  • When did lemmy.world start clamping down on VPNs?

    Jump

  • For me it works when I log out/log in while connected to the VPN. But sometimes when I'm at a different access point and my routing changes, it goes back to me not being able to comment.

  • What they're describing isn't just going to sleep, but putting a game on pause, doing whatever else you want (such as playing a different game) and then resuming exactly where you left off.

    It's basically just dumping the RAM to a file and loading it later, same as an emulator save state.

  • I think it's "console enough" that it could still work. Current consoles are really just locked-down PCs anyways.

    It'd be no different than the OtherOS functionality on first-run PS3 consoles that allowed them to boot into Linux. Perhaps simpler than that even, given that current consoles already use standard PC hardware and not the Cell architecture the PS3 ran on.

  • Independent emulation teams trying to keep older games alive are true heroes, but there is certainly something to be said for the quality of a competent team of first-party engineers who have access to all of the original code and architecture documentation. Truly some magic they were able to pull off.

  • Here's hoping it still has that functionality, I don't see a reason why it couldn't.

  • Could be that they add that functionality into Windows. There's nothing special about newer games that run on Xbox, they're all x86 applications. Microsoft could just release the Xbox middleware as its own app and allow Xbox games to work on whatever PC it's installed on, which is basically all that an Xbox is right now.

    For older games (360 and OG Xbox), just do the same thing with the emulator that they currently run through.

  • You know, I'm okay with this. If it makes PC gaming more accessible, and if it offers meaningful competition for the Steam Machine, it's good to have options. Sure it's Windows, but if it's just a PC running an Xbox UX, I'm sure you could change the OS to whatever else if you want.

    If anything, it does make the PS6 a less appealing choice, because why pick a dedicated console when you can get an (assuming) comparably strong, comparably priced gaming PC?

  • It is admittedly more secure.

    A stolen card can be used for tap to pay, with not all transactions requiring a PIN with a card. A stolen phone cannot if they don't have your phone's PIN or biometrics.

    And most phone tap-to-pay apps will also randomize your card data in the transaction to prevent your information from being tracked or compromised in the event of a large-scale data breach, like what happened with Target in 2013 and hundreds of retailers since.

  • I looked at the premise of his book that this article seems to connect with, and it basically boils down to "History shows that societies becomes a lot more peaceful and productive after periods of war."

    Wow, who'd've thought that things get better for the people who survive a war? It's a good thing we can apply survivorship bias to the whole of human history with such confidence like that.

  • Trump’s lightbulb moment: America needs Europe after all

  • Well, he thinks his dad was born in Germany, but yes his grandparents were German. His grandfather was a draft dodger who fled Germany to move to the US. Seems like draft dodging is a family tradition.

  • Hah, could be. Illegal immigrant who faked his place of birth to claim US citizenship. That'd be quite a plot twist.

  • There's a major problem with these in parts of India, where certain painkillers that are often administered to dying people for palliative care are toxic to the carrion birds that are supposed to consume them. So populations of the birds have been dwindling and many of these towers are full of decomposing corpses that are left to rot a lot more slowly.

    Other than the fuel needed for the incinerator, I don't see what's wrong with plain old cremation.

  • many have been saying this

    Jump

  • A lot of America is truly that racist. Sometimes overt, but often subtle (e.g. "I don't hate black people, but crime rates don't lie).

    There are pockets that are generally decent, but these are increasingly imperiled by growing external threats from the national government and bigots that feel empowered to act on its behalf.

  • I know that one of the Lemmy devs who is a tankie is also transphobic, so there's that at least.

    In case anyone is looking for a source for that claim:
