I'm so sorry. I promise my laughter is not at you.

also any inputs are probably scraped

Let's hope it's the bad outputs that are scrapped. <3

Games requiring kernel-level anti-cheat are such a small minority of games that I struggle to think how this could mean big anything (good or bad) to Linux gaming in general.

It's funny how different scenes stand out to different people. If someone had asked me to list the most memorable bits of The Lighthouse, the scenes you mentioned wouldn't have entered my mind. Dafoe's monologue, on the other hand, will stick with me for a long time to come.

We could quibble about the details, but all of them are fundamentally last-man-standing competitions.

The Hunger Games was indeed one of them. I didn't mention it because it's the most obvious one in current cultural memory (no need for me to point it out) and because Battle Royale came a decade earlier, and Battle Royal half a century before that. The characters' situation is probably older than printed words.

Even if a competitive game format was unique to the Hindi film, it would be tough to argue that nobody else could have thought of that detail when making their own variation of the same theme. Calling it a "blatant rip-off" of Luck (2009) is quite a stretch.

(Incidentally, the Luck synopsis that I read says it focuses on gambling, not competitive trials or children's games. A quick look at the video confirms it.)

They haven't even had the account for an hour and they've already violated lemmy.world ToS (calls for violence) in another thread. May the ban hammer strike swiftly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the theme also showed up in books that predate all of these films.

There are a couple of emulation communities outside of Beehaw:

many results say to install custom ROMs which I can’t since its a US model and the bootloader is locked.

Are you sure it can't be unlocked?

Many phones that don't officially support unlocking can be exploited to do so anyway. Some will lose relatively minor functionality in the process (camera enhancements were lost on mine, but the camera still works fine) but the tradeoff is often worth it.

And it was composed by Quincy Jones, who has earned a small mountain of awards for his music over the years. Not many TV shows get a theme as good as that one.

Here's the studio version:

I think it's pretty clear that IETF drafts are not what author meant when he wrote draft, and I'm pretty sure the IETF doesn't have much to do with C++ standards.

Are you under the impression that there is no other sense of the word?

It might help you in the future when you are discussing things like drafts, specifications, and proposals.

As it turns out, I have done more than a little of that. Thankfully, I don't usually see such condescending remarks in the process, nor such insistence on misunderstanding. Good luck to you, too.

A giant unregulated currency is undermining America’s fight against arms dealers, sanctions busters and scammers. Almost as much money flowed through its network last year as through Visa cards. And it has recently minted more profit than BlackRock, with a tiny fraction of the workforce.

Its name: Tether. The cryptocurrency has grown into an important cog in the global financial system, with as much as $190 billion changing hands daily.

It's nice to see they have transcripts, too.

Neither of my posts from yesterday and today have made it out to their communities' home instance (lemmy.world), and neither has received any comments or votes. It seems like something to do with outgoing federation is stuck.

Edit to clarify:

The problem I'm seeing affects posts. I don't know if it affects comments.

It's possible that it only affects lemmy.world communities, but it definitely affects them even on other instances. Neither of these posts are showing up on any remote instance that I've seen:

Why you should know:

Arsenic is a carcinogen and has various other negative health effects; enough to warrant exposure limits in various jurisdictions. A five minute boil-and-discard step before cooking is a simple way to reduce your exposure, especially if you eat a lot of rice.

Details are in the study, linked in the title of this post. Here's a diagram from the abstract:

I'm not sure the Wii U is widely considered retro yet, but it has been discontinued for 7+ years, so I'm taking a chance that some folks here might care about the emulator.
