St. Louis, MO | Gateway to the West@midwest.social•Largest nursing home in St. Louis closes suddenly, forcing out 170 residentsEnglish
2·2 years agoWow, what a tragic mess. Sounds like corporate greed at the root of it. Hope all the displaced people get sorted out. I worry about those that might not have much family…

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How much does it cost to run a site that deals with pirated content?English
21·2 years agoOne thing to consider is that it’s not just hosting a site, it’s all the work they do to do the DRM removal and the repack. That takes time, which might be time they could be using to earn money. So getting some money from their work can help incentivize it.
Hard to say what that actually boils down to for each person, if they’re not releasing any expenses info (site costs, time spent per project, etc). If you’re thinking about donating, I’d think of it more as a “thank you” gift for their work than anything else, and give an amount you wouldn’t miss.

Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Cycling Fallacies - Counters to Common Anti-Cycling ArgumentsEnglish
1·2 years agoNot sure if any exist. Recharging by pedal would require adding resistance to the pedaling. The added resistance is fine in a car because they’re so heavy and fast that it’s barely noticeable downhill. But it’d be very noticeable to someone on a bike.

Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Cycling Fallacies - Counters to Common Anti-Cycling ArgumentsEnglish
4·2 years agoYea, I think there’s some truth in that argument when it comes to temperature - I know I can adjust to pretty hot or cold weather after a while. But yea, no matter how much I love biking I am less likely to do it in the rain or snow, where it’s not only more uncomfortable but also more dangerous.

4·2 years agoWhich ones? I haven’t looked at all of them but a lot of them have a “Further Reading” section below, which is the citations.

Games@sh.itjust.works•No, Cult of the Lamb's next free expansion won't be 'the sex update'English
3·2 years agoInteresting question honestly. Sims 4 (rated T) certainly allows you to kill off Sims, but you’re an omnipotent being, it doesn’t have Sim-on-Sim murder. I think this is true for a lot of simulation games where the player isn’t a character in the world. Cult of the Lamb is obviously inspired by those games, but also makes the leap to you being represented by a character.

Technology@lemmy.world•'Signal tests usernames to avoid using phone numbers.' Great move?English
3·2 years agoWould you be more likely to use Signal if the username tests become mainstream? Then you wouldn’t need to share your phone # with everyone.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tiktok's most popular painter sends followers after art critic for negative review of gallery exhibitEnglish
71·2 years agoI always enjoyed these tiktoks, staged or not. But man this is a shitty attitude. Imagine taking it as an insult if someone identified you from your best known (and quite good) work.

Technology@beehaw.org•Twitter's lost 13% of its daily users and its rebrand has failedEnglish
4·2 years agoA real transition will happen in bursts. I’d love to see stats by interest categories, because I suspect what happens is enough prominent people in some community move at to bring the rest with them, but until that happens there’s no budge.
Oh,my info is old then! Exciting

11·2 years agoI just bought Fallout 4 GOTY for $5 the other day. Look forward to doing the same in a few years when Cyberpunk 2077 has a final release with everything fixed and polished. There’s so many good old games, why buy anything brand new.
And this doesn’t forgive devs for buggy initial releases either, because I’m not throwing money at something until it’s actually done.
