Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam AltmanEnglish
101·1 month agoYes, actually. They’re both different mixes of plutonium isotopes. Iirc reactor grade plutonium is far more stable than weapons grade (because blowing up is less desirable for reactors than bombs), and has some different properties when used.
Yeah, but its still using rebuilt HD assets which make it look way better than the original game its based off of.
That’s the HD remaster that came out like 10 years ago. They most certainly did not make that on windows 98.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•FF7 Rebirth: Valve Messes Up with The Verified Rating Again
3·11 months agosame. Ive played it for about ~10 hours on the steam deck so far, and i have my FPS counter turned on at all times; never seen it dip below 40, and i dont think ive touched any settings. On an original steam deck, not an OLED, though

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•I got an old game working through WINE that wouldn't work through Windows' compatibility mode
6·11 months agowindows can still play castle of the winds? i play it all the time. In fact, i just booted it up again a moment ago to make sure it didnt break recently or something. I dont remember ever having any issues playing it, and ive played it off and on for decades. In fact, googling real quick, it looks like my abandonware even has a “easy installer” for it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey?
24·1 year agoYou’ve obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they’re unsafe to eat.
Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.
Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it’s unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its usersEnglish
6·1 year agoyeah, its hard to predict what will happen to it, especially after gabe steps down or dies, but depending on how much of the company is broadly owned by employees vs individuals, it can help to shield it from bad decisions. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact numbers. If gabe + mike own 51+% then it could potentially lead to overriding employee will in a bad decision for money (either through their actions or through inheritance like you say). Or the employees could just collectively make a bad decision too.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its usersEnglish
68·1 year agoAFAIK, most of valve’s stock is held by employees, not private investors. It’s usually a pretty hard sell of “make the company you work at shittier to make more money”, especially since most of the employees probably know gabe personally (valve has less than 400 employees) and likely approve of his leadership.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?English
1917·1 year agoFWIW, at this point, that study would be horribly outdated. It was done in 2022, which means it probably took place in early 2022 or 2021. The models used for coding have come a long way since then, the study would essentially have to be redone on current models to see if that’s still the case.
The people’s perceptions have probably not changed, but if the code is actually insecure would need to be reassessed
That was changed a while back, the current restrictions are you can only have as many people playing any given game as you have copies in your current sharing library

Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists illuminate a path to quantum AGI with new light-based chipsEnglish
7·1 year agoI guess that would just be a GPU?
Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They’re purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.
You basically just described kanban.

News@lemmy.world•IRS makes free tax return program permanent and is asking all states to join in 2025
8·2 years agoIt still blows my mind how she could defend turning down federal funding for free lunches for school children. Like, the federal dollars were already allocated, turning it down does nothing but route that money elsewhere for the same purpose, why not help starving children in your state?!

13·2 years agoiowa? Sounds like reynolds.
As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.
It’s worth noting that some coursera courses are created and maintained by actually accredited institutions, and some courses qualify as college credit with ACE accreditation. Also, many tech certifications host their courses on coursera too, like microsoft has official azure cert courses on there.
That doesn’t necessarily mean anything for any given random cert, though, because that means that the entire site is a pretty big grab bag in terms of the usefulness of their certs.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord - Launch TrailerEnglish
8·2 years agoDepends on the person. It’s very “old school” in it’s gameplay, and very hard and punishing, grindy, has perma-death, etc.
I’d think most modern gamers would hate it, but I personally like wizardry to games (though it helps that I’m old enough to have played older versions). If you like old school d&d, it’s very much in the same vein. The remake linked here is pretty good, I already own it from early access.
People frequently make demakes with pico-8







Quite possible. I’m not an expert and working from memory, so I could very well get something wrong
