Just a lvl 28 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but actually more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.
During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.
A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be a fluffy raccoon on the internet?
Yeah I did try the candles method years ago and it didn’t work very well. Although maybe the candles weren’t the right distance apart from each other or something else like that.
Good thing cheap battery powered ones seem to still be readily available on Amazon and other places
The ones I return to regularly:
Dolphin - for GC and Wii. Most titles using Wii remotes require the sensor bar thingy and mine recently stopped working. I haven’t bothered buying a new one yet so it’s GC games only for now.
Nestopia UE - for NES on Windows. These days I mostly use my Switch for (S)NES titles anyway but like once a year I get the craving to return to some classic SMB 1 or 3 rom hack.
Obviously what he did was wrong but I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for him. I’m glad he seems to have mostly gotten his life back together.
I was wondering the same thing. I checked my email, and over the past month I’ve received an email about policy changes from:
Discord
Anthropic (Claude)
Nintendo
YouTube
Meta
Airbnb
Microsoft
I don’t think it can be just a coincidence. At least a couple of them specifically mention the UK’s Online Safety Act so maybe that’s the reason?
Even if most of the time they might not benefit anyone, it takes like 30 seconds tops to add one so why wouldn’t we. They can also be easily generated with AI, one of the actually useful use cases for it.
Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn’t illegal there, is it?
Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that’s why it’s not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.
For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.
Not really, as long as you don’t run an exit node
The internet got way more complicated since then with all the dynamically loaded and generated content. I don’t think the plugin would work very well these days.
It’s a-me, Mario!
From Assassin’s Creed 2. Might be known from some other game too, I dunno.
The Shining
One of the reasons why videos don’t work well in Lemmy is that many instances have not configured their setup correctly for video streaming.
Not intentionally, but in high school we had a test on identification of flowers and plants. The teacher was an older man and he wasn’t good with computers. He was showing pictures from the computer using video projector but didn’t realize that Windows was displaying the filename of each picture in the title bar and each picture was named e.g. “daisy.jpg”. Almost the whole class got full marks on the test except for the unlucky few who sat in the back row and had poor eyesight.
Procrastinating
I will let you know later how good I am at it.
I think it’s pretty weird.
Oh wow, I didn’t know abot his backstory. Oblivion and Skyrim would probably be very different games if he hadn’t survived that accident.
It allows you to easily list users who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment. Most people don’t realize their votes are public, as Lemmy doesn’t display voters anywhere in the UI. The tool sparked quite a bit of debate when it was released, most of it unnecessary in my opinion as instance owners/admins, community moderators, and users of non-Lemmy software (like Mbin) can see vote information regardless.
Downloading VMware Workstation from Broadcom. They made it free but they definitely didn’t make getting it easy. What’s worse, in-app updates have been broken since Broadcom takeover, meaning you need to navigate their shitty website every time you want to update.
Sadly I don’t see what they could have done. I don’t think international law would have allowed them to intercept the plane even if they had wanted to. It would have been a very interesting situation tho if the plane had a problem and would have been forced to make an emergency landing in one of the three countries.
