“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

4·12 hours agoPCSX2’s GameDB is tied to a version just the same. If the DB file changes on GitHub between versions (stable or nightly), that’s reflected when the user updates. Coming to think of it, RPCS3 might just download its updates from the RPCS3 website. I use Flathub, so I’ve never checked.
It looks at a (very) quick glance like this is going to be a file that downloads from
https://api.rpcs3.net/config/, not something shipped with RPCS3 by default like we ship the GameDB YAML file with PCSX2. Optional like ours.Aside: Shame to see RPCS3 still on Twitter. They’re a great team and deserve better than that. While I was away for a while, apparently a couple contributors decided to restart PCSX2’s Twitter (albeit automatically syndicated from our Mastodon and Bluesky), which I’m not especially happy about.
2·23 hours ago@dohpaz42@lemmy.world On the grounds that no moderator was here to listen to the will of the users and therefore (exceedingly likely, due to overwhelming backlash) make a rule against intentionally de-attributed comics, I would like to ask your permission to go back and remove Beep’s posts of de-attributed comics.
I make a point not to apply rules ex post facto, but this is an extenuating circumstance where 1) there’s almost a 100% chance such a rule would’ve existed if the community had been moderated, 2) Beep was obviously, intentionally, and maliciously taking advantage of that fact, and 3) the posts are still intentionally harmful to artists as they stay up. I emphasize points 1 and 2 for why ex post facto removal is entirely fair in this case and point 3 for why it should be used. This isn’t an ad populum argument; I wouldn’t be doing this if I just thought it was the popular option. (See above.)

No?? Oh my gosh, was there a second paragraph I forgot to read or something? Shit.
Terrible guide. You’ll get nowhere in life if you act like this; everyone around you will think you’re some kind of insecure loser, and they won’t want you in their lives.
This is because you’re wasting so many perfectly good opportunities when you replace “Thank you” with nothing at all instead of e.g. “No need to thank me” or “It was my pleasure” or “No sweat”. Then people will know how cool and helpful you are and how much they need you.
Insult me all you want, but you’re not going to pretend you were “just asking questions” when you used people with mental disabilities as a punchline.
You know what you meant.
Oh god, is plip plap the gay one?? I promised my mom in high school that I wasn’t gay; if she finds out, she’ll never let me live it down.
Excuse me, but I believe you dropped your monster condoms.
We don’t tolerate ableism here. They were calling the OP “mentally disabled” as an insult and advising them to get tested.
If you don’t think it’s ableism just because it’s supporting your side of the argument, then so be it; I do.
Yeah, I enforced Rule 1: “😇 Be Nice!”, quoting from it exactly. We don’t tolerate ableism around here. You were using the mentally disabled as the punchline to an insult, and the fact you’re apparently trying to pretend otherwise is insulting.
Oh, I won’t block them because I moderate a community they spent weeks ruining and barely didn’t get banned from as an olive branch.

They come up to me – great people, smart people – and they come up and they tell me: "Mr. Technician, sir, we’re so impressed with your terminology. Everybody’s talking about it. China’s talking – " they don’t have very good doctors over there, folks, so they come to me for advice.
Okay, please explain this one:
Actual meta-analysis published online May 2023 and in a journal August 2024. Article likewise uses a slop thumbnail, titled
