  people buy them for the motion sensors and the games. the tech is irrelevant. The NES was ancient tech when it came out. Most of the games on PS are too hard and/or inappropriate for children.

  Debs should work just fine on a Debian based os like pop.

  hahahahahahaha

  Downloading the .deb from the website is very hard? Not being sarcastic, hoping to understand

  It has to be specific to your distro, and your version of the distro, and compatible with any modules you’ve added. Ain’t gunna happen.

  It sounds like they’re getting ready for age verification, which will be mandated in some countries this year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it called Lemmy 🤔?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a 2020 post, Lemmy’s co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. "It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Commonwealth countries have a cabinet system of govt.

  Minsters are selected by the cabinet from members of parliament. Departments are closed, opened and altered all the time when there is a ministerial reshuffle ordered by the cabinet.

  Any minister could run this sort of operation in their department without palrliamentary approval, and the cabinet could do so for the whole govt (and frequently do).

  The US has a presidential form of govt. The presidental office is separate from the parliament. Minsters are appointed by the president and must not be members of parliament.

  But the president can’t just choose anyone - they must be members of their political party and they must be elected through a series of member elections and state executive decisions.

  The issue here is not that DOGE cannot operate under a minister, its that the president cannot order a political outsider to undertake the duties of a minister properly elected through party processes.

  BTW, no such limitaion exists in France - the French president can appoint anyone as ministerm, they don’t even need to be a French citizen or a residnet in France ! Macron attempted to do this recently but had to back down when the parliament blocked money bills.

  The 400 if you actually stepped on it it’d flip back and bark your shin, you’d fall over and put your foot through it. that’s why there’s so few today.

  I think it was Airport (not Airport 707). It was a Rank film.

  I love how spoofing it meant 95% of the dialog and story was the same. What a classic.

  Actually they changed the plot to make it less silly.

  In the original, the WW2 pilot is on the ground and is lowered into the 707 from a helicopter through the front window. This is briefly referenced in Flying High when they lower the window like in the original.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Naked Gun" & "Airplane" Director Abrahams Dies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Airplane” is called “Flying High” in Australia because the film it spoofed was an Australian film.

  Second, You could easily use a fake ID or fake identity to get a cellphone

  You don’t actually need any ID in the US to set up a phone account. You could be anyone.

  Prepaid phones don’t need an ID.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at the any post about Israel or trans.

  The number of likes is completely out of proportion to anything else. A top political post mught get 1.2k likes, a question maybe 4k, an Israel bot will get 23k, all short replies or replies repeating the original post in that section.

  A trans post would get 22k likes, and literally the day after the election they vanished, thye now get well under 500.

  With a high like count, it gets pushed up into popular and it makes their view look more popular than is actually is.
