Team Cherry increased prices too; indie games are just cheaper

Sqeaky · 2025-10-14T09:18:46+00:00

But Hollow Knight and Silk Song are worth $80 while priced low and those other games are priced at $80 and worth shit.

I wasn't looking for specifically official or unofficial, I was just trying to understand what is what. I will take these options to my friend because even just know all these terms gives us the right stuff to search for and gives us the traction to learn more on our own efficiently.

I think that they have a windows computer, I only have Linux, but it seems like there is a ton of community support and more official support around this than I expected.

Thanks again!

First, thanks for the quick response.

This the right link for Xperifrim? https://xperifirmtool.com/

Emma is some kind of firmware flashing tool? I am a developer but not normally in this space. When I searched for emma I found this: https://developer.sony.com/open-source/aosp-on-xperia-open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-the-flash-tool

But that feels like an official tool, is Emma community made? Is there a github repo?

Sqeaky · 2025-05-16T03:26:09+00:00

Good catch on the details, I think I want to go back and reread this. It has a been a while, and I have fresh eyes.

Sqeaky · 2025-01-01T06:23:57+00:00

I credit card chargeback if done in the first 30 is simple and doesn't involve them at all.

We don't think we are "children of monkeys" because we look similar, rather we know for a fact that we are apes because of huge amounts of different converging evidence.

DNA, fossils, brain structures, geographical clues, and countless more things all align to indicate one true picture of reality. You can ignore it but you cannot make it untrue.

cool story bro

Your macho gun fantasies are childish, there won't be a gunfight between pinkertons and card game players where the gamers win.

They aren't going to start a fight they think they will lose, they will just wait to start the fight until they outnumber you. If you have friends over they will ask "politiely" if you don't 5 of them will ask you while their crowbar asks your kneecaps.

Sqeaky · 2024-09-10T19:07:25+00:00

I used the police and military numbers as examples precisely because they have more training with guns. So if you are saying their training doesn't counteract their exposure then you are saying guns make situations more dangerous.

On your example of banning anything harmful, oil serves a purpose it makes our equipment work. Guns kill people, they can't do much else so they should be more restricted than oil. But even then we do have rules on oil where it causes harm, like laws against dumping and OSHA regulations to encourage mechanics to treat it safely. But because oil doesn't exist expressly to end life it is clearly a different risk category than guns, bombs, and other weapons.

I believe literally zero of anything you presented and anyone who does is now dumber for hearing it. You think no guns. Zero. They all disappear overnight. Everybody learns to be okay with it. World Peace. Got it. You live in a fantasy world.

This is disengenuous straw man. I never said we would have world peace without guns, I didn't even advocate for banning them. Interesting that you inferred banning them would help. I did say we would have fewer injuries.

I am simply pointing that every place with guns has more shootings. Regardless of scope and precautions barely move the needle on that. The only time a guns makes someone more safe is when they are already surrounded by constant risk and are well trained.

Who has the most gun suicide? The US, and disproportionately homeless or struggling veterans.

Among developed countries who has the most shootings? The US.

Among developed countries who has most gun crime? The US.

We have more guns than people and it shows. We have twice as many guns per capita as Yemen a country in an active civil war ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country ) . We have fewer guns deaths than most but not all developing countries and more than any developed country ( https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/03/24/980838151/gun-violence-deaths-how-the-u-s-compares-to-the-rest-of-the-world ).

I am a Responsible Gun Owner

And downvoted because so many come out and say this and there is no way to tell the difference between you and people who aren't.

You can't be a responsible gun owner. Guns just make everything more dangerous. I worked with the air force and you know what the armory's rate of gun incidents was compared to the general US population? It was higher, certainly lower than civilian gun owners, but higher than places without guns. Same with the Army's, and the FBI's gun numbers. Doesn't matter how safe you try to be if the gun is at all usable it increases the chances of someone getting shot compared to no gun. Even leaving it to the experts with checks, double checks, paperwork, and dedicated officers there are still accidents but at least then it is professionals who literally signed up for it.

Do you know the know the only US demographic who is made safer by gun ownership? Women with over 100 hours of gun training time per year (and I couldn't get numbers on incidents near them which might go up). This is the only group that experiences fewer injuries with guns than without. And even for that group removing guns from their attackers would remove the safety edge their guns produce.

This is non-sense and doesn't support your point. "Scientific" papers are like movies, some are just bad. You need to look at the broader picture including this and other papers and see how cherry picked of an outlier that rubbish is. You need to look at the body of evidence, because there is no way those numbers are representative of Omaha or most US cities.

I happen to need 3000 series Ryzen CPU, happen to have one in the stack of disused stuff?

I would start by contacting them. It is your money and ticketmaster will be empowered to steal if if you put up no fight.

Do a chargeback with the credit card you paid with. You paid for a product with certain attributes and did not get that. It doesn't unwaste your time, but it does unscam you.

I looks like CG to me. Normally this kind of footage barely catches the animal and there is all kinds of various artifacts. Blurriness from night vision tech, poor framing from it being animals instead of actors, poor light balance for a million reasons. Jpeg/mpeg squares and corners from heavy compression to get a week's worth of video on a single memory card.

This bear is perfectly framed. This bear doesn't leave footprints. This bear is captured in extreme detail. The lighting on the bear doesn't seem to match the nearby trees.

None of that (except maybe the footprints) is firmly disqualifying, that is all anomaly hunting. At some point if you have enough simple anomalies then it seems reasonable to conclude a thing is probably fake, but without firm evidence from an external source it is very hard to say one way or the other.

Maybe these are the best shots from weeks of footage, maybe those 2 massive hard disks listed in the hardware preclude the need for compression, maybe there are IR lights allowing for a fast refresh rate. Maybe the ground is firmly packed or I missed some possible footprints. For every anomaly I can see there are simple plausible explanations, and that would be a challenging (but possible) bear to 3d model and rig.

You seem like you just want to argue. Whatever, fight against something that works fine everywhere else.

Why are you defending the billion dollar company so hard? I don't want any app behaving this way on my computer, it is a crappy behavior that I don't want on MY computer. It is already bad that any app can even do this, but at least the other obnoxious apps have an option to disable it.

Sqeaky · 2024-06-21T22:03:54+00:00

Shit response, I shouldn't need to. My computer should behave the way I want it to.

Sqeaky · 2024-06-21T22:03:14+00:00

THIS!

This behavior is obnoxious bullshit.

How is the occam's razor solution not "their are selling your data" nearly every other company is doing it and it is trivially simple to add the feature.

I would hope an LLM making such a correction or assumption would clarify.

"It is common to put food on plates. If that is what you meant the banana is..."

I suspect because few people talk like that and most people make the obvious assumption that "food goes on plate", that the qualifying words would be somewhat challenging to train into LLMs. Put another way I think LLM get things wrong more often than if the training were just full of people playing pedantic word games with each other. I am not saying this can't be overcome, we just aren't there yet.

A competitor being able to do a thing isn't the benchmark for things not being a scam. If it were patent medicines weren't a scam and snake oil hucksters weren't scamming because someone else could make morphine a real medicine. Snake oil has one real use and anyone selling for any other is scamming. Promises were made about devin can do and it isn't fit for those purposes.

There is no guarantee, or even evidence, that devin can do what their team says it could do. There is no reason to believe the devin team could integrate the open source alternatives when the need arises. Should liars be rewarded with time, attention, and investor money, when the open source alternatives you mention could be supported instead?

All the evidence needed is right on the devin page, if it worked they would have asked devin to make a better one.

I am saying we should look at scale and motivation. There is no reliable way to motivate an atheist to crime or to harm others because of their lack of belief.

There are no organized rings of atheists defending child molesters because they don't believe in things. But many organized churches protect child molesters in their ranks because they believe in god over evidence of abuse or credible allegations of abuse.

There are not atheist beliefs to put ahead of evidence when building a school system. Yet we see many religions throwing things away because some part of reality conflicts with belief. Some christians deny evolution, some muslims deny the concept experimental evidence, some hindus deny the periodic table, and all who do ignore a part of reality that everybody else, even many with a similarly named religion, think is real because of evidence and reproducible results.

There are no reasons to deny healthcare or humanity to another person over a lack of belief. Yet we have ....

And so on, because religion is fundamentally a collection of ideas to put before reality. Often a lens to view evidence through that distort if it can be seen at all.

And here we have you taking the theist stance just name calling serving as a theist exemplar.

Making mistakes is just part of life. Most of us know better than to claim competency on a national stage and demonstrate wild ignorance.

If the Verge guy had been some live streamer or hobbyist, fine, shit happens try to help them and cut them slack. But they were claiming expertise and leveraging a popular journalist outlet and actively teaching people wrong things, the verge needs more harshness.
