a scene with flashing lights induced photosensitive epileptic seizures in children across [Japan]. Over 600 children were taken to hospitals.

I had heard some rumors about kids getting seizures during a Pokémon episode way back when, but TIL how widespread it was. Holy shit.

"We oughta name this after Tamatea."

"Who?"

"You know, the dude that serenades chicks with a kōauau."

"...?"

"Tamatea! You know, Climber of Mountains! The Explorer!"

"Doesn't ring a bell."

"...the guy with the weird legs"

"Oh yeah ol' Big Knees!"

Mozilla Introducing 'Terms of Use' to Firefox in c/privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible

Gee whizz, like what? What "basic" functionality is missing that can only be solved with a ToS saying they're going to track how I use their browser?

Without it, we couldn't use information typed into Firefox

That's what I needed to see. So it's not missing basic functionality, they just want to make it legal to track your browser usage.

2 more arrested in death of Sam Nordquist, transgender man tortured in New York in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago (5 children)

It's about motive.

Officials then revealed in the statement, obtained Monday by USA TODAY, that the relationship between the suspects and Nordquist suggests it was not a hate crime.

Nordquist and those suspected in his death were known to each other, and all identified as LGBTQ+, authorities said. At least one of the suspects lived with Nordquist before his death, the statement added.

A "hate crime" by most definitions is motivated purely by a prejudice against someone because of their race/gender/sexuality. If the culprits were just doing this because they're psychotic, it wouldn't be pursued as a "hate crime".

"We are still in the early stages of this investigation," according to a statement. "We urge the community not to speculate into the motive behind the murder as we work to find justice for Sam."

It sounds like it's still possible it'll be tried as a hate crime, but the revelation that the culprits were known to the victim and also identified as LGBTQ+ means there's likely more to the motive.

Palworld wouldn't have been half as popular without Nintendo's constant push to take it down.

Analog Stick mods? in c/3ds@lemmy.world
[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh cool, a nifty example right there in the wiki page. Nice! THAT sounds like a much better option over cracking it open & replacing the whole stick.

Analog Stick mods? (lemm.ee)
 

The factory default analog stick on my 3DS has a very smooth texture, and I have to keep repositioning my thumb on it. I've seen one hardware mod where a guy installed a 3D-printed stick on his, but didn't see a how-to and I haven't seen any alternative ideas.

I'm curious what's out there - What's your favorite analog stick mod?

Is any of this real? I was genuinely interested, but it seems like this is just a comedy bit?

"Cannonball Punch" sounds like a fun move, though.

Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm confident the answer to the initial question is "yes", but in my little corner of the world I've never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don't recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades.

Sculpting fascinates me, but I'm totally ignorant of how it works. If you’re a sculptor -

  • when/how did you start? Do you start with clay and pottery?
  • How do you "practice"? Play-doh? Gotta imagine it's different based on your preferred medium?
  • do artists still use marble? Seems like it'd be insanely expensive & one mistake screws the whole thing up

Newbie looking for tidbits (lemm.ee)
 

Hi all, a friend convinced me to give FFXIV a try, and I've just made myself a Conjurer character. I'm barely 5-10 minutes in and damn this game's pretty. Also pleasantly surprised by how solid the controller support is so far.

Curious if there are any pitfalls I should avoid, or if any of you seasoned players have advice for someone who's just starting out.

  • Currently on the free trial. Does the subscription ever go on sale? I don't doubt its value, but ~$150 USD / year is steep for any game (imo).
  • Are the classes/races decently balanced? I've played other MMOs where the game's just not viable with certain classes.
  • I saw a menu option for macros, and I'd assume that's keyboard-only? Are there any other players using just a controller, or does that become a hinderance at some point?

What's your auto-complete setup? (lemm.ee)
 

Recent versions of Vim include a built-in auto-complete feature, and of course there are a half-billion other auto-complete plugins available through GitHub.

What's your setup? Plugins, or vanilla? Suggested tweaks?

Manifesto (2015), dir. Julian Rosefeldt (i.imgur.com)
 

"Manifesto" has no plot, and the only thing tying the ~dozen scenes together is Cate Blanchett. Her monologues range from common hippie platitudes to batshit insanery, and she moves deftly between the dozen starkly different characters. There's some beautiful cinematography, but the show is stolen by Blanchett's incredible performances.

Highly recommended for folks that like "artsy" movies with no plot, or anyone who needs 90 minutes of solid Cate Blanchett.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), dir. Tone Hooper (i.imgur.com)
 

~45 minutes in. This brief little moment with Leatherface might be my favorite scene in the movie. The way he lumbers to the window, glances anxiously outside, and puts his head in his hands... without a word we see a glimpse of his humanity. Is Leatherface a psychotic murderer, taking joy in killing these teens? Or is he the homemaker, protecting his family's property from these strangers who barged in? What's actually going on in his head?

Love this flick.
