I mean, it absolutely would be a crisis for those in power who are guilty of rape/sexual abuse/harassment

These guys all look like they're 14-15 years old. Very manly and mature.

I switched to NewPipe ever since the very first alpha version was released. I've discovered so many more niche channels that I would have never discovered had I still been using my Google account.

Without the account, the algorithm recommends me videos exclusively based on the current video I'm watching, which is exactly what I want the algo to do.

I am currently subscribed to over 1500 people on NewPipe now, for reference, with the vast majority being smaller creators. I discover new channels on a fairly regular basis.

My subs are also completely local and sortable into different groups. Google has been known to unsubscribe people from channels without their consent or knowledge, and this prevents that from happening.

Having no ads and Sponsorblock (via polymorphicshade's fork called Tubular or another fork called PipePipe) is also a nice bonus.

That's a really long phone number. Crazy that it has 7 repeating numbers in succession.

Someone needs to blue shell all of his money away and deport him back to South Africa.

Would be a shame if Elon's hack on the treasury left a backdoor open that any good hacker can access, because then it could be used against him and his billionaire/robber baron friends.

Prof Wolff just released a great video about this yesterday, although it's more about debunking the myth of a meritocracy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILljYRz_G-I

No amount of drugs can keep me from being afraid of that

Obama promising a leftie-style government, then continuing to implement neoliberalism was my alarm that fascism was coming. This is also when I started getting into politics. Had I been both alive and into politics in the 1980s, I probably would have said Reagan was the alarm, and I would've agreed with that today, since he was largely responsible for introducing neoliberalism in the US.

Neoliberalism was our late stage capitalism, which was always destined to fail. Now we're past that and now running into fascism, which was defined by the founder of fascism (Mussolini) as the merging or corporations and governments, which is what we're seeing now.

From former president FDR: "The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."

The OPM was hacked by Elon Musk putting an email server in there. Elon Musk and his cronies are the ones sending these emails, not the OPM.

Counterexample (albeit just one example), the new Indiana Jones game that requires RT is insanely well optimized, and will even run on the Steam Deck.

Threads federation? (lemmy.sdf.org)

What is SDF's opinion on pre-emptive deferation with Threads?

I know SDF Chatter hasn't defedded with any instance, but there is a serious risk of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if we federate with Threads.

 

Looking for a DP to HDMI 2.1 that supports 4k120 with Freesync and the various HDR standards. Saw the PS196 was announced some while back, but can't find any converters that implement it.

Anyone know where I can find a converter, or even just the chip itself so I can build my own?

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

I have an OG Model F (pre IBM XT, but the same standard) and used to have a Pro Micro-based Soarer's converter before it died on me.

I'm looking for a replacement that can be both wired (either USB, PS/2, or AT) and wireless (either Bluetooth or via dongle). Soarer-style macros would be a nice-to-have, especially for the missing F11, F12, and Meta keys.

Does anything like that exist?

 

Was wondering if anyone had experience with Frankensteining together different parts from different controllers, and how I could go about it cleanly.

I'm looking to have some kind of modern controller (preferably a DualSense), but with an actually good DPad, specifically the Sega Saturn Mk2 controller. Wondering if I should bother with trying to modify the shell, or if I should just custom design a new shell to fit the DPad. I feel like 3D printing would result in much lower quality compared to injection molded plastic, so not 100% sure about that idea.

Been looking for a search engine that isn't plauged with SEO garbage every time I look for anything. Been using DDG for quite a long time now, and I'm starting to get dissatisfied with results. It seems like more and more results are just companies trying to make their way to the top of the search results instead of anything organic. It's even worse when I look for any kind of service or product.

Looking for as close to 100% organic results as possible.

Best Debrid service? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I've been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there're a couple of things making me want to switch.

I like to share my account with a couple of friends. Real Debrid gave me a warning about banning my account if I use it concurrently with someone else.

Real Debrid no longer accepts emails from AnonAddy or Tutanota. I would much rather not have to give out any real contact info.

Looking for a comparable service that caches torrents from anyome who downloads it and provides a link premiumizing service. I would also like to be able to give out direct links for the purposes of using Syncplay.

Whatever I use must be compatible with Torrentio inside of Stremio.
