Iirc that means it’ll stay a webp, some program will just fail to open them and the once that can only do it because they recognize the file header and therefore disregard your file extension shenanigans.

What I’m saying is if you do that it’s funny but also completely useless.

From what I’ve heard it’s just really clear copyright infringement.

Raising monopoly is also funny considering this genre is saturated by not only Sony, but also Ubisoft, EA, Valve, …

Yeah that’s gonna be 1.5 bezos

I have learned that communication and empathy between men and between women are very different. Other genders tend to have more complex dynamics.

I think women communicate their empathy more openly. Men usually hide their empathy in gestures or phrases. And I think it’s really hard to show empathy as a man and still “conform”, and as an outsider it’s hard to understand the way men show empathy.

That said I think you are right to some degree (although there is a better way to phrase it, hence the down votes), you are kinda limited in how much empathy you get from men because of the way they communicate. And if they show more, their non-conformity can pose a social risk that can be dangerous to their social acceptance / standing, although I might be speaking from my own perspective here as an AuDHD guy. Turns out when you have autism you are a walking risk so learning this is just a matter of time and risk is baked into every social interaction.

What I’m trying to say is: I think you are right, I think the reasons are very complex but I think bro culture needs an upgrade in that regard.

Did both. Setting up your own VPN is a bit annoying but when it works it works. Tailscale is really easy and solid. For folder syncing I can recommend using tailscale and syncthing. Install both on both devices, then connect the devices in sync thing (it will reciprocate) and then you can add a folder and share it with the other device. Latency for syncing can be 10s-3min, plus the actual file transfer speed.

Knowledge level: configuring software and setting up software. Maybe some basic network troubleshooting if it comes up.

It’s never gonna be as easy as paying for a service that does it for you but this setup is also not that hard.

If you have questions feel free to ask me or other nerds on here, I’m sure they can help you ^^~

Worst case, buy a second copy for your cat, she deserves it :)

Not a Linux nerd but just to make sure you checked the basics: did you verify integrity of the OS image? Are you able to verify your USB, memory and HDD all work in isolation?

My first hunch on this is hardware issue, because you get hard shutdowns from what I can gather. I could be wrong though, I only install OS occasionally.

I’ll take the low hanging fruit and discuss whether this is in line with the community rules:

You are violating rules 1, 2, 5 and arguably 10.

1 & 2 need to no further argument; they are syntactical in nature.

Rule 5: Is about not posting something to further an agenda or spurr debates. Your post is more argument than fact and description. I think that’s pretty self-explanatory.

Rule 10: the fact outlined is not true, and we don’t need to have a religious discussion about that; we can merely look at this in isolation. Whether Jesus is real or not can’t be proven because we project something personally onto him. If you believe in Jesus, that’s fine, but this hasn’t passed the scientific threshold of being a fact.

Mhm apparently there’s a !lostlemmings@lemmy.world but no clue if it’s still active.

Currently Israel is invading Gaza and killing Palestinians in droves. At this point there is one place where an immense amount of war crimes are committed, and it’s Gaza, and the perpetrators are overwhelmingly Israel soldiers and leaders.

Sure we can have a nuanced discussion, but currently the situation is pretty one-sided, so arguing about nuance is misplaced.

There’s a vast amount of false equivalency and whataboutism in your comment and I really hope you are self-aware how dismissive this makes you sound.

Ah so he didn’t like the existing government in Palestine and runs a war of invasion just to install a sock puppet regime in that region.

NGL that’s just as unreasonable as what we all think he is doing. There’s nothing noble about killing civilians.

Yeah the second line had kinky energy for sure.

I like Linus Torvalds. Yes, sometimes he can be cruel, but that’s because he cares a lot about his projects, and managing open source software means you have to be blunt sometimes.

So you are posting in the technology community that you don’t like Linus Torvalds. This is the wrong community and you are being a real asshole. I’m here for interesting articles and not personal beef. Please keep this to yourself or to a community that allows such posts.

Yeah unlike other big companies, Valve still has some trust to rely on. Let’s wait for what they’re saying and doing first.

Also, the quickest path to success will always be to reignin the payment processors. Which should be a no-brainer anyway; they should have no influence on content decisions.

Honestly I’m really happy with how itch.io is handling it. Making sure they still get their money, but quickly reintroducing the games, and telling us the exact reason why they had to disable those games in the first place. Great management.

Yeah they did look kinda cool, but I’m staying cautious for now, especially as long as it’s $60+.

Well the price is $80+. GAMES with higher prices tend to do poorly a lot of the time. Additionally, this is a multiplayer game, so less people buying for the high price also means lobbies might be more on the empty side, which takes away the fun. And then there is also an argument that high prices cover a lower expectation of sales. Although this one might be my naivity about causality.

They talk about the game in abstract terms, and in a way where the hype seems to be more important than the content of the game. Which to me is always a bad sign. If the game is good, why not talk about specifically what the must fun parts were for you?

And even the leak itself suggests at least one person knows the price is a bad look for the content. So that person who has insight, knows it sounds bad. I will boldly infer, that that’s because it’s not worth $80. Which makes it also very probable that it’s far less than even a “moderate” $60, I can’t believe I’m saying this because that’s still an unbelievably high sum of money for a game.

And with all these points remember, battlefield does not have the best track record, so only some of these details indicating a fishy smell will sound the alarm and make me reconsider buying. I don’t have enough trust to extend towards games published under EA, for obviously reason.

These are the reasons that make me not want to consider buying the new battlefield.

Everything makes me think this one is silly

• the price
• the leaks
• the development cycle
• the way they talk about it
• the publisher
• the previous games

And I’m saying this as a former battlefield fan, they’ve thoroughly run the series into the ground. It’s genuinely impressive, it’s not even lucrative anymore I don’t think.

Social engineering is probably 95% of modern attack vectors. And that’s not even unexpected, some highly regarded computer scientists and security researchers concluded this more than a decade ago.
