Games@sh.itjust.works•Roblox is a problem — but it’s a symptom of something worseEnglish
421·2 months agoThe very idea of a user-generated content free-to-play MMO for children with whack-a-mole moderation is totally bananas. Even good whack-a-mole moderation would be a bananas design.
I’m okay with little kids online gaming, but it needs to be in content that has been approved by a responsible adult in a setting where either adults are actively supervising or the children are on a server where we know everybody who’s in there.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•One of Silicon Valley's most prominent techbros is giving lectures on the Antichrist -- and he thinks it's the PopeEnglish
20·2 months agoIsn’t the antichrist supposed to be a charismatic leader?

Technology@lemmy.world•In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeksEnglish
1·2 months agoGeforce 3060, and yes. Sometimes my primary screen gets locked at my secondary screen’s framerate. The whole OS is especially wonky after wake from sleep, I often have to restart Firefox and Cinnamon after wake. WebGL things in Firefox are especially finicky. The panel-applet-spice things are horrendously single-threaded, some of lock the whole UI regularly.
I’m going to try some other Debian-based OS in the hopes that this is just Mint+Cinnamon and not the state-of-the-art.

31·2 months agoI tried Mint and it’s just too buggy to use.

Canada•Pushing, yelling from Conservative leadership ‘sealed the deal’ on defection: d’EntremontEnglish
71·2 months agoIt’s almost like letting freaks take over your political movement can drive away normal people.
A pleasant reversal from the usual situation. Like, all the regulations that sandbag against housing are municipal, which can only be overridden by the provinces.

worldnews@sh.itjust.works•Israel Tortured And Sexually Humiliated Greta ThunbergEnglish
19·3 months agoShe’s been a public figure for more than her whole adult life. If she were a habitual liar it’d already have come up.

Canada•What are some physical items that should be available at libraries for people to borrow?English
10·3 months agoVarious detectors you use when trying to debug a problem – ethernet testers, decibel meter, battery discharge tester, thermal camera, wifi and cellular signal analyzers, air quality testers, radon detectors (edit: hah of course this is what article is about), stud finders, etc.
Overly-specific tools – ethernet crimpers, obscure driver bits.
Lemmy blocking is worthless anyways it’s just a mute

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Florida GOP Legislator Files Bill Threatening to Defund Colleges Unless They Rename Roads After Charlie KirkEnglish

I’m loving the idea of the transphobic Mitch McConnell voters of Kentucky realizing that their state’s only products are bourbon and sadness and we stopped buying bourbon.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Dave Chappelle Criticizes Free Speech in America at Saudi Arabia Comedy FestivalEnglish
12·3 months agoYou can’t make observational comedy about being a young and hungry comedian/writer when you’ve spent the last decade being wealthy and out-of-touch.
If he was still clever, he probably could’ve threaded the transphobia needle and either figured a way to make it right or made it so funny that enough people would enjoy it regardless. But now he’s cranky and spoiled by success so he’s just going to get angry, which is even less funny.
If you’re making a programming platform and the only debugging tool you provide to developers is console logging, you’re a monster.
yaml pipelines/actions I’m looking in your direction.

Games@lemmy.world•Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licensesEnglish
10·3 months agoExcept if you bought the game you still own a copy, they’re just not allowed to sell new copies.
It was already public to anybody willing to put in the work and extract the data.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”English
491·3 months agoRight? The collective dismissal of Mastodon from leftist influencers when the Muskening happened was eye opening.
Like, there’s a collaborative, volunteer-based platform right over there. You want mutual aid? Open-source is as mutual-aid as it gets.
But it’s nerd shit.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Emma Watson's so typical of the entitled generation who think they're right about everything - like the young woman who rolled her eyes at me the other dayEnglish
7·3 months agoWait, sources are supposed to be credible? I thought the joke was “yes this is an article in an actual* newspaper that is so absurd it seems like it could be satirical”
*for a certain definition of “actual”
