Hopefully that means the PC port is coming soon!

Plus, I suppose that the small size of the payload will make the potential for widespread radiation poisoning lower in case of an accident.

Still waiting on thorium and fusion reactors to be a thing. If nuclear is a necessity in the meanwhile, the least they can do is to build them in a place far away enough from the general population and natural resources, that way the containment zone in case of a breach would be a lesser loss.

Here in Costa Rica we have plenty of those:

  • El Cadejos (the chain-hound): a black dog wrapped in chains, said to appear in the night to scare drunkards straight, and allegedly a former drunkard itself.
  • La Segua (or La Cegua): a woman that seduces men at night, then shows her true form as a human with the head of a horse, an event which is said to scare men to death.
  • La Llorona (the crying lady): a woman who lost her child, by drowning in a river in several sources, and cries loudly for that during the night.

Costa Rica here and, while we don’t exactly have an “abode of the madmen” like Florida, we do have our particular spots on the map:

  • San Carlos on the north is a rural place, and so it has become our Alabama / Monterrey
  • Desamparados, Pavas and La Carpio are the epicenters of crime
  • Puntarenas (on the Pacific) and Limón (on the Atlantic) are the main ports of the country. Both of them are attacked severely by poverty and drug lords. Limón has the particularity of being the place where most African-Americans in the country come from, via Jamaica back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s.

The sad thing about having to live with your parents in this economy, is that I can’t possibly take a proper vacation day. If I did, my mom would most certainly use it to get me to do some extra chores. Even if I went to a hotel, half of the time would be spent unpacking and the other half repacking.

Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it? (www.theatlantic.com)

Personally, that’s one of the reasons why I haven’t bothered to watch a TV series for almost a decade now. Between this, the constant crackdown on piracy, the outrageous prices for original media, and the constant moral issues from popular culture icons and media CEOs, I’d rather sleep in my free time

Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life?

I’m majoring in CS related-field, and I used to have tons of passion for it and underlying tech, and worked as full stack dev, but my mind was very different in a good way (better at logical/cognitive demanding tasks, creative, productive, etc). Things happened, and I just can’t stand living in society, experiencing all this...

csolisr ,

Fun fact: I’m actually aiming to do just that someday. My work is mostly remote, so if I can manage to live just close enough to the city and with enough space to get my own plantation, I could feasibly live off the grid with only a subscription to the Internet

csolisr ,

Unless you assume that the wearer is necessarily Shintoist, which is quite the stretch

csolisr ,

In a similar vein to you: a first generation Razer Kishi mobile phone controller for about a quarter of the price I’d get it imported to my country. Barely any previous use from what I saw. I’d be using it more often if the stick cap hadn’t worn off with my usage of it.

About the only complaint I have about him is that he still owned slaves.

csolisr ,

That sounds an awful lot like “the boy refused to cross his powerful father, therefore he deserved to die”

csolisr ,

I mean, if it’s because of legal reasons, wouldn’t they request KYC paperwork before depositing the first bet instead of after? You know, since handling dirty money is still a crime even if the money is locked in the casino

Investigator assures that [presidents] Evo and Arce donated 12 stolen cars (latin-american.news)

After the controversy that arose from the donation to Conamaq of a stolen vehicle in Chile, the director of the Vehicle Search Group (GBV), Hugo Bustos, revealed to this medium that there are at least 12 cars with reports of theft in Chilean territory that were donated to the governments of Evo Morales and Luis Arce.

Considering that AliExpress and Wish have the bad fame of being both dirt-cheap and dirt-quality, I was surprised that Temu actually managed to snatch a slice of the budget pie. Temu being a privacy trojan to fetch as much personal data from gullible customers as possible makes a lot of sense in retrospect

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

csolisr ,

The fact that things are able to float, despite of gravity pulling all objects towards the big mass of Earth. You would think that the push of gravity should be more than enough to overcome the slight fluid displacement that allows balloons and boats to push away from the Earth’s surface.

Wow, a reply that goes above and beyond, have some Lemmy Silver 🥈

csolisr ,

I was using OG SearX for the longest time, it was only until very recently that I discovered that:

  • SearXNG was a thing
  • SearX had not been updated in years
  • and most importantly, that I had been stuck with the unmaintained edition without me even noticing
csolisr ,

Wondering what will Elmo choose to do: redirect all requests from twitter.com to x.com, or push a 404 on the twitter.com domain just to force all the websites that still embed tweets, er, posts to acknowledge the new URL.

csolisr ,

Opera has unfortunately given up and switched to Chromium as its backend.

csolisr ,

Unless the developers of other browsers take specific steps, the ad engine will get pulled on the next update of their Chromium engine, that’s the problem.

csolisr ,

Pretty much every web-app wrapped into a desktop environment uses Electron, which is based in Chromium.

csolisr ,

Yeah, about that…

csolisr ,

Unless you can run them over Firefox, using this for example

csolisr ,

Japan has one of the most draconian copyright laws in the world. You can’t even rent your own books or disks unless the copyright holder allows for it. I’ve been puzzled at the fact that they have allowed Let’s Plays (and memes and remixes and doujin works for that matter) for such a long time.

csolisr ,

Their idea of optimization in console was to cap the frame rate to 30, even on the Series X. So you can wonder what that means for PC

csolisr ,

Curiously enough, the “start” button is now more of a “pause” button. Sometimes also a “skip cutscene” and “open menu” button. Microsoft was into something by actually renaming it to “menu” in the Xbox, since that’s what it’s used for nowadays. Sony probably chose to call it “options” on the PS4 onwards solely to avoid being sued for plagiarism.

The headphone jack would be less painful of a loss if phone manufacturers started adding a second USB-C port on top of the device. That way you wouldn’t have to choose between charging your phone, listening to your game without lag and in privacy, or carry a dongle to try doing both things at the same time.

And that’s why I have a weekly cronjob in my server to call BleachBit, remove cycled logs, and compress the images on my storage. Having to make do with a rather limited VPS for years taught me to be resourceful with what I had

csolisr ,

Purchasing a self-hosted server to avoid having to pay a truckload of money in storage space. Well, not only did I have to rent a smaller VPS anyways to bypass my ISP restrictions on incoming traffic (curse you CG-NAT!) but I also managed to brick two $100-ish microservers in two different attempts to patch them against BIOS vulnerabilities. If I ever manage to get the circuitry to save those devices though, they might work as a nice TV box each

csolisr ,

Yes I do - in fact I’m using a VPS with Wireguard to serve the website I’m replying to you from. I also use Zerotier at times to connect to my desktop computer while outside of my house.

The more technology progresses in our ultracapitalist environment (and even some ultrasocialist ones like China), the more people are forced to become Luddite self-sustainable hermits in the middle of nowhere for their own good. It’s not even to not buy a car - even something as simple as taking a bus or a train or even a pair of shoes is poised to become a privacy nightmare sooner or later.

csolisr ,

This reminds me of the McFly ray tracing plugin for ReShade - turns out somebody else has already made an open-source alternative

csolisr ,

Well he managed to snag a sponsorship from Nvidia thanks to his shenanigans. Which probably says more about Nvidia than about the guy, to be honest.

csolisr ,

Or at the very least, add a way to sideload DRM-free games. That’s why I love my PS3, WiiU and even my Switch to an extent.

csolisr ,

Why does it not surprise me to see a certain elongated muskrat razing privacy policies to the floor, again

csolisr ,

And then there’s me, who’s just self hosting precisely to follow whomever the heck I want to instead of who the admins haven’t gotten angry with yet

csolisr ,

What about total cumulative pain suffered? If somebody particularly nasty managed to find a way to continuously torture a person while staying just below the threshold of complete organ failure, and the victim was artificially kept alive and suffering for several years, that would tick both your criteria at the same time

csolisr ,

And to make things worse, the religious conflicts are also political conflicts, because of the Muslim-majority parts of India eventually splitting into Pakistan and later Bangladesh. As a result, nationalist Indians want all Muslims to be deported to either of those places, as they consider them fundamentally incompatible with the national faith and culture, which for them are one thing and the same.

csolisr ,

It’s sad to have the rushed ramblings of a bigot become the fundamental block of the modern world wide web. Why couldn’t it be at least made by a more competent bigot like Carmack?

csolisr ,

To be frank, I can’t. There is a compounded problem in my case - my only major social contact is my mother who’s wound up being rather controlling. My father left, my sister is reducing contact with her, my family on my father’s side has moved away from us for obvious reasons, and I never really had much of a friendship in school, or high school, or college for that matter. That leaves me woefully unaware of how to interact in an existing social circle without feeling like a burden to them, so I basically live as detached from society as possible.

csolisr ,

Not gonna lie, I misread it at first and thought to myself “yeah, Todd Howard fans are that maniacal, makes sense”

csolisr ,

Here in my country we just call it Lizano

csolisr ,

Fun fact, the Spanish X used to be pronounced like the Greek χ, which is why Meχico, Teχas and Oaχaca are pronounced the way they are now in English (formerly like a “kh” and now like a “ks”)

csolisr ,

In Spanish they do rhyme and their endings are pronounced the exact same, as in Kansas. I was greatly puzzled when I discovered that the French managed to mangle the name Arkansas that badly back in the day

csolisr ,

“Mildly” infuriating is an understatement, that is downright predatory behavior. Shelling out money you may or may not have in order to find a potential answer to an urgent problem you currently have is high in the list of scumbag moves. In related topics, why does the same thing happen often in regards to mental health support online?

csolisr ,

To think that it takes several thousands of dollars of equipment, for humans to imitate the mere residues of what any animal can do on the regular!

csolisr ,

I’ve been avoiding spoilers for FF XVI precisely waiting for this announcement. Hopefully they don’t pull the same shenanigans as last time and release it on Epic Games only.
