  • They'd better Run run run run run run awaayyyyyyy

  • If there's someone prepared to argue in court about why the UK's Act is a terrible idea, holy crap is it NOT 4chan

  • The original Silent Hill games were created by an internal group within Konami called Team Silent. This team was formed by underperforming Konami staff to work on a Resident Evil competitor that Konami higher-ups wanted to underperform and give them a chance to fire said underperforming staff. Instead, they struck gold with SH1.

    Team Silent suddenly had a level of fame to themselves, but they were still Konami's red-headed stepchild. 2-4 were similarly successful, with 2 being the high point of the series.

    After SH3, key staff started to depart from Konami. By the time the 5th game, Homecoming, came out, much of the original team had been replaced with those more aligned with Konami bigwigs that wanted to turn the series into a moneymaker instead of the quiet success it was built as.

    An example of this is the Silent Hill HD Collection for PS3 and X360. The 'remaster' of SH2 and 3 was anything but. They had to make these remasters with incomplete codebases, no original staff to question, even some of the original voice acting was missing because Konami straight-up deleted the original source code.

    There are those that say that SH never recovered from the gutting of Team Silent, and they tend to get louder with each entry into the series. Sometimes they have valid points, but not always.

  • Gorillaz - Sunshine in a Bag

  • Sure. God told Bush there were WMDs in Iraq, too.

  • END THE BABADOOK ERASURE

  • Vulcan Love Slave is the Trek equivalent of Twilight.

    I will not be taking questions.

  • I always assumed it was a kind of oxymoron title. This Vulcan, unlike the others, is controlled by emotions - love in particular. Think of a woman who's 3 times stronger than you and also obsessed with you, despite her entire upbringing and society telling her that it's illogical.

    Now that's a holosuite program I would run.

  • You mean Military Operation Censorship? Or have we dropped that pretense?

  • That's actually easy.

    The shape of the district gets decided based on the concentration of votes for one party. The goal is to make enough districts with enough concentration of your voters that you always win those districts, and make the rest of the state have few enough districts with enough of a mix of of voters for both parties that A) the for-sure districts can't be lost and B) the not-for-sure districts can never oppose the for-sure districts as long as they remain under your party's control.

    So all the rigging party needs to do is campaign enough in the for-sure districts that they can't lose, and campaign enough in the not-for-sure districts that their opponent can't win. And then because of the Electoral College, all of the states votes go to the rigged party.

  • I can't do shit about that in Pennsylvania. You'd think there would have been more an effort to disprove the allegations or fix the problems sometime between 1865 and now.

  • I use Nextcloud for contacts, calendars, files, bookmarks, passwords, to do lists, Kanban boards, and recipies. You absolutely can turn nextcloud into a 365 competitor if that's your jam

  • You might want to set up dynamic DNS for your domain. If you're hosting from a residential internet connection then your ISP will change your address eventually. Ddclient can be used to report your current IP to your Registrar regularly, so if it changes the domain moves along with it.

  • Early Pink Floyd, especially the albums A Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle

  • They don't read the books they just buy them

  • The Jackboot fits, I don't care how much he cries about wearing it.

  • Published 2018 about a 2013 study. Still messed up.

  • Technology Memes @lemmy.world

    Every time I see a headline like "Windows introduces thing, nobody asked for it but it's coming to all versions and can't be uninstalled"

  • Selfhosted @lemmy.world

    Migrate Docker Containers from VM to NFS Share?

    Remmina failing to connect to local VM connected to Microsoft Azure/Entra ID

    I said I said I said this here Citadel's got a fox in the henhouse

    Moving away from Nextcloud AIO, where do I start setting up a Nextcloud instance WITHOUT Docker?
