Ah yes, the famously communist Russian Federation. The RF is nakedly an imperial fascist regime that doesn’t even have communist window dressing, it boggles the mind that self-proclaimed communists and anti-imperialists support them.

  • The radiation emitted by coal power plants is well documented, raising Cancer rates in the surrounding areas. And that's the normal operation, not a large scale accident like Chernobyl.

  • I feel boring - only thing I ever had to realize that if you work with solvents with a boiling point close to body temperature and have them in a flask with a glass cork, you shouldn't hold the flask in your warm hands while waiting - because after a few minutes the glass cork flies off and you have to pay for it 😕

  • UK Jewish groups call on government to prevent Hasan Piker from entering the country

  • The shit the US has been pulling around the world starting decades before 9/11 might have been the reason someone wanted to punch back at the bully.

    But I do not agree regarding Crimea.

  • I hate Nazis and their hate.

    I don't have an issue with Jews.

    I don't have an issue with the existence of Israel.

    I DO have an issue with Zionists who take what is not theirs, who kill to further their goals, and who manipulate for furthering their Agenda.

    That guy seems to share my views.

  • What ever happened to Ipecac? Why is it rarely used today, there was some side effects but not to warrant most hospitals to abruptly stop the use of it.

    Jump

  • Aspiration is one of the main ways to die in a hospital, regardless of quality. After aspiration, lung inflammation often follows quickly if you are already weakened. Also, if you're weakened, you will probably have not much strength to cough hard enough to clear your airways.

  • What do you like to collect?

    Jump

  • Fitgirl releases of everything rated "mostly positive" or above on Steam (Fitgirl because I don't care about extraction time, but storage comes at a premium these days)

  • Removed Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • Regarding the Alt-text: if that is a messy room, there is a hole on my vocabulary where the word for my current surroundings should be.

  • Ukraine Just Hit Moscow Harder Than Ever | Preston Stewart - Youtube (Invidious link)

    Jump

  • Most can be controlled in real time - I suspect that single operators move drone swarms in the area in tandem with recon drone operators, and when in the target zone, the team either takes direct control of singular units for precision strikes, or image recognition guides drones that are hit by electronic countermeasures and can't be manually controlled.

    But the payload for different targets will vary, so I suspect that strikes on AA are not adhoc decisions.

  • Help me choose a <€70 controller with Linux compatibility. 🙏️

    Jump

  • I own the Speedlink Rait NX RGB, which works fine under Fedora.

    TMR, Transparent RGB, 2.4GHz, dirt cheap and good build quality. Even has 2 programmable macro buttons on the back, no software needed.

  • I'd rather try and give baby Hitler a nice comfortable life with an understanding mentor, so that he never develops the hatred and closemindedness needed for the implementation of the Holocaust.

  • 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market

    Jump

  • I upgraded my PC just in time last year before pricing went bonkers. Stayed on my AM4 board, upgraded to 64GB DDR4, swapped my ageing 2600x to an 5950x with 32 cores, snatched a 5070 to expand my smallish VRam, upgraded storage to a total of 43TB.

    I'm still in the market for 4 8-16TB HDDs, since I have a very nice NAS standing in a corner. But I will probably opt for used drives with the current prices.

    Next PC upgrade is the first time in a long while I have to actually replace the whole PC, but I'll ride out this Madness first.

  • Videogame pirates tell other pirates to shut up about it after Subnautica 2 developers are taunted with illicit copies

    Jump

  • It's similar with me. I have pirated games starting with my Amiga 500 in the early 90s, and still pirate today. But I am also one of the best costumers the game industry has (except in the categories MTX and cash-grab DLC, and I am very careful with early access titles). I own around 2500 games legit (not counting Systems other than PC), and nearly all of those games started as a pirated copy. Without pirating I would never be able to decide which games are worth my money and time.

    If a game isn't well rated, I won't pirate it, and if it can't hold my attention, I delete it. If it's my cup of tea, I wait until the price point is where I perceive it as fair for the offering. That can be full price on day one too if is good! BG3, Nier Automata, Witchfire, Prey 2016 and a very long list of other games all got what they asked for.

    If I see that a game is flawed, but the devs are actively working on making their game as good as it deserves to be (it helps if they have a good track record), I also tend to pay close to full price. If fixes come slowly or erratically, or they abandoned a game in an unfinished state before, I only buy after it is fixed, heavily discounted, or not at all.

  • ‘You’ll hold out for a while’: Silicon Valley now pushing to implant chip in your brain, knows you’ll give in eventually

    Jump

  • Sure. Because we haven't learned a thing in the last two decades regarding enshittification, rent-seeking and anti-costumer behavior of Tech Corpos, we will all line up to combine those traits with something that sits in our brains.

    Should we get to the point where severe brain injuries can be healed without any remaining neurological deficits in a few days, we can revisit this discussion. Before that, everyone lining up for that is already braindead and has no risk of losing mental capacity.

    Jump

  • No man's sky is an ocean wide and a puddle deep. It's a lot better than before, but the core gameplay couldn't impress me then, and it still can't now.

    Cyberpunk is ... An experience. I played it day one, was bummed about the state of things and dropped it for years. I came back with 2.0, and it is like a different game. It's stable, looks great, has so much atmosphere that you can nearly taste it and plays smoothly.

    And if you liked modding Skyrim, this thing is a great buy. If it's on sale, give it a try, you won't be disappointed, I promise.

    Jump

  • I liked it, but tbh, as long as you have to work with shutter glasses or similar stuff it will never reach wide adoption.

  • We're inching closer to the Steam Frame release with a SteamOS Manager update

    Jump

  • I never was very hyped about VR, but the Steam Deck has liberated me from my office chair, and I suspect the frame will be an extension of this freedom for me. As soon as I can pre-order one, I will. I've been saving my money for this thing since the first announcement.

  • Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California

    Jump

  • It actually requires a pivot, because if you want to account for making a game playable at end-of-life, you normally have to plan that from the start, to make sure the game is structured in a way that allows for easy switching. If all you plan is actually to turn off the servers, well, that's the current situation.

    Making sure the game ends gracefully means either releasing dedicated server binaries, implementing P2P (or Splitscreen) multiplayer or disabling multiplayer, and repurposing/rebalancing previously online content to work in the new setting. That's not easy to do if you never wasted a thought on those things in development, especially with a skeleton crew of developers which have been working on other stuff for years at this point.

    Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see this legislation come into effect, but even I have to acknowledge that a game that has been worked on for years and goes live in January 2027 is probably not designed for this.
