Then downvote and move on. No need to make people that actually post content feel unwelcome and unappreciated. That just leads to no content and thus no reason to even use Lemmy / the Fediverse.

Yeah, I know, which is why I fully understand chosing this guy over literally their prior finance minister. It's pretty much "change nothing and hope it improves" vs "blow it all up and hope his ideas work half as well as he thinks they will".

Link in post is broken, above works.

Results that 'good' just can't be planned, and if he tried to remake them with the intent of looking like poop he couldn't ever get them this 'good' again. Legendary stuff. Should take them to some kids and blow their minds.

This feels like it's going to end up as Anarcho-Capitalisms Cuba. Touted as proof that it works by supporters and as proof it doesn't work by detractors. I hope the Argentinian people come out of this ahead, or at the very least not even worse off.

Gears of War comes to mind, not much physics but a lot of emphasis on movement but in a different way from Halo, still stupid fun to play the campaign Co-op!

Key difference: The Nazis were on the offensive.

The only risk of "losing" I foresee for Ukraine is not being able to reclaim all territory lost without sustaining losses they aren't willing to. There is in my view zero chance Russia takes Kyiv, well without nukes or chemical warfare etc but I doubt they'd go that far. As it is right now it's looking like this could be a long war, 10+ years of very little movement of the frontlines.

You got me covered at least!

Love it!

Excellent stuff! Been looking for something like this and while I love greasemonkey it's a bit fiddly on Android so this is a great, much simpler, alternative!

I haven't looked at an image but it's not Donald Trump in a wig is it? Crazy coincidence on having so similar names.

Well not if you can dig up and get running the computer you bought the games for, or one say 5-10 years younger. Windows XP will do for anything on a CD, Windows 95 for anything on a 3.5 floppy. 5.25 floppy then most will run on 3.1.

It's just that it's a lot of work ensuring backwards compatibility and it's not always a good idea, I'd argue the software world, in general, strive to much for backwards compatibility but that's another discussion.

That work needs funding so it's either pay GOG for the work that has been done remaking parts or repacking to make it run on modern computers. Or look to the hobbyist side of things but since they aren't paid, they of course seldom package what they do in an easy to consume format leading to enormous guides with 20 steps that maybe works, but probably not if you don't have an exact setup like the guy who wrote its.

This varies between "functionally impossible" to "tricky but doable" depending on the game. Generally speaking getting old games to run via using the original media is very hard. The easiest way is to buy them again on GOG.com. Second easiest is to quasi-legaly (legal in my country, illegal in others) download a pirated copy of the GOG version. The other options I'd need to know which game before I promise anything.

I'll assume you mean well but that you're just not super well versed in communicating over text.

You're coming across as snarky and condecending. The easiest example to help pinpoint a clear example is when you asked if the person you responded to spoke English as their primary language. From a very charitable perspective it could be construed as a benign question, aimed at helping you understand why you didn't understand each other (since you had differing opinions).

But given the context of an argument, an argument on the Internet at that, the first instinct for pretty much everyone is to assume it's meant as an ad hominem, an attempt at discrediting the person criticizing you by belittling them for their spelling and/or grammar mistakes.

It's also important to know that when you're replying many times in a thread people will likely read more than one of your comments so it's enough for one of them to come of snarky/condescending/elitist etc for that to the color the reading of all your other comments. This is exactly how we handle verbal communication as well as humans, it only takes one shitty joke, instance of poor attitude or a rude comment for everyone in earshot to form an opinion about what kind of person they deem you likely to be. People with a larger sample size of your behaviour might chalk it up to a bad day or a reaction to something someone else did earlier.

Yeah I'm not really so sure running Real-Debrid without a VPN is much of a genius move:

"Files links that Users download are stored in a database for legal concerns and our internal use. All saved links are erased within 1 month for security reasons and service needs. However all requests made on our site are stored for 1 year, the legal retention period."

"We may be required to disclose Users personal data in order to protect our legal rights or where disclosure of Users personal data's are required of us by the judicial authorities only when legal procedures are followed."

"Our servers can detect the IP Address of Users connection through the Internet. These IP addresses (public) and their approximative geolocations are recorded by our servers for internal use only (registration on the site, optimal use of downloads, protection against thieves, etc.)."

All from Real-Debrid Privacy information

You beat me to it... Talk about tone deaf

Much better if they're simply given away as charity as the end stop instead of literally sent into the incinerator to try and extract a fraction of the energy that went into making it. At least that way people who literally can't afford clothes get to wear something new, clean and whole.

And yet as meaningful as life itself if compared to your comment here.

All form of storage rot, just at varying rates and likelihood of failure after X years. Keeping the data active and checked is the only way to guarantee it will survive over time. But multiple copies across formats will probably be good enough for 99% of cases.

We're not talking small organizations here, nor small projects. In those cases it's true that you can't "only" do prompt engineering but where I see it is in larger orgs where you bring into the team the know how about how to prompt efficiently, how to do refinement, where to do variable substitution and how, etc etc. The closest analogy is specific tech skills, like say DBs, for a small firm its just something one backend dude knows decently, at a large firm there are several DBAs and they help teams tackle complex DB questions. Same with say Search, first Solr and nowadays Elastic. Or for that matter Networks, in many cases there might be absolutely no one at the whole firm that knows anything more than the basics because you have another company doing it for you.
