  • House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias

    Jump

  • They don’t accept verifiable sources. A hundred peer reviewed papers don’t weigh up against a single dissenting voice if that one voice agrees with their views.

  • 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed

    Jump

  • I don’t know. I also remember spending summer nights talking under street lanterns, riding my bike around the block, and playing the Snoopy tennis game & watch. But the video I saw did not feel nostalgic. It felt like a TV ad that I didn’t believe even back then. Or worse, it felt like a cult, which was terrifying.

  • Civilization 7's latest update has "hit mods harder than usual", but for a good reason

    Jump

  • I know you’re talking about early access, but even released games aren’t finished anymore until months later.

  • FFmpeg moves to Forgejo

    Jump

  • Rijndael is pronounced AES.

  • YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround

    Jump

  • there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin.

    Vivaldi without any plugins also works. No ads. And I’m sure there are many more possible configurations. This article reads like the author thinks there’s only two browsers and two ad blockers.

  • NSFW on Lemmy

    Jump

  • I occasionally see similar complaints, and I’m sure it’s legitimate for some users. But personally I don’t get it. I don’t block NSFW content, and yet I rarely see it in /all. When I do it’s usually a bunch at once, but like I said it doesn’t happen a lot.

    The only thing in /all that used to bother me is the sports stuff, but by blocking a single community that’s mostly gone now.

  • Americans have no idea

    Jump

  • I’m old enough to remember the iron curtain. That’s exactly what it was like. If you lived or stayed close to the border, you knew to expect being stopped and checked.

    I guess that’s what they meant by “great again”.

  • Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.

    Jump

  • Ah Lemmy, downvoting an honest question. Never change.

    rule34.xxx is a website where users can post naughty drawings, renders, etc. of mostly anime or computer game characters. Think of your favourite character of your favourite anime, game, comic, etc. Chances are there’ll be images of them on there.

  • Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette

    Jump

  • Say here’s a thought: can we sue ad companies for theft of electricity? They’re using my electricity to display their ads, without my consent.

  • Stop Killing Games reaches its goal of 1.4M signatures, covering the risk of valid signatures going under 1M

    Jump

  • There were, but we ate them.

    If only.

  • Vibe coding service Replit deleted production database

    Jump

  • in which the service admitted to “a catastrophic error of judgement”

    It’s fancy text completion - it does not have judgement.

    The way he talks about it shows he still doesn’t understand that. It doesn’t matter that you tell it simmering in ALL CAPS because that is no different from any other text.

  • Trump gets cooked by his own minions

    Jump

  • Honestly, it feels like we don’t care anymore. In the first Trump term he was in the news a lot, pointing out this out that idiotic thing he said. Now it’s a lot less, just occasionally pointing out how he’s changed his stance on these tariffs or that war once again.

  • Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales

    Jump

  • Sadly justwatch doesn’t work for me. It gives the choice between a part of the country that doesn’t offer services where I live, or another country - which doesn’t offer services where I live.

  • The EU initiative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!!

    Jump

  • Interesting! I tried from a country that has an eID so it should be trivial to weed out duplicates, yet I got that checkbox.

  • The EU initiative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!!

    Jump

  • Oddly, the EU one just has a checkbox that you need to check to confirm that you haven’t signed before. I’m guessing removal of duplicates happens only after closing, along with other data validation.

    I thought this strange at first too, but I think it’s because of the disparate identification methods in different countries. If everyone had a digital ID card instant checking would be doable, but note it probably isn’t.

  • Most Common PIN Codes

    Jump

  • Do you think these are personal PIN numbers?

  • What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

    Jump

  • A “best RPGs of all time” list will inevitably include Baldur’s Gate 2, and likely other Infinity Engine games, most of which are definitely not games without difficulty spikes or required side content.

  • What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

    Jump

  • The Wolf Among Us, and I imagine other Telltale games (but that’s the only one I played so far). It felt a lot like Life is Strange in gameplay and storytelling, even though it’s also a lot different.

    In a similar vein, point and click adventure games like The Whispered World, The Book of Unwritten Tales, or Syberia. The modern ones usually don’t have a failure state (as opposed to the infamous Sierra games), but unlike LiS you may get stuck on a puzzle.

  • AGAIN

  • Also the Herald of Free Enterprise and Chernobyl.
