Nintendo@lemmy.world•Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are coming to Nintendo SwitchEnglish
5·5 months agoThey’re intentionally pricing this at $20 to convince people that the subscription model is a better deal. GBA games on the Wii U were priced at $8, a much more reasonable price point.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are coming to Nintendo SwitchEnglish
6·5 months agoFireRed is not worth $20, especially without rom hack support or optional filters.
Edit: It’s a ROM being emulated; no substantial effort beyond the initial development of the emulator itself went into this release. Don’t support Nintendo’s price inflation practices by raising the baseline of what emulated games should cost. GBA games on the Wii U were $8, a far more reasonable price point.

Technology@lemmy.world•I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutesEnglish
8·5 months agoClickbaity headline, but good article.
An ActivityPub server-as-community has sanctions but lacks the prior steps: rules aren’t visible to outsiders and monitoring is purely reactive,
Compare this to Reddit, where arriving at a subreddit immediately presents the community’s identity as a first-class interface element: its name, description, rules, moderators, visual identity. The community is a navigable object that you can encounter, evaluate, and choose to join.
Lemmy communities are no different from subreddits in having a sidebar with rules and moderator lists; they even go a step further in making modlogs public. The way the article is written makes it seem like the author didn’t actually test the software they wrote about.

Europe@feddit.org•The U.S. ready to make up, Europe ready to break up in MunichEnglish
29·5 months agoThe U.S. isn’t ready to make up, that’s the problem. Making up would be negotiating with European allies as equals, not undermining their foreign policy objectives in Ukraine or destabilizing the continent by pushing fascist propaganda.
By block I meant defederate, as described in my post, rather than a user-level block. Just clarified the title; apologies for the confusion.
Defederation ensures that content isn’t received from or transferred to Threads.

Europe@feddit.org•Italy to join Board of Peace as observer country, Meloni saysEnglish
8·6 months agoThe more countries that join it, the more international law breaks down by diverting resources from the UN.
Stremio might work better if usability on a smart TV is a factor. Otherwise, sites like P-Stream (Movie-Web successor) switch between a free array of online streaming servers, or one could obtain the releases individually via torrents, usenet, or sometimes archive.org.
Here WeGo is proprietary and not based on OpenStreetMap, but given that it’s the only option in the U.S. with live traffic data that didn’t stoop to renaming the Gulf of Mexico with fascist propaganda, it’s the one I’ve been using.
