Easy to say, not so much to convince kids. Keep in mind they want to play Roblox mainly for 2 reasons:

  1. internet videos (much like Minecraft, Roblox is its own video category on YT, tktk, insta, twitch)
  2. their friends play

That’s the biggest fight, no matter how good some other game you make them play actually is, they will feel attracted to Roblox because of social pressure. If you want to see a similar effect among adults, look at football (either normal or murican) and EA’s digital offerings




Once you start with a trad llama waifu, you quickly get into goat mama


Question: if we bridge 2 ais and let them talk to one another, will they eventually poison each other with gibberish bullshit?


Beating an orc captain that’s immune to stealth, moves fast and fears you is one of the biggest challenges of the game


The only downside is that they managed to patent the nemesis system. Other games could make good use of it


You make it sound like it’s trivial to get a position of political power when said position is already being vied for by several people, many of which have way more money and resources than the average lemming


Neat, I might set up one of my older, currently unused phones to be my host. As soon as I figure something I want to share around


Dumb question: can anyone host a i2p site on a personal device? For instance, if I leave a PC or old phone connected to the network, how easy/hard is it to configure so I have a working site accessible to everyone on the network?


You see, money is more important than people, after all. As the saying goes, “The game was rigged from the start”


I’d expect linux to have some way to extract a .bin image file or open it in a file explorer, even windows can do that. The .cue can be opened with a text editor, it’s just a bit of text indicating where tracks begin and end on said .bin image


Oh, they know what people want in an OS, the thing is that they don’t care. People who know better can complain all they want, normies and most corpos will get windows anyway


I’m using LineageOS 17 on a used Samsung S8, which I bought ~1 year ago specifically because it was listed as having first class support for the OS on their page


BAR - Beyond All Reason, for Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander style RTS, learned about this one in another thread here on lemmy

Zero-K - similar premise, plays different from BAR, also the graphics seem less demanding

OpenSoldat - 2D arena shooter. For anyone that never played or saw something similar, think of multiplayer maps of halo, quake or unreal, but if it was a 2D platformer

Not quite open source, but Daggerfall Unity is a FOSS update to the engine for Daggerfall, a game which Bethesda has made free for years now. You can get the game off GOG, too.


Google keeps letting us down, tho


It’s created and backed by Google, so that’s no doubt Jamie’s main beef.

Also, when it first came out, most OSs didn’t have native support, so saving a webp locally, you could only open it via a browser, or you installed a non native image viewer, not unlike jpegs and gifs during Windows 95

Side note, I personally use nomacs as my default image viewer in Win10 - https://nomacs.org/


For anyone that missed the initial news back in March -> https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/03/playtron-wants-to-go-way-wider-than-steam-with-a-gaming-os-for-core-casuals/ So, to everyone that was already kinda skeptical back then, congratulations, you were right.

It’s probably because WoW isn’t as competitive as LoL or Valorant, so Riot’s games need to be more aggressive in figuring whether someone is cheating or not. A more apt comparison would be with Valve’s Dota2 and Counter Strike


In Brazil, the govt owned lottery site, created around 2015, only accepts passwords with 6 numeric digits. Your password has to be a number between 000000 and 999999. Only somewhat recently (6 months ago or so) they’ve added a 2FA through an email link.

Oh, said lottery is run by the biggest govt owned bank. Chances of people reusing their bank password there are very fucking high.


Huh, I didn’t know preparing surprises (parties, gifts, trips) was a crime. Today I Learned /s


Privacy as a human right is, indeed, new. The concept and the desire for it is old. Doing things and not wanting to get caught is as old as walking forward. What, you think the idea of cheating a romantic partner is new? That every military in history and prehistory exchanged letters with one another, saying what they were doing? That every important and “important” person always exposed everything they did and thought to everyone?

Also, keep in mind there’s a significant number of serious journalists that need privacy in order to do their job of exposing crimes. I can already see you replying “They wouldn’t need to do that if everything was public”. True, but that would also mean that tyrants and wannabe tyrants would have incredible ease in killing everyone they disliked.


There are people who actually believe that kind of dystopic bullshit, even in the tech sector. I remember a colleague a few years ago, told me he liked targeted ads because “it knew what I wanted”


A browser addon that utterly floods advertisers and trackers with dummy data. A single person using it is easy to single out. A thousand start to eat into the profits. 100k should make them go offline (DDoS’ed) with an interesting frequency.


I guess someone should’ve presented the following situations to the court: some CEO of a small-medium company driving his Toyota sends a very important message regarding work. Toyota also gets to read it and is immediately aware of how that’ll affect stock price. Time to gamble on the market, baby!

Situation 2: some researcher driving his Honda sends several files regarding a secret new product to his boss. Honda also gets to access the files and the content of the message. “Oh look, Honda released my product before me!”

Situation 3: After using the snooped information for self profit, the automaker sells it to 3rd parties for further profit.
