  • San Diego Comic Con Quietly Bans AI Art

    Jump

  • I'm kind of surprised that it was just a fairly quiet policy change. They could have made a big announcement about it and gotten plenty of praise from comic book fans.

  • One from a couple months ago. The keypad for the mail room is apparently running Ubuntu.

    Jump

  • I will never understand systems that run a full operating system for something like a slideshow kiosk.

    Yeah, definitely. This device does have a few features (the circular light at the bottom is where you can scan a QR code), but I still suspect this could have been implemented without a full operating system.

  • Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company

    Jump

  • How does a company like this make money? Like, is it basically a consulting firm that plans to do development on core Linux features? Custom dev work that they are also able to open source? They already have quite a few employees on the about page.

  • Advice on music player devices?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the only open source physical media player I'm aware of is the Tangara. Their most recent blog post is from July, 2025, and mentions some tweaks they want to make before doing another production run. So there might be more units coming, but there will be a wait.

  • Bought a 3DS XL last year

    Jump

  • What a coincidence, I just saw someone playing a 3DS (not XL I think) on the train on the way home today. I haven't seen someone playing a dedicated handheld console in forever. I should've struck up a conversation about it.

    I also saw someone using an MP3 player last week. Single-purpose electronics making a small comeback this year?

  • Ubisoft Randomly Gives Far Cry 3 A 60FPS Current-Gen Upgrade

    Jump

  • They definitely do! A very distinctive look for FC2, another thing that sets it apart from the rest of the series. (I mean, OK, Blood Dragon is very distinct, too, but that's kind of another thing.)

    Unfortunately, there are still no computers that can run Crysis well. Some things are outside the reach of current science. Maybe in another ten years or so, we'll get there. It's still worth playing, though.

  • How old did you get your driver's license? Did you learn driving from a driving school or from parents? (or some friend or relative?)

    Jump

  • Oh interesting, maybe it's just more of a western US thing and I assumed it was the whole country. I live in Utah now, and every high school has it here. Also every high school (from what I remember) in California also had it.

  • How old did you get your driver's license? Did you learn driving from a driving school or from parents? (or some friend or relative?)

    Jump

  • Had my learner's permit at 15, and regular license at 16, which is pretty standard in the US. The driving school for me was literally the high school. Like, the driving class was one of the classes you take in your regular school. That is also pretty common in the US.

  • ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 01/21/2026

    Jump

  • X-Men #24, and also last week's Uncanny X-Men #22.

  • Ubisoft Randomly Gives Far Cry 3 A 60FPS Current-Gen Upgrade

    Jump

  • My opinion about Far Cry 2 did a complete 180 over the last few years. When it first came out, all I remember thinking was that it was less technically impressive than Crysis. (I was just obsessed with graphics in 2008. There were many of us like that. I have changed.) Now I see it as the most distinct entry in the series.

  • You Can Now Run Debian GNU/Linux on the OpenWrt One Open-Source Router

    Jump

  • No, but it does have three antennas, which you can position to form The Trident of Portseidon.

  • New and old, Sacramento trams

    Jump

  • There's definitely two "vintage" street cars here, and I love both of them. The design on the newer one also has a very 70s/80s vibe to it.

    The website OP posted mentions that the photos are from 2005. The people's jeans in the photos also look very mid-2000s, haha.

  • Sleepy days with Teddy

    Jump

  • Aww, it's like he's keeping his nose warm with his tail.

  • I think I did too much for my class assignment..

    Jump

  • I like it! And an impressive lack of javascript, too! :D At first I just assumed that the slide-in animation would be done by some javascript library. The CSS animation is nicely done.

  • If a Lemmy user has the same name as a community, how can I tag the community on Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Thank you! That's too bad.

  • If a Lemmy user has the same name as a community, how can I tag the community on Mastodon?

    Jump

  • That's interesting, I'll try to learn more about that.

    So, in this case, the community I was trying to post to was !vinyl@lemmy.world. There is also a user with that name on lemmy.world. If I search "vinyl@lemmy.world" on Mastodon, does that mean both of them should show up? And what would their names be? One would start with ! and the other start with @?

  • If a Lemmy user has the same name as a community, how can I tag the community on Mastodon?

    Jump

  • I think that's just a way of getting a link to the community, but it doesn't actually tag the community in your post or make it get posted into that community. I just tried it, and the post does not show up in the community that I mentioned with !.

  • Shenmue II

    Jump

  • If you close the program, you might lose information. Like information about sailors.

  • I resurfaced my table

    Jump

  • Looks great! Is that also another project leaning against the wall in the background?

    edit: also, !woodworking@lemmy.ca is a fairly active community if you're into woodworking.
