I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex
Reminder: steam deck verified has to do with the game launching and having gamepad support. Performance doesn’t matter that much. Wait until you see benchmarks before you make decisions, the game can still run like shit on steam deck
In one of the most compelling cases I can argue for the existence of lawyers as a sci-fi fan, let me introduce the 0th and 1st law of robotics
A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
Well you know what they say. What’s the difference between a baby and a bag of coke? Clapton would never drop a bag of coke out a window
Similarly “Clapton’s” I shot the sheriff was originally a Bob Marley song
In fact, being the racist twat he is, Clapton changed a lyric from “I didn’t shoot no deputy” to “I didn’t shoot the deputy”. While only slightly different Clapton’s version implies that those roles are held by two people whereas Marley’s implies it’s the same person. That’s because Marley’s was a protest song saying that the police in his community were sent by colonizers and had no interest in protecting their community. Thus his claim that he did shoot a sheriff (a position he has no respect for) but he did not shoot a deputy (someone the community authorizes to enforce their own rules). That distinction was kind of the entire point of the song and Clapton changed it, presumably due to the aforementioned fact that he is a racist twat
This reminds me of that greentext that was something along the lines of’
Boys, get an autistic GF
2 weeks before every birthday or major holiday I just ask her if there’s anything she’s been wanting recently
I buy exactly the things she’s talking about
Every time she’s blown away at how good my gifts are
It’s just that easy
Inspired by MTG I’d say a Displacer Kitten. Basically a house cat sized version of a Displacer Beast, either naturally young or kept young with magic. All the cuteness of a kitty with the deadliness of a Displacer Beast
Club House Games is an easy recommendation. 51 games that are classics around the world. You probably know how to play the majority of them already. Likewise a Nintendo switch online subscription is the price of a game for a year and comes with N64, GBA, GBC, SNES, NES, and Dreamcast games. Pokémon stadium 1/2, Ecco the dolphin, Kirby super-star saga, Kirby dream course are all good
A. Fucking. Men. Brother
Great point. I’m sure like most things related to shitty American politics if you go back far enough there’s Reagan bullshit in there too. We had a lot of opportunities to not be here, and yet here we are
“Hey I know just made more money than the Roman empire was worth by manipulating politics but ummmmm… could you please make rules that stop you from beating everyone else?”
The time to stop this was in 2016. Democrats had every opportunity and continued to fellate their corporate overlords instead of even paying lip service to their base. We’re in the “find out” phase. I’m sorry you’re losing your job, but guess what, it only gets worse from here
I know this is all about optics, but I’m sure for all the people who have had to deal with the criminal justice system they also know how shitty it is. 91% of cases result in a guilty plea, 7% end up in some sort of dismissal and only 2% actually go to trial. The system is built to make being guilty the easiest choice, and your lawyer will do everything in their power to get you to take it
I’m not certain about the most annoying, but this song is pretty bad
Not what the meme implies but yes. I went to a place in Akihabara that was mostly just one dude at a counter grilling and smoking food. He didn’t speak English so the nice Singaporean gentleman next to me was translating for us. It was a great meal
Clearly you aren’t familiar with the Calvins Twins and their horse boxing empire
I don’t know if it’s exactly what you want but A Las Vegas boy sang gospel songs for 3 hours straight until his kidnappers brought him back back in 2014
Yeah defund the checks notes private non-profit organization run on donations! Oh that’s not what defunding means? He knows that and is watering down the word? He’s doing it so when he slashes funding from the regulatory agencies built to keep shit heads like him in line the MAGA chuds will cheer for him?
It’s sad because it’s obvious what he’s doing, and yet it’s going to work anyway
Calling electric cars part of a hype cycle feels a little disingenuous to me. Either we get rid of cars, society ends, or all cars go electric. Considering that option 1 causes option 2 unless there’s a revolutionary tech breakthrough, I think it’s safe to assume electric cars are the future. Also I don’t forsee a peak in hype for them, there’s generally a lot of resistance to electric cars
Aside from the random dig at electric cars, I largely agree with this article. I don’t think the chicken coop machine learning example is quite clear to non-technical people, but I think it’s probably appropriate for the lemmy userbase
I have zero experience with pottery or Finland so this is just a guess: possibly a necklace display piece? It has a shape like you’d display a necklace on and the black ovals could be good contrast for jewelry?
Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc
