So it lets you get so close that you can block the ball from ever leaving the opposition’s side and they get a penalty? Neat, though still requires you to be better at the game than me!

Interesting, I’ve been wondering how OSM deals with malicious changes

Libel if it’s in print, slander if you say it in person

It’s not like it gives you questions in a particular order, it just puts a pin on the map everywhere there’s missing information. For instance if your neighbourhood only had house numbers missing then that’s all you’ll see nearby, other places could be completely different.

Prime opportunity for some evangelising!

Definitely ticks the “something interesting to do out on a walk” box that pokémon go did

Street Complete is definitely the gateway drug here, very simple and beginner-friendly way to get started

Resist the FOMO, don’t buy a game just because it’s brand new and they paid for enough marketing that everyone’s talking about it. Go through your backlog, replay your favourites, find some cheap indies or second hand classic or free giveaways. Nobody can force you to pay through the nose for games and there’s more choice than ever before!

In the traditional sense of losing about 10% of its users? Seems about right.

I just go with “corpo social media” - is there a company trying to get infinite growth and profit behind the website?

Nautilus was torture-tested with poor aim scenarios, erratic flow rates, and simulated misfires

reducing splashback by a staggering 98%

Seems like they did this properly, and while it’s not perfect it handles sprinkler mode pretty well

I don’t know how the purchasing power differs across the pond but converting dollarydoos to pounds that sounds like a bargain for a new functional EV

I’ve not tried Winlator for a year or so, wasn’t really useable but looked like it had a lot of promise. Guessing if you’re successfully emulating Switch games then it’s pretty capable though?

I’ve seen these devices mentioned quite a bit on Lemmy but I’ve never looked into what they actually are. Is it basically just a small Android tablet with built-in controller? Does it run (x64) PC games or just (arm) Android games and emulators?

An unanswered question?

What’s the actual relevant info in this massive wall of legalese?

Whatever happened to the hololens? I used an early one and it was genuinely an incredibly cool bit of kit. Could they just not think of a way to make money with it?

That’s what I meant by “never connect it to the internet and plug in a more trusted device”, whether that’s a Chromecast or your PC you can always plug in something else you trust more than the TV. Obviously finding something you can trust that does everything you want is another story.

My (very basic) understanding of a pihole is that it calls out to an upstream DNS provider (such as the one you’d be using without a pihole) and caches everything it gets back, meaning that it’s only making new requests when you’re querying a domain it hasn’t queried before. I can’t think of any reason a game would need to constantly be accessing different domains (except maybe for some kind of server browser?)

What games are you playing that regularly send out lots of DNS requests to different domains?
