While you should do this to block your TVs telemetry and other undesirable behavior, realize that YouTube native TV app ads can’t be blocked at DNS level alone without also blocking the core functionality of YouTube, due to the way it serves the ads.
Lots of things about US democracy are vaporware. The two-party paradigm and candidate selection in particular are a joke. Repubs various state party orgs eliminated any real primary challenge to Trump. Democrats spiked any meaningful primary challenges to Biden and then installed a replacement who received zero primary votes.
Then we get to “choose” between these arbitrary figures who were selected by elites and nobody really likes.
Yeah, this is dumb.
I own original hardware and buy 100% of my games but sometimes you just wanna run games that aren’t originally crossplatform on your Steamdeck for convenience, or on a PC with resolution upscaling, or for ease of streaming the gameplay, or tons of other legitimate reasons.
Nintendo has some great IP and gameplay, and I guarantee you their sales are not meaningfully hurt by people who pirate/emulate games. Those people were never their customers anyway. If anything the emulation community enabled streamers to boost the popularity of their games. (People like PointCrow did more for the sustained popularity of BOTW than all of Nintendo’s marketing efforts combined)
He did make passing reference to the Migswitch which is why Nintendo is big mad.
I am now of the opinion that you should just download books off indexing sites/IRC/ Usenet/torrents and if you like the book and want to support the author, buy a physical copy, or buy 2 and put one in a neighborhood free library. That maximizes the good you are doing and helps your community instead of just generating Bezos bux.
The most secure endpoint is one that is completely inaccessible because the underlying service isn’t running.
MarioKart - Yoshi
Smash Bros - Samus
Mario Party - Monty Mole
It also makes one hell of a Fuck/Marry/Kill
She posted about this. Basically the party aparatchiks came to her house and told her to stop her “subversive” activities (posting on YouTube, talking about devices useful to protestors, mentioning being a lesbian in public media) or she would not like the consequences. She said she would leave the country entirely, except her romantic partner cannot leave (I assume this is due to political travel restrictions or family reasons).
I think her content was awesome and it showed someone defying expectations of who can do product design, fabrication, electrical engineering, etc.
China should very much get roasted for silencing speech.
POV you are walking down the street when you clip through the sidewalk and find yourself in the Backrooms.
I’m house Ryobi. I realize Ryobi is probably Hufflepuff (the “lame but at least not evil” one) in this scenario but so be it.
Funny. But the Trump impersonation sounds and looks more like Regis Philbin.
Superman 64.
Weeks and months of hype (the era of print gaming journalism), Blockbuster stocking 100 copies on launch day for “guaranteed availability” etc.
Then I finally popped the cart in, and this thing was so bad it just defied all logic. Horrific controls, shitty graphics, unclear user interface and objectives, terrible draw distance. Timed level segments and insane difficulty.
There might be “worse” games but I have never been more disappointed in a release than Superman 64.
They did this for McCains campaign also I believe. It all equates to nothing as one time public playing of a recording amounts to nearly nothing in royalties, and nobody magically decided they were/weren’t voting for a candidate based on hearing Foo Fighters in the background.
As a sidenote, the Foo Fighters have probably 30+ songs that are better than “My Hero” so why is that one played so damn much?
Turns out making everything into a subscription service doesn’t make it better, it just makes it worse.
This is what dying of cringe in text message format looks like.
Now that they’ve shown their proof of concept works and they can falsely imprison people on bogus charges and use them as bargaining chips to free their actual criminals, they will be doing this a lot more.
Trying to think of recent German films I’ve seen and the best I can do is Das Leben der Anderen and Der Untergang, both being 20 years old.
I do love having to give a 2 paragraph disquisition of caveats about how I didn’t vote for either major party candidate in 2016 or 2020, before I can make literally any comment on either of these people or the current state of US politics, lest I be downvoted into oblivion or accused of being an evil Repub shill.
Ironically when we do this on Lemmy we are qualifying ourselves to a cohort of mostly people who didn’t vote at all, or aren’t even Americans.
Abigail is best girl
Don’t forget it also created a 5-10 year period of otherwise-tech-illiterate ditsy chicks with comm or marketing degrees rebranding themselves as “Social Media Marketing Expert”, because they knew what buttons to click in Facebook UI.
