??? are you just resorting to bringing up completely unrelated shit to escape embarrassment? I imagined context could make it clear but mentioning “former communist countries” I was speaking of communist countries in history which formerly existed, but now no longer exist. If I meant countries which were communist but now aren’t, I would have specified “formerly communist countries”. Why would you even think it was implying that a country being communist in the past means it’s leftist in the present? How do you reason that?

Edit: lol apparently @[email protected] or an admin is removing the replies because they speak of Lenin’s Gulags, dekulakization, and Mao’s Laogai. Funny what kind of comments get removed by .ml mods; apparently not comments trying to suddenly bring antisemitism into the conversation, and not comments pretending that saying sometimes in history leftist governments have interned kids means I must both be anti-leftist and making excuses for the US’ treatment of immigrants.

How do you, with a straight face, say “criticizing a communist leader/government means you hate jews”? You are simply resorting to making up “you’re an antisemite” out of thin air to invalidate others. I have literally not once mentioned judaism. I don’t even know if I’ve mentioned jews in my entire comment history before you randomly started blaming jews for alleged “anticommunism”.

You are using discrimination against jews as a tool to attempt silencing others. You accusing everyone else of being an “antisemite” is your way of avoiding your own responsibility and putting others in a box. Let me guess, you support the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and use “antisemite” to defend it too?

I don’t remember a time where kidnapping people and putting them into concentration camps away from their families made something not left, actually it seems pretty common in former and current communist countries lol…

but actually i meant “slightly more left” in the sense of economic-social matters, not… killing or kidnapping people matters. he has done quite a lot to improve social services and lessen the financial fuckedness of many government programs, for example.

Godspeed

The only things that the Biden administration has done that’s bad is genocide obviously, but a little genocide never hurt anybody… I guess you could try blaming him for inflation or gas prices, or the fallout of COVID-19, but that would be kind of dumb

You can, of course, say he hasn’t done enough, which wouldn’t be wrong, but the things he’s done have had a pretty positive effect on the country and have brought us at least a little closer to the left – even with an opposing congress. I can’t say I like how he treats, say, nationalism and the Middle East, but he’s at least somewhat redeemed himself from just being a “moderate Republican” I would say. At least his administration has brought in officials who are tougher on corporations, even if he’s still a corporate Democrat.

yea but unless you think you can convince half the population to chop every billionaire’s head off we’ll just have to deal with it until we die of climate change

Elaborate. You’re saying my comment has a bad generalization? Do you think that Lemmy’s demographic appeal wasn’t primarily towards males with niche usually tech-related interests? Or are you surprised that large parts of said nerdy male demographic (e.g. gamers, techbros, cryptobros, webdevs/software devs) often have sexist/misogynistic views and objectify/sexualize/"other"ify women significantly more than your average leftist, even if they don’t think they do?

If it’s the latter, do you really think that the claim large communities of mostly male gamers, techbros, and the like are often known for harboring much misogynist thinking, so it makes sense for that to carry over to a site which those groups primarily compose is baseless?

Or was your issue something else completely unrelated to the site’s former demographics and the general tendencies of technology-related communities?

Was it me saying that sexist attitudes are extremely common on the site? Because I did base that on numerous observations of users treating women like a different species and casually using very degrading sexist language when speaking about women. And people taking generalizations of women to the extreme, which seeing as you apparently hate generalizations you’d probably love to argue with them for. And people constantly complaining about women’s “privilege” and seemingly blaming them for men’s societal issues. What made me realize that I’m not just getting a bad sample is when I went to look on communities on Lemmy for women & non-binary folks and the literal first threads I saw were saying how they experienced the same things, like these, although they’re tamer than much of the stuff I sometimes see:

Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4

Pointing out casual misogyny/sexism, it’s extremely common on Lemmy (not surprising when the platform mostly only appealed to nerdy young dudes up until recently)

god i even get the popup on mobile

Watt-hours

how hard is it to just use joules 😭 the consequences of non-metric time are grave

i’m just kidding btw, i know why watt-hours are used

I can +1 this, a looong time ago I tried uninstalling Microsoft Edge and it made the system go ballistic. Every time I clicked a link, instead of going to my default browser (Chrome then) it would just open a completely broken Edge window with no functionality. Any time I tried to change settings, it’d do the same thing. Anything to do with touching the internet got fucked. I spent hours trying to reinstall Edge, contacting a Microsoft support person who was useless, before I realized that the official site only provides the Windows download for Edge if you set your user agent with… any system other than Windows. Huh.

these are definitely not the words of a cybersecurity prodigy, i can tell that

I’m pretty sure the only difference would be that people with a jailbroken switch can extract prod.keys from it. But afaik most of the tools people made to assist with that got obliterated so I don’t think it’s worth doing for most people.

depending on the implementation this may be optional or not allowed though

download Ryujinx, get keys by downloading them from a site (like from prodkeys.net) and you should get files “prod.keys” and “title.keys”, place them in “./Ryujinx/system/”. then you can go on a site like www.nxbrew.com, download nsp or xci files of the game (and a potential updates and whatever dlc), and throw them in folders of your choice (i personally have a “roms” folder with all my game files for different consoles, including a “switch” folder, with folders called “games” and subfolders “updates”, “dlc”, “mods”, “cheats”).

then, get on ryujinx, select the folder with your games as your game directory, and your games should be visible. you can right click on the game on the list and add updates or dlc, you can go to the mod directory ryujinx made for the game and add a bunch of folders with the mod data inside of it (for example, for ACNH i might have a folder called “360_camera” and inside of it will be a folder called “romfs”/“romFs” which will have a bunch of files/folders for the mod in it) and then select the mods to enable. for cheats you just need a folder named “cheats” in the mod directory and then you can put cheats for the game in plain text in the folder.

you can also mess with the graphics settings, use an input device (probably an xbox/playstation/switch controller), change datetime (although i find it doesn’t allow you to make the date out of sync with your device’s date, so you may want to go to your computer settings and manually change it if you want to do that), etc.

redditors even on piracy subs treat actually pirating things like it’s voldemort, so when i wanted to emulate switch games it was a pain in the ass for me to find out what i needed to do, i hope this helps you not run into those issues lol.

It genuinely surprises me the amount of diehard nintendo fans who will defend the corporation’s heinous acts tooth and nail that there are. They make good games, and they were my childhood, therefore their wrongs are excusable (or not wrongs at all)!

i’d play totk on grapefruit, or kiyomi, or tangor, or even rangpur. perhaps kampei, or jabara, or iyokan. maybe lumia or pompia, or daidai, or chinotto, or calamansi. koji and reikou work too. suenkat/sunki, sudachi, kabosu, oroblanco, dangyuja, amanatsu… the possibilities are endless!

but maybe citri are too obvious, maybe we should think out of the box… like melons! honeydew sounds like a good emulator name (maybe a bit overused though), and so does argos, gaya or hami too! kajari, mirza, and dosakai as well…

i mean you’re expected to know the basic functioning of the compiler when you use it
