Yeah true. Can’t give you a list to pick from I guess haha, just annoying that I know the countries but sometimes can’t spell them!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any site that lists games that were never available as digital releases?
4·10 days agoYeah I guess they have limited resources, and their aim is to have the older games work on modern PCs. Not sure when you were doing this but I can absolutely understand that Windows 7 compatibility isn’t a focus for them in 2026 since MS support ended in 2023.

7·10 days agoA significant number of games released before 2005 had digital releases later. It’s basically GOGs whole thing.

Damn I didn’t realise it was timed. Trying to do all that typing on mobile was a bit slow, I only got to 80 before running out of time, and still hadn’t done Europe and only started on Africa.
A bit rough they make you spell them all!
I work with someone whose job involves writing design documents. They have Copilot write it and then send it out for other people to review, and you can tell they haven’t even read it themselves.
Then in meetings they talk with confidence about things, you think it doesn’t sound right and ask for a link to learn more, and they admit they just asked Copilot.
Like I am not sure what this person does themselves because they seem to be farming out the entire core part of their job.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something about you that surprises people when they first find out?
1·19 days agoYeah active. Sorry I wasn’t clear, it was obvious why the army guys could beat me, they odd thing was that I could beat most everyone else.

Technology@lemmy.world•CoMaps: The Offline App That Guided Rescuers Without a Signal in the Venezuela ResponseEnglish
33·21 days agoOh for sure, and Organic Maps was a fork too. Open Source is awesome 🙂.
I reckon whoever that team member was introducing them all to CoMaps is probably familiar with the Fediverse, and may even be watching us now 👀

53·21 days agoThis is really cool! Amazing for such a new project too. I love reading about all the work they are doing. Also scary that it takes 35 hours to run the map update 😆

Fediverse@lemmy.world•openmic.social — a new open-discourse instance that doesn't shadowbanEnglish
20·1 month agoYou might have been expecting the response you got here, or you might not have. I know I learnt more about nazi/hate speech dogwhistles in my first few weeks as a Lemmy admin than I had learnt in all my life up to that point 😅.
I also know in those early days there were people worried my instance was a “free speech” instance because I wanted open conversations instead of bans. Mostly I think I didn’t appreciate how big of a problem it was, and for sure I had people registered on my instance expecting it was a “free speech” instance. There are people out there looking for a place to spout their hate and many think Lemmy is the place for it because it’s advertised as censorship resistant.
Please know that there is a strong belief (among both nazis and anti-nazis) that indicating a place as being able to speak your mind is a dog whistle for allowing hate speech. Over time if you find you aren’t attracting the right kind of members, you may need to tweak your wording. But also please know that the idea of supporting people to be better community members instead of flat out banning people does work for many members, because many people just don’t realise that what they are saying is harmful. Some people will be operating in bad faith though, and it’s typically the same small number of people that keep getting banned. Because you have open registrations, these users are more likely to come to your instance.
It’s also important to understand that the Fediverse is full of users that have felt unsafe on mainstream social media. Your rules against hate speech need to be strictly enforced, of you’ll find yourself isolated in the Fediverse as no one will want to federate with you.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Where can I install games without steamEnglish
2·1 month agoYou’ll likely be able to find if on whatever store your distro comes with. There’s also the third party launcher Lutris but I have found Heroic to be great. If you’re playing games without a linux version, Heroic will help you install WINE versions as well, so you can play almost anything.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which fictional universe do you wish you lived in?
15·1 month agoHaha I was gonna reply with something similar. If you choose the Star Trek universe, then you’d better get awfully specific about when, where, and who you are.
It has been many, many years since I played it, but I seem to recall Max Payne 3 was fine but cutscene heavy. More of a movie than a game haha.
Steam say 85% positive reviews, and the negative ones are split 50/50 between saying too many cutscenes and saying fuck you Rockstar for your shitty unnecessary launcher.






Hell, what about 1 party consent where the person doesn’t know their watch is recording?
