Thank you (and thanks to everyone else who replied). I’m going to give this a shot.
It’s an absurd thing to say. I understand (and agree) that the U.S. should do more to stop Israel. In fact, I am personally for ceasing all aid to them until they get their country under control. However, I’m not a politician and can make such statements from the convenience of my own home without consequence. I’m not a leader of a democratic nation that itself sits on a knife’s edge between gridlocked governance and full on autocracy. Biden no doubt is weighing the next election in his decision making because he has to. The wrong choice will land a maniac back in the White House. To say he supports genocide is just provocateur nonsense.
From my childhood they say. God I’m old.
Just saying people don’t complain about ads in podcasts because they’re skippable.
Is this worth playing today?
“Biden fully supports the genocide.”
This disqualified anything this person had to say. If you believe this, you’re either a confused person or seeking to sow discord.
True story: Rambo was pivotal in helping the Mujahideen repel the Soviet Union from Afghanistan. They would later become Al Qaeda.
🎵This how we do-it🎵
I feel like that’s where it’s headed. Doesn’t matter what we’re talking about. A shining exception is private company Valve, which has proven time and again that it’s a model for how to treat customers.
I can skip through podcast ads with ease.
It’s also a way to pay for providing a service. We hate it, but short of everyone paying for YouTube, it’s how they make their money.
Now double dipping is where things get questionable. If you pay for a video service AND they run ads. /Ripley flaming eggsacs
Crazy people do this. It’s a gender neutral issue. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. Best you can do is not respond anymore than necessary with hope they’ll move on to the next person.
How dare you call me a child—
Going to throw it on while I do some work.
Ok…just saying, they may be fretting about competition, particularly in the AI business, and I’m just sharing 2 cents about what they’re doing. It really is better than ChatGPT/Co-pilot for this kind of thing imo.
But people can’t have opinions without others getting rude or butthurt about something. 🤣
Ideal would be a playlist you build and hit randomize. You pay for it. No commercials. I don’t think there’s a service that does this…
I like Gemini. It’s easily the best AI for rewriting things for social media that reflects my intent while sounding somewhat like me.
Ten was great. Yield was ok. Vitalogy was…bugs bugs bugs. Just keeps getting stranger.
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?

I want to switch back to a traditional 16:9 and looking for opinions on the best 27 inch monitor currently available. A lot of folks on Amazon seem to dig this one from AOC, but I've never bought anything other than Dell or LG over the years. It's inexpensive, that's for sure.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Apparently this is a remake of the 3DS version. I only played the NES version back in the day, and remember it being quite a surprise. What looked like a Double Dragon clone was a full on Action RPG. I hope this is similar, and there looks to be a kind of fighting game mode ("Double Dragon Duel") in addition to the main game. 😎
>Rashid of the Turbulent Wind makes his Street Fighter 6 debut on July 24. With a whirlwind of moves that will send him flying through each fight, Rashid leaves all opponents in the dust – unless they decide to Like and Subscribe.
>Rashid will be unlocked for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass on July 24 - by proxy, this also means anyone with the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition!
>Street Fighter 6 is now available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
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 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 !
I have a 3080 ti w/ 16 GB of RAM and an 4+ ghz processor. It generally chews through any game at the moment and I was wondering what if any mods exist for Fallout 4 that can improve upon the base game in a way that makes it feel more modern/exciting. I've done some Googling and found some modifications for things like weather, lighting, and blood. Anyone recommend one or more mods?
