Well, they aren’t bomb experts so why would they make a judgement call on that? The rules are there for a reason - maybe someone made a bomb that a fish could swim in.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got a double peen AMA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
It’s there under “power hammer”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Million dollar idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
People are playing the algorithm on other sites, they’ll keep doing it till it stops working.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries programming in Java⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
It’s not someone who is learning, because “how to avoid race conditions” is like java concurrency 101. The entire thing is made to prevent that shit from happening. And it is incredibly easy to setup a “happens before” relationship.

And then some fucker is too lazy to do dishes and advances medicine by a century
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
A man, in a hoodie, that speeds up his step when they try to walk away from him faster, at 2am. Context matters a lot here.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Literally says “speeds up my steps as well”.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
No it isn’t when there’s probable cause. And “dude started running after me” is enough for self defense to kick in. Actually it is probably enough to charge the dude.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need pics of fat tigers to send to my mom. she hates pics of fat tigers and every few months I send her a bunch.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
You’re plainly trolling.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paul vs. Tyson⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Not just “thinks”, he is counting on it. Weaponising the hate people have for him. He gets his shit kicked in and it’ll go viral.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yakuza creator Nagoshi says the era of game size being most important is coming to an end⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Games / game engines use units which correspond to size IRL. It’s needed to keep scale consistent. The characters are usually around 1.8m tall for instance
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there ways to use VR headset for realtime assistance?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Nah. First of all, VR headsets are great for working in a specific room, when one is standing in the middle of it. Not when you are looking down nooks and crannies. SteamVR would lose lighthouse tracking 100% of the time, disorient and grey out. It could actually be dangerous. Second, the passthrough cameras are ass quality. It won’t be enough to see cables well. They’re made with the idea of “I want to see where a dog-like object is, so I don’t step on my dog”. Three, headsets are heavy and tiring, especially if holding a phone is too much. Now you are holding two screens close to your face. You most likely cannot fit glasses well under them either. So you need to add prescription lenses, which make it usable by one person only.

What you need is a small wireless camera on a cap they put on their head, that’s connected to the PC to stream the video to you. It already adds complexity - where the camera needs to be charged, needs to be turned on etc, but not as much as a VR headset.

Then you add into it some sort of interactive board features. Slack for instance lets you draw on someone’s screen when sharing. Either two people would need to be there, one to look and one to see what you are marking, or you could just stream to their phone, where they see the output of the camera and you can mark / write on it to mark what you need to.

But yah, VR isn’t the tech for this.

To be able to say “our map is 100x100km!” The only games where it is worth it to have a huge map like that, is army simulators and RTS. Anything else could probably be better off with polish in some other place, rather than a huge map.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Horrifying' Israeli strike on Gaza residential block kills at least 93 people, including 20 children⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Again, lots of text and zero understanding of the history of the region. But at least you added the “I don’t like brown people” to your post, so I guess you get points for honesty.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please cancel all my meetings⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I’m gonna click report and say “I’m in this picture and I don’t like it”. Holy shit it’s easy not to do anything when you are self employed.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do most celebrities/influencers & some normal people have those fake-looking teeth?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Whitening isn’t really that expensive tbh
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Uses Safety Concerns To Defend Steam PSN Account Requirements⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
People care since Sony had multiple breaches resulting in passwords / accounts being available to the public. Some even used to buy a bunch of shit off the store and overdraw people’s credit cards.

Just because one thing is bad doesn’t mean you need to agree to something else that is also bad. And if Linux gaming was more popular, more people would push back on games like Apex or Destiny to include anticheats that work on it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Uses Safety Concerns To Defend Steam PSN Account Requirements⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
They have, but the details don’t matter. You can’t force people to do something, then backtrack when there’s people pushing back and then go back to business as if nothing happened. The broken trust is there already - so every game they add their thing to will remind people of Helldivers. There’s a reason this article has Helldivers as its thumbnail.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Uses Safety Concerns To Defend Steam PSN Account Requirements⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Ya
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Uses Safety Concerns To Defend Steam PSN Account Requirements⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Because they introduced that shit to a successful game way after launch. So people got pissed because it was a bait and switch.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lab toys⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
You guys are mathematicians not letterematicians.

Also, I’m doing engineering shit and I still need to count using my fingers when calculating something on a multiplication table
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Democracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The decision they made wasn’t a precedent, they allowed it as a case-by-case basis. So Biden wouldn’t be able to point to Trump and say “he did it! So it’s legal!”.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Democracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
An assassination isn’t “an official act”, plain and simple. The Supreme Court ruled on one specific case. They allowed it then. A different case could be ruled illegal. Which it would 100% be done, be it a republican court, a democratic court, or some magical unbiased one from fairy land.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Democracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The Supreme Court does, he just said that
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Democracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Not true, the Supreme Court decides it on a case by case basis. And murder of a political opponent would land Biden in jail faster than you can say “one Missisipi”. And rightfully so. That’s why he didn’t do anything of the sort - because he is not a criminal.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Democracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
No it isn’t and it never was.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Horrifying' Israeli strike on Gaza residential block kills at least 93 people, including 20 children⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Lots of text, biased sources and assumptions about me. And then the same shit you said earlier. Learn about the region, about its history, stop spouting bullshit. There is so much wrong about what you have just written that I’ll not even delve into refuting every single thing you have said.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Lemmy is 1000x more toxic than reddit ever was. Reddit had so many users that insane takes were downvoted and those people burried. Lemmy was made by insane people.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a close call⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
In your mothers’ eyes you will always be a helpless baby that needs to be fed and coddled. No matter if you are 2, 12, 22 or 52.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
And then a game gets updated so the hashes don’t match and uh oh, everything is fucked. Oh, but we can change the hashes of the files in the executable! Yeah, so can they. People modding shit into the executable is basically a given. Let alone the fact that you’d need to sit through a steam “validation of files” length of time every time you’d need to launch a game (because validation works exactly as you have described).

What is gained is that it has access to more information. Some cheats use an entirely different program / process that reads memory and outputs info that is available to the game but hidden from the player. Like a client needs to know where a person on the other team is to be able to draw their model. So you read that, you put a little box over where they are, and bang you have wallhacks.
