  • FYI you can actually safely lick all mushrooms that we know off. The bad ones will taste bitter if there's every a confusion between the species. Though if you're really unsure don't risk it.

    Also she's apparently Ana Reyes confirmed as first LGBTQ federal judge in D.C..

    Besides this work, for more than a decade Ana has devoted significant time to her pro bono representations of asylum seekers and refugee organizations, including numerous appellate matters for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and impact litigation for Human Rights First,

    Lmao, somehow I don't believe this. It's incredibly ironic that she helped people fearing bad government and now she is protecting bad government. What a dunce.

    Also she was nominated by Biden which is the most perplexing fact:

    Reyes’ Senate confirmation came nine months after Biden submitted her nomination in May 2022.

    GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

    Rockstar's highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto sequel set in Vice City will be out in 2025

    I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

    Mortal Kombat 1 Has Sold Nearly 3 Million Units in 2 Months. Will focus ion 3-4 year release cycles and live service

    techraptor.net Warner Bros. Will Focus on Live Services as Hogwarts Legacy Fans Play for 700 Million Hours to Date

    Today, during Warning Bros' conference call, chief executive officer David Zaslav talked about Mortal Kombat 1 and the company's gaming business.

    Warner Bros. Will Focus on Live Services as Hogwarts Legacy Fans Play for 700 Million Hours to Date

    Most interesting part of the article:

    > "Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC-based with 3-4 year release schedules to include more always-on gameplay through live services, multiplatform, and free-to-play extensions, with the goal of having more players spending more time on more platforms. U

    > Ultimately, we want to drive engagement and monetization over longer cycles and at higher levels where per specific capabilities we're currently under scale, and see significant opportunity to generate greater post-purchase revenue"

    What a major turn-off ngl.

    Meta is about to roll out ad-free subscriptions on Instagram and Facebook. But critics say privacy should not be turned into a luxury.

    Facebook Finally Puts a Price on Privacy: It’s $10 a Month

    Ad free Facebook and Instagram is officially on. I'm trying to stay open minded but honestly it's too expensive especially with this sneaky account center rule unless you're in an unfortunate position where you need to spend a lot of time on these platforms.

    Meta announces always online DRM for all existing and future Quest VR devices

    mixed-news.com Meta introduces new anti-piracy measures for Meta Quest 2

    Meta introduces a new API that performs hardware and application checks, targeting piracy among other things.

    Meta introduces new anti-piracy measures for Meta Quest 2

    Meta sneakily introduced "Platform Integrity Attestation API" which basically calls home to see whether the user has a valid license to play.

    This means that to run apps user has to have online connection to perform an integrity test. Whether it's only a test on launch or continues call home like Denuvo-like DRMs is not yet clear. This could also mean that modified headsets could fail to pass this test essentially closing down the device for modifications that could damage "platform integrity". Not all details are clear yet but this doesn't look good.

    Currently it's optional and up to app developers to enable it.

    Pulsar Timing Arrays expected to be a part of the big physics announcement on June 28/29th. Here's what they are.

    So, apparently Pulsar Timing Arrays work and something important was discovered that'll be announced in few days.

    This might sound like a bunch of space-nothing but just like radio waves, discovering gravitation waves could open up a lot of new posibilities in space observation. Though, in practice producing gravitation waves takes absurd amounts of energy so we'll not be applying this on earth any time soon.

    YSK about Hermit - app that turns web pages to native apps. Works great with Fediverse apps!

    hermit.chimbori.com Hermit • Lite Apps Browser

    Native apps eating up battery and slowing down your phone? Switch to Lite Apps.

    Android browsers can already add pages to home screen but Hermit takes this even futher.

    It has significantly better UX with frameless and full screen modes. You can bookmark pages, so on Lemmy you can quickly bookmark community in specific sorting order. There are user scripts and blockers and loads of customization. You can even add push notifications for changes on the site or RSS feed.

    I've been running most Fediverse web apps through Hermit and it works really well! The only exception is that I couldn't figure out how to setup notifications on Mastodon.

    Any way to disable new posts appearing in the timeline? The constant layout shift is making the whole UX unbearable.
