- Comment on If trump appointments someone that doesn't last as long as Anthony Scaramucci do we measure that in fractional moochies or do we abandon the mooch system because it failed us? 2 days ago:
Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we’ve all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.
- Comment on Exclusive: Sony is in talks to buy Kadokawa, the media powerhouse behind 'Elden Ring' 3 days ago:
Wikipedia lists their gaming properties as:
- Spike Chunsoft
- FromSoftware (69.66%)
- Acquire
Acquire is a name I associate most with Tenchu but it looks like the developed the Mario & Luigi game that released a week or so ago.
- Comment on Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating 4 days ago:
Given that each charge is only for $33,000, so about $100,000 total, I expect a settlement will be reached instead of going on this fight.
Unfortunately that would be the worst outcome for everyone else.
The patents need to be contested and invalidated or smaller devs will feel they can’t use these mechanics.

Physical or digital? If digital what platforms are available?
- Comment on What is your pet peeve in 2024? 2 weeks ago:
I bought this skittles set for the kids to have a competition at a kids birthday party. The pins and ball are reasonable quality but the staples holding the box together fell apart the second we tried to pack it away.
- Comment on What is your pet peeve in 2024? 2 weeks ago:
It would be fine if they just had a single election like everywhere else but they have their primaries too and seem to start campaigning around half way through the term. So there is some degree of campaigning going on around half the time.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on Are there any historical or modern day true stories (like the story of The Buddha) of someone born rich and privileged who just walked away from their family and turned down money and an inheritance? 4 weeks ago:
Does Edward VIII count?
He surrendered the Crown … but was then made a Duke.
- Comment on If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater? 4 weeks ago:
The water is just sitting there, not eroding through salts.
Is the ocean still or famously active?
But all jokes aside freshwater is salt free because it has been distilled by the evaporation/cloud/rainfall part of the water cycle. When rain falls in the ocean it mixes pretty quickly.
- Comment on How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ? 4 weeks ago:
sign near a sick/old person name
With postal voting and mobile polling places the sick and elderly are given opportunities to vote in Australia.
Even without those facilities it would take a fair bit of effort to identify and sign for a statistically significant number of sick/elderly.
- Comment on Did the concept of 9-5 included a 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks? 5 weeks ago:
My time sheet totals 37.5 hours of work per week and I can take take a lunch break of 30 to 60 minutes. The break is unpaid and a minimum break of 30 minutes is required after 5 straight hours of work so the lunch break is mandatory.
Typically this works out to 7.5 hours work with a 30 minutes break totalling 8 hours on site. Smaller breaks are untimed so if we need to stretch our legs or get some fresh air no one is watching the clock. We also have a pretty good culture of not interrupting people’s lunch with work issues so that does feel like an actual break.
- Comment on If I wanted to die in a viking funeral, like getting put on a boat and set ablaze while I am in the middle of the see can this be done? Or is it even legal? 5 weeks ago:
Science might be a loophole.
Can’t people donate their bodies to specific scientific endeavors?
It might just need to be framed as an experiment.
- Comment on Why do phone apps update all the time but nothing seems to change? 1 month ago:
Most apps will be built using libraries to provide functionality.
For example a Lemmy might use a small database to store cached data on the device so it doesn’t have to redownload data as you navigate back and forth. Rather than writing their own code to create and maintain the database that functionality is available as a library they can import into their app and use immediately.
There might be dozens or even hundreds of libraries in any given app, this is great in that the app developer can focus on their app specific features and not worry so much about the low level features but these libraries also have their own release schedule and may only support security fixes on their current version.
This can result in a situation where you could have weekly or monthly updates just to include library updates even if you haven’t added any features directly to the app itself.
- Comment on Why did my bus driver want me to not pay the fare and instead just "TAKE A SEAT!!!" 1 month ago:
Where i am if the ticketing machine is down the diver will ask people to take a seat without paying. The usually use the same phrase as your driver.
- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 1 month ago:
Eyeballing the login screen may give some insight, you’re right that its probably unwise to try real creds if you don’t recognize the server.
- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 1 month ago:
Home network or corporate?
Its a windows server, if you are using widows too you can try establishing a RDP connection with Remote Desktop Connection.
- Comment on Does anyone watch Google, Microsoft, etc the way Cop Watch watches cops? 1 month ago:
I’m getting interesting results with this:
www.google.com/search?q=tech+industry+watchdog
I think naming a particular tech vendor is likely to get different results compared to using generic terms.

You install your own windows? Do you really know if the pre-installed windows gets deleted?
This one seems to be easy to manage. Formatting the disc seems easy to do.

- Comment on What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices? 1 month ago:
More than anything, the problem is apps.
True, its a real chicken and egg situation. No one what to use a platform without decent app support but no one wants to develop for a platform without any users.
