- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 days ago:
This isn’t a “we’ll sue you” clause, it’s a “we’ll never do business with you again” clause
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 5 weeks ago:
“cup” is a unit of measure like a foot. It measures volume and it is approx equal to 236 ml.
There also exist metric cups with a round 250 ml, supposedly for easier adoption of the metric system.
- Comment on How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia. 5 weeks ago:
Also keep in mind that a country that doesn’t have such a treaty is largely free to extradite someone to the US anyway, as a one-off. So really the list is even shorter.
- Comment on Bypassing Denuvo in Hogwarts Legacy 1 month ago:
I think this is by design and that only a unhinged person would have the patience to crack denuvo. Either that or it does that to your brain, which would truly be the greatest DRM on earth.
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 1 month ago:
Armchair therapist much? To me the examples given in the post specifically aren’t about success, they’re about the things people that do not directly count as success but that do require you to devote at least part of your life to it.

- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 1 month ago:
…did they think people wanted bad d&d games? Of course people want great games of their favorite hobby, what does this even mean
- Comment on Can Lemmy instances make content of their sub-Lemmys indexable by search engines? 3 months ago:
Semantic html is largely ignored by search engines. If you’re talking about the tag, it does not syndicate, at least on Google.
If you’re talking about iframes, Lemmy does not use them. The content appears as though your home instance hosts it (hence why images need to be moderated off-instance so badly).
- Comment on Can Lemmy instances make content of their sub-Lemmys indexable by search engines? 3 months ago:
I mean, do they? Do the search engines do that? I don’t know that they do. They could, but why spend the time making that?
- Comment on Can Lemmy instances make content of their sub-Lemmys indexable by search engines? 4 months ago:
Since communities are viewable by anyone without an account, including search engine crawlers, this is the case by default. It is then up to search engines to crawl them and rank the appropriately.
A major problem right now is that search engines down rank massively pages with duplicate content, and that’s the case with most Lemmy instances because of federation. If the fediverse ever becomes large enough to matter, they will maybe change that, but currently finding things on the fediverse is not exactly a good time.
- Comment on MSI Claw Compared To Steam Deck & ROG Ally 4 months ago:
The steam deck can drain that fast (for example when I played H:zd I basically had to be plugged in the whole time) but I doubt you’d even hit the same performance per watt with an Intel part. You’re essentially paying 20% more for a worse product, and I’m not even gonna get into MSI support, especially given how nice valve support is.
- Comment on I Wonder What Star Citizen Is Up To - Aftermath 4 months ago:
Yes (since the latest DLC), yes (the thargoids mystery), and yes (carriers have been here for a few years).
Of course it’s not exactly what you would get in SC because they’re ultimately different games. But you do have all of that and more, E:D has massively improved since it came out.
- Comment on I Wonder What Star Citizen Is Up To - Aftermath 4 months ago:
Reminder that Elite:Dangerous is a game that has all that star citizen has ever promised, today. You can get it on steam.
- Comment on Another great advert from Threads. Not really looking like my kind of place. 4 months ago:
“it’s okay to be white” was crafted by 4chan as a “triggering the libs” phrase. The entire point is to be fully racist and rally under the phrase so that the people calling you racist for genuine reasons appear to be saying that it is not in fact ok to be white. Anyone saying this phrase is a white supremacist trying to trip you into “agreeing” with them that a white genocide exists and is happening, and to convince bystanders (youtube teens at the beginning of the alt-right pipeline) that the left is against white people, ergo if you’re white you should become a Nazi.
I know this because it happened to me. “It’s ok to be white” is prime ben shapiron owns feminists with facts and logic video material.

Both. X has trouble with launching steam VR and Wayland tries displaying to the headset like its a real screen.

To be entirely honest SteamVR has never worked for me on Linux and this is the first time it has launched at all.

And we’re not talking sober of mild drugs either. I fully believe this man did pretty much all drugs at least once.

He only applies sunscreen in the shape of a v-neck to throw you off the track
- Comment on Having trouble deciding what game to play next . which one of these games should i try 7 months ago:
titanfall is god tier, others have covered that.
horizon zero dawn i finished recently on my steam deck while travelling, it’s great and you basically can pause at any time except in cutscenes, which is a bit annoying when something comes up during important story points.
bioshock i guess is not really my cup of tea, but i didn’t find that i was able to put it down and pick it back up. the game overall is quite slow, and all the branching paths means you can easily waste a lot of time.
- Comment on Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos? 7 months ago:
music is different. youtube has a deal with your label which states they pay $0.0000x dollars per stream, and your label gives you a part of that.
- Comment on Germany refuses to extradite man to UK over concerns about British jail conditions 8 months ago:
Most countries prisons are not in a good state. Germany is playing hardball here because its funny, but I’d wager German prison aren’t really that much better.
The basic reason is that most people don’t feel like their country should spend more on convicted criminals than they already do, so running on “I’m going to build better prisons” isn’t really a thing that gets you votes.
- Comment on Nord VPN tv commercials are incredibly misleading 8 months ago:
Yes, I’m aware. IP addresses are come colocated to hell and back, and every site uses https. I’m sure your ISP is getting some real interesting data watching you visit the same 4 sites.
- Comment on Nord VPN tv commercials are incredibly misleading 8 months ago:
…they can’t really? Only the domain name is visible to the ISP, and criminals are either stopped by https or won’t care about a VPN.
- Comment on I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Windows, is in fact, GNU/Windows, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Windows. 8 months ago:
In January of last year MS put out a kb that would repeatedly reboot your machine if it was an active directory controller, or if it was a hyper-v host it would refuse to turn on VMs, if you were running 2012 R2.
Not only this is bullshot for a production os (like this is 5 minutes of testing, come on), it took them several months to put out a corrective KB. In the mean time, all you could do was not install it and try to uninstall it on hosts that would reboot repeatedly. It’s windows server so it doesn’t nag you for updates but still.
- Comment on How are slavery reparations fair? 8 months ago:
I mean that, and also the fact that countries that were plundered for slaves basically lost on a lot of progress due to that, and countries that got slaves were built off of that, basically for free. Sure, it’s not exactly fair to say that the plundered countries would have gotten to where slaver countries are today without that, but it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to see that Europe basically fucked Africa for a century, Africa is worse off for it, Europe is not, and they probably should be giving back not just for their conscience but as what it’s called: reparations.
What I’m trying to get at is that after WWI, Europe (and especially France) decided now-germany did a lot of damage to them, and it wasn’t fair that they could get to bomb your country to hell and not pay to fix it. So Germany had to pay reparations (which was a factor for WWII but we’ll not get into that), as a way of helping those countries build back what they had bombed.

- Comment on Why do modern phones have device encryption on by default, but computers do not? Why doesn't computers also get encryption on by default? 8 months ago:
They do.
Windows now enables bitlocker by default when you use a Microsoft account, and it saves the keys to onedrive.
Mainstream Linux distros don’t do it by default but it’s an option on install, as Linux usually goes.
MacOS is macOS, I’d be surprised if they didn’t encrypt it before everyone else.

Indeed. The one that was shot into space was never recovered and the only photos we have of it at really blurry because it was, at the time the fastest moving man-made object.
