It is! Quite a bit better than 3 I’d say.

Depends on how you define the original I guess, but that person seems to post their videos to Peertube and Youtube simultaneously. It’s not a reupload, but posted by the creator himself.

It’s Peertube, no Google ads there.

Interesting, never heard of “Zoom Platform” before. Seems to be a GOG competitor.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 needs a CD unless you use RCT2 tools, which is a fan made software that works amazing for rollercoaster tycoon and all the expansions. Thanks to the RCT2 creators!

OpenRCT2 is an even better option here. Native Linux, adds various improvements to the game and even has multiplayer!

This is no longer in the app, to be clear. It was removed in may 2025.

I don’t know if there are currently any automated systems against it, but with Lemmy votes being public, I think that someone would notice it happening sooner or later. If it became a huge problem, automated systems could certainly be developed.

I’m aware that instances can block interaction from other instances, but if done correctly it would be easy to do it without raising much suspicion.

I don’t think it would be. A sudden influx of votes from users from a new instance who never posted or commented would be pretty obvious I’d say.

It can play games standalone, but unless they’re specifically made for it, they will run through a translation layer that will have a performance cost. I’d expect similar to slightly better visuals compared to a Quest 3. I don’t think No Man’s Sky VR will run standalone with playable performance.

the price of a General controller with back buttons and no Hall effect Joysticks or touchpads is already about 100€

That seems expensive, you can get hall effect or even TMR sticks and back buttons for well below that. That said, I do think the Steam Controller will be more expensive than that. 80-100€ is my guess.

Yup. I’ve had massive driver issues with lengthy troubleshooting on both Linux and Windows before. Even had to switch to a completely different distribution once, because it wouldn’t play nice with my GPU.

If you pretend like everything always works seamlessly with Linux, you’re bound to give people false expectations that will very likely be disappointed.

In the 90s they put random English phrases instead of translating.

Nah, that’s just not the case for Pokemon. Looked it up and in the Japanese version he says 「たんパンうごきやすくっていいぜ」or “It’s nice that shorts are easy to move in”. Same meaning basically, dude just likes shorts in any version.

So what conclusion do you draw from this? If humans can’t be trusted to make any judgement, literally anything should be considered to be capable of suffering, including pebbles, rainbows and paper bags? Seems like an impractical way of living.

Where do we draw the line though? Humans assign emotions to all kinds of inanimate things: plush animals, the sky, dead people, fictional characters etc. We can’t give all of those the rights of a conscious being, so we need to have some kind of objective way to look at it.

Fundamentally impossible to know. I’m not sure how you’d even find a definition for “suffering” that would apply to non-living entities. I don’t think the comparison to animals really holds up though. Humans are animals and can feel pain, so of course the base assumption for other animals should be that they do as well. To claim otherwise, the burden should be to prove that they don’t. Meanwhile, Humans are fundamentally nothing like an LLM, a program running on silicon predicting text responses based on a massive dataset.

This is only in regions where they’re being forced to do this. And if the implementation in Japan is anything like what they did in the EU, it’s essentially worthless, as there are way to many hoops to jump through for alternate app stores to make it practical or useful at all.

Wonder how many of those courses are AI-generated themselves…

Yep, very common sound to hear in European forests and a sign that spring is here.

What’s also interesting about them is that they don’t build nests. They just lay their eggs in other birds’ nests and let them take care of their young. The baby cuckoo will throw the other baby birds out of the nest so it’ll get all the food.

With the Android app, I believe you’ll need to write the data to something like an NFC card which then acts as an Amiibo. I got a Pixl.js device off Aliexpress for 12€, which came preloaded with all amiibos (up to that point).

I managed to put the Prime 4 amiibos on it now as well. The unlocks are nice, but far from essential I’d say. The music gives the motorcycle sections some variety, but I kind of prefer the original ambience, as it gives more of an eery desert vibe.

I didn’t. I actually recently bought one of those Amiibo spoofing devices, but I haven’t found any .bin files for the MP4 Amiibos yet. From what I’ve read, they unlock a number of musical tracks you can play while on the bike, as well as some visual bike customization options. The music especially would be nice to have, as it would make trekking through the desert less monotonous.
