U.S. Sues Apple, Accusing It of Maintaining an iPhone Monopoly (www.nytimes.com)

The department joined 16 states and the District of Columbia to file a significant challenge to the reach and influence of Apple, arguing in an 88-page lawsuit that the company had violated antitrust laws with practices that were intended to keep customers reliant on their iPhones and less likely to switch to a competing device....

This makes me realize that I can’t think of hardly any videogames with a black character at the forefront.

Sure, there are black playable characters in MOBAs and MMOs, but how many story-driven games have black characters at the forefront?

The most recent one I can think of is Alan Wake 2. And Spider-Man Miles Morales. But there really are so few compared to those with white main characters. Which is sad.

As I’ve heard it, it’s much less of a problem when you’re looking at it straight on and out of bright sunlight. I think it was Honor that released a foldable last year that nearly eliminated it. So they’re close to minimizing it as much as they can

The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

You don’t really with physical these days either, at least not with video games. Lots of games require online services to play then and become bricked when the servers are shut down.

And then most of the time, a disk doesn’t even have the game on it. It’s essentially just a download license for you to download the actual game digitally. It’s all an ownership scam.

It really warms my heart to see unions coming back strong.

I see that rogue Google Play Music icon there. Makes me sad they killed it.

They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

And she gave that excuse as if babies don’t fling themselves all over the place, where looking away for one second could mean they fall off a table or slip underwater.

What absolutely awful negligence.

It’s not just contrast though. It’s weather effects, particle effects, details in textures on the roads, buildings, and other objects.

Camera effects are better, animations are more dynamic, lighting is way more contrasty, but tasteful. There’s also much more detail in distant buildings, making the world feel much bigger than it is.

Rocksteady did a killer job with the Arkham games and the suicide squad game is just not even close.

And after a month, you realized that you Pavloved yourself into thinking your phone was ringing and hating the song when you heard it casually.

It’s like using your favorite song as an alarm. Don’t know how that doesn’t ruin those songs for people.

People are literally only asking for the same console, a few refinements, and with better performing internals.

The form factor is excellent, if a bit flimsy. But games like TOTK and whatever next 3D Mario game comes out deserve to have better graphical fidelity than what the current switch can put out. I stopped playing TOTK because I just kept getting framerate drops.

Please give the Switch 2 more powerful internals!

“Hey, do you want you and your families to stop suffering from a lack of food, clean water, healthcare, and housing? We can fix that.”

Might be a start. But it’s never approached that way.

People don’t usually want to be terrorists. The places these people come from are the poorest on earth and don’t know anything other than suffering and exploitation.

Is this story leaking from the dimension where the Taliban are global leaders of peace, the Kardashians have Nobel Prizes, and Hippopotamus meat is considered a delicacy?

I couldn’t justify $14 a month for YT Premium especially when YT Music sucks so much. And it’s very likely just going to get more expensive.

If they could stop bundling them both together and give me an option to just get rid of ads, I’d probably go back to paying. But for now, NewPipe is a way better experience.

Beehaw as an instance doesn’t have nearly enough content to justify defederation. It wouldn’t be missed if they moved somewhere else.

That being said, I do enjoy the discussions and would personally be disappointed to see it move or be closed off, but not enough to move with it.

Chocolate milk is the least of the problems. And whole milk should be served because fat is fine for you and 2% and skim just replace the fat with sugar for the taste.

But milk is pretty much inconsequential. There are so many other issues like you mentioned. Zero city walkability, poor nutritional education, food is rarely made fresh and with high quality ingredients, we have too many preservatives, too much sugar, and too many chemicals.

It won’t get better until we fix so many issues.

rgb3x3 ,

The united states. Our sugar industry lobbied hard for the government to tell everyone that fat is bad for you and funded false studies saying so.

So low-fat and fat-free foods became the norm and to make up for the lack of flavor, companies added loads of sugar to everything and got people addicted to it.

And there’s never been a worse time to be making them.

The industry keeps consolidating and there were a ton of layoffs, despite great profits.

This year was great, but sad.

Was called Bump. And then Apple introduces it this year as if it’s some new thing.

I have no idea why sharing files between devices has to be so complicated. Bring the devices close together, get NFC connected, use P2P wifi to send the files. This is not that difficult.

Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com)

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...

It’s better than arguing with the customer.

Simple explanations like “we felt we were under X constraints” or “our engine didn’t handle the loading times as well as we had hoped” would be just fine.

Instead, they just seem to be telling the players they’re wrong for disagreeing with many of the design decisions made

I’m surprised they’re not more popular given how close their music is (or at least was early on) to Tame Impala.

I think it’s great psychedelic rock without going too experimental.

I crack literally every knuckle in my fingers. I crack my wrists, elbows, neck (that one actually has caused issues), and can even crack my toes and knees sometimes.

I really really want to stop, but as soon as I feel that pressure in my joints, I just have to pop it.

How has that not been a feature from the beginning?

Google is so big that the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing and they can’t even have a cohesive platform of features.

I’m realizing now that this would have been super useful when I worked in Loss Prevention way back when. Wish I had known…

Is this for your home? If it is, you don’t really have to worry about someone stealing your desktop. If someone breaks into your home, they’re looking for quick cash and jewelry and TVs. They’re not going to bother stealing your server to dig through files for something usable.

Oh that’s a really good point. Don’t trust the cops, keep everything encrypted.

Way safer in those situations.

Anyone know any good books in the same vein as Robinson Crusoe, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Count of Monte Cristo, and Don Quixote?

I tend to really enjoy the old classic adventure novels.

Probably just send them the encyclopedia brittanica

Drop all the entertainment articles, etc.

Or send only the entertainment articles. Why wouldn’t the aliens want to hear about the life and exploits of Leonardo DiCaprio?

Seriously, how has there not been a survival RPG Battle Royale in the style of the Hunger Games?

Create a character with certain traits and skills using the same number of allotted points that everyone gets, then survive for 30 minutes to win.

Could be a bow hunter or a nature specialist, a sword fighter or a trap-maker. You could be strong, tall or fast and small with the ability to climb trees or swim better. How has this not been made yet?
