  Technically they’re right, which is why pirating Ubisoft games is ethical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but his doctors are keeping him alive regardless, clogged arteries no problem they’ll clear that right up too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say there’s zero chance, he could probably easily outlive us all somehow.

  Good, make them suffer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a rough estimate, it’s “only” $114 AUD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s $650 CAD $700 AUD for the Switch 2 and it’s $120 CAD $150 AUD for Mario Kart.

  LMAO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody is referring to 10 years as “months”.

  When you’re talking about multiples of years, it’s going to be called years, not months. They were obviously talking about a short timeline, less than 2 years, likely less than 1 year.

  They have no idea what they’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, months is a joke, doubly so when talking about tens of millions of lines of code and also COBOL specifically.

  This is going to be a hilarious disaster but not so hilarious when people who need the benefits need them and won’t be able to get them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I really need a firewall for my server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s easy to accidentally run services or set up services temporarily and forget that you left them running. With UPnP being able to automatically/dynamically open ports, a firewall is just another layer of protection. You can also configure firewalls to ignore packets silently or log dropped packets, and if applications ever get new versions and end up listening on new ports, you would have to manually allow the ports. Maybe you want to have one part of an application accessible through the firewall but not another part of the application.

  Plus, like you said, country blocking is nice, and there are also other features too like being able to throttle connections, especially with things like fail2ban.

  It’s just another layer of protection, and it ensures that everything you run is deliberate.

  Yes, correct, I made a typo. I fixed it now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federated wiki software?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like there is a federated solution for everything lol

  There’s also a list of ActivityPub software on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub#Software_using_…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thing that happens with NCIX’s personal information data, it probably goes to the highest bidder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone help me understand the sonarr to jellyfin workflow⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s important to have seperate directories for unfinished torrent downloads and complete ones, and only have sonarr pick up from the completed one

  Back when I used Torrents instead of Usenet for sonarr, I had only the one folder, since Plex would generally pick up the library changes automatically anyway. I’d assume that Jellyfin is similar, although I don’t use it enough to know for sure. These days I use only Usenet for sonarr/radarr since I’m paying for Usenet and it’s excellent for automation/new content, and SABnzbd provides both incomplete and complete folders by default anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think so yes (there is a stereotype about them for good reason after all), but I think things are trending in an extremely concerning direction and things are going to get worse. I mean, they’re clearly trying to make younger Americans less intelligent, look at what they’re doing with the department of education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I really need a firewall for my server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should, yes. I run a firewall (I usually use ufw) on all of my Internet-connected devices, since all of my devices run Linux. There’s not really any good reason not to in 2025.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but if you die, you won’t be doing much running anymore anyway.

  It might be time to release the shackles of Windows and head on over to Linux.

  Or I guess you could get Windows 10 LTSC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Half of the Americans are in favor of this clown, and the other half either are too drained from the whole thing, can’t afford to miss work, or just don’t know how to protest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I didn’t already have my lifetime pass, I’d use Jellyfin as my primary media server platform instead of Plex.

  One of these days though, I’m sure Plex will make a mistake serious enough that it impacts me, and I’ll end up switching to Jellyfin as my main media server platform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, that’s the thing. Games have to be bigger, better, more fun than ever before, and yet the publishers and management want it to be done quicker and quicker than ever before, so it’s a pretty difficult thing. That, combined with bad working conditions and the public shitting on you because “game devs are shitty/greedy/etc” with developers being used coloquially to absorb all the blame that should be reserved for management, and things are in a pretty tough spot.

  Though, at the same time, it’s a better time now than ever before to actually be a gamer, because not only can you play any half-decent new games, but you can also play the entire library of older games, retro games, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was playing a bunch of Skyrim with mods last year! Awesome game.

  Oh I’m used to it, I know I have some controversial opinions.

  Hot take incoming: New 3DS XL is the best handheld Nintendo has ever made. Not only can it play every generation of games prior, it’s the latest clamshell they made, and it even has exclusives for it like the awesome GTA 3 and GTA VC (admittedly VC is a bit rough) ports.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Now hold on, are you talking about Windows 7 and 10, or 11? These are very different things!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  most people are stuck with the couple choices they have in town and when tech comes in and forces the enshitificstion of services in order to pump stock price you’re stuck just eating this shit forever.

  Is that the fault of the technology, though, or is that the fault of the companies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  if I went to a restaurant and was told that I had to install and use their app to order their food, I would fucking leave. If it was the only restaurant left in town then I’d have much less choice in the matter. The insidious nature of technology is that it changes “can” with “must”.

  That’s not really the fault of technology though, that’s the fault of how companies are implementing technology through their policies and procedures.

  Companies can have stupid, arbitrary rules and requirements and policies and do stupid or harmful actions regardless of technology or not.

  That said, I’ll take what you said on faith, because I think you’re spot on with everything else.

  I mean, it’s not a secret that governments everywhere run really outdated software (think things like Windows 7 and older) because “it works”, so it really shouldn’t be too surprising.
