My brain autocorrected so hard I didn’t realize it was wrong until this comment.
creamlike504@jlai.luto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a way to encrypt or password-protect part of a video?English2·1 month agoThe closest I’ve seen is those videos where they have to censor it and send you to Patreon for the full version.
Not if they’re the kind of users my parents are. An update moves a button from the bottom-left to the bottom-right and suddenly “the app you gave me is broken again”.
Also, don’t sneak-change things on other people’s phones.

…
A social media account linked on Steam to the game’s developer includes a post suggesting Ukraine’s refusal to surrender will provide “a lot of content to make more missions in our game”.
I’m pretty sure that qualifies.

bountyGoFundMe that anyone can contribute to anonymously.It keeps an up-to-date ranking of everyone worth over 1 billion, and pays out to anyone who removes someone from the list.
Slight tangent: Would blocking still work if they tried to send nudes via Snapchat?
I’m not “asking for a friend,” I’m just curious how effective this feature could possibly be.
There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you’re expecting a child.
I like this in theory. But I know in practice some idiots will always manage to get their hands on the curriculum.
creamlike504@jlai.luto Games@lemmy.world•70% of games that require internet get destroyedEnglish10·2 months agoThese are the total numbers and includes the at-risk games. Which may not be helpful to some, since the fate of those games is unknown.
creamlike504@jlai.luto Games@lemmy.world•70% of games that require internet get destroyedEnglish39·2 months ago…Dead games, which means no one on Earth can currently play the game. It’s not possible…
…At-risk games, which means these games are currently working, but they’re designed in such a way that the second the publisher ends support, they will become dead games without some sort of intervention…
…Dev Preserved, which means the game would have died, but the publisher or developer implemented some sort of endof life plan, so now the game is safe…
…Fan Preserved, where the publisher did nothing or practically nothing to save the game, but fans managed to either hack it to remove dependencies or reverse engineer a server emulator so that the game was saved in spite of the publisher actions.

creamlike504@jlai.luto World News@lemmy.world•Israel says it will allow ‘basic’ aid into Gaza after nearly 3 months of blockadeEnglish16·2 months agoAfter blowing up the aid trucks.
We did not blow up an aid truck. We blew up terrorists.
After evidence comes out that, yes, it was an aid truck.
Well, they did not properly identify themselves as an aid truck.
Video evidence comes out that they identified themselves on the truck, with their uniforms, and during direct conversation with the soldiers who then killed them anyway.
One of the aid workers was totally a terrorist. He was hiding a bomb in his underpants, we swear!
Everyone knows this is an obvious lie.
And what are you going go do about it? Tweet at us?

“Well, that co-op just outside of downtown is doing fine. Molly’s daughter worked there when she was in high school and said it was the best job she ever had. I guess communists can do some things right.”
is an improvement over
“I’ve never met a communist, but I know they’re all stupid and evil. I’m going to vote against anything with the word socialist or communist next to it because [media personality] told me so.”
creamlike504@jlai.luto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an important (in your opinion) skill too many people seem to lack?English6·2 months agoI think our skill to process information has natural limits, which were overwhelmed decades ago by the social media firehose and a breakdown of information-filtering infrastructure.
an average edition of a newspaper the size of The Times already contains more information about the world than a person in the 17th Century was likely to come across in a lifetime. (Wurman, Information Anxiety)
That was back in 1989. We’re now 30 years later with an internet supercharged by predatory algorithms.
And we can’t filter all of it without either completely withdrawing from the world entirely or spending months learning why and how to filter it ourselves.
We have had information overload in some form or another since the 1500s. What is changing now is the filters we use for the most of the 1500 period are breaking, and designing new filters doesn’t mean simply updating the old filters. They have broken for structural reasons, not for service reasons. (Shirky, It’s Not Information Overload. It’s Filter Failure)
creamlike504@jlai.luto News@lemmy.world•Kids born today are going to grow up in a hellscape, grim climate study findsEnglish9·2 months agoIn an analysis of human exposure to climate change extremes — such as heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires, cyclones and crop failures — researchers found that children born in 2020 are two to seven times more likely to face one-in-10,000 year events than those who were born in 1960.
Why pick (great) grandparents as the reference point?
Wouldn’t it be more practical to compare them with their parents?
Edit: the actual study does show comparative data for other cohorts (i.e. every decade since 1960). Unless the average LiveScience reader is in their 60s, they just picked a weirdly unrelatable way to describe the study.
creamlike504@jlai.luto World News@lemmy.world•A Forged Document Throws Kushner's Belgrade Trump Hotel Project Into DoubtEnglish10·2 months agoSerbian prosecutors on May 14 announced that the cultural official in charge of the site’s historic designation had forged a key document and had been arrested. Goran Vasic, the acting director of the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, admitted he had fabricated an expert’s opinion.
“Vasic forged a proposal for a decision to revoke the status of cultural property,” prosecutors said in a statement.So they forged a document in order to un-protect the building site?
It’s to give talking points to the politicians they paid for.
