Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else think Steam is going to close the hardware side of their business?
47·6 days agoNo, they’re not hurting for cash and everyone is dealing with crazy hardware pricing right now.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows?
12·6 days agoHuh I had no idea we’re not allowed to feed crows.
I got dive bombed years ago one summer, after which I started bribing the crows with peanuts from my balcony. I started by just putting them on my railing, backing away and letting them see me as they grabbed them. Now they’re used to me and let me get pretty close, or come hang out when I’m out there.
They’ve got babies out front of my building this week and show no interest in me or my dog, but I see them bombing other people regularly.
Have you ever noticed how all the vampire lore is based around Europe, but never in Africa?
It’s because they bless the rains down in Africa.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can we possibly create our personal email ?
53·18 days agoYou can run your own mail server. I generally don’t recommend it, it’s a pain.
You can also host your own domain at somewhere like proton mail, so you have your own @whatever.com

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How common was video game piracy in the 90s?English
47·1 month agoFor pc, very. I spent hours downloading rips of games off a BBS. One of the few games I bought was duke nukem 3d and that’s just because I wanted the build level editor that I couldn’t find a download of.
For consoles, less so. I had a pirated “100 in 1” nes cart of from China but all the games were crap. Cartridge copying wasn’t a thing.
I vaguely remember a n64 device that could load cartridge images off a zip drive or something. Nobody had one though.
Piracy became bigger again when the ps1 mod chip came out and we had brand new cd burners. Dreamcast too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why don't cards from one's home country work at foreign app stores, steam or the PS store?
14·2 months agoPricing is different per region, and they don’t want you shipping for apps from a cheaper region.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones?
44·2 months agoGo voltuneer at a shelter and walk dogs for them first. I don’t think you’ve considered how much work is involved in a dog, are you prepared to adopt a small child?
If no referrer header is sent, CF will let it through. You can copy + paste the url into a new tab to get to it, but I’m guessing some apps don’t provide a referrer.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•To whoever decided it is acceptable to wear yoga pants in public:
671·2 months agoThat should be a Canadian flag. You can thank lululemon for it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it?
33·3 months agoSome theaters have closed captioning done via a backwards display at the back of the theater, you wear special glasses or something that have mirrors. I think some may also do alternate languages.
People get into the mood of bidding and lose all rationality.
You can buy 100 marbles for like $10 online

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?English
105·3 months agoI don’t. Of my 120tb, I only care about the 4tb of personal data and I push that to a cloud backup. The rest can just be downloaded again.

Autism@lemmy.world•Is there a way to make money as someone with autism?
15·4 months agoI was just asking a question? In fact almost the exact question you answered? Your comment would just be constructive instead of rude without the first two sentences. Thanks for the info anyways.
Despite their best intentions they can’t protect their child forever. They need to have an honest discussion together so op understands why, but I still feel it’s reasonable to try and do something to grow themselves. It’s not going to get easier as the family gets older and the parents eventually can no longer work themselves.

29·4 months agoWhy won’t your parents let you get a job? You’re gonna need to be an adult at some point, over sheltering you is just going to hurt you more in the long run.
