  • You think anticheat will stop this? lol

    My keyboard has macros. No PC software required except to create/modify.

    With little effort you can also turn a raspberry pi into a programmable input device. There are also HDMI to USB dongles that capture video if you need to capture/process frames. I own one.

    All Riot is doing is making the cheats (if they even exist for LoL) stealthier.

    This has nothing to do with cheating. They got tired of support requests coming in. If that wasn’t the case they would have had a solution for Steam Deck/Linux users to go with the announcement.


  • Both Come and Pepsi doubled - tripled their prices in the time between 2020 and 2023.

    In 2019 (in my area) you could get a 2 liter of soda for $0.79-$1.00. Non-sale price was $1.49. A 12 pack of cans was $2-$2.50 on sale with a none-sale price of $4.

    2 liters now are “on sale” for $2-$3 each and non-sale price is $3-$3.50.

    Cans sale price is $4 at minimum and non-sale price is $7.99–8.99 depending on the store.

    I have significantly cut back on my diet soda intake as a result, so i guess there is that?

    To put another way, in the best of times in 2019 I could buy a 5x12 pack of cans for $10. Today I would have to pay $20-$45 for the exact same product depending on if it was on sale or not.

    When our economy finally falters, these companies will be the first to scream for bailouts and other nonsense.

    Like dude, just go back to pre-pandemic pricing.







  • I haven’t seen the alien.top stuff yet, but I had a friend that was working on a reddit bridge project that implements api over html for old reddit and new reddit. The idea was that you could target the api and make the client compatible with both reddit and lemmy. (The API is similar to Lemmy’s)

    I got to play with it before he shelved it, and it worked great.

    This seems like a better approach than the one they are trying to take.

    Lemmy also needs a mechanism for linking your reddit user id (and twitter, and…) with your active lemmy id so users can find each other easier. I am surprised we don’t already have this with mastodon. Twiiter oauth is (used to be? I haven’t touched it in a couple years ) like a 5 minute thing to implement. Reddit apparently also supports oauth.

    If you can sign into lemmy via a reddit login path, you could also do some other fun/interesting stuff.

    Regardless, I don’t really see a need for any of it.

    Lemmy has its own set of issues to deal with.
