Yeah, there’s lots of places with rampant toxicity. I was just comparing reddit and lemmy, and I consider the Federated nature of lemmy to help prevent (not necessarily stop) toxicity from growing.

I’m not an expert on this whole Federated thing, but to me, it sounds like if one community is having problems with another, they can just disassociate and not have to deal with it anymore.

True, but Reddit had the right conditions for toxicity to grow and begin to run rampant. Lemmy, with its decentralized nature, should limit the spread of any toxic communities.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

Animal Cruelty is basically every K9 Unit’s motto.

But my Maga coworker just told me she wants to make everything more expensive! Now I don’t know who to believe; you both sound equally sensible. /s

I always turned them off, unless I was just going to eat dinner and couldn’t save. The lasers for old systems like the PS2 and Sega Saturn have a longevity, and will wear out over time. I’d rather not speed that up since I plan on keeping them around. I was also scolded for wasting electricity growing up, so that is burned into my habits as well.

Not to defent the corporate dystopia, but usually to qualify for whatever kind of insurance these companies have, they are required by the insurance company to drug test. At least, that’s how it is at the company I work for. If they don’t drug test, the company is held liable for anything the employee does, and insurance won’t cover it.

I remember when this happened. I think it’s wild that she is still being detained for it.

Another reason why I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy.

Like, literal skeletons? Or metephorical ones? Either way, I’m pretty sure we’ll find both

It’s almost as if being publicly traded is bad for the stability and longevity of a company. Who would have thought?

[Disclaimer: I only read the headline]

Governments should not be measured in “value” of any financial aspect, but rather the quality of living of the citizens they govern. Electing a leader of questionable human rights morals would be a disaster.

I would assume so. I would also think a lot of people just aren’t comfortable consuming something that they can’t see.

I very specifically remember the controversy 15-20 years ago when it was found that many of these pouches had mold in them, and you couldn’t see it because of the pouch or even taste it. I’m sure the quality control since then has improved, but any time I see a pouch of juice, I think about that mold incident.

Also the triggers have way too much resistance.

The Edge has 3 “distance” settings for R2 and L2. I moved mine to the shortest setting since I was getting trigger fatigue from Final Fantasy XIV.

I use a DS Edge exclusively for PC gaming, and I have for a while now. Through Steam, the back pedals, touch-pad buttons, PS button, and microphone button are all customizable to be any button input you want. I have them on a per-game profile basis, where some games like Elden Ring I map them to be a second O-button so it’s less awkward to run, where others I have them bound to keyboard inputs or macros.

Now the question will be: How long until emulation of these console-locked games is viable?

If you aren’t ready to fully commit to installing it on a hard drive, you could probably make a live USB stick of Linux. There are installers built to run on windows that will install Linux onto a USB drive, which you can boot from after turning off your PC. That way, you don’t need to worry about wiping or resetting an old computer just to see if you like it.

Unfortunately, most Windows users are not tech savy and will never move to Linux, regardless of how user-friendly Linux becomes. It would take large-scale retailers switching their computers to have Linux pre-installed instead of Windows before any meaningful transition happens.

I saw the headline and thought that “Steering Wheel Manager” was another one of the dumb simulation games flooding Steam. Guess it’s not.
