I thought they just declared there’s no such thing as trans?
Didn’t Trump say if Kamala was elected we’d have WW3? It’s been less than a week and we’re trying to start some $&@!
I have friends like this too.
This Storm-Battered Town Voted for Trump. He Has Vowed to Overturn the Law That Could Fix Its Homes.
They will never notice and assume without evidence that someone else is to blame.
Yes. I’m so disinterested in money to the point it’s probably unwise.
Me, going on 48: “they let kids have cellphones in school?”
It’s according to plan. Russia can’t compete with the West, so it wants to bring western countries to its level.
What’s his voting record? That’s what counts.
Which ones would say it does? Is Biden in your view as corrupt as Trump in that he can and has been bought for practically anyone that appeals to his ego and wallet?
The way they depict the almost autonomous responses of those in charges of firing the nukes is unnerving.
This is how this situation was depicted in a made for TV movie on NBC. https://youtu.be/n28NoLNarNs
Agree. The size of the community seems to correlate with the number of trolls, which can quickly change the tone of a platform. Trolls are more active, outspoken, and literally feed on negativity.
ATMs are offline due to EMP blast, which also killed your cell phone, cell towers, and battery to your car which is stuck in gridlocked traffic. Provided you made it far enough to actually get gas, others who didn’t have your foresight begin to eye your resources.
They’re also MAGA supporters.
I say anna-bee-otics. My father is a veterinarian, and would abbreviate antibiotics to anna-bees when speaking with techs about prescriptions. This affected how he’d say antibiotics, and I spent so much time with him over the years I picked up the habit.
It’s pronounced quickly, where if I say it properly I spend conscious thought saying an-tie-bye-otics.
Same. Waterloo Cherry Limeade and Blackberry are the flavors I like most.
EmulationStation: Is it possible to validate BIOS prior to playing a game?
I find that launching certain games seems to be hit or miss as far as the BIOS is concerned, even though I think I have the right files. Is there a method that confirms you have the correct BIOS prior to launching a title?
Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?
Over the years, there've been various red flags in gaming, for me at least. Multi-media. Full-Motion Video. Day-One DLC. Microtransactions. The latest one is Live Service Game. I find the idea repulsive because it immediately tells me this is an online-required affair, even if it doesn't warrant it. There's no reason for some games to require an internet connection when the vast majority of activities they provide can be done in a single-player fashion. So I suspect Live Service Game to be less of a commitment to truly providing updated worthwhile content and more about DRM. Instead of imposing Denuvo or some other loathed 3rd party layer on your software, why not just require internet regardless of whether it brings value to customer?
What do you think about Live Service Games? Do you prefer them to traditional games that ship finished, with potential expansions and DLC to follow later?
What are some things that you can’t do in a small town that you wish you could?
The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you could do in a small town that you just can’t?
I was in the mountains, Hendersonville NC I think, trying to find a place to eat after 7 pm on a week day. Was impossible.
A feature in iPadOS 17 enables iPads to work with USB-C capture cards. Here's how to use the feature to make your large-screen iPad work as an external monitor for your Nintendo Switch.
This would be great while on vacation.
Is it possible to control the camera via touchscreen during an Intelligent Waypoint flight?
Hopefully the title is self explanatory, but if not, what I'm looking to do is this:
After programming a flight plan to be executed automatically via GPS, I'd like to be able to control the gimbal camera based on holding and dragging my finger on the screen rather than using the rocker. I find it smoother, but it doesn't appear to work for me when I try it. Am I missing something?
You wait all year for a 98-inch Samsung TV and then two come along at once
Like most of the other best Samsung TVs, the new 98-inch QN900C has Samsung's Gaming Hub and Motion Xcelerator Pro. That delivers 4K at up to 120Hz, rising to 144Hz with compatible PCs. There's also support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro as well as NVIDIA G-Sync like most of the best gaming TVs have.
Posting replies takes forever, multiple attempts creates multiple posts.
I had this issue prior to whatever significant changes were made about a week or so ago that improved the performance of Lemmy.world. I'd try to create a new post or reply to an existing one. On hitting submit/reply, the spinning wheel would appear on the button icon and after waiting minutes, I'd refresh. Sometimes the post or reply would be present, other times not. With replies in particular, I'd make multiple tries and over time, the aborted attempts would result in a series of replies.
Is there a performance issue server side that is the cause for this behavior? Is there anything I can do from my end to troubleshoot? One thing that is different between now and then is that upvoting or downvoting posts is fast and responsive. Before the changes using those buttons amounted to the same thing, lag/non-responsiveness.
Regardless of the issues, I'm enjoying Lemmy.world! Keep up the good work.
Windows 365 for consumers is imminent? So the rumor mill reckons
Never mind Windows 365, I’ve yet to move on to Windows 11. Tried a few times and never liked it.
This seems like a really bad idea. Are there any examples of this that Lemmians are familiar with? Certainly can’t play games on it. Right?
MSNBC | Nothing about Moms for Liberty is new. That’s why they’re effective.
As a professor who has written for over 20 years about conservatives and women, it’s clear to me that Moms for Liberty isn’t just another flash-in-the-pan organization
The Southern Poverty Law Center lists Moms for Liberty as an extremist group in its Year in Hate and Extremism report for 2022 for what it calls the group’s opposition to an inclusive public school environment.
From Across the Spider-Verse to Chainsaw Man, the cosplay at Anime Expo 2023 was top-notch.
Cosplay at anime conventions has gotten so much better than 10-15 years ago. I think the last con I made it to was Otakon in Baltimore during the late aughts. There were maybe a handful of people that brought the level of quality to the costumes compared to many of the cosplayers these days.
Electric Nachos is back.
THR's report also comes on the heels of rumors that Ben Affleck himself would be returning as Daredevil for the movie, as well as rumors earlier this spring that James Marsden, Famke Janssen, and Halle Barry would return as Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm, respectively. These rumors are strictly that--rumors--but Garner's return seems to lend some credence to them potentially being true.

One dollar, play some good games—even on phones and tablets.
FTA:
Microsoft has brought back everyone's favorite deal: $1 for a month of PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate. If you're purely interested in PC, that's 100-some very high quality games available on a windows PC for a month, and then a bunch of EA games as well, since PC Game Pass also includes an EA Play membership.
You can find PC Game Pass for $1, for a limited time, on Microsoft's store. PC Game Pass is $10 a month after the $1 promotion, while Game Pass Ultimate is $17.
I have Game Pass Ultimate and it's been a wonderful way to try all kinds of games console and PC that I wouldn't otherwise play. I discovered Hardspace: Shipbreaker this way, and have sunk dozens of hours into it.
COO says coming benchmarks will show anti-piracy tech has no performance impact.
Kudos to Ars Technica to interviewing the Devil. The comments section of that post is *not *kind.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the mercenary who led a mutiny in Russia, was thought to be in exile in Belarus. However, when NBC News went to the Presidential Palace in the capital Minsk, President Lukashenko said that Prigozhin is still in Russia. NBC News’ Keir Simmons has more details.
This doesn’t sound great.

Rashid was never one of my mains, but I remember getting my butt kicked by him well enough. Fun character from SFV.
The adventure RPG focusing on scuba and sushi has seen its Steam concurrent player numbers rise dramatically.
I love Dave the Diver. It's one of my favorite random purchases on Steam over the past couple months, and I'm glad to see it's getting some attention.
Don’t Federate the Trolls!
Don’t Feed the Trolls. It’s an expression that was a common response to obvious attempts to agitate on early message boards and BBSes. As individuals, there’s not a lot we can do to make a difference in this but what we’re finding out is that with good admins, an Instance of Lemmy or Mastodon can moderate toxic communities (Exploding Heads) from impacting non toxic ones (Lemmy.world).
Admins of Lemmy, please be the ones that can actually “don’t feed the trolls.” Don’t federate with historically toxic communities such as Facebook. There’s a reason I’m here and it’s because it’s not FB. If I start encountering traditional aspects of that platform (hate, intolerance, disinformation and mass ignorance), I’ll leave. I’m one person, but based on what I’m seeing I am not unique in this position.
Don’t Feed the Trolls!
Thanks !
