- Comment on The people developing vegan meat alternatives must have eaten a lot of meat beforehand so they can replicate the taste and texture. 2 days 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.

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.

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.

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. 1 week 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 1 week ago:
English is a weird language.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Insult. Unless you’re so smart that it is obviously a joke.
- Comment on Anyone else guilty of this? 1 week 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? 1 week 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? 1 week 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 2 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 2 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? 2 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

Super Mario Galaxy is one of my favourites too. Amazing soundtrack and the levels are innovative, fun without being too long.
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 2 weeks ago:
Thanks again I will give SC2 a try. I prefer pixel art and I want to see the original artists' vision, so I will try the original game first.
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the suggestions. Star Control appears to have a confusing UI (based on the screenshots). Star Trek looks cool I will give it a try.
I haven't played Mass Effect 3 either. Got a bit a burn out after finishing ME2.

Yeah I keep hearing complaints about the Mako but I enjoyed it.
