- Comment on Super Mario Bros Remastered 4 days ago:
I don’t like the “improved physics/ level
design” part. That sounds like a complete remake instead of a remaster. - Comment on How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ? 1 week ago:
Buy better toilet rolls, quilted ultra soft from good brands. Your butthole will thank you.

I have more SD cards than USB drives.
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 2 weeks ago:
Yes they pick a random person. Or the random person call them believing that the scammer is actually a legitimate service. If you Google “my computer has virus”, you will find plenty of fake “Microsoft support “ numbers to call.
They only get all the info when they “verify” the info and the victim willingly provides the info. They create a convincing story whether a risk that they claim to be able to mitigate if the victim cooperates, or they fake a prize that requires a certain action to obtain.

A birthday is just a day, just like the day before and the day after. There is nothing that dramatically changes overnight except for the number.

Can the malware somehow target the hosting Linux via wine?
- Comment on The people developing vegan meat alternatives must have eaten a lot of meat beforehand so they can replicate the taste and texture. 3 weeks ago:
Can't they hire other people to do the taste testing?
Or they don't even have to be vegan in order to develop the products. People making medicines don't need to be sick.

- Comment on Is "AI" the end of truth? 3 weeks ago:
It used to be that only the rich and the powerful had access to fake videos. Many people believed in such videos because of that.
Now that fake videos are common, more people become suspicious of the authencity, which might be a good thing.
During the Tibet unrest in 2008, Chinese media produced videos of the "riot" which were obviously CGI. Nobody doubted because it wasn't comon to have fake videos at the time.
- Comment on Is "AI" the end of truth? 3 weeks ago:
We don’t need gen-AI to produce realistic looking videos. We already have the technology for decades, but reality hasn’t collapsed yet. With gen-AI it is just cheaper and quicker to make.
- Comment on Anyone else here play this? Motorsiege: Warriors of Primetime (PS2) 4 weeks ago:
Never even heard of this before. I like arcade style racing games (e.g Cruisn’ USA), but I don’t like hover cars. They are literally floaty.
- Comment on YSK that you probably can tell a Policeman (or ICE agent) to go fuck themselves without legal repurcussions. 4 weeks ago:
they cannot use their authority to punish individuals for lawful, protected conduct.
But they will. They will find excuses to arrest you, and they will claim resist arrest. If you sue them, they get a vacation paid by taxpayers.

Seems to work for me.

I am not sure if PieFed is in beta, it has been very reliable to me, and now with mobile app support. It is under very active development, we see new features popping up regularly. It already has some unique features not available on lemmy.
Lemmygrad and Hexbear are on the block list of piefed.social, and PieFed handles instance block much better than lemmy. I've added lemmy.ml from my personal block list, and I see absolutely nothing from lemmy.ml users.

Federation works very well on PieFed. Based on the message on your profile, you should consider using software not developed by tankies.

If you are holding it in your hands, phone. If you use a stand, tablet.
There is huge difference in display quality between tablets. Best to see one in person instead of just reading the specs.
- Comment on "make out" has an awful lot of meanings for two words that seemingly don't make any sense together 4 weeks ago:
English is a weird language.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Insult. Unless you’re so smart that it is obviously a joke.
- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 4 weeks ago:
I am “guilty” of showing my daughter classic movies including some black and white ones.
I think everyone should watch those, it is like studying the life and culture of the past.
As for games, my partner does not allow gaming at all.
- Comment on Anyone tried cloud gaming? 4 weeks ago:
Thanks. I might try it because I stream to either my phone or my tablet depending on the game, and they have different resolutions.

Is it better than Sunshine?
- Comment on Anyone tried cloud gaming? 4 weeks ago:
For cloud gaming I have used Stadia, GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and now Boosteroid.
It has been great. No need to worry about installation and storage space. Simply click and launch the game.
You do need to have reliable internet, preferably wired LAN or a fast wifi network.
For self-hosted streaming I use Steam Link, Sunshine or Parsec. Mostly Sunshine these days because of the streaming quality.
I mostly play single player games and I don’t really notice any lag.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 4 weeks ago:
The health benefits come from movement and posture variation, instead of just keeping the standing position.
Walking desks would be ideal (for health), but that take up too much space and I think walking distracts my work.

I have the Ikea UPPSPEL gaming desk and it has been sturdy without issues.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 4 weeks ago:
I have a daily alarm to remind myself setting it at standing position at least once a day. Sometimes when I am busy I ignore the alarm and forget.
Thanks for your reminder, I have it in the standing position now. Usually keep standing for around 30 minutes until I get tired.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 4 weeks ago:
- Create sentient AI
- Let AI take control of the internet upon receiving the QR code
- Wear your t-shirt containing the QR code, show it to a camera connected to the internet
- Now AI takes over the world
