  I don’t know why people are freaking out over this article. It’s pretty well known that lots of animals (especially within their own class) have eggs that can be fertilized by different species. It doesn’t matter like 99.99% of the time because the resulting cell is unviable and will not develop into anything because the merged DNA is incompatible and will fail to generate into a developed organism.

  The exception to this are hybrids (like a mule), rare cases where similar enough species can actually create a viable fetus, but the resultant hybrid is usually sterile and unable to reproduce its own offspring: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

  Unless the library is tracking book reader stats or you actually check out the book, maybe remember how the classification system works like they were supposed to teach you in school?

  Half the time I’m literally standing in front of the shelf perusing the book, it would be dumb to throw it in the book return unless I don’t know or can’t find the exact position where it came from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of games that ship with kernel level anticheat have an android port that doesn’t have that feature because android (also linux) similarly doesn’t hand out root access, let alone kernel access to anything in userland.

  Huge example being Fortnite.

  Already ignoring the fact that kernel level anticheats have well known bypasses, cheaters can also just use the Android version to make cheating easier if that was really an obstacle.

  Anyone peddling kernel anticheat as a requirement is just using it to cut costs in running moderation staff. Epic Games specifically is just being a dick to linux because they know they have zero leverage in that market, and don’t want to give Steam more traffic.

  All Valve really has to do is sell enough units to tip the percent of linux users that these publishers would not want to miss out on. That’s how so many updated and expanded with the steam deck. Currently the estimate is about 4 million monthly active users on a linux platform. I think if they can reach 10 million (I think 6-7%), it would be enough to incentivize the change.

  I never would have thought Microsoft would allow Halo Infinite or MCC on linux 5 years ago, but they actually changed their minds because they knew people wanted to play on the steam deck. I would even take a guess that the new CoD stuff will shortly follow since MSFT is taking a more open platform approach anyway.

  Even though LTT said valve gave a cold stare at a $500 price tag, the BOM estimate is sitting around $420 (compared to $300 for the deck).

  If they follow the same path as the steam deck, they could still comfortably sell the base model at $600 or $550 if they want to get aggressive with consoles.

  Valve basically broke even with the base model steam deck, so I’m assuming the remaining $100 per unit cost is all the external stuff like production shipping etc. They make profit on the higher level models by charging more for storage and OLED.

  Valve’s plan was never to compete with consoles, but they’re sitting on a golden opportunity here with Xbox flailing in the water and being able to price match without loss. Their major blocker is the anti cheat holdouts though, and I don’t think they’ll be willing to change unless steam machine itself becomes very popular, which forms an annoying loop.

  I think they’re probably having some great arguments behind the scenes on what point exactly they should settle on based off of the public response everyone is giving from this statement lol.

  Yeah I used to do it through my mobile hotspot, but Android dropped support for 802.11b, so now I gotta use my PC.

  On the other hand, I think emulators like MelonDS have an emulated network passthrough which makes it super easy to use.

  pkmnclassic.net in case you want to do DLC events, GTS, and other wifi features.

  Have fun with gen 5.

  They said they went LCD because of the light loss due to the lenses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  gg ez ease of use feature, which is hilarious because that’s exactly where smishing attacks come in. People are actually more willing to give out the OTP than their actual password, so it definitely less secure.

  I think this started out as a decently good idea, like sign in with a device type of feature (think QR code from an authenticated device), but then along the way someone just went “screw it” and changed it to an OTP.

  Even in 2025 password managers are rare, people still reuse the same 8 character password everywhere, and people fall for low effort scams. So someone thought “if they’re gonna be insecure anyway, lets just make it so they never have to use a password and sync it to their phone or email”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Master Race⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  $400 console

  The only thing that qualifies is an Xbox series S, even Switch 2 is $450 lmao.

  Even funnier when you consider “PC” consoles like Steam Deck or Legion which gives you a even wider access to games, including exclusives thanks to emulation.

  Hell Sony and Microsoft gave up on the console exclusive system because PC & Steam demonstrated the expanded market is worth the tradeoff when your console hardware is basically a computer.

  That didn’t used to be the case even up to the PS4 when the hardware was still targeted for games like high VRAM, but that’s no longer the case.

  It gets even better with Switch emulation because it was a glorified Android tablet that was already outdated on arrival, meaning you can play Switch games even on your phone thanks to ARM instruction pass-through techniques.

  If the 3D of Gen 5 qualifies: smilingzero.github.io/BlazeBlack2ReduxWiki/

  Don’t quote me on this, but I believe it should also be compatible with pkmnclassic.net which includes online WFC features such as:

      Wi-Fi Battle Tower and Subway
      Random Match ups (Currently requires AR Code: https://github.com/mm201/pkmn-classic-framework/issues/116)
  
  ### What doesn't
  
      Trainer Rankings (PtHGSS)
      ~~Wi-Fi Plaza (PtHGSS)~~ Seems to work now
      Game Sync
      Rating Battles / Competitions

  First time ever I’ve seen someone complain about Pokemon on lemmy. Only other time I saw Nintendo complaints was a couple of posts about Mario Kart during the Switch 2 launch.

  I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.

  Most of us here aren’t braindead consumers who throw money at even subpar media, much less Game Freak slop. Could probably guarantee you most people on lemmy probably haven’t touched a Pokemon game since they were a kid.

  It’s like a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It’s a targeted cheap product designed to make money.

  I did a 2 minute lazy search when people were talking about this, and its not just some random reddit post, several people working at stores posted online on several platforms that stock was being moved around or removed entirely.

  Most likely its just brick and mortar stores moving product around to locations that are actually selling, or planning ahead for black friday deals. Nothing groundbreaking, but this site was the first that was heavily defending Microsoft for no reason lol.

  People pay to stream music?

  I thought most people just put up with ads, or get the revanced version of the app with ads removed.

  Then you have the smaller group that downloads off of any good distribution site, and then the small minority of music archive torrentors.

  I think I only ever met one person who actually paid for youtube premium, but my sample size is probably too small.
