Games@lemmy.world•Valve's £85 Steam Controller divides gamers ahead of May launchEnglish
5·1 month agoAt least on the Steam Deck, the touchpads are pretty effective as a mouse replacement in games. You wouldn’t play soulslikes with touchpads instead of joysticks, but RTS or 4X games gain a lot from having them.
They also make typing way better compared to selecting letters with a joystick.
They used a napkin, not an actual towel. The French word for napkin is serviette, which is also the word for towel.
Well ortolan was typically eaten with a napkin covering one’s head, to hide one’s shame from God for eating it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why don't chips come in cereal bags?
10·1 month agoWhat heat does cereal go through that chips don’t? And how would it contribute to condensation in one case but not the other?

Games@lemmy.world•The Blood of Dawnwalker lets you complete areas in any order, kill any NPCs you like, and still complete the game after failing every quest: 'We're giving even more freedom to players'English
42·1 month agoThey didn’t say it’s meaningless, just suggested that failing every quest leads to some type of conclusion to the game’s plot. It might not be a good conclusion, but the story ends.
To me, this just sounds like failing a quest doesn’t mean the game is over or that you need to reload a previous checkpoint or save to keep playing.

News@lemmy.world•Democrats Introduce Bill To More Than Triple The Minimum Wage
11·2 months agoAccording to the far right, it’s a far left issue. According to everyone else, it’s a center to center-right issue. There is no far-left in the US.
The only construction geometry is to align the four holes. It’s failing after that extruding the ring from the face of the first pad.
I’m going to try some other stuff to see if I can reproduce it elsewhere, but I tried the tutorial two separate times and it failed at the same point both times. And since I don’t get an error message at any point, I can’t tell what’s going wrong.
Yes, I can expand the Pad001 item and the sketch is still there. If I focus on the sketch item, the sketch appears on the screen and I can modify it, but leaving the sketch mode brings me back to a blank screen.
I’m using the latest version from Flathub.
Nobody’s selling debt to collectors after a couple months, especially not large debts like to a contractor. They want the thousands owed, not pennies on the dollar from a collection agency.
Your phone company will send your debt to collections almost immediately because it’s not worth the hassle of fighting to collect $200 from you when they can get $50 from a collection agency instead.
Ironic, isn’t it?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Whats a good etiquette to show you are doing a U turn in a left turn, so the cars behind you know?
11·2 months agoI think that’s fair, but lots of people can’t navigate without Google Maps, and it’s notorious for directing people to u-turn.
moody@lemmings.worldtoHacking@lemmy.ml•How vulnerable is an exposed USB port in an pharmacy, shop or bank?
5·2 months agoAn exposed USB port is potential attack vector, but that could be mitigated in many ways. It could be through the OS via policies or other security measures, or it could be disconnected within the device itself, for example.

Privacy@lemmy.world•PeerBox, the first fully P2P secure email systemEnglish
2·2 months agoSMS has somewhere to go in between the sender and recipient. Where does this go if I send a message then go offline before the recipient comes online?
It seems like both parties must be online at the same time for the message to be sent. My understanding is that your message will wait on your device until the recipient is online and then will be sent, so if neither party is ever online at the same time, it won’t work.

World News@lemmy.world•US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secretEnglish
3·2 months agoLobbying on its own is not the issue. Nurses’ lobbies and teachers’ lobbies, for example, work for a good cause.
The issue is that lobbying is done in private, and citizens don’t hear about anything until laws are proposed, by which time they already have momentum and are very hard to fight. And once laws are enacted, it’s even harder to reverse them.

World News@lemmy.world•US tech firms successfully lobbied EU to keep datacentre emissions secretEnglish
3·2 months agoLobbyists are people working on behalf of companies whose job is to meet up with politicians to discuss their issues. Typically that involves some back and forth that may or may not be considered bribery.
You want a law to protect your business? You go talk to lawmakers behind closed doors about how some laws are needed to better protect children and also data centers, and subtly let them know that maybe your company might have a job for them in the future.
Those lawmakers then go out and propose these laws and they sell the idea to other lawmakers who approve them for the children and datacenters.

Should we maybe stop being genocidal? Of course not, we should just spend more money on propaganda instead!
