@bbbhltz , oh and on the Switch, several vertical shooters support TATE mode, for which you can e.g. use the FlipGrip.

Here’s a maintained list of the games that are FlipGrip-compatible:

it’s time for you to play PACMAN, as i did when i was young 😂
no AI, no GPU, no shitcoin: you just have to eat ghost, which is very strange in fact when you think about it 🤪

emax_gomax ,

Correction the ghosts are AI and based on how many times they killed me clearly a step above anything mainstream today (º ロ º๑).

You don’t need to wash rice, you can just leave it to soak in water for 30 minutes and it works just as well without the assload of effort.

Sometimes employers give you any title just to avoid giving you more salary when they dump more work on your lap trying to avoid recruiting.

hendrik , to nostupidquestions in Would it be legal to crowdfund a licensed private detective to investigate a public figure and publish their results publicly?

Google says stalking is a crime in 50 US states.

Drusas ,

Private investigations are not considered stalking.

hendrik , (edited )

I seriously doubt that. I didn't read the law but I'd be surprised if it contains an exception for PIs. And I think I read about some private investigators and paparazzi getting into trouble with the law. I mean downvote me all you want, but I'm pretty sure it's a delicate matter not to cross any lines in such a job. And probably more so if you lack a legitimate reason and do surveillance on some person's private life.

skullgiver , to asklemmy in What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

I think paying for blood or other bodily fluids is bad. It provides incentive for desperate people (addicts etc.) to lie on the safety forms to keep getting paid.

I know a few people who donate blood despite not getting anything in return. I personally stopped donating plasma after a few times for health reasons (nothing dangerous in the plasma itself, luckily). To me, being able to help a hospital or a person by simply sitting back and watching shows on my tablet is probably the easiest, laziest charity you can support. The snacks are nice, too.

Not everyone can donate blood, but everyone who is able to, you should consider it, even if you won’t get paid for it. You can doom scroll and browse Lemmy like normal, except you’re sitting in a weird chair and get free food.

I suppose in the shittier countries, where all blood donation stuff is run for-profit, you should let them pay you if they’re making a profit off of you, but I still think it brings a bad incentive.

Hundun , to gaming in What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty

Uncharted, especially the final installment. On normal and higher difficulty dealing with the enemies becomes a bit of a chore: they force you to hide a lot, as well as waste entire clips of ammo on a single guy. On easy the game becomes forgiving enough food you too start pulling off cool stunts: swinging on ropes, shooting during a climb/jump, etc.

It’s just more fun on easy.

Skanky , to cooking in [DISCUSSION] Techniques That Changed Something For You

Learning how to properly sear food them let it cook the rest of the way over low heat. Potatoes, chicken, etc.

Kind of the opposite of that, sous vide steak then sear with a screaming hot cast iron pan.

The broiler in your oven is fantastic for toasting buns and melting cheese on top of stuff. Also good for putting some char on your food if you need that.

hostops , to asklemmy in What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?

When people start getting paid for their blood, overall quality of the blood in such country suffers.

hostops , (edited )

Because less rich and more poor people start donating blood. Due to how much health correlates with social status and money.

The mere existence of such buying blood organization has such effect on a whole country.

In my country you can only donate blood for free. But however for your charity government pays you a meal and day of work.

This “compensation” must be low enough and presented in a way people still consider it a charity. Otherwise it has described effect, and people who actually donate blood feel cheated. Also in my country healthcare is “free” and you can receive blood for “free” which seems “fair” to a person who is donating blood.

tate , to science_memes in Citations

Hah!

But really, anyone who continues along the same line of research for long enough is going to necessarily cite themselves rather than just listing all of the previous results in each paper.

notabot , to linux in VPS encryption

It depends what you want to do with it. If it’s just for storing files/backups then encrypt them before uploading and make sure the key never goes anywhere near the VPS. If it’s for serving up something like a simple website, you probably care more about data integrity than exfiltration, so make sure you have the security, including selinux or equivalent, locked down, and regularly run integrity checks. If it’s for running something interactive, or where data will be generated or downloaded to the machine, you’re out of luck, there’s no even theoretical way of securing that against an adversary with that much access.

possiblylinux127 , to linux in VPS encryption

You don’t really. Treat it as totally untrusted

HubertManne , to asklemmy in What's your stance on "donating" blood plasma?

Maybe it should be like other charitable donations and there should be a set tax deduction per ml or better yet how about they take enough for donation and decanter a portion out an do blood testing both to make sure the blood is clean but alsoso the individual is aware of they are free of X. You could get like a qr code you can use to identify the results later.

I highly recommend the Prism Launcher. You can find it in the standard Linux Mint Software Manager.
