  • Yakuza: Like a Dragon is Now DRM free on GOG.

    Jump

  • Yep! I had the same reaction.

    I was so close to buying it during the last sale and then realized it had Denuvo and noped outta that sale real quick.

    I don't know why Sega is so hellbent on putting Denuvo in so many of their releases... and then takes FOREVER to remove it, if they ever do.

    Ugh...

  • Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?

    Jump

  • This is seriously awesome! Thank you for suggesting this.

    I have added a small amount of area around my city but this will make it much easier to fill in the gaps.

  • Silent anger*

    Jump

  • Yep! Listen to the wise words of Bobandy.

    IrfanView is a mainstay on my PC since I came across it years ago along with SumatraPDF.

  • Where's the feel of the old Internet gone, and what sites do you use?

    Jump

  • Asking the REAL questions!!! Lol

  • Thank you for this! I have been plowing through your links throughout the day. I found some fantastic stuff and a rush of nostalgia.

  • Scrubbing My Reddit Account

    Jump

  • Nope! That is not enough.

    I want to edit every single comment or post that I ever made and replace it with a single word or phrase. Then I want to delete my account and disassociate everything.

    If you delete your account by regular means, if someone has a direct link, they can still view what was originally posted.

    That is why I want to edit everything beforehand so if someone does happen to figure out a direct link they will not see what I originally posted.

    I haven't posted anything bad. It's certainly overkill. I don't ever intend to be Doxxed (Does anyone?), but if someone ever gained access to my Reddit history they could learn quite a lot about me.

    If I can run a simple program or script to tidy things up then I might as well.

    I imagine I will be doing this within the next couple of weeks.

  • Scrubbing My Reddit Account

    Jump

  • That looks really nice. It looks quite thorough as it handles many different services, though I am disappointed it's not open source.

    I know that I had seen some open source programs or scripts that people used in the past. I believe when I checked them out they were hosted on GitHub, but I have long forgotten what they were.

    Regardless it looks like this program will absolutely do the job, but I'm going to hold out for a few days and see if there any other suggestions.

    Thanks for the help!

  • Is there an app that includes most of the popular corners of the 'Fediverse'?

    Jump

  • There is Fedilab on the F-droid store that supports Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed and Friendica.

    Thats all that I am aware of.

  • Scumm VM adds support for Freescape (Driller / Dark Side / Total Eclipse etc)

    Jump

  • I'm going to have to look into this. Hopefully it also plays Castle master, which I believe runs on the same engine.I had that game on my Atari St and loved it!

  • I did this a few weeks ago, and should have done it years ago.

    I had a HD full of movies but kept putting it off because I expected to have to set aside a day to install Jellyfin and figure everything out (I'm lazy... lol), but it only ended up taking about 10 minutes! I had zero issues with the installation.

    Over the last few weeks I have been making small tweaks to how my collection is organized. I also installed the Roku apps on all the TVs in the house and the kids love it. Jellyfin is the way!

  • Screw that! Months ago I realized just how much I watch YouTube and how much of my time was wasted watching ads.

    I bought a cheap tiny computer to use as a settop box. It hooks rght into my TV. Firefox + Ublock Orign and now i am watching YouTube ad free.

    Since, I have set up Jellyfin on the same pc and have my hard drive full of movies streaming to all TVs in the house with a netflix like interface.

    Seriously. Getting A small PC as a dedicated set-top box Is the best decision I have made in a long time.

  • Element (Matrix) adds video chat rooms

  • These are some excellent sounding features! Can't wait to try them out.

  • Those are some memories! I don't really have an answer to your question but thought I would share some of my own experiences.

    I remember toying around with edonkey 2000 back in the day, but it was slow and I had dial up. I don't believe I ever tried emule.

    Direct Connect was really interesting, but as you said, search was somewhat limited.

    I think I enjoyed Direct Connect because it was like the thrill of the hunt. You never really knew what you were going to find. I remember spending hours just combing through people's share folders and finding all sorts of crazy things.

    I also remember there was a decent anime community on there. I remember downloading tons of it.

    I personally had better results with Kazaa. I used it for a couple of years and then moved to Sharaza and Ares.

    Sharaza was a good catchall that searched or utilized multiple networks like Gnutella, Gnutella 2, bit torrent etc. It replaced multiple p2p programs for me.

    Ares had its own network, I believe. I remember being able to find tons of stuff on there that I could not find on other networks. I also liked the fact that it could have irc style rooms that you could set up, join, and share.

    Ares was really unique and I would probably still be using it if Bit torrent did not fulfill my needs.

    Having said all that. Emule sounds like it had some great ideas and it's sad to see they were not developed further.

  • A relatively comprehensive list and gallery of 2D barcodes

    Jump

  • Thats quite a few different codes. Some, like HCCB, I had completely forgotten about.

  • Study finds plastic particles no bigger than sesame seeds buried throughout human lungs of people undergoing surgery, indicating that people are inhaling microplastics lingering in the air.

    Jump

  • My sentiments exactly!

    I fear all we can really do is try to educate people and hope they change their ways. Unfortunately this is not realistic from what I have seen. I talked about it constantly and I've had absolutely zero success.

    Now many of my family members start to buy or use something plastic when a perfectly good alternative is available to them. They look over at me and say 'I hope this doesn't make you mad...'

    They are literally more concerned with what I think rather than the seemingly unavoidable outcome of their plastic addiction.

  • Is Lemmur dead?

    Jump

  • I was wondering the same thing. I was having issues with Lemmur and decided to log out and log back in. Unfortunately, when I log in it never fully loads. The circle just spins and spins and never logs me in. I even reinstalled the app but no luck.

    It hasn't been updated in months. It's a shame as I thought it was an incredibly slick and aesthetically pleasing app. If it ever gets updated I'll certainly come back, but in the meantime I'll stick with the less slick looking but much more functional Jerboa.

  • Lemmy is not ideologically diverse. Thoughts?

    Jump

  • I understand what you are saying. Echo Chambers are absolutely dangerous.

    People need to be exposed to views that don't necessarily align with theirs. That way they can expand their viewpoint.

    Having said that, this is just one site among many. Not every website has to hold multiple views. Taking the internet as a whole, there are a variety of websites that people can get differing opinions and viewpoints.

    Now that I think about it, it sounds good in theory but I know many far-right people that don't attempt to look for alternative sources. They just keep delving down the same Rabbit Hole instead of looking for differing views. So you might be on to something.

  • Offline QR Code possibility?

    Jump

  • Ha! Yeah. When said like that it does sound kind of funny.

    I understand what you are saying, but this is to make it discreet. This way people don't exactly know what it is until they scan it.

    Basically I posted some flyers around work and got quite a rise out of everyone. When management found them they tore them all down.

    There are QR codes all over the factory that I work at. So I wanted something that could blend in. Something that I could deploy on the back of stall doors in the bathrooms and on the sides of machinery and equipment that employees would discover over time and management would have a hell of a time finding them all.

    Then when they think they have found them all I can go back and slap stickers on everything again.

    My current QR code is linking to a telegram channel for employees to join, but I really wanted something with some permanence. So that's why I was hoping I could encode information directly into a QR code and not just a URL.

  • Offline QR Code possibility?

    Jump

  • What do you mean the opening text? Like the credits? All the animator names and stuff?

    That is a decent amount of info. My issues so far has been the formatting of the text.

    I downloaded a new camera app that is geared towards QR scanning. Someone suggested it in this thread. Perhaps it would have better results and fewer issues with formatting.

    Thanks for the info!

  • Offline QR Code possibility?

    Jump

  • That looks excellent!

    It does not look like it is on the F-Droid store but I'll check out your Google Play link. Thanks a lot.
