  • Are you a developer of both Lemmy and Jerboa? I just realized I think I've seen your name in both places. You are a freaking hard worker!!!

  • This is just my own take, but I feel like at least part of the reason they went back to releasing new versions is because of the recent resurgence of macOS. Not only do Macs have the excitement of Apple Silicon, but they have annual "new" OS releases; even if not much has changed, it creates excitement with their fanbase. I think Microsoft realized that it's not very exciting to just be on Windows 10 forever. So we got Windows 11.

  • I'm hoping it comes to the NSO service soon. Of course there's nothing wrong with emulating, but it would be cool to play it on the Switch too.

  • Amusing that Twitter's cease and desist notice claims that Meta is using its "trade secrets". Lmfao what trade secrets? Twitter has no unique technology or patents. Their whole business position is nothing more than first mover advantage for their format of social media.

    That's why they've never made money. They don't have any novel IP or "trade secrets" to leverage in the first place.

    Say what you want about Meta, but at least they have a whole ad platform that they created that competes with Google Ad Sense, and is an actual asset.

  • Trump already announced he is running in 2024. And so is Biden. Unfortunately, this is the absurd situation we are in. Out of all the 300M+ people in this country, we are going to have a choice between these same two fucking guys AGAIN.

    I had hoped at least the GOP candidate would be someone other than Trump, but it seems unlikely.

  • For anyone who isn't familiar, RBG was a liberal Supreme Court justice that was getting very old, and a lot of people thought she should have retired during Obama's term, where she could have been replaced by him. Some accuse her of stubbornness/hubris for not stepping down when it was "safe", and point out that her whole legacy is now being undone.

    Others point out that common wisdom at the time was that Hillary was going to he a shoe in as the next president, and nobody expected a Republican to win, including RBG.

    Anyway, I'm not taking a stance but just fleshing that out for anyone who is interested in the controversy.

  • Oh man that is so generous of you! I wish I had seen this earlier, but I already bought one locally off of Facebook marketplace. Donating it is a great idea though, especially if you can find some charity that works with kids. Rock on.

  • and piracy

    You mean all the backups that I have of PS3 games from the console I never had? ;)

  • My man.

  • Thank you! I hadn't thought about the pads; I'll be sure to do those too.

  • Worse--I think it belonged to a teenager.

  • Meanwhile, Nintendo be like "we are pleased with the Switch and have no plans" lol

  • All the basics still work with the online service, though you have to go through some extra steps to buy games on the PS3 store now.

    Wow, that's awesome. I'm so used to Nintendo's BS shutting down their last gen online stores, it's amazing that Sony is still supporting a store from 2 generations ago, extra steps or not.

  • I do own a PC, I don't know if it qualifies as good or not. It has integrated AMD graphics, but it's actually a pretty good little card (Ryzen 5 5600G). I'll see how it runs the emulator. 🤞

  • None of the games I want to play are on the PS+ classics collection, which is so strange. I don't understand why they wouldn't put Killzone on PS+ for example.

  • Good point, I didn't think about the degraded performance aspect. I guess if I did get one, I should look for one of the later revisions.

  • Same. And acquiring both is still more affordable than a high end gaming PC.

  • Man, it feels like Xbox just has such a hard time getting a steady game pipeline.

  • I'm not OP, but I started taking paroxetine (Paxil in the US) for social anxiety disorder in 2010. It took a few weeks for it to take effect, and I had some side effects for about 90 days. However, ever since then, I have had zero anxiety issues for the rest of my life, and I no longer have any side effects. I take 20mg once daily.

    I know SSRIs are a controversial topic, and some people don't like them, but for what it's worth, it changed my life for the better.
