  You can run more than one OS with secure boot enabled. It’s just a pain in the ass.

  Weird, for me it was just flicking the switch in UEFI and now Grub and trough it Windows 10 and Fedora 43 boot in Secure Boot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Secure Boot isn’t Tivoization because you can enroll your own keys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Metro Exodus. Opening up the map was a mistake. The linear levels were fine, that gives you tight pacing and you always know what’s next. The confined underground spaces were part of the soul of that series. I only played maybe 8 hours of Exodus and can’t be bothered to play more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, Fable III was a brutal step back. You couldn’t even equip clothing pieces individually anymore, and the whole “you’re king now, better collect enough money in time” sucked too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Up to the third comma, yes, but all the rest seems to go beyond that pretty arbitrarily.

  When they say anything that “may damage the goodwill of the corporation”, and qualify that with “in the sole discretion of the Corporation” that just means “anything we don’t want to be associated with, and we will be the judge of that”.

  That’s what makes it so vague, how is a Merchant or an Acquirer supposed to know what Mastercard might find damaging to the goodwill? They have to guess, or use trial and error*. Most will just err on the side of caution, which means customers get blocked from even more purchases, just to be safe.

  * Or talk to Mastercard, which Valve apparently tried, but they wouldn’t respond.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Brilliant, just make your rules vague and force everyone else down the chain to self-censor. Surely this will result in the best outcome.

  Fucking mastercard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Clever! So the first drone simply brings a self disassembly kit, a handsaw and some tourniquets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is unaware he's at risk for a heart attack⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good title, when the twist came it gave me a secondary chuckle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The article says that one drone was shot down and one crashed under the weight of the ebike.

  A soldier will be significantly heavier than an ebike. And you can risk them being shot down less than just the bike

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s either exactly the same, or it’s gracefully degraded. You’re asking for two opposite things at once.

  For what it’s worth I support the notion that fundamental functionality should be supported without Javascript, with good old form submissions.

  But I also recognise that you can’t get the exact same behaviour without javascript initiated background GETs and POSTs. Easy example: A scrollable map that streams in chunks as you move it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  OP really muddled the waters by writing:

  exactly as it does with javascript turned on

  That’s obviously impossible and wouldn’t be degraded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crypto investment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1,000 x 365,000 = 1,000,000 every three years or so

  Something is amiss there. Your years seem about a thousand times too long

  If I had to guess the omptimum would be around 26. Not too much younger, and looks not too much older. Good luck haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Select language” is to mark the language you are using in your posts and comments. Don’t know for what, maybe for others to filter stuff out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W.XP⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Has not happened yet. I keep a copy around in a VM for old games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let people enjoy things 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that makes sense too. Sure a drunk cyclist is less of a problem than a drunk motor vehicle operator.

  But as the third party you still don’t want 100 kg (200 pounds) of dude and aluminium frame running into you at 20 km/h (12.4 mph), if you are a pedestrian, a second cyclist, or a biker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let people enjoy things 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes. Did he make through?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, which is why everyone of even mild intelligence knows to check the results

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The argument is utterly stupid.

  Ignoring that the it’s building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duke University lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies and signal transduction⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whoever came up with that stupid word filter and decided to follow through on it without proper human review that the filter matched what they meant to find, is pretty trans-intelligent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The company has not released information on whether, or how long, it has spent mapping out or testing the driverless technology on Austin’s streets.

  That’s being too nice, the CEO is clearly proud of not mapping cities, as seen in the tweets. The journalist should call it out explicitly. “They are probably not mapping as suggested by the CEO’s public posts.” That’s not too much of a leap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays cyberpunk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In that case you can play Witcher 3 instead, I’ll allow it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon turns on raytracing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Subsurface scattering is not one of the things you get automatically with ray tracing. If you just bounce they rays off objects as the usual first step you don’t get any light penetration into the object, so none of that depth.

  Maybe you meant ambient occlusion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Friend of mine had the same scenario in high school. The only one who knew was the twin sister of the girlfriend. The rest of the family would never have accepted a non-muslim. It’s probably the only way to do this until she’s an adult and can tell them to fuck off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s much easier to just substract 2 from 2000, “IIMM” duh!

  For anyone wondering why this is wrong, there are two reasons:

  1. The roman numeral system only traditionally contains subtractions from the next higher five- and tenfold symbol. So you can subtract I from V and X, X from L and C, C from D and M

  2. The subtractions only generally allowed one symbol to be subtracted, with a few notable exceptions like XIIX for 18 and XXIIX for 28

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given 4/6 x > 5/6 y therefore x > 5/4 y

  Marty’s Pizza must have been more than a quarter larger than Luis’. The kid is exactly right. And the teacher is not flexible enough to engage outside their expectations for how the question was supposed to be answered.
