Sugar Cubes N97 Elite reimagines the Nokia N97 smartphone as a handheld game console


At a time when most handheld game consoles look like souped up versions of classic Nintendo or Sony PlayStation designs, Chinese handheld designer Sugar Cubes is taking inspiration from a different source for its latest mobile gaming device.

The Sugar Cubes N97 Elite is a handheld with a 4.6 inch display and a compact body that measure just 119 x 56mm (4.7″ x 2.2″). But you can slide the […]

How to stay legally compliant when posting on Piracy communities online?


I'm new around here, so I'd appreciate some context if anyone knows...

What are the legal ramifications of discussing piracy online?
What are the lines in the sand one should not cross?
What do you do to make sure you stay safe out there?

I know linking to specific pirated content is against the communities rules so that seems like an obvious no no.

That's pretty much dependent on your and your platform's jurisdictions.
in reply to Lemmchen

Or how good you are at hiding yourself vs the very low risk they try to dox you.
in reply to froth

Depends a lot on where you reside.

In where I live; no one cares for personal piracy. There have been local tracker owners busted; but the law enforcement did not go after each member individually; even though they could've according to law.

Legal ramifications? Highly unlikely; unless you're explaining how to break copy prevention methods. That's considered illegal in a lot of countries afaik.

As for lines you should not cross; I see ethics as more of a concern than anything. If you're trying to learn how to use some software feel free to pirate it; but if you go into the level where you make a significant income out of it; you really should pay for it.

It's been more than a week since the last event at #SocialWebFOSDEM, and I'm just now getting to writing up some summary thoughts and follow-on notes. We had three big planned events at FOSDEM, so there is an overwhelming amount to think about, and take-a

Haven't seen this one yet but I'm a big fan of his more analytical content.

Watched this a couple days ago. Surprisingly level headed explanations and reasoning for what's happening in gaming. Worth a watch.



EU says it will retaliate immediately if Trump imposes new tariffs


Summary

The EU and its leaders warned of swift retaliation if Donald Trump enacts new 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, as he announced over the weekend.

The European Commission criticized the move as “unjustified” and vowed to protect EU businesses.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron pledged countermeasures, with Macron warning tariffs would also hurt the U.S.

The UK government said it was monitoring developments, while UK Steel called the potential tariffs “devastating.” The EU previously responded to Trump-era tariffs with retaliatory measures.

Time to huddle down and stop buying shit. Maintain and repair old vehicles, download your media, go through your backlog of videogames, etc.

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 power connectors are melting


in reply to RmDebArc_5

Why not just use a connector that is designed for this much and is already cheap and easily available.

Content curation in the Fediverse is better!


I just had my first experience blocking an instance, and it made my realize now nice the lemmy content curation experience is vs the centralized model.

Recently I started noticing a lot of posts from that I just found annoying. There was nothing inherently wrong with them, they just came from a culture I don't understand and so I found them cringey. Since they all came from one community, realized most of them come from the same instance. I just added that instance to my blocklist and the problem is solved!

Now think about in the centralized model. I would be forced to either just accept that these posts are in my timeline, or block each community and user individually. The instance gave me an easy way to manage my content.

I also appreciate that instances can manage the blocking for their users. So the most horrible stuff I don't even see. But it also preserves free speech, as those users who want to say horrible things can do so in their own instance, and most people will just block it.

Anyway, just impressed again by the fediverse!

in reply to doylio

I think you've just (perhaps independently) discovered the (in my mind very important) idea that moderation is different from censorship. I think the fediverse structure implements that distinction a lot better than most other platforms nowadays do.
in reply to doylio

Never had a reason to block an instance, here or in mastodon.
in reply to pls

That is not the point, the point is that you can. You can curate your feed yourself instead of relying solely on an algorithm or a curation team
in reply to pls

On mastodon I follow a lot of hashtags and so I will mute foreign language accounts so they don’t show up in my home feed. Thankfully I’ve never had to block an entire instance but I chalk that up to troublesome instances already being defederated from my instance

“Gaming has been for a long time just an extremely digital thing that you do only by sitting at your computer and changing pixels or programming,” Kaya said. “Now we are in this age where anything can go into a video game, and when you put a lot of literally and metaphorically interesting textures, it just becomes a more interesting work. Stop-motion is a great way to do that.”


Hell yes, use technology to make videogames more human not less human!

The whole point is using Israel as an anchor point for US expansionism at this moment in time.
