From what I’ve seen, they aren’t building the games, they are licensing existing ones. There are decent games in the mix.

Yes, definitely. Perhaps highlighted if it’s one of their first few posts or the account is new.

I am convinced this is already happening. One example is the endless new accounts posting ibtimes links.

There are also propoganda websites posted regularly by new accounts (especially sowing disinformation about Russia’s war on Ukraine).

Basically be wary of anything posted where it’s their first post. Often they make accounts and don’t use them for months so they look older.

I also think astroturfing is happening but at lower rate than reddit.

Like you, I have no idea how we can counter this at scale.

Huh, is there some drama I missed?

Haha dumb autocorrect. Firefish is what I was trying to say.

The beautiful thing about the Fediverse is that those 75 users are in an ecosystem with the 50k+ Lemmy/K/mbin users, along with users from Sublinks, Mastodon, Firefish, etc.

Calculator?

I never knew about it until now and I’ve used GIMP often enough, but if I was going to assign a keyboard shortcut, that makes sense. Ctrl +A select all. Ctrl + Shift + A select none.

Shift is the oppositer (reverser?). Tab goes to next field, Shift + Tab goes in reverse order. Ctrl + T open new tab in browser, Ctrl + Shift + T reopen last closed tab - OK that’s not exactly opposite but close enough.

Haha evil! I love it!

Bonzai buddy! Yes, that was one. Also I seem to recall naked women ones you couldn’t close.

I don’t remember grommit, but also I failed to find anything when trying to search it up. It shares its name with too many things.

Ah shit the sheep thing! In fact, there were others I can’t remember. And I seem to remember somewhere along the line they went from fun to spam things walking around your screen trying to make you buy shit or maybe they were trying to scam you, I can’t remember but they weren’t fun anymore, and hard to get rid of.

I don’t think those speakers are capable of voice. They can handle a few different beep tones and that’s about it. The song was not like listening to Spotify, it was played using beep tones.

I mean I guess you are supposed to take it to your computer repair shop and tell them it won’t stop playing Für Elise, and the shop is supposed to recognise it as a failure of CPU fan signal. If it just beeped a few times on startup then people would ignore it, and if it beeped constantly then well maybe Für Elise is nicer.

Super impressive since we used to play Quake 2 all day on it!

Holy shit, TIL!

Are you trying to make me feel old?

Haha I remember the days of downloading random EXEs off the internet and running them to see what they do (also the days of CD-rom drives).

My auntie somehow managed to get a virus that played Für Elise through the motherboard speaker and never stopped so long as the thing was on. I don’t think they ever solved it, in the end they just got a new PC.

I don’t spend a lot of time gaming. It would almost certainly be buying it to play just this game.

Also Nintendo are kind of ducks, so I don’t really want to give them any money.

Ah cool thanks, with some news articles recently I wasn’t sure if there were still emulators available.

How would one go about playing it if they don’t have an Nintendo console?
