  • Tbf, they look so close to each other, i'd went for Mario and Luigi. Wario is quite different from Mario.

  • Xi Unleashes China’s Biggest Purge of Military Leaders Since Mao

    Jump

  • I'm not familiar with the matter, but from the little i've learned of the article, it seems the general have just disappeared, right?

    If it was corruption matters, that would be official, as it would be a good reason for a trial.

  • Libya’s EU-Backed Coast Guard Attacked a Migrant Rescue Ship

    Jump

  • I found the info on this article first, and it did seemed fishy at first, especially with the photo that kinda looks like AI at a glance

    But there is actually a lot of media coverage about it, at least from the main francophone news sources.

    To answer your questions, it seemed the ship was going back to europe after that. One fact that can help explain it all was that, as people from the attacked ship claim, the coast guard are mercenaries and not members of official police force or anything.

  • Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?

    Jump

  • If i'm not mistaken, the very last graph showing posts by month shows a significant decreasing over the summer, or at least specifically july (since august is not over yet). It says June is around 12M posts and July around 9M. August seems already over 9M and we're only 2/3 in, so maybe there was some drop around July for some reason, which could explain OP's feeling.

    As for the reason, i'm not sure, maybe a combination of factors like some server blocking access from UK with the latest privacy bullshit, some server having signficant downtime (i think slrpnk.net had a problem with servers locking themselves up while tech admin was abroad), and maybe non-Lemmy factors like holidays (though they don't seem to impact previous years stats).

  • Investigation into horrifying death of French streamer

    Jump

  • From what i learned from french investigation media Mediapart, it included slapping, strangling, being asked to hit someone else, among other humiliations.

  • Purra wants to close Finland's education agency following her party's accusations of 'woke ideology'

    Jump

  • From what i get from English wikipedia, it's mainly preparing curricula for basic and secondary education, participating in the education field's regulations, and acting as a central organizer for administrative things relating to education.

  • Reddit is now allowing advocacy of Child Marrige because they don't want to be seen as islamophobes

    Jump

  • Indeed surprising for me, the trick being that it's not 18 when considering "marriage with parents and judicial approval", which are probably pretty rare but definitely possible in way more countries than i would have bet

  • This happened to me in Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Sims.

    Jump

  • It makes sense for me too, and i like your cheat code version of it. I think it's also akin to the tutorial hell for devs and artists.

  • Accidentally tapping Posts while browsing, then going back to Home feed forces a refresh. I consistently lose track of posts I wanted to read.

    Jump

  • Happens to me all the time, but with the swipe left/right from the border of the screen. I understand that reloading when selecting a community or feed can be wanted by user, since AFAIK there is no other option to reload the feed you're currently in. I just wish the navigation principle of swiping left/right from the border of the screen could work in the communities list to bring you back to the previous feed. Altough, tbf, if there's a post i want to read, i save it, and if i didnt have the time, i can remember which post it was and find it again.

  • Assault on Sudan’s Zamzam refugee camp may have killed more than 1,500 civilians

    Jump

  • China too it seems, from what the comment says

  • 'Wipe' SSD before reinstalling Linux?

    Jump

  • I've heard that SSD have a relatively limited number of write cycles, and that wiping/compacting data can even be a slightly bad thing in this regard. I am not sure at all if this is true though, don't take my word for it and correct me if i'm wrong.

  • [Discussion] Flatpaks, ram/disk usage and compression

    Jump

  • Doesn't have AppImages the same problem than Flatpak regarding dependencies duplicated for each program ? If so, what is their advantage over Flatpak ?

  • North Korea sent me abroad to be a secret IT worker. My wages funded the regime

    Jump

  • Okay, my mistake, i misinterpreted it. To be fair with BBC, they point out in the title and article that this is just some transcript of someone anonymous, and they try to tie each allegation with reports from other sources to back up their likeliness. I guess it's the best you can do with someone anonymous ? Revealing the company, dates, or town might compromise the anonymity. I have this low-key uncomfortable feeling of "well, there's nothing that proves it" with most anonymous reports i read or hear, even when it's for events that are common otherwise.

  • North Korea sent me abroad to be a secret IT worker. My wages funded the regime

    Jump

  • There are also reports by companies and american judiciary system. Now, those are biased voices too, they lack clear proof of what happened, and they probably make it bigger than it is, but i find it unlikely that this is 100% bs and staging : if i had that much resources to pour into staging something, i think it would be more convincing.

    .ml bot cosplaying as an arab ignores facts and says Biden is worse than Trump

    Jump

  • It does not seem like a bot to me, what makes you think of it ? And even if it was a bot, what makes you say that it is "cosplaying as an Arab" ?

  • [Itch] ValiDate: Struggling Singles in your Area, visual novel

    Jump

  • Seems like a nice game, and i like that it's a "censorship deal" after the anti-NSFW itch.io had to make

    The reviews say it may be glitchy and people seem very divided with wether they like it or not. Some piece of advice you may want to have before trying it : it seems its better not to start with Malik.

  • Good free ways to learn to make 2d assets?

    Jump

  • Well, it may depends on the style you're going for.

    If this is pixel art, which i found relatively easy when having no big artistic background, i can recommend those youtube channels : AdamCYounis, Brandon James Greer, and Pixel Pete. I also hugely recommend the series of mini-tutorial over here, it's pixel art tutorial all in pixel art, and it's amazing.

    If you're looking for other styles, i don't have ressources to learn. People already recommended Gimp and Inkscape (and Blender, you can do a bit of 2D in there as well, though it may not be the most comfortable way). I'd also add Krita, which is more meant for traditional drawing. It works way better with a graphics tablet though, but even a cheap one does the trick.
