I don’t get it, is something wrong with that response? I looked it up and that is when he died.

It’s not unreasonable to answer yes to that first question; that’s why it’s not the most sound argument. I was pretty firmly in the ‘nothing to hide’ camp for a long time because that was the only reason I heard. I really don’t care if some random government office worker knows about all the intimate details about my life. I don’t mind if you know I’ve been having prostate problems, but that’s not something I would tell to someone I know personally.
I feel like the people in this thread saying you should ask for personal details are kind of missing the point of the ‘nothing to hide’ argument. It’s not that they feel they have nothing to hide from everyone, it’s that they feel they have nothing to hide from those with access to their data (governments/corporations). Knowing intimate life details of someone you know personally is very different from knowing intimate life details of some random person you’ll never meet. I would argue something like this instead:
Unless you’re a newborn, everyone in the US has broken thousands of laws in their life. It’s unavoidable. If corporations/the government have records of all that, if people don’t have privacy, the powers that be have the power to put anyone and everyone in prison for the rest of their lives at their discretion.
Even if you’re not worried now, once your data is out there it’s not coming back. You may agree with the policy of government and corporations now, but can you be sure that’ll be the case in ten years? Twenty? Thirty? Who knows how laws and regimes will change, and through all that, they’ll always have power over you.
That’s terrible of course, but the story alone doesn’t really counter the ‘nothing to hide’ argument when they did have something to hide.
I tried to give this video a real chance, but it’s just… really bad.
Their first main point, as best as I can tell through the fluff, is that choice is actually bad because choices have pros and cons - their example being desktop environments. I don’t think I need to explain why this is a bizarre take; that’s the point of choice. It’s like saying the whole concept of choosing an ice cream flavor is a joke because you don’t like chocolate ice cream.
Then they start talking about using outdated packages in Linux. Which, as should be clear to everyone after a few seconds of thought, isn’t an inherently bad thing in all situations, despite their anecdote about having to use an outdated version of software with a memory leak. Amusingly they say you should keep everything 100% updated all the time because breakage basically never happens (and that updates breaking things is a myth perpetuated by Microsoft) then say Arch Linux is prone to breakage. The real kicker is that this whole point of theirs not only has nothing to do with ‘choice on Linux being a joke’, choice is actually the solution to this problem - being able to choose stability vs cutting edge is a core part of Linux. They actually say if you want stability you should choose a distro focused on stability.
Then they talk about how proprietary software often doesn’t support Linux. Which sucks and is a valid reason not to use Linux, but has little to do with the central thesis of the video (as much as it has one) and is just a pointless snipe at low-hanging fruit.
The video is generic pop clickbait composed from a mix of tired criticisms and complete nonsense. It’s a meaningless collection of ideas and gripes that neither contribute to the larger conversation nor serve to educate people.
I’m typing this on my Xiaomi Mi9T which also has a popup camera. This phone is on its last legs, I’m not looking forward to having to get a new one with a typical selfie camera. A popup camera just makes so much more sense.
Ooh, great question! Super Metroid is one for me too. I love metroidvanias now, and really enjoyed the nonlinear / exploration elements of Super Mario World, but I didn’t play a proper metroidvania until my teens. I think I’d take CV:SotN over Super Metroid, but I bet I’d have been more than happy with either.
I wish I grew up with some OG gameboy RPGs. Final Fantasy Legend, Dragon Warrior Monsters, Crystalis. They were just a bit too far before my time for me to get much exposure when I would have liked them best, so I don’t have any real nostalgia, but in revisiting old games I’ve always been drawn to those.
I timed my DSi; it varies a lot by game but the largest I tried (Pokemon Black 2) loaded in around 25 seconds on the first run, then loads in under 10 seconds on subsequent runs.
I recently started messing with my DSi again after a few years away from it, and you’re definitely not alone in being confused by it all - I really have no idea what exactly I did to it. To refresh everything I ended up just wiping the SD card, then putting Twilightmenu on it. I can still boot into unlaunch so I must have modified the firmware / internal storage before, but I don’t know if hiyaCFW is something that lives on there on the SD card.
Speaking of which, that’s the same setup as my SD card, which is a 32gb Transcend. I can’t seem to find my SD card reader to double check but I’m pretty sure of using 32k cluster size.
Might be worth mentioning, I have another DSi with a wildly different system boot time for no apparent reason. I set it up the exact same, but it takes 15+ seconds to boot vs the <5 of my main DSi, even when I swap SD cards. The only difference between them is that the one that takes a long time to boot is Japanese. Games take about the same time to boot so it doesn’t seem directly related to your issue but who knows.
The first time booting a rom takes a while, but after that it’s only a few seconds for me. Maybe something to do with SD card formatting/specs?
Wow, this is only barely distinguishable as AI! Any workflow info?
Yup, this is the answer.
I like your distinction between ‘retro gaming’ and ‘a retro game’. Makes sense, well put.
Never heard of this one, but it looks like a lot of fun! I’ll be playing it soon, thanks for the tip.
I kind of assumed that haha, this wouldn’t be something you’d do for practical purposes. Still fun though!
Thank you! I was curious but not ten-minute-video curious. I wonder if there are other cloud providers without preventative measures measures in place.
Beehaw defederates like it’s going out of style, Lemmy.ml doesn’t allow criticism of the CCP. Lemmy.world seems much more stable and neutral.
Yeah, when I first saw the community name my first thought was that it was about being sick of the endless vitriolic spam towards him. I didn’t even know there was ‘worship’ of him, much less to the point of feeling like spam - like you said, funny how echo chambers work.
I dunno, it makes sense to me. New information or music releases can come out after someone’s death, and you asked what he’s been up to recently, not if/when he had died
