DevBlog #54: Post engine rework bug-fixing
  • Schamppu take my energy ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

  • New Steam Console Powered by RDNA 4 Might Be in the Works at Valve
  • Gonna copy what I said before:

    is this trust worthy?

    Extasis mentions this guy handledeck as the source

    https://xcancel.com/HandleDeck/status/1886501899832021224#m

    which links to this video

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgKzbHIWDK4

    which just mentions this article https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-25.0-RADV-RDNA4-State

    saying: "by reading this article carefully we can come up to the conclusion that..."

    Seems all bullshit.

  • As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders
  • That's what they are saying too (although Apple's, not FOSS), as directly copying text is getting obscure, to the point where OCR makes it easier than trying to directly copy text

  • As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders
  • I think it's specifically about copying text from PDFs, which seems to have gotten harder and harder as time went on

  • Study.com leaving AI prompts in their "facts"

    Was just looking up a song on the radio as we were talking about it. Seems like they forgot to remove a part of the prompt before pasting it

  • Damn, I'll see myself out for being too confidently wrong.. Here's my cat tax:

  • Is there an android app that allows user tagging, potentially for free?
  • Thanks! Replying from Thunder now. First impressions are great!

  • Neighborhood watch
  • Gelderland! I'll preemptively guess round 3: Arnhem!

  • Is there an android app that allows user tagging, potentially for free?

    I love Sync for how it feels and looks, but user tagging is locked behind premium. In short, I don't have enough confidence in the app's future to invest in premium.

    So I was wondering what apps are available, whether paid or free, that allows me to flag users like trolls, bad faith reactionaries and the like? Thanks in advance.

    Edit: didn't realize so many different apps offered it, seems like I've been in a real bubble. Thanks everyone, will give them a go and see what suits me best!

    Trump announces US plan to 'own' and develop the Gaza strip – video
  • All good, I was more confused than anything. Being a mod for US related things is quite the challenge at the moment. Thanks for your service.

  • Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’
  • It depends on the local laws where the instance is hosted. If you would be committing a crime according to their local laws, instance owners would either have to remove your content or risk getting it forcefully removed by the "feds", or whatever that country's equivalent is.

    Edit to add:

    Of course, removing content is preferred, but if it becomes uncontrollable it might just be nuked

    Second edit:

    I read a bit too fast, I apologize. My comment is about users, not instance owners/admins. I refer to the reply you got from Admiral Patrick to fit your comment better.

  • Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’
  • We will. If Lemmy users start inciting violence or commit other crimes, instance owners will need to crack down on them, or risk losing their instance.

    The only thing we got going for us is that Lemmy isn't in the spotlight (yet).

    “But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

    And you're an instance admin, yikes. Do better.

  • Neighborhood watch
  • Thought the same, license plates confirms it ;)

  • [ColmsComics] Shoplifting
  • Thank you I just read the whole thing and that was the funniest shit I've read all year

  • Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned
  • I'm sorry but inciting violence gets any instance nuked, broligarch or federated.

    Just read this:

    Some of the screenshots say: "Muskrat’s DOGE Henchmen have been identified," "It's time to do more than dragging names, let's drag their necks up by a large coil of rope," "Time to hunt," "I’ll say it. This nazi stooge needs to be shot," and other comments sharing a similar sentiment.

    Now of course we can gloat that Reddit is bending the knee, but if a Lemmy instance was big enough to attract the same attention, exactly the same thing would have happened. No instance owner wants their whole instance get nuked by feds because the users of the instance are inciting violence.

  • Nintendo's financial results: Switch at 150.86 million units sold
  • The 3DS still sold 10 million units after the Switch launched, so it's not impossible. One could argue the Switch is the successor to both 3DS and Wii U, but it's hard to compare. If they price it right and try to clear stock, I think they can totally do it. Would also be something to brag about, but then again it's not really Japanese business culture to brag, so maybe that's not the biggest motivator for them.

  • How can you explain a smell you've never smelled before?
  • Does the smell change with temperature or airflow? That might give clues as to whether it’s embedded in materials or something in the air itself.

    Discord now sending notifications for emoji reactions to your messages

    I know some folks that chronically don't reply but react with emoji, so at least I'll get a notification now.

    I can also see this becoming really annoying if you announce something in a large community and you get notified.

    > NOTE: Reaction notifications are currently an experimental feature limited to a select number of desktop and mobile users.

    Itch.io back online

    itch.io Download the latest indie games

    itch.io is a simple way to find, download and distribute indie games online. Whether you're a developer looking to upload your game or just someone looking for something new to play itch.io has you covered.

    No update about this yet, but they have added info about how to edit your hosts file to get access:

    > We're probably going to wait this one out. We considered putting up a new domain but there are implications with third party services that make it not a trivial swap. In the meantime, if you know how to tweak your hosts file use: 45.33.107.166

    If you did this, don't forget to remove it again:

    > ⚠️ If you do edit your hosts file, please remember to remove all the lines after domain is restored. > > Although we typically hold an IP for a while, it can change if we update our back-end infrastructure.

    Game forces you to accept selling your info to vendors before you can use it

    If you hit "next", the consent window opens again and if you refuse any of them, you get put back at this screen so you're stuck in a loop.

    This shitty practice is even endorsed by Google, as they are promoting this game to try out and earn points.

    Edit: game is called Jewel Gold Empire: Match 3 and it's from some Korean company it seems: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.penta.empire.google

    Obviously I uninstalled it immediately after

    Supreme Court top advisor backs F-35 parts ban for Israel

    The Dutch ban on exporting spare parts for F35 fighter jets to Israel can remain in place, the Supreme Court’s most senior legal advisor said on Friday.

    Summary

    The Dutch ban on exporting F-35 fighter jet spare parts to Israel can remain, according to the Supreme Court’s senior legal advisor. Advocate general Paul Vlas stated the appeal court was “justified in concluding that there is a clear risk that Israel’s use of F-35 fighter jets could lead to serious violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.” The export of military goods must be prohibited under international agreements if such a risk exists.

    NGOs Oxfam Novib, Pax Nederland, and The Rights Forum filed a complaint, arguing that exporting U.S.-owned F-35 parts stored at Woensdrecht air base makes the Netherlands complicit in war crimes in Gaza. A lower court initially rejected the complaint, but an appeal court ruled in February that the risk of serious violations of humanitarian law is undeniable. Although the advocate general’s opinion is not binding, it is often followed. The Supreme Court will decide soon.

    What's the difference between filtering and blocking?

    I generally browse "new" a few times to find new and interesting content, but this also means I will encounter a bunch of things I'm not interested in or simply don't understand, i.e. a regional community from another country.

    I can use the filter option to filter the instance, community or user, but if you navigate to the community you can also hit "block".

    What's the difference between these two, functionally?

    Official description: Dungeon Clawler is a Roguelike Claw Machine Deckbuilder. Build your deck, grab weapons and items from the claw machine to battle enemies, discover powerful perks that create game-changing synergies and unleash crazy combos as you fight your way through the dungeon!

    My take: I played the demo earlier this year and it was a blast. I'm really enjoying the "roguelite with a gameplay twist" fad at the moment with Ballionaire, Balatro, Solitairica, and now Dungeon Clawler.

    The name of the game is absolutely not SEO-friendly, although it's a good name it's incredibly hard to find with search engines for some people. (Especially because Google likes to show you what Google thinks you are looking for, as opposed to what you are saying you're looking for)

    At €/$ 8.99 (10% launch discount) this game is almost a steal. It's also on mobile for €/$ 4.99
