kugmo , to piracy in Is it possible to rip movie straight from cinema?
@kugmo@sh.itjust.works avatar

The movie at a cinema isn’t a regular mp4 file, it’s a massive 100-300gb proprietary file that needs a valid license key to even be played back during a specific time period. Good luck decrypting the file or getting the company that issues the keys to the cinemas to give you a key because you’re not getting it to play early. Iirc somehow the Korean rip of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was leaked early and something similar happened with the My Little Pony movie, but those fan bases are incredibly autistic and will find a way.

montar OP ,

Yeah, there’s no need to pirate at the cinema when you can pirate at the studio. Anyway how in my Lord Satan they made that file that huge, it’s 12K resolution or what?

wuphysics87 , to asklemmy in Are your grandparents and parents nice or tolerant people?

Depending on how old you are, and whether you are financially dependent on them, I would tell them to go fuck themselves. I’d also tell your grandma the world is changing, she’s gonna die soon, and there’s nothing she can do to change either one. Flip them the bird and walk out.

Obviously, personalities are different. This might not work for you, but you can’t just fight back with facts because they refuse to play that way. If they want to throw this kind of shit your way, you have no obligation, nor should you, play by the rules of “they go low, we go high”. That’s always been bullshit anyway. Especially in a situation like this.

BlackEco , to asklemmy in What Do google Tag Service and google Analytics Do?
@BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com avatar

Google Tag Manager (often abbreviated as GTM) allows site operators to dynamically inject scripts or update tracking code without requiring a new deployment. It’s often used alongside Google Analytics for the latter.

AbouBenAdhem , to asklemmy in Coolest historical leader?

If we’re going for “cool story” rather than “admirable person”, then the Byzantine emperor Justinian II.

frank ,

Tell us a story!

AbouBenAdhem , (edited )

He was overthrown, had his nose cut off, and was exiled to the Crimea. After conspiring to return to power, he was summoned back to Constantinople for additional punishment; but instead he escaped to the steppes and married the daughter of the Khazar kaghan. The usurpers negotiated with the Khazars to have Justinian extradited, but he was warned by his wife and killed the Khazar officials sent to arrest him. Next he escaped to the Balkans, married his daughter to the Bulgar Khan, and convinced the Khan to lend him an army to defeat the usurpers. So he appeared before the walls of Constantinople after a ten-year exile at the head of a barbarian army, but the city refused to surrender. Finally he used his knowledge of the city’s geography to crawl in through the sewers and re-took the throne by surprise.

qjkxbmwvz , to science_memes in Hermit Crab Housing Market

Seems more analogous to clothes than housing — clothes can be “too big” in the sense that the extra size is detrimental to the function, which is somewhat different from houses.

And it’s pretty common to have buy-nothing groups in cities or even at large companies. Got a loooot of hand-me-down clothes for my toddler from friends, family, and randos in the neighborhood.

SkyNTP ,

Yes and no. I’m sure there is an argument to be made that a house can be too big. Bigger houses require more maintenance, cleaning, higher taxes. Downsizing a house is also a retirement strategy.

leisesprecher ,

Also, sometimes you just want a tight fit house to show what you got.

Hirom ,

Yes, that’s a better analogy.

Actually swapping house like a hermit crab swap shell would leave very little time to move furniture, put some fresh paint on walls, have the owner review the house to return the security deposit, etc

OmegaMouse , to patientgamers in I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release?
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

I don’t find a lot of the things in the video that relevant to be honest. Not many people speaking online in games? Sure, but I never spoke with randoms to begin with. Discord seems to work fine on the PS5 from my experience. Do either of those things really affect the decision to buy a console? Games taking a while to download - you have the same thing on Steam.

I could definitely see that developers being shackled to the previous generation is an issue. Having to develop/optimise for 11 year old hardware must limit creativity.

Being a patient gamer, I think a lot of the issues people have with lack of current gen games isn’t so much of an issue for me. There are a ton of previous gen games that I never got round to playing, and the PS5 experience in playing them is superior. And there are a ton of current gen games I’ve now got my eye on - GTA 6, Spiderman 2, GoW Ragnarok, Dragons Dogma 2, Baldur’s Gate, FF7 Rebirth, Death Stranding 2, Astrobot, Monster Hunter Wilds, Resident Evil 4 remake and MGS3 remake.

I agree that PC is the best option in a lot of cases. For me, I like sitting back on a sofa with a controller. The Steam Deck is really great for this but it’s not powerful enough to play a lot of modern games at full res. The PS5 is filling that niche for me.

Please_Do_Not , to asklemmy in What Do google Tag Service and google Analytics Do?

Others have defined what GTM does pretty well without a basic definition of it’s most common purpose. Google Analytics (GA4) has a number of conversions it can track automatically on your website, like if someone spends more than 5 minutes on your site after finding it in search results. GTM allows for customization of certain conversion triggers so you can track more specific actions and those that don’t have automatic tracking parameters in GA4. Using GTM just allows for more robust and customizable tracking basically, at least in its most common usage.

onlinepersona , to linuxmemes in Why Are You Staying On Windows 11?

We just have to wait until Windows 12, the cloud OS, and dual boot will be no more. All that’ll be necessary is a browser and a fast internet connection. CoD and Valorant players though… dunno what to do about them. Pro gaming won’t be possible without running windows locally to get the highest framerate.

sunbrrnslapper , to asklemmy in Coolest historical leader?

For me, Stalin falls out of the cool category due to deaths under his leadership (about 3.3 million officially recorded victims).

I have always enjoyed Alice Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt’s daughter. She was brash, witty, at full of antics. Here’s an example: When it came time for the Roosevelt family to move out of the White House, Alice buried a Voodoo doll of the new first lady, Nellie Taft, in the front yard.

SomeGuy69 , to asklemmy in Have you noticed an increase in political fighting?
@SomeGuy69@lemmy.world avatar

Your local opinion, even in a neighboring country, barely differs from another, but internationally via the internet, you are confronted with many more people. Also the internet is mostly bots by now with an agenda.

chakrila , (edited ) to linux_gaming in Just Switch Over

am I wrong in thinking it’s as [e: simple] as “encrypt your drives, keep two partitions, and boot into windows when you need to play something with a kernel anticheat” ? this is what I do today for League whenever i’m in the mood for an ARAM

Rolder ,

For the vast majority of people, that isn’t easy at all.

chakrila , (edited )

yeah but that’s just a usability problem that a guided installer wizard could fix

e: and besides, if your solution to that issue is ‘i’d rather not play’ or ‘that’s really inconvenient’ or ‘whoa slow down buddy not everyone is a GRUB wizard’… then that’s not a compelling sell of ‘just switch over’, is it?

jbk ,

especially if all those windows dual booting experiences from over 10 years ago which is now misinformation wasn’t kept commented like every time someone brings up dual booting

uranibaba ,

It is simple but not convenient. I don’t want to dual boot. I’d rather not play the game at all if that is my only option.

CubitOom ,

It should be, but I’ve had too many issues with windows somehow updating and ruining my boot partion/grub.

If I want to run windows, I only run it on a VM with hardware passthrough or on a totally different machine since physically unseating my Linux M.2 from the motherboard is too much hassle and I don’t want to move it to a PCIe card.
