I'm not well-versed in Iran's politics, but is there actually any hope that his replacement will be any better for the Iranian people? I'd have to imagine that whoever is next in line would already be very much aligned with his existing policies.
I've not heard of this project, but it seems quite old at this point. Does this even still have any impact on advertisers anymore? I'd imagine that this would be something that is quite arbitrary to detect and account for, in terms of their ability to track users.
Yes, and I've seen this brought up a bunch recently. I think somebody has some weird personal grudge against her, and has been editing Wikipedia pages and submitting fake "tips" to gossip outlets to report on it. Most of the actual reports of Elles being underage have been deleted, likely because they weren't true. I haven't found any piece of material from a reputable source reporting this, either. I've looked into this before, and I've found no actual proof that she uploaded anything illegal, or that her award was ever rescinded.
NSFW LINKS: The most "proof" I could find is that comparing the oldest available Archive.org backup of the page to the current page shows that some of the header images have been removed, but her name and award title were never mentioned in the text of either version of the article.
Now, I'm not one to espouse conspiracy theories, but I don't think it should be ignored that the earliest reports of this claim appear to come from somebody with a financial incentive to make these claims, so interpret these findings how you wish.
EDIT: I won't be surprised if this thread or OP's video end up deleted soon. From everything I can see, Elles is likely very good at takedown requests by now. Especially considering she got OP once already.
As somebody who put probably hundreds of hours into the Banjo-Kazooie games on N64 as a kid, I really wanted to like Yooka-Laylee, especially since they got Grant Kirkhope back to do the music. But something about the controls just felt really clunky and unintuitive, and I never made it more than a few hours into the game. I really ought to give it another shot at some point.

That seems like a pretty big oversight on the Lemmy development side of things. There should, at the very least, be an option to submit a report either anonymously or to have it tied to your account. A disclaimer could be included that anonymous reports cannot be responded to in case that is a concern for users.
I don't think anybody's forgotten, it's just that CDPR actually fixed almost all of the issues players had with the game, from performance bugs to totally revamped features and game mechanics. The game is in a much better state now than 3 years ago when that video was made; it's almost unrecognizable from its original release form now.
Yeah, upper management at CDPR ignored the devs who told them the game wasn't ready to ship yet, but they really wanted to take advantage of the new market of players staying home and playing video games after covid first hit.
That short-sighted money grab cost them so much in the long run. It's actually insane to see CDPR's redemption arc play out after how badly they handled the launch.
You can still do some slide-dash shenanigans in the current version, but it requires a few skill upgrades to really take advantage of. It's nowhere near as broken as it was originally, but it's still quite useful for zipping around the map.
It’s also my opinion the female voice actor did an incredible job where as the male voice actor did a great job. Even in the most basic of side quests, it feels like she is giving it her all to be V in that situation whereas on the other hand some lines it feels like he’s just phoning it in.
100% agree. Male V just sounds like "generic video game man who is tough, but not too tough", where as the female V sounds like a hardened, cold bitch that you don't want to fuck with. Cherami Leigh's got range.

Ah, I misunderstood and see what you're referring to now. It looks like the way YouTube auto-truncates URLs caused the link to get mashed into the next line of text on the preview Lemmy fetched. As others mention, that's more of a Lemmy bug than anything.
I have to imagine that the only reason we haven't seen this happen yet is because the technology to do so hasn't been invented yet.
But, assuming that somebody comes up with some sort of projector-like device that can actually do this... is there anything that would legally prevent it from happening? Like, are there any sort of international laws against advertising on celestial bodies?
This is something that Nintendo should have had a better fix for years ago. With my PS5, I can access my screenshots and video clips from the app and save them directly to my device. I can't believe that Nintendo hasn't managed to do something as simple as this, they're just so unwilling to make a modern product.
For PS5, the last ~2 weeks of screenshots are accessible directly from the app, as well as video captures under a certain size (I think generally a 3-5 minute max). The console automatically backs them up to your PS cloud account.
I love this trend, because anybody who provides a serious answer whatsoever has already fallen for its trap. It's such an absolutely absurd scenario that's just specific enough to be divisive, and just vague enough that you can fill in the gaps with any preconceived notions of your own. It's impossible to provide any answer in which you can't be made to look like a clown, because every answer comes with baked-in counter arguments to it. Any answer you provide makes you look either heartless or clueless.
It almost makes me appreciate rage-bait as an art form.
EDIT: Some of you seem to have made some assumptions on my stance, and fail to realize the irony in doing so. The fact that anybody felt the need to have a multi-comment argument against this comment only proves my point, which is that it's 100% rage-bait, and you guys keep falling for it.
I didn't talk about statistics, nor did I answer the question at all. I fully get the point; I think you've missed the point if that was your takeaway from my comment.
That's why Spitz said to be angry in the Steam reviews instead of their Discord. People mistakenly took it as a dismissive whine, but that was actually a very important comment that I feel many people overlooked. Sony ain't gonna do anything differently unless there is actual, tangible damage to their brand. That damage doesn't come from chat rooms, that comes from storefront reviews.
Keep the bad reviews coming if you want any hope of Sony relenting.
Honestly, I think Sony is going to be more stubborn than Valve. I saw in another thread where some people were getting approved for their Steam refunds even after passing the 2-hour refund window, so it looks like Valve may already be the first to cave.
Sony's probably going to continue digging their heels in, though.
My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don't want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn't seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)...
LemmyWorld is already defederated from a lot of instances that the average user is likely to be blocking, anyway, so chances are those communities won't show up in your All feed to begin with.
On most Lemmy instances, you can go to the bottom of the front page and click the "Instances" link, and it'll show you all the other instances that one is connected to and which ones they block.
He did the test wrong because he's experimenting with "safety" algorithms that the manufacturer has provided little-to-no documentation on and is having to come up with answers on his own. Maybe he wouldn't be "doing it wrong" if Tesla hadn't over-engineered every aspect of their piece of shit truck in the first place. This thing is a solution in search of a problem, and it'll chop your fingers off until it finds it.

By and large, women on Bumble don't make the first move. Opening with "Hi" isn't a move, which is what many women on Bumble do to qualify the app's requirement that the woman speaks first.
I've lost track of how many matches I've had on Bumble where they didn't quite get the point of the app, and would open with something like "Impress me". Like, there's a hundred other apps you could use if you don't actually want to make the first move, why use the ONE where you're supposed to if you're not going to do it?
I don't get the hype over this. How often do you find your day interrupted by Play Store downloads that one finds this to be an important upgrade? My apps generally update while I'm asleep, I pretty much never need to wait for them.
Ahh yeah, that's a good point, I forgot about the recovery process. In that case, yeah I can absolutely see this saving a bunch of time when transferring devices.
Why do gamers spend thousands of hours on games they hate.
It's because that "hate" comes from a place of love, and isn't really hate at all. From the outside, it can be hard to understand, but the people who hate certain games the most are usually the biggest fans. They hate seeing squandered potential when something they love gets ruined by updates.
They don't hate the game, itself. They love the game, and they love what it could be under different circumstances. They love the memories they've had with the game, the connections they've made, the experiences they've shared. The "hate" they seem to have isn't really hate at all; it's passion. They love the game and want to see it in a better state. That's why they're so hyper critical, because they care the most.
