It's facebook, that's entirely possible.

Quick, let's sue the NBA for causing child violence!

Use i2p on Android with Mull/Firefox in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Dumb question: can anyone host a i2p site on a personal device? For instance, if I leave a PC or old phone connected to the network, how easy/hard is it to configure so I have a working site accessible to everyone on the network?

What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 40 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Game Boys are usually regarded as durable as hell. There's even one that withstood bombing during the Gulf War (1991)

Larian revealed that Baldur's Gate 3 has sold 2 copies in the Vatican in c/games@lemmy.world

Pirated ones, probably, though I doubt anyone other than the dear leader is allowed to play, because "western propaganda". Not like you'd have many people in there with a good PC anyway. Or even electricity.

Speaking of satanic panic, the biggest irony are those that denounce stuff like the Diablo or Doom series. You know, games were the player's job is to literally destroy the forces of actual hell. Maybe killing demons with swords and shotguns is sinful?

Wait... What? Folks In Red States Google Searched 'How To Change My Vote' In Droves After Trump's Victory in c/politics@lemmy.world

Some 'murican cities are unironically trying to get rid of fluoride from water. You know, the thing that also goes in toothpaste and is overall good for keeping teeth healthy

Hyundai Is Bringing Back Buttons Because Touchscreens Are ‘Annoying’ in c/technology@lemmy.world

Congratulations on taking a fucking DECADE to realize what should've been FUCKING OBVIOUS from the start.

I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

Agree on KoA. Playing a mage is super flashy with plenty of cool looking spells that make you feel like a badass wizard. The chakrams (one of the main wizard weapons) flying around look awesome, too.

Sony is trying to patent a 'universal' rewind button that could fix your worst gaming catastrophes in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

People have been save scumming games for as long as saving has been available. A number of PC games have had instant save/load at any point for decades. This wouldn't be much different

To Celebrate 30 Years Of Saturn, A New Version Of Yaba Sanshiro Is Coming To Windows PCs | Time Extension in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

Does the emulator have an easter-egg where a judoka starts beating me up for not having a Sega Saturn?

One of the saddest yaaaay as well.

Android owners - Get TrackerControl (f-droid.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/462543

Title.

There's also a version on the Play Store, but you should definitely get the F-Droid version. It's the one with the full features enabled.

It lets you fully block some apps' access to the internet, including system apps. Depending on your phone manufacturer, like Xiaomi and Samsung, they can be extremely invasive and show ads on your stock apps.

To the surprise of no one, Google is being accused of abusing its power with ads (www.theregister.com)
 

TLDR of the article:

Google is showing ads outside of YT, in those side players that everyone hates while they just want to read articles, but counting them as normal views.

The Trove - You can still access it via Archive.org (web.archive.org)

Title. Have fun and patience, because downloads off archive are very slow.

Also, if y'all know a decent place to share some of that stuff again, comment so me and others can grab it off the archive and reup it elsewhere for easy access

EDIT: Not everything is still archived. Just tried to peruse Starfinder folder, and it has been deleted from Archive. Some other folders and files are still working

Is Soulseek safe? (programming.dev)
 

I saw another post asking how to set up Soulseek and, at first glance, it looks like those old P2P file sharing platforms, like eMule, Kazaa or Limewire.

As someone who used those during their peak, I'm well aware of the risks of getting unwanted stuff, not to mention that you're fully exposed within the network.

Does Soulseek deal with those issues, or are users exposed to those risks as well?

Is there a SD or microSD card reader hub product? (programming.dev)
 

I know there are several USB hub dongles that could be used in a similar manner, but what I'm looking for is something that occupies a single USB port and offers 3+ slots for SD and/or microSD cards, letting me browse them all from my computer. Are there any such products? I'm ok with buying off Aliexpress
