In case anyone hasn't seen the hilarious scare screen on one of the seized ZLibrary domains. lol
  • As if money actually goes to the content creators 😂

  • Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated
  • I don’t like Nintendo’s attack on emulation any more than you do, but video capture cards have existed for a long time. You don’t need an emulator to record footage of console play

  • Ryujinx has been taken down after an agreement between the developer gdkchan and Nintendo
  • Someday we’ll learn that GitHub just isn’t the place for this kind of stuff…

  • Detailed Analysis: Why Arabs Lose Wars?
  • ?? The Taliban won the war with the US…

  • Super Game Boy Plus: Ultimate Super Game Boy Upgrade with Enhanced Features
  • That’s what I’m getting at, Nintendo only needs the argument “this could be used to rip a game onto the cartridge, then distribute it” and US courts will bend over and grant them the DMCA strike

  • What's your most watched sports movie? Name one for each sport you watch.
  • Hijacking this thread to ask if there’s any good rugby movies besides Invictus

  • Super Game Boy Plus: Ultimate Super Game Boy Upgrade with Enhanced Features
  • Someone help me understand the feature to lock a game to the cartridge - does this mean it copies the game data into the SNES cartridge so you don’t need the GameBoy cart anymore? If so, this could give Nintendo’s lawyers enough power to shut this project down, which would be very sad

  • Why are Bernedoodles so popular in the US?
  • Not sure why, just an observation of mine

  • PSA/HOWTO: Avoid fake mkv torrents. Avoid getting hacked
  • Yet another reminder that piracy on Linux is the way because new files don’t have execute permissions by default

  • Why are Bernedoodles so popular in the US?
  • Idk about bernedoodles specifically, but -doodle crosses seem to be all the rage in the US right now

  • First hand experience with TSA biometric collection in airport
  • Did you happen to look up while standing in the TSA line? Surprise, there’s cameras there too. Sure, they’re not getting a straight-on shot of your face, but still getting a clear shot nonetheless. There’s no winning in this situation sadly

  • Does your local city/town/village have its own Discord server?
  • Next Door’s are universally shitty but at least mine is delightfully shitty

  • Nintendo Japan plans to stop repairing its Classic Edition consoles
  • Sure this is sad, but what even breaks in these? They’re single board computers inside plastic shells. Of course the controllers can break/wear out but those are easily replaceable

  • PS5 USB-C Cable Housing in Various PlayStation Controller Styles
  • If you’re referring to the weight of the housing leveraging the connector, I think printing with a low infill would make that a non-issue. The cable itself is going to be much heavier by comparison

  • People still working in IT, thoughts on IPv6?
  • Repeat after me kids:

    NAT 👏 is 👏 not 👏 a 👏 security 👏 feature

  • Secret calculator hack brings ChatGPT to the TI-84, enabling easy cheating
  • You knew what I meant but chose to leave a Reddit-ass comment anyway

  • Secret calculator hack brings ChatGPT to the TI-84, enabling easy cheating
  • Ok but calculators are only allowed in math class and if there’s one thing language models suck at, it’s doing basic math. Forget anything at least as complicated as algebra

  • Locked
    Ublock origin + firefox is no longer working for blocking ads on youtube?
  • It’s a constant cat & mouse game but ublock usually catches up quickly, give them a little time

    The whole reason Google is making manifest v3 is to prevent ad blockers from being able to update their blocklists quickly, giving them a much stronger advantage in the cat & mouse game

  • Why is seeding a torrent helpful?
  • This is a much more involved method than just seeding everything you download to at least a 1.0 ratio, but if you're extremely resource-limited, then sure

  • Alternative to Alexandrite Lemmy UI?

    I've been hosting Alexandrite as my main web UI for Lemmy because Lemmy's own UI is a bit too basic for my tastes, but Alexandrite hasn't been updated in 7 months and is still missing features like setting a default comment sort type. Can anyone recommend an alternative with a similar look and feel? I use the "list" view on smaller resolutions and the "cards" view on my ultrawide

    [Meta] Can we have a rule against posting several similar images in succession?

    I get it, part of the fun of AI images is being able to make several images in a single stroke. But there are multiple ways to put those images in a single post, rather than making a post for each.

    Looking at you, vintage food guy

    The Legend of Banjo-Kazooie: The Jiggies of Time

    It’s pretty crazy that romhacking dot net shuts down the same day I finish playing through my first retro mod, but that is in line with my usual luck…

    Anyways, this mod for Banjo Kazooie is absolutely incredible. It’s Banjo Kazooie set in the world of Ocarina of Time. The levels were cleverly designed, the Easter eggs kept me smiling nonstop, and every song was an absolute tune.

    If you are a fan of Banjo, Zelda, and Nintendo in general, this is a definite must-play. Guaranteed to warm your heart

    UVC Viewer with Upscaling

    I have a UVC capture card that I use to play my Switch. Currently, I utilize it via the full screen projector feature of OBS, but the Switch is 1080p while my monitor is 4k and the upscaling that OBS uses causes some noticeable artifacts.

    I’m wondering if there’s an application with some configurable upscaling options that would make this experience better. I don’t need anything crazy that would cause noticeable input lag, but anything even slightly better than OBS would be welcome

    Most painless way to play Old School Runescape on Linux?

    I see there are several different ways to install OSRS on Linux - flatpaks, Android emulators, Steam, etc. - but can anyone recommend the best as far as ease of setup? With lack of glitches being the second priority?

    I have an AMD GPU that is quite recent (<5 years)

    [Community Challenge #16] Character Limit

    It's my turn to set the Community Challenge for this week...

    Theme

    This week we're doing theme via creative constraint. Make whatever you want, you just can't use characters. More specifically, no characters, named or unnamed, from any stories, songs, games, etc. That includes mash ups.

    You can definitely still have people, you can still use tropes, and even create your own totally original characters. Just no reusing existing characters, or obvious derivatives

    Rules

    1. Follow the community’s rules above all else

    2. One comment and image per user

    3. Embed image directly in the post (no external link)

    4. Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we're all here for fun)

    5. At the end of the week each post will be scored according to the following grid

      | Prize | Points | | --- | --- | | Most upvoted | +3 points | | Second most upvoted | +1 point | | Theme is clear | +1 point | | OP’s favorite (me, this week) | +1 point | | Most original | +1 point | | Last entry (to compensate for less time to vote) | +1 point | | Prompt and workflow included | +1 point |

    6. Posts that are ex aequo (tied) will both get the points

    7. Winner gets to pick next theme! Good luck everyone and have fun!
