which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They’re just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

I’d recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

FF3 is… okay. It introduces the character class system, which you’ll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

Oh so some Republicans still quietly like freedom, got it.

Yes, but also there are many adult children for whom the same applies.

“Good faith” = corporations screwing you

“Bad faith” = you screwing corporations

There, I’ve simplified it.

I am so confused… this is being posted to lemmy.film. That’s like walking into a 7-Eleven and asking if there’s some place where you can buy a flavored ice drink.

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

I do understand what you’re saying - specific communities for different movies & shows. What I didn’t realize is that lemmy.film doesn’t allow community creation. If they did, that would allow people to create communities just like you’re saying.

I don’t know of any other film-centric instances, but try searching here I suppose: lemmyverse.net

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

Apologies, didn’t see the “Create Community” button up top like I’m used to on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, etc. And I’m browsing from old.lemmy.world most of the time anyway. :P

OP, go be the change you want to see and create the communities for the movies & shows you want.

As someone currently watching Mister Roger’s Neighborhood with my 2yo and having just completed TNG and started DS9 with my 9yo, this is fantastic.

Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to “set us free”.

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

I’d say it’s more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.

But all the Musk bros told me he’s a “free speech absolutist”

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

Is it “do nothing and continue to pretend everything’s fine while taking huge amounts of money from the fossil fuel lobbyists”? Because I bet that’s the plan.

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

Pretty sure it’s an old businessman thing. “Go for (my name)!” in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

Right? That’s like giving your age in days. “Oh, I’m a little more than 15,000 days old.”

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

I’m not saying this is happening, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we found out that Musk was leaking any and all traffic from Starlink, including Ukraine military comms, in the name of “”“free speech”“”.

DarraignTheSane , 10 months ago

Ah, well, “designed to run over the internet”. Okay then. I guess no ISP has ever been able to MitM intercept traffic.

Isn’t that just the progressive left? As far as I know we don’t worship figureheads like the fascist right with their orange demigod.

Brave users remind me of Joe Rogan bros. I wonder what that Venn diagram looks like.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

The problem is that many peoples’ opinions tend to be ill informed, irrational, and stupid.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

There’s no real conflict of rights, unless you believe that people should be forced by the government to be live organ donors. That “future person” has no more rights to a woman’s uterus than I do as an adult to my mother’s blood & organs if I get into a car accident.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

No I get it, you’re playing devil’s advocate in 1,000 words, but it’s all for naught. That’s all it comes down to - if someone is “pro life”, their opinion is that people should be forced by the government to be live organ donors. And yes, their opinion can then absolutely be dismissed out of hand, because it is irrational and does not respect the rights of the human they are forcing into organ donor slavery.

I’m not even here to debate the personhood status of a fetus, an embryo, a zygote, etc… No human (or potential human) has the right to take blood and tissue from another human by government force.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

I’m not playing devil’s advocate

Yes, you are. If you don’t believe you are, you need to look up the definition of the term:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil's_advocate

In common language, the phrase ‘playing devil’s advocate’ describes a situation where someone, given a certain point of view, takes a position they do not necessarily agree with (or simply an alternative position from the accepted norm), for the sake of debate or to explore the thought further using valid reasoning that both disagrees with the subject at hand and proves their own point valid.

I’m pointing out that this is not an objective truth

Then you’re a little hazy on the topic of government-mandated organ donation slavery. Okay.

This topic has a lot of parallels to the debate on capital punishment

I’m not going to debate for or against capital punishment, but the two situations are not comparable unless you believe that pregnancy is a capital crime deserving of the punishment of forced organ donation slavery.

Does this apply to vaccines?

Unfortunately, yes. While it would have been nice and would have saved many more lives if everyone had been forced to get vaccinated, the government cannot force that on anyone. They can require that government workers and military either get vaccinated or lose their jobs / be discharged from service, however.

Now, is there anything else you’d like to throw out as devil’s advocate?

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

You’re right, I made the mistake of engaging your falsehoods instead of immediately dismissing them out of hand. No, now that I come to think of it, vaccinations and forced birth are not the same because vaccinations do not require you to remove blood and tissue from yourself and give them to another person. So, apologies that I gave your devil’s advocate argument an ounce of credence.

I have not once defended anti-choice. I am pointing out that the arguments many people use to defend abortion-choice aren’t well thought out

Yes, by using pro-life baseless arguments and assertions in a devil’s advocate fashion to point out why you believe we shouldn’t immediately dismiss them as the irrational drivel they are.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

A “hypothetical” in this case is no different than JAQing off, which is itself a modern version of playing devil’s advocate, but in bad faith.

You began (as you said in your original comment) with a losing premise, in that every argument you can put out there to try to lend any validity to pro-life views can and will be dismissed as baseless drivel that ignores the rights of the women that would be forced into organ donation slavery.

I will agree with the one premise that every argument that isn’t “the government can’t force people into organ donation slavery” can also be dismissed out of hand as being irrelevant to the only aspect of this topic that matters.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

No, a hypothetical is just helping people see a logical inconsistency

Yes, just like JAQing off. That’s all that they want to do right? Just ask questions that point out logical inconsistencies? What’s so wrong about that? Who would possibly say that Tucker Carlson didn’t always have the best of intentions using this exact same method?

If you want to push the vaccine angle, then yes, sometimes, nuance exists in life. Government workers and military should absolutely be required to choose between vaccination and being let go. That does not mean that women should be forced into organ donation slavery by the government, and you continuing to try to link the two is absolutely JAQing yourself the fuck off.

No one who’s in favor of government-forced organ donation slavery is going to change their mind. The only way to fight fascism is to dismiss it out of hand. Giving it any amount of validity is letting it win.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

It means that “my body, my choice” isn’t the argument people pretend it is

On this I am in agreement with you, and have never used that argument. The only valid argument is “government can’t force people into organ donation slavery”.

but it’s very unlikely if no one bothers to try to change it

Those people who have “changed their mind” on abortion haven’t done so through rational discussion with those who know that forced organ donation slavery is wrong. Like any conservative, they had to see the results of their lack of concern for others have an impact on themselves or others that they care about, or at least others who look the same as they do.

Once white forced-birth mothers started dying, being forced to give still births, and crying on the witness stand, some of the “centrists” (i.e. conservatives who want to pretend they’re not) began to see the monsters they had become.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

You’re right, I do give up on “conservatives” and fascists. I don’t hold it against you for trying, but I believe that the only way to win with fascists is to not play their game, and to simply oppose them wherever and whenever they crop up. No, ultimately I don’t believe that you or anyone else who claims to have swayed a few opinions have ultimately made any difference in people with no regard for others, so I will continue to have no regard for them.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

You make the mistake of thinking that their resolve isn’t already absolute. I think it’s a luxury of ignorance of people who don’t live in deep red states and don’t know just how deep-seeded their fear and hatred of others is.

And no, I will no longer strive for “understanding” of fascists who hate and harm others. I understand them perfectly well, and their views disgust me. Those who do continue to “strive for understanding” are only enabling them, and are the people who have allowed the situation to get as bad as it has in the U.S.

But go ahead, keep tolerating the intolerant.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

No, allowing fascists to continue being fascists is what got us here. I had sympathy and understanding for those people in the past, and now we have Nazis. I’m done with sympathy/understanding/tolerance of those who have none.

When it comes to Samsung, look at their “Pro” TVs, which are intended for businesses to use for digital signage. I’ve never had to deal with any of the very few smart features it has popping up or annoying me in any way.

I’m no expert on picture quality but it looks damned good to me, and it’s supposedly built to run 24/7 and not burn out since as said it’s intended for digital signage.

This isn’t being kept 100% up to date it seems. Photos 247 A & B are actor Jay Johnston who was arrested, but the pictures haven’t been updated with the ARRESTED tag at the bottom.

1Password is good from what I understand, but yes it’s expensive compared to the competition. It just… is, and they don’t mind because they’re going primarily after enterprise business.

BitWarden is pretty much the leader in the field and has been for some time, not counting self-hosted only apps e.g. KeePass.

Not to mention, the Premium plan only costs $10/year or $1/month. I used the free version for sharing passwords with my SO for years until I wanted to start storing TOTP codes, which requires premium.

Does having a pihole somehow stop people from posting AMP links?

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

Because a pihole doesn’t stop people from sharing AMP links, it only prevents you from viewing them. So it’s probably not a good answer to give when someone recommends that other people not use AMP links.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

Don’t get me wrong, a pihole is good to have for anyone who has the competency to set one up. They’re not the answer to stopping people from sharing AMP links, is all.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

Everyone’s going to say No, and “just subscribe to the most active one”, but if you’re a ‘Fediverse completionist’ and want to ensure that there’s not a single thing you miss anywhere at any time, then the answer is Yes.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

Correct. Ultimately it’s up to each person how much they want to extend themselves into the Fediverse. You really can’t follow everything everywhere all the time, so you need to pick what you want your feed to consist of.

I’ve subscribed to any redundant tech / IT security related communities no matter how many of them there are, because I always want to stay current on any news that could impact the network environment I manage.

On the other hand, I like seeing some memes, but [email protected] will absolutely flood your front page if you subscribe to it, so I stick to a few smaller meme subs like [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].

I’d bet they reacted like they did specifically because the person is a minor - a minor who is in the care of the airline and who they’re responsible for until they reach the intended destination. If the final flight arrived without the minor on it without it being intended, they would most certainly have some level of liability for the minor’s whereabouts.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

Yep. It’s because assholes who cry about “free speech” tend to not understand this - xkcd.com/1357

If the question asked was “do you agree to the contract?” and the farmer answered “👍”, then yeah I can see it. But if the question asked was “have you received the contract?”, then this ruling is bullshit. Unfortunately the article doesn’t have enough information either way.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

Ah, well then yeah he should have been more explicit, or simply not replied.

DarraignTheSane , 11 months ago

Most posts and subscriptions to lemmy.ml don’t work from lemmy.world as well, in my experience. To clarify - they work, but no one at lemmy.ml sees your posts, and the subscriptions all permanently say ‘Subscribe Pending’.

(I know this post is a month old, but I just came across it.)

We deal with this by not dealing with it, so to speak. We keep the on-prem AD account disabled and just move it to a synced OU called “Terminated”, then strip all group memberships/permissions from it. Once we’ve held onto the shared mailbox for the required length of time, we then delete both the on-prem AD account and the shared mailbox.
