Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
  • Oh okay well if you've not had an issue then it can't be one.

    Honestly, what is wrong with the people left on lemmy, why is everyone like this. There was a few months there where you could talk and have a conversation. Then all the good people left and we just get.... this.

  • Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods
  • On lemmy? Yes. And the small nature of it makes it obvious. But lemmy also goes for the negative outrage stuff more than things of interest, and it's smaller, so like I was saying. One person making the same post to a bunch of communities makes it stand out a lot,.

    Honestly, I think it's probably just time to delete the app. Lemmy isn't what I hoped it would be. We'll it was at first and for a good few months. But eventually the good people move away.

  • Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods
  • I think the thing that bothers me most about lemmys whirlwind of negativity about everything is that you get people like op, that find something they want to spread negativity about, then they post it to a bunch of communities.

    Lemmy is small, so you see this one thing over and over and over again. It's so tiring.

    I get that this kind of stuff isn't something to be positive about, I'm just getting so tired of lemmy. At least reddit didn't have a constant stream of negativity. Multiplexed through every subreddit.

    I'm convinced it's this kind of thing that's killing the entire thing. You can't build communities on this, so there's less and less people looking every day. I know I look at lemmy a lot less than I used to.

  • Secure Operating Systems (Microkernels seems to be the future)
  • I think we have different definitions of security. Your definition may be more theoretically secure, in your mind, for the novel and interesting solutions. My definition is about a hardened, time-tested solution.

  • Secure Operating Systems (Microkernels seems to be the future)
  • I feel like a lot of this is driven by a bias towards the unknown. You don't know all the security issues in something new or even something old that doesn't get the same level of testing as Linux.

    I would trust security hardened Linux over all of the suggestions any day of the week. Better the devil you know.

  • What happened to the Duolingo icon?
  • Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.

  • Apple will start allowing emulators on the iOS App Store
  • Yes, op is a little confused.

    • Browsers (were, still are in many regions) forbidden from using any engine other than the iOS provided webkit.
    • Dynamic recompilation is not possible on iOS because of how iOS does code signing. This basically blocks the entire concept of executing instructions that weren't part of the original signed code.
  • Google Is Killing Retro Dodo & Other Independent Sites
  • It's a shame to see someone taking the side of big business over a small independent. Google has an effective monopoly on search, they take the content of sites and present it as their own, they also rarely do a good job of fighting SEO to show you things you actually want to see, this is likely a result of SEO winning rather than these guys.

    You're celebrating the big guy and telling the little guy to just live with it. Whoes going to make content when they are all gone.

  • 2023 Data Shows Most People Are Playing Older Games
  • I really don't like the conclusions of this at all. People who play new games pick up the game for a month, play it, and move on. It's okay and a sign of a healthy industry.

    People who play these specific games are just playing the one game they play. People aren't picking new games over old games. The results just have obvious bias that the news organisations are not picking up on

  • German state moving 30,000 PCs to LibreOffice
  • This is great news, but it is always worth remembering the ebb and flow of these things. It happens because an individual cared. Eventually, that individual won't be in the decision-making process, and the office will likely come back. At least it usually goes thst way.

  • Could Xbox Soon Become The Next Dreamcast?
  • This isn't really what happened with the dreamcast. It didn't sell well, and more importantly, it didn't sell well enough to cover the cost of making new dreamcasts. Sega well supported the system, but could not afford to stay in the hardware business.

  • The Best Game Animation of 2023 - YouTube

    I look forward to this video every year. An industry animator talks about the best animation found in last year's games. There are always lots of games I've never heard of, and I end up appreciating something about a game that I've never thought about before.

    Only ever released briefly on vhs, then later on dvd in Spain for some reason, comes The Midnight Hour. A teenage Halloween party that turns deadly and bursts into song!

    also starring Le Var Burton! It's a really fun Halloween movie that I try to watch every year, even if the quality is terrible

    Frogs (1972) - "It's the day that NATURE strikes back!"

    Okay, there aren't actually that many frogs in this movie. But there is always a vague croaking sound in the background track so that counts right?

    Night Killer (1990)

    From Claudio Fragasso (yes, the Trolls 2 guy) comes Night Killer. If you're looking for 93 minutes of awkward dialogue and acting, this has it in troves. Claudio Fragasso has such a unique ability to take mediocre actors and make them so much worse
