I Completed my First Final Fantasy game!
  • which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

    Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They're just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

    I'd recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

    FF3 is... okay. It introduces the character class system, which you'll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

    FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

  • Democrats aren’t the only ones voting for abortion rights, Ohio shows
  • Oh so some Republicans still quietly like freedom, got it.

  • Overwatch 2 is now the #1 of the worst Steam games
  • Yes, but also there are many adult children for whom the same applies.

  • It's like poetry; it rhymes
  • it's like pottery, it rims

  • Youtube-dl Site Goes Offline as Hosting Provider Enforces Court-Ordered Ban
  • "Good faith" = corporations screwing you

    "Bad faith" = you screwing corporations

    There, I've simplified it.

  • After 27,000+ Steam reviews, Overwatch 2 is graded as 'Overwhelmingly Negative'
  • As if there weren't enough money behind Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft is about to buy them. You might as well wish for the oceans to dry up.

  • Dedicated Lemmy Instance for movies and tv series
  • Apologies, didn't see the "Create Community" button up top like I'm used to on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, etc. And I'm browsing from old.lemmy.world most of the time anyway. :P

    OP, go be the change you want to see and create the communities for the movies & shows you want.

  • Dedicated Lemmy Instance for movies and tv series
  • I do understand what you're saying - specific communities for different movies & shows. What I didn't realize is that lemmy.film doesn't allow community creation. If they did, that would allow people to create communities just like you're saying.

    I don't know of any other film-centric instances, but try searching here I suppose: https://lemmyverse.net

  • Dedicated Lemmy Instance for movies and tv series
  • I am so confused... this is being posted to lemmy.film. That's like walking into a 7-Eleven and asking if there's some place where you can buy a flavored ice drink.

  • Kids' Cartoon From Conservative University Claims That Slavery Was 'No Big Deal'
  • I don't understand PragerU... they put out all of this fascist propaganda, but they still have this video up on their YouTube channel that spells out in no uncertain terms that the cause of the civil war was slavery and the south's want to defend a "morally repugnant institution":

    Is this just the one thing they keep out there to point at and say that they're "fair and balanced"?

  • What are the best zoom alternatives?
  • What announcement? Your Nitter link doesn't work

  • Won't you be my neighbor?
  • As someone currently watching Mister Roger's Neighborhood with my 2yo and having just completed TNG and started DS9 with my 9yo, this is fantastic.

  • The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free?
  • I'd say it's more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.

  • Is there a CC, Debit, or other card I can use that's a little nicer to small businesses?
  • Are you talking about accepting payment, or a card for use as a company spending account? I think most answers so far are assuming you're talking about accepting a card type as payment for your goods and/or services.

  • The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free?
  • Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to "set us free".

  • KENOBI - The Boonta Eve Redux
  • Aww damn, I literally just found out about then stood up a docker container with JDownloader-2 today. Great to know that it works for Mega, because I refuse to install that app.

  • Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition has released on Steam
  • I was just trying to play the original a few weeks ago and man it's rough. The controls are jank af. I don't know how I managed to play it back in the day even, but I remember it being fun. The guns are really something else.

    Good to see that they've upgraded it... to run on what looks like the gzDOOM engine. :P

  • Conservatives have already written a climate plan for Trump's second term
  • Is it "do nothing and continue to pretend everything's fine while taking huge amounts of money from the fossil fuel lobbyists"? Because I bet that's the plan.

  • Why do Americans answer the phone with "Gopher"?
  • Pretty sure it's an old businessman thing. "Go for (my name)!" in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

  • Patch Tuesday Megathread

    Hello c/sysadmin, and welcome to the Patch Megathread! I'm editing this post and leaving it up as a single catch-all sticky post for patch days for the time being, since we're not seeing enough activity to warrant new threads IMO. If someone wants to help moderate / curate content and actively create new patch day posts, please let me know and I'll add you to the mod team.

     

    This is the place to talk about the latest patches, updates, and releases. We put this thread into place to help gather all the information about this month's updates: What is fixed, what broke, what got released and should have been caught in QA, etc. We do this both to keep clutter out of the community, and provide a singular resource to read.

     

    While this thread is timed to coincide with Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, feel free to discuss any patches, updates, and releases, regardless of the company or product.

     

    Remember the rules of safe patching:

    • Deploy to a test/dev environment before prod.
    • Deploy to a pilot/test group before the whole org.
    • Have a plan to roll back if something doesn't work.
    • Test, test, and test!

    Missouri Republicans aren’t giving up on making state constitution harder to amend
    news.stlpublicradio.org Missouri Republicans aren’t giving up on making state constitution harder to amend

    Critics of the idea believe that Missourians won’t buy a plan that would make it more difficult to pass policies that the General Assembly doesn’t like.

    Missouri Republicans aren’t giving up on making state constitution harder to amend

    > As the 2023 legislative session sputtered to a close, House Speaker Dean Plocher stood before a throng of reporters talking about what happened — including the failure to change ballot initiatives.

    > Republicans wanted to send a ballot item to voters that would raise the threshold to amend the state constitution from a simple majority to 57%. The Des Peres Republican said something that many in Missouri politics assumed all along: Making the constitution more difficult to amend was critical in stopping an initiative petition to expand abortion access in Missouri.

    > “We are pro-life,” Plocher said. “And if the Senate fails to take action on IP [initiative petition] reform, I think the Senate should be held accountable for allowing abortion to return to Missouri.”

    > Some Democrats, like House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, said Plocher was saying “the quiet part loud” about the motivations behind trying to get voters to approve a measure raising the constitutional amendment threshold. But in many respects, the proposal will have a far bigger impact than just stymying one potential initiative petition.

    Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees!

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1163202

    I setup this community specifically because of the time I've spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it's worth.)

    Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven't left your job yet. 🤣

    Want to be a mod? Let me know!
