xuvto Gaming@lemmy.zip•Some guy complained this fishing game only caters to queer players, so the dev added a "straight" title - it costs $9999English9·7 months agoThe game is Webfishing. https://webfishing.net/
That’s just how the font is (it’s called Overseer) but that would be a neat change to make, and pretty simple.
xuvto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has there been a depiction of fast food on a space station?1·10 months agoStar Trek still has traditionalists and hobbyists that prepare food without replicators. Sisko’s father famously ran a Cajun restaurant in New Orleans. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone ran a fast food burger shop because “the fries just don’t crunch the same from a replicator” or something.
It also would be possible to have something like a replicator kiosk shop, which would be like fast food.
There are a few restaurants mentioned on the wiki, but they don’t distinguish between traditional preparation and replicator food (it includes Quark’s on the list). None of the space ones look like fast food though. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Restaurant
xuvto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•What is the political status of Hysperia?English12·10 months agoMy interpretation was not that they can force Billups to return to the planet and perform as king, but that their laws would name him as their king and he is not willing to be negligent in his duties if he is named king because of his personal character.
In the long term, this may mean eventually he will return and become king when it is required of him, but he was trying to delay that and follow his own interests for as long as possible, since the planet currently has a functional and effective ruler: his mother.
This is why he agreed to go through the process of becoming king when he believed his mother had died, again reluctantly, but still choosing to fulfill his duties to respect his family and the needs of the people he would be ruling over, as there is no exploration of alternative heirs or loopholes or workarounds in their legal system.
xuvto Disability and Accessibility@beehaw.org•Playing videogames without arms or hands?1·10 months agoVoiceAttack can be used to freely create arbitrary voice commands with pretty good recognition accuracy. It can send KB&M or gamepad inputs and run scripts and various other features. I used to use it to supplement controls for Elite: Dangerous and it worked pretty well. I imagine it’d get tiresome for complex games but could be good for simpler games, and for other computer tasks. https://voiceattack.com/Default.aspx
There are tons of potential accessibility devices like specialized buttons and breath control etc, but they’re usually expensive medical devices or custom builds. The other commenters have already mentioned the consumer products I’m aware of.
xuvto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Newegg launches CPU trade-in program with low payouts — $300 for a Core i9-14900K or $220 for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D9·11 months agoSo that’s what happened.
The last time I bought from them (a few years ago now), I chose to buy an item from them instead of Amazon, to support less monolithic companies and because they used to have good reputation. I did this even though it was a few dollars more for the same item (like $23 vs $20, I think it was a dvd drive). It turns out they were just buying the Amazon item and reselling it at the higher price, it arrived in the original Amazon box with a new shipping label slapped on top.
xuvto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What do ya'll think of camming (filming newly released films)?English8·11 months agoTS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I’ve seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cam with subtitles available.
I expect they mean the site google.com, because that’s been my experience. Whenever I get captcha’d there for using a VPN (which is getting more and more common), I always see the Maps image style captcha. Like 60% of the time it tells me I’m wrong anyway and I just give up.
With opnwrt you can do DNS hijacking, where you force redirect DNS requests for other servers to your own DNS server. This works as long as they aren’t encrypted (DNS over HTTPS or TLS), which most devices don’t use.
xuvto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Yesterday in Kroger (a supermarket for you non-Americans) I saw a bunch of cans of potato salad. Why would someone buy canned potato salad?2·11 months agoSometimes you’re just not very hungry.
xuvto Programming@programming.dev•What's the dumbest reason you've learned a programming language?11·11 months agoI almost did this for a different reason, people choose python because it has some pretty good web automation/scraping libraries to work with.
Yes, ProtonVPN still provides port forwarding. They randomly assign you a single port every time you connect, so you’ll have to update the settings in qB occasionally, but it’s manageable.

xuvto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer filesEnglish5·2 years agoCorrect, Backblaze is their own host and post on their blog often about their tech and processes. They’ve got a lot of good info on how they designed their server storage racks and stats on drive failures by brand etc
Auto injected context-aware ads are becoming increasingly common these days. Lots of podcast providers will use your IP or user information (if available) to select ads for your area or personal data and and they’ll splice it into your download. It almost always interrupts the flow of discussions but the ones I’ve heard are at least usually good enough to happen at the end of sentences and not mid sentence or mid word.
Yes, you can reset to email in case you break your phone or something. It’s one of the account recovery options.
Some logins now require an interactive prompt in the app instead of a TOTP code though. I see them when my IP address changes due to VPN endpoints lately.
