I think this is emblematic of the game development atmosphere as a whole. The PS5 'must-plays' are mostly rereleases and multiplats.

I'm hoping Sony studios have a lot of good things cooking behind the scenes, they're just taking their time.

The Department of Homeland Security has sparked a Pokémon backlash after using the kids’ game to promote ICE deportation raids.

The DHS social media team posted a video to X on Monday of dramatic immigration raids—including one that was bungled yet still posted online by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—spliced with animé imagery from the popular Japanese cartoon and collectibles game, which is part owned by Nintendo.

Pope Leo XIV has rejected the idea of an AI Pope, saying in an interview with biographer Eloise Allen that "if there's anybody who should not be represented by an avatar, I would say the Pope is high on the list" (first spotted by The Register). Pope Leo, who is forthright about his views on the new technology, also said that he had been asked for his authorisation to create an AI Pope

"Someone recently asked authorization to create an artificial me so that anybody could sign onto this website and have a personal audience with 'the Pope'," said the pontiff. "This artificial intelligence Pope would give them answers to their questions, and I said, 'I'm not going to authorize that'."

I found this list recently and found it very helpful figuring out what the differences between all the Lenovo tiny PCs is.

Especially the section about available riser cards for these little guys is very interesting. Building a M920x with 4 NVMe and 10gig Ethernet is very tempting.

The Tenfingers community is moving away from the flaky home server lemmy.mindoki. It went down in flames after the last update 🥲.

So it's a fresh start here, welcome everyone!

This getting announced a week after Pokemon announces their farming game is hilarious to me. Nintendo wont like that.

Après avoir emprunté le véhicule lundi 22 septembre, l'homme sans abri «conduisait tranquillement en respectant le code de la route», selon «le Parisien». Une enquête a été confiée à la Brigade des réseaux franciliens, indique le parquet.

So excited for this. Welcome back, PT

Well that was unexpected

Hi, as you can from see from my previous posts I installed Linux in all my machines. Now I have a PC with an I5 6500 (with Mint on it) and I'm upgrading the GPU. So, do I just open it put the new one and connect the cables? Or do I have to do some thing first? Thank you for all your help.

Today's game is some Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition. I haven't been in my world for a while so i decided to hop in and relax. I've noticed i don't really have a drive to beat the Ender Dragon, so i think that's really dampened a bit of my attention too it. I still enjoy sinking some time into it though.

I stopped to get some fish to tame the cat above, and while i was doing so it started to set and the game's soothing soundtrack started playing. I ended up putting the rod away and just watching. Maybe it's just nostalgia but watching that sent shivers down my spine, in like a good way. I felt all the stress of the day just kind of leave my body and i felt a lot lighter.

It brought back vivid memories of my childhood, sat around the Entertainment Center with my sister. We'd spend hours in Minecraft (creative mode specifically because we were afraid of survival) and just build the most mundane things with our creativity. It always felt so amazing even when the builds were so poor in quality.

I remember the very first world i built, i built this giant wooden house in a dessert, then built a cafeteria on top of it out of iron blocks. and finally on top of that I built a Travel Agency that specialized in trips to the nether (complete with a nether rail and everything). I decided i wanted a moat so i used TNT. Then i built a bridge out of emerald blocks. Finally i had a farm i put in the basement along with a room for my cats. I wanted to be able to see them so i put a glass sun roof in the floor of my bedroom.

Another memory I remember was when i couldn't figure out how to make a furnace (because of how the Console Edition's UI was). I tried everything, and my last ditch effort was too build a cobblestone U shape with a Dandelion in the center (for fire). Looking back I'm not sure why i thought that would work. But it's still a really fond memory. I'm starting to ramble a bit here about my childhood, but basically, watching this was nostalgic.

I went to check in on the village and i think their population went down, I'm not sure though. I'm thinking of building some sort of defensive barrier around the village to help keep them safe. I don't really do villager trading, but also I'd feel bad not trying to help out, so it's something on my list someday.

My final act for today was to check on Matheson (who is a black sheep i named after Richard Matheson, author of I Am Legend, one of my favorite books growing up and what i just so happened to have on my shelf when i looked at it for a name). I fed him some wheat before shutting it off. I figured i should feed the guy.

I spent much of today trying to get WinApps running on NixOS. The VM performance is meh after following all the setup steps in the documentation, and I can't get the RDP part working. I'm not asking for help, which would probably take lots of back and forth commenting. but if I should even try to continue. The steps don't even mention Nix, only how to install dependencies via package managers.

I tried finding videos of Photoshop in WinApps but didn't find any, to see what performance actually looks like. Would it even be decent, or should I just suck it up and do GPU passthrough? Ideally I'd like Photoshop a window part of my linux desktop instead of switching back and forth between OSes. Making something work has been a PITA so far.

I'm using Interstellar with a PieFed account, and I've found communities quickly and easily (including many on this instance) as soon as I start typing partial words. But I just discovered that skateboarding@lemmy.world and rollerskating@lemmy.world aren't returned in searches unless I type out "!skateboarding@lemmy.world" in full. I only discovered these communities exist when I switched to Jerboa and my Lemmy account. Is this a quirk of federation, a mod setting, or something else?

I'm new to the Fediverse so please be gentle. 😂

Hi guys, I am thinking of selling my old server which until now I have been using as a mini home lab. But now that I have a dedi on hetzner, I don't really see the point of keeping it around. What do you guys use your home lab for and why do you prefer it over cloud hosting?
