Pika , 6 months ago to piracy in Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

They are going about it the wrong way with reddit. All they gotta do is show the $$$$ and spez will bend right over with that information. After all that’s all he seems to see.

Pika , 6 months ago to nostupidquestions in If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?

Honestly, I think if Trump died instantaneous there would be a massive movement claiming that the current Administration was the cause of death and they would use the most recent judicial hearing regarding Seal Team 6 as evidence towards it. There would be no proof of anything because like you said it was a natural death but that would not be enough to prove anything and I believe there would still be riots

As for if the president dropped dead, the vice president would take over and there would likely be an investigation into an assassination attempt but I don’t think anything would come out of it because like mentioned it would be a natural death.

Honestly this would be a good method. Limit AI voice acting to only single use NPC such as Town folk when you visit a town and then have like shopkeepers or party members or the main character actual voice. You aren’t expecting much out of those temporary characters anyway so them having weird Oddity voices isn’t going to be super jarring for the environment. Plus it will help you as the player realize which characters are supposed to be part of the story and which ones are there for just Scenic effect

I think this was what I was planning on switching to when my current password manager subscription ran out anyway, and coincidentally I think it’s going to run out around the same time so this might be the alternative I try. I didn’t realize that you were able to use one time use codes via it

well I’m now in the market for a new MFA app, anyone have any recommendations? Preferably one with a desktop alternative.

Pika , 6 months ago to til in TIL the trump campaign directed collaborators to forge and mail in false 2020 electoral documents to try to trick the national archives into certifying trump as the victor in states he lost to Biden.

What surprises me is the fact of how little this was actually broadcasted. There was thousands of reports on MSNBC and CNN about how there was claims to be election fraud, but generally it was covering the other side saying it was done to them not actual evidence showing that they did the fraud.

I blame entertainment news as the reasoning for it, they had been much more apt to cover the international conflicts then what’s happening domestically because it’s attracting more viewers

It’s too pricey for me even if it existed in my area, I loved the food but it was overcharged

I love that the website has a mobile format, but thd content is like “what’s mobile?” and text is just everywhere

It doesn’t say you go back I time, just become younger, but if that’s how it works I could do that route, and have an early start on everything.

Pika , 6 months ago to memes in Which pill do you choose?

blue pill, my existing knowledge won’t help me cause I’m not in a position to actually change things. 10 million dollars though… I could invest that and call it a day

Pika , 6 months ago to asklemmy in What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

I don’t agree with your Microsoft shills comment but, I do agree with the statement that a lot of the “don’t use Unix” posts are either people who haven’t actually tried it/echo chambering it or classic cases of “help I’ve tried nothing and I’ve run out of ideas”. You never see the same comments saying “Don’t use Mac” despite that MacOS is based off the same system and shares almost all of the points stated.

As someone who actually jumps between windows and Mint, I can say that for the everyday person and even gamers nowadays it’s for the most part of seamless transition. LibreOffice is basically a 1:1 copy of MS office and I find my Mint system lightyears more stable then my windows 10 system. For gaming Steam litterally does everything for you now, you don’t even have to mess with wine manually anymore which was my biggest gripe. The only games I have found to not work are games that the devs for some reason decided to intentionally disable support for (talking about you Epic Studios and Roblox). I plan to fully nuke my Windows 10 install when Windows 11 is required in favor of just using a Mint install exclusively, I just lack the energy to do that change when I have a functional system still.

man you are going to /hate/ windows then lol, the blue screen doesn’t even give an error code anymore, just a “oops something went wrong” screen.

Pika , 6 months ago to technology in Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

I swear if this becomes mainstream I’m going back to ancient keyboards again. That’s rediculous lol I am already annoyed at the volume buttons they have on my keyboard and that is not in the way.
