It depends on which app you’re using. Voyager displays it out to 30 days, IIRC. But I think you can also configure that somewhere in the settings. I recently made this account after being here for over a year, so it’s amusing seeing the baby face next to my own comments.

If you do, I’d love to seed it. I’ve been looking for good copies of this for a while.

I have struggled to find good downloads for a lot of the older stuff. Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry both come to mind; I’d love to have them on my server, but haven’t had the time to drive all the way to my parents’ place to get my old DVDs to rip. And even if I did get the DVDs, there’s a non-zero chance that they’re rotted. So I tried downloading them, but finding properly seeded torrents for content that old has been a struggle.

Yeah, OoT feels dated by modern standards, but that’s largely because it set the standard for 3D games. Future games have built upon the mechanics, but OoT was what paved the way.

It’s a reference to the mobile game Geometry Dash. Teacher walks in, and says “do you speak Geometry Dash?” The kids are “speaking” the music from some of the levels. She shuts down the first two, but the third responds with the “correct” answer.

Basically, Trump’s war team accidentally added the lead editor for The Atlantic to a Signal group chat where they were discussing detailed war plans.

It immediately raised a lot of questions with uncomfortable answers. Why are they using Signal, which doesn’t comply with federal records keeping requirements? Why didn’t anyone notice the massive security breach immediately? What was discussed, and how would it impact national security? Did anyone besides the editor have access to the chat? Was Pete Hegseth (current Secretary of Defense, and a known alcoholic who has been caught drunk at work numerous times) drunk when he added the editor to the chat? Why does one of the chat members’ flight logs show them in Russia during the time that all of the sensitive messages were being sent? Along with a lot of other questions, that are honestly too numerous to list…

There are systems that will use a hidden hyperlink (which only a bot would see and use) which directs them to an infinitely long/wide junk link tree. It means they end up trapped in bot-purgatory and stop crawling the rest of your site.

The issue is that it means you end up consuming resources just to keep the bot trapped.

Here’s a reminder that packing the 5th circuit with extremist judges was a large part of the Southern Strategy.

Blizzard is bad about this with WoW too. A lot of the content is only available as launch-day cinematics, and is vaulted once the expansion has launched. Getting the full plot for WoW as a new player is basically impossible, because so much of the game has been hidden from players.

It’s to create FOMO, and keep players active. If players know they can access content whenever they want, there’s no incentive for them to log in right now.

This is the worst way to go about doing it, because you should never assume a drawing is made to scale unless it is specifically marked as such. A protractor would be useless if the drawing isn’t to scale. Generally speaking, if a problem isn’t drawn to scale, it’s because all of the info you need to solve it is already present in the drawing. You don’t need to bust out the protractor to measure angles, because the angles can either be calculated from the available info, or aren’t needed in the first place.

Isn’t Gunzilla Games the company that released a bitcoin miner disguised as a mobile game? I swear I remember seeing something about them being banned from the various app stores for trying to bury miners in their shit, but a basic google search didn’t find anything.

Edit: It looks like they’re trying to use blockchain to mint in-game items as NFTs.

Watching Dutch slowly descend into paranoia and separate himself from Arthur (primarily due to Micah’s manipulation) was a wonderful bit of environmental storytelling. It was a B-plot that was running in the background whenever you return to the gang campsite… But Arthur only really begins to see it after it is too late for him to stop. Because by the time Arthur realizes what is happening, Dutch has already firmly made up his mind about Arthur, and Arthur has already started trying to get out of the life. And Arthur having doubts only serves to cement Dutch’s paranoia.

I was pleasantly surprised by New Dawn. I had some big complaints about 5, so I initially assumed New Dawn (being a direct sequel to 5) was going to be more of the same. It was an interesting take on the series’ formula.

The issue is that Disney’s army of lawyers will claim that any Snow White is based on theirs, not the original fairy tale. And they’ll be able to win it in court, purely by turning the legal fight into a battle of attrition for the defense.

Imagine I make a Mickey Mouse cartoon, based on the original Steamboat Willie character, which is in the public domain. Disney will sue me and claim it is actually based on the modern character. And now it’s up to me to prove in court that it is not infringing on their modern character. And that becomes difficult when the line between the old character and the modern one is so blurred.

Mozilla could remain funded if they stopped doing things like paying the CEO seven million dollars per year while laying off employees. If Mozilla dies, it will 100% be because of corporate greed.

Yeah, downvotes 100% aren’t private on Lemmy, because federation requires the ability to track votes in order to prevent a user from voting multiple times. There are even some mobile apps that allow you to view who has up/downvoted something. Off the top of my head, I think Sync For Lemmy and Friendica both allow you to inspect votes.

They’d just wait for you to inevitably come back to the states to visit; Regardless of your personal feelings on nationality, everyone has parents who will get old and sick eventually, and chances are very good that you’ll come back to visit them or to settle their estate afterwards.

Oracle bought (and quickly killed) it. It’s not under active development, and anything that claims otherwise is likely malicious. LibreOffice is a lot of the original OpenOffice devs who got fed up with the way things were going, and jumped ship.

Welcome to the biggest rabbit hole of your life. Syncthing itself isn’t huge, but the capacity to divest from the big cloud providers is. I say it’s a rabbit hole because you’ll quickly be finding new ways to use it.

It’s way worse than that; You have to pay income tax on your entire net worth when you renounce your citizenship. Basically, they say that when you renounce your citizenship, all of your assets are considered “sold” so you need to pay tax on it. The US also requires you to keep paying income taxes for a decade after you have renounced your citizenship. There was a big push around the 2008 crash, where congress became concerned that people would renounce their citizenship to dodge taxes. So they started making laws that required taxes to be paid even after expatriating.

Imagine moving to Germany and renouncing your citizenship, and you’re still paying income tax in America, for the income you made while in Germany.
