Blizzard games are coming to Steam

Not gonna play them if they include their launcher after game is started from Steam lol.

EDIT: I am very happy to hear that everyone hates them. EA as well as Rockstar has shown that their launchers are shit. On Steam Deck EA games often fail to start at all due to EA launcher updates, and Rockstar launcher takes around 3-5 minutes to start a fucking game (which should start instantly).

Removal of piracy communities

What part is illegal? Are they sharing files on that instance and your instance re-hosts it?

From my understanding, discussions are legal, guides are legal, tips are legal, but actual files (aka "copyrighted content") is illegal. There are no files shared there, links at maximum, but institutions should be after those content-sharing websites, not forums.

I am against this decision and I am happy that I am not part of admins team.

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button

I really wish there could be tags and sub-tags.

Tag examples:

  • Politics
  • Sport
  • Anime
  • News
  • AI

Sub-tag examples:

  • US
  • Europe
  • Africa
  • Basketball
  • Volleyball
  • F1

Some sort of curated list by Lemmy developers that might change over time depending on user demand.

Then client apps can fetch such list from any server and allow you to apply such filter.

Imagine being able to block whole category of sports? Anime? News? Whatever people want/don't want.

Lemmy's total users surged from 156k to 240k in a single day today! What caused the jump?

Reddit is already turning into shit. Like literall shit, except it's digital shit, but still shit.

Feeling horny? Visit r/horny. Oh wait, that's christian minecraft discussions!

Wanna learn something new? Visit r/InterestingAsFuck. Oh wait, that's interesting porn positions!

Wanna see what is going in gaming community? Just visit r/steam! Oh wait, it's choo choo shitwreck powered by steam engines!

No wonder why people are looking for Reddit alternative, and Lemmy might be just the right option. :)

Home Server Security

IMO if you are asking such question - stick to Bitwarden cloud.

Passwords, at least to me, is something I don't want to lose. I don't trust myself I could provide a proper uptime & security, so I just use cloud version.

ScaleUp: Innovative Video Resolution Enhancement Software

Reply in thread

I just tried. It's basically https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN expect OP's program upscales video, frame by frame, and combines those frames into a new video.

Video looks like it's made by AI. Tried on old video - not sure if old or new video looking better. Contours in new video are difderent with each frame lol.

OP did a great job, but overall technology is not there yet. Videos aren't looking good tbh.

PLEAAASSEE PLEASE COME BACK TO THE OFFICE PLS

When I come to office (one day per week), I come to have a great time with colleagues. No one forces me, I can work fully remote, it's just nice to have colleagues around. We go for a vape, for a lunch, for a walk. Good times. Ohh, and also few meetings that day, since I live ~150km away from office lol.

I openly say in office that I can't work from office. Basically socializing and that's it. Productivity almost zero.

While on the other hand, working from home is where I shine. I can fully focus on my scripting/coding/automation stuff.

/r/interestingasfuck forced open, lowers its standard of what qualifies as "interesting", gets flooded with adult content [NSFW within two clicks]

Actually they do care. These 2 does not go together:

  • We have not seen any significant revenue impact so far and we will continue to monitor. and this one will pass as well.
  • Force-reopening subreddits, removing moderators.

(Un)fortunatelly they still can't get over their beliefs that Reddit is still good old Reddit and that they can proceed as public trading company. I am honestly interested what is the tipping point for them until they (attempt to) stop their bullshit.. 😂
