Was man nicht alles tut, um sich von der aktuellen Realität abzulenken 🫣

Zumindest so lange bis man dann die Temperaturen sieht die es aktuell anzeigt

Quite a lot of perfectly harmless snakes around, including most pet snakes, and even the non-harmless ones usually won't try to actively kill humans.

I've never had a snake, but I've had pet insects before, who I'm pretty sure didn't have the mental capacity to like me or even realize that I'm caring for them. With those kind of pets, it's not about having a companion or building an emotional bond them, they're just interesting animals to observe. It's a different kind of pet.

Truly horrifying to read about the kind of deviant behaviours some people on Lemmy are into... 🤢 What's next, holding hands?!

To be more clear, PirateSoftware thinks the status quo of only owning a license for a game, which can be revoked at any time, is a good thing that should be kept.

Stop Killing Games would give consumers more rights, which would bring the purchase of a digital game license closer to actual ownership.

The latest pile-on against him is due to him having some reservations about the wording and intent of the petition/movement and, because we’re currently in a era where False Dichotomy is king: anything other than 100% unquestioning support is treated as 100% unequivocal opposition, and vice versa. 😒

His video's thumbnail is literally him throwing the petition into a dumpster. If we were not meant to see him as 100% in opposition, that's kind of on him TBH. He certainly communicates that way.

Of you’re going to legislate immortality on games, then you’re going to need to make your argument for it clear and robust, who has responsibility for what, how deprecating technology is handled, and so on.

Missing the point, as it's not a piece of legislation, it's a petition. Nobody expects it to be turned directly into law, but for the successful petition to start a process between various interest groups ultimately resulting in a law that's a compromise. Of course, if you tell people not to sign the petition, that process will never start in the first place.

Especially if you live in Malta or Cyprus.

That doesn't matter at this point. The country threshold has been reached. Now it "only" needs to reach 1 million total signatures before the end of july, currently sitting at around 600k.

The Stop Killing games campaign is an EU petition to prevent game developers from making games that people bought unplayable, for example by turning off the servers of always-online games.

Pirate Software is a youtuber and game developer who made several videos criticizing the campaign. He thinks it's unreasonable to expect game developers to do this and also asserts that people who purchase games don't own them. His videos supposedly had a measurable negative impact on the petition, which at this point looks like it might fail. Combined with the fact that he often acted quite rude and arrogant towards supporters of the campaign, he is now quite unpopular among them.

Game developer. Quickly realized the working conditions in the industry were not for me. Maybe one day I'll go indie and try to release my own game.

And for today's "not the Onion" headline...

In all seriousness though, I'm having trouble deciding whether Rutte's behaviour towards Trump is a smart way to keep him under control or just plain pathetic. Maybe it's both.

And for whoever they crash into as well... While I do think power limits for eBikes are a bit too low here in Europe, I gotta say I'm glad we don't have death machines like that thing rolling around on our trails.

Yeah, could be that or the testing methods of either site might have been flawed. In any case the difference shouldn't just be brushed aside like it was in the article.

Japan's Chimolog is our second source. Its tests showed the Switch 2's display to be slightly quicker, averaging 17 ms at 60 Hz.

That's quite a huge difference though, about half that of Monitors Unboxed. Would definitely be worth finding out why the results are so different.

Die Noch-Linkenpolitikerin Sahra Wagenknecht hat sich entschieden, eine eigene Partei zu gründen. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen will sie am Montag damit an die Öffentlichkeit gehen.

 

Hi everyone! I've noticed for a while now that I can't reply to comments made by kbin accounts using my account here. Not even talking about kbin threads, but for example if I reply to any kbin-made comment over on feddit.de, once I click submit it just keeps spinning without ever posting the reply. I often see users from other lemmy instances replying to them though, so it doesn't seem like a general lemmy problem. Does everyone else here have this problem as well?
