Don't expect corporations to join the DEI movement because they care about minorities. They do it for the money. When the wind of change arrives, some people might be surprised by how quickly and completely corps change their minds

Do you think Lemmy should act like Meta, which banned Pixelfed links and Mastodon instances?

When we used to order pizza in middle school, kids would fold the slices one on top of the other and eat them like a big sandwich. That was the most popular way to avoid questions about whether they would share it with others. Not to mention, most people snuck to the toilet for feasting.

While ‘Karmageddon’ has sparked significant conversation and controversy, Iyah has stood her ground. She refused to compromise her vision when asked to change a key lyric line, leading to the end of her contract with her manager. She chose to walk away from her record label and now, fully independent, Iyah continues to carve her own path as an artist. Her fearless approach is shaped by her unique perspective as a qualified medical doctor, having worked on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sorry, for bad cross posts, but it seems that I can't replace the original URL with new link to yewtu.be video and this is why I got 3 crosspots while trying to fix it.

 

This post is a follow up to Breaking "DRM" in Polish trains [video] – 37c3 presentation

Description

You've probably already heard the story: we got contracted to analyze a bunch of trains breaking down after being serviced by independent workshops. We reverse engineered them and found code which simulated failures when they detected servicing attempts. We presented our findings at 37C3… and then shit hit the fan.

This talk will be an update about what happened since our 37C3 presentation. We’ll talk about:

  • Three parliamentary workgroup sessions with dirty bathroom photos on Newag’s offtopic slides, train operators revealing that they paid Newag more than 20k EUR for unlocking a single train, which Newag was able to unlock in 10 minutes, and at the same time saying that they don’t know anything about the locks.
  • 140-page lawsuits, accusing us of copyright violation and unfair competition (sic!) with a lot of logical gymnastics.
  • How it’s like to repeatedly explain reverse engineering concepts to journalists.
  • 6 official investigations, two of them criminal.
  • New cases revealed since then (from different train operators).
  • and much more!

What about destructible environment, physics, attention to details?

All what I see nowadays are mediocre products in flashy packaging. Consumers seem to prioritize aesthetics over quality; if a game is colorful and visually appealing, it often sells well. Whats up with freedom of jumping on that crate, blowing up that wall, shooting up the props etc.

At times, it feels as though I am confined within an enclosure, where the visuals and sounds serve merely to distract me from this realization.

  • Battlefield 4 / 1 / V - just campaigns. What I remember from playthroughs were nice graphics and cool sound effects.
  • Sniper Elite V2 Remastered - I have done it in few coop sessions with my brother. The ability to finish the full singleplayer campaign in coop is a great feature in games and this is what I look for nowadays.
  • Hellblade: Senua Sacrifice - quite repetitive mechanic, but for story lovers is very fun to sink in
  • Start Wars Battlefront II - similar opinion like for Battlefield series, singleplayer only for me
  • Superliminal - fun game concept
  • Layers of Fear 1&2/Blair Witch - I have rushed these games just for the sake of completion of my backlog titles.
  • The Stanley Parable - comedy gold, frustrating at times, quite short, but highly recommended classic
  • Aperture Desk Job - fun, interactive controller test game from Valve
  • Serious Sam: Double D XXL - classic platformer from Serious Same universe with funny gun upgrades mechanic, with no political correctness

And some free short games/prologues:

  • Outpath: First Journey - relaxing, but kinda simplistic Minecraft wannabe game
  • Ale & Tale Tavern: First Pints - tavern manager game from first person view in medieval times
  • The Riftbreaker: Prologue - solid prologue for strategy game with robots and aliens
  • Helltaker - logic, rogue like game with nice humour
  • The Looker - play The Witness first to get the reference, because this game is a parody
  • Neon Beats - fun platformer, rhytm game
  • Clap Clap - short, horror game
  • Cats Hidden in Paris - find all cats on drawing type of game

Inside Job is a 2010 American documentary film, directed by Charles Ferguson, about the late 2000s financial crisis.

The global financial meltdown that took place in Fall of 2008 caused millions of job and home losses and plunged the United States into a deep economic recession.

This documentary provides a detailed examination of the elements that led to the collapse and identifies key financial and political players.

Director Charles Ferguson conducts a wide range of interviews and traces the story from the United States to China to Iceland to several other global financial hot spots.

Ferguson, who began researching in 2008, says the film is about "the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption". In five parts, the film explores how changes in the policy, environment and banking practices helped create the financial crisis.

Director interviews ordinary people and ask some basic questions in order of their age.

 

I have Samsung UE40J5200AW and it has that screen mirroring feature. Whenever I try to use to cast from Windows 11 to this TV, the stream stops after few mins of playing.

I have no idea if Samsung doesnt allow to play full screen videos from casting devices or not. I have tried to connect both PC and TV via Ethernet and see if it will help, but its happening all the time.

Whats interesting it also happens when I cast via my lineage os phone and I checked it on different TV and had the same issue.

Whats your ways to cast videos from PC/laptop to TV?
