Tears Of The Kingdom Was Pirated 1 Million Times, Nintendo Claims In Lawsuit
  • Forgive me if I say that might sound like a biased take.

    Personally, leaving aside the legal argument of piracy, I would be fine with paying Nintendo the money but playing on my steam deck and having stuff like steam input and having my save games for future PCs. I haven't played TotK yet but the 90+ hours I put in BotW is locked to the switch which I sold after getting a steam deck. I don't care for high end PC performance.

  • Tears Of The Kingdom Was Pirated 1 Million Times, Nintendo Claims In Lawsuit
  • What a weird hill to die on.

    How can someone else's experience and enjoyment of something differ from my own criteria?!

    Not least because switch was old hardware when it launched, it's aged hardware at this point, and equivalent games on other platforms have far better performance.

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp
  • It's certainly different, but for signal users who want to maintain that level of privacy, it's probably something they want, right? From their perspective this is probably a good decision.

    I'm indifferent because I'd personally rather have interoperability and Beeper gets the job done.

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp
  • I'm indifferent, since I've got both installed, there's no escaping having to use WhatsApp in many countries around the globe. If I want to keep in touch with family/friends then only one or two contacts use signal, for everyone else it's WhatsApp or the alternative is SMS.

    I'm also indifferent though because of I want the interoperability, Beeper is doing fine.

  • The falsehoods of a senior developer
  • There are people who are knowledgeable and good at their job. Knowledgeable enough to be experts. Those are usually subject matter experts, including developers.

    The issue is that no one can guarantee an outcome or that they've picked the right approach.

  • I just run Jellyfin in a bookmarked browser shortcut on WebOS. Never had any issues.

  • Something tells me this might not be a good year for games...
  • Certainly won't be as good a year as 2023.

  • Hearing people talk about their passions is one of the best things in life
  • On the other hand I'd listen about him since I had no experience or awareness of him since I'm not on social media. Behind the bastards did a good podcast episode on him.

  • Reddit beats film industry again, won’t have to reveal pirates’ IP addresses
  • That would probably be because your instance is different. Lemmy.world has recently blocked VPN traffic apparently because of bad actors uploading CSAM behind VPN. I also had issues with Lemmy with my VPN this week and either need to split tunnel or need to browse Lemmy as view-only.

  • Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals
  • I prefer manuals, they're more fun to drive, but the future is inevitably automatic with EVs.

  • The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
  • I've made the switch over and Lemmy feels perfectly viable and improving very quickly especially with the third party app devs working on supporting Lemmy. Reddit won't die but it looks like it'll stagnate, whereas Lemmy has got a brighter future.

  • Bookwyrm - Decentralized network to discover and track your book read
  • Testing it out, doesn't seem to work with Connect though, needs to be through a browser.

  • Telegram adds Stories for Premium subscribers
  • I have one person I know on Signal, and zero people I know who use stories outside of Instagram.

  • Why is reddthat seemingly blocked by an "instance filter".
  • I checked again and you're right! I was looking under the filters heading but there's a separate block list heading.

    I didn't actively block reddthat but I accidentally setup an account name and deleted and replaced it...I think deleting the account might have added reddthat to the block list, maybe?

  • Why is reddthat seemingly blocked by an "instance filter".

    This doesn't seem to be an app setting but something lemmy.word is filtering. What's the point of hiding but not blocking, and why this filter at all?

    I heard Lemmy modding is "open", so is there some way to track and see why something like this is done?

    Edit: see comments, it was actually an app setting but not something I changed/applied myself.

    Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?
  • Saying "I don't need privacy because I've got nothing to hide" is like saying "I don't need free speech because I've got nothing to say".

  • Bitwarden or Proton Pass
  • Nothing wrong with a utilitarian boring UI/UX. It's not going to be a determining factor but a nicer looking and feeling experience is...nicer.

  • Bitwarden or Proton Pass
  • Been a longtime user of Bitwarden (free, and over the last year paid). It's a straightforward/good but a bit boring UI, connects very well and easily into browser, phone etc. Works well, highly recommended, and having 2FA on paid version is awesome.

    Been trying out Proton Pass for the last few days since I already pay for Proton Unlimited. It's got a good UI and so far it's been working well in Firefox and on my phone. It's much better integration with Simple Login features so I like the slightly more seemless sign-up ability. It's not 100% feature parity with Bitwarden paid though.

    Bottom line - I prefer proton pass as a heavy proton user already BUT if I just wanted a standalone password manager, Bitwarden is probably better. Both are good options though, and competition is good.
