Who knows, some of them could have grown up to be Hamas fighters. Can't be too careful when you want to clear out and pave over the Gaza strip.

I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It's a nice idea but really isn't very good in practice.

Mastodon and Misskey are both getting a little overstuffed. Neither are particularly nimble, with Masto moving to further "professionalise" itself and Misskey (forks included) having way too much stuff on offer in terms of features.

Regarding clients, Kaiteki seems to be the best Misskey client I've found on mobile. The native PWA was an absolute pain the last time I used Misskey. The anime issue with it probably stems from it's Japanese origin and most big instances seen as refuges for artists banned off Twitter.

I've personally switched to GoToSocial, which seems to fill all the Mastodon-shaped holes without gulping down resources.

I used to pay for Deezer used and a variety of downloaders to download FLACs from them, but then they seemed to break that at some point and a ton of metadata was borked. Also, some artists who were on a bunch of different labels only ever had stuff from just one label on there, which meant a trip to the torrent sites/Soulseek anyway.

I just gave up and went back to Soulseek and RuTracker for my music after a while.

I run AntiX on my EeePC 701, the original with a 630mhz Celeron. Runs a treat.

Does he have much experience with computers? Not sure if it'd be easier to set him up with something like ChimeraOS that just runs Steam and the game or a basic desktop environment so he can write stuff and browse the internet.

In the aged care home I work in, we've had a few who can work a smart phone but most can barely work their TV. Being into RC planes might work in his favour.

The Saturn was bleeding them dry outside of Japan. They would have either died supporting the Saturn or trying to keep the Dreamcast relevant during the run of the PS2.

Sony was a force to be reckoned with and Sega just didn't have the funds nor the presence to compete with them.

Lemmy belongs to the left

Kojima wanted out of the franchise after Solid 2 and pretty much every subsequent game since.

Konami are asses to work for and Kojima kept pushing the envelope for what they'd let him do for every game he made with them. MGS5 was where they drew the line in terms of scope and budget (MGS4 cost like $40m to make and god knows what MGS5 would have cost by the end of it) and aside from the fact that he didn't get to finish it, he was probably more relieved than anything to be free of them.

At least Konami makes a decent slot/pokie machine nowadays. They give Aristocrat a run for their money.

Most of my family here in Australia use iPhones, and by extension, iMessage. Granted, they also use FB Messenger, Snapchat and all the rest, but mainly iMessage. It's the default and it works for them.

I can assure you that this is not a thing exclusive to the US.

Free Game: Epic Store

"B-but our dollar is supposed to be the baseline, it's supposed to be the one people compare with. They can't do this to us!!!"

Just Cause 2 was their big hit, so they kept trying to make Just Cause 2 again with every subsequent game, Just Cause or otherwise.

Lightening doesn't strike twice.

The computer should only be for education, high morals, and bettering our humanity. Not for pornography and not for exploiting women.

Mastodon is powered by sex toy companies, essay taking services and online casinos. Doesn't seem that out of place to me.

EDIT: For all the down voters, please peep the Mastodon sponsor list: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors#supported_by. Website boy doesn't get off any more scot-free than anyone else.

T.S is also based on Mastodon and got caught using their code without attribution. That was the joke.

Also, obligatory death to america
