A bunch of sites that have seen a noticeable downturn in quality since being acquired by Valnet. XDA and Android Police have really gone to shit lately. GameRant and Collider too. The Valnet guys founded Brazzers, if that gives you any idea of how shady they are.

RIP Polygon.

The popular use for power delivery through a display cable is charging a laptop from your monitor; it's already very common with Thunderbolt or USB-4 monitors. But 480W seems a bit overkill for that.

Don't tell him that he can't do something. Let him figure it out on his own.

IF YOU HAVE EXPERTISE, THEN CONTRIBUTE, DAMMIT: https://developer.gimp.org/core/wgo/

They don't need somebody to tell them their site sucks. They need somebody to HELP them make it better, to DO the work that you seem to be implying is very easy! They're literally begging for it on their website.

200 people that aren't contributing. They actually have a page on their site encouraging people to get involved in the site design: https://developer.gimp.org/core/wgo/

Ah yes, it's a good thing that the only skill required to make a nice website is taking a screenshot

Contributing doesn't happen on Lemmy lol

These projects are run by volunteers, they don't have the unlimited budget for designers that Adobe does. And to be honest, it kinda seems like you're just criticizing them for no good reason. Have you personally designed and built a website that doesn't suck?

I think the author missed the mark here by talking about game preservation, as many are already pointing out in these comments.

The real benefit of buying a physical disc/cartridge copy of a game nowadays is the ability to resell it when you're done playing. That's actually a huge boon if you buy a lot of newly released games at full price, and play on consoles where sales are less common than PC. Reselling games can save you a LOT of money over time.

You get what you pay for. If you are actually concerned about your privacy, then go with Mullvad. If you just want to download stuff for free without getting caught, then Privado is probably fine.

1. If you're connecting to random free Wi-Fi, you're leaving yourself wide open to attacks.
2. A lot of security researchers play with penetration testing scenarios like this. It's how you learn to defend against techniques that real attackers use.

Eh? I don't understand. Either it works on Linux, or it doesn't. Seems like the author just doesn't know how to troubleshoot some compatibility issue on whatever desktop Linux distro they're using.

Because trans people are different, and they're afraid of different people. So they make assumptions that those people are somehow dangerous. Racism, xenophobia, transphobia; it's all the same stupid mentality.

I wonder what foreign government Musk wants to bribe.

1. Context matters. That question is rarely asked by anyone that isn’t a douchebag trying to hit on a woman.
2. From my understanding, even when NOT in the context of douchebaggery, it’s a condescending thing to say to a woman. So much of society wants to put women in a box where they’re expected to look pretty, smile more, talk less, and listen to big strong men with their big manly brains. Being told to “smile more” is pretty triggering for some (but maybe not all) women who are tired of dealing with that shit.

looks like crypto bullshit

What? You need to give us context before you criticize something. I have no clue what you're on about.

He stated that the company was in the “early stages” of creating the device, which is still years away from a possible launch.

Sounds like it's not a real thing yet, in my opinion. Companies as big as Sony are always "exploring" new products, that doesn't mean they'll be real. For the record, I love my Steam Deck, and I hope the portable market expands. But this isn't real news, IMO.

They only speak truths, does that count as a language?
