Bird flu detected in raw milk sold in California, health officials say
  • You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know. Morons.

  • Bird flu detected in raw milk sold in California, health officials say
  • Must not had given it enough sunshine and exercise first.

  • Republican blocks promotion of general involved in Afghanistan withdrawal
  • Here is the thing:

    Trump set the US evacuation in motion. In February 2020, his administration and the Taliban agreed that US forces would leave by 1 May the following year. After losing the 2020 election to Biden, Trump ordered the rapid withdrawal of all troops but was blocked by senior officials. Instead, the US began to swiftly reduce its presence.

    Everytime I point this out to a MAGA it starts an instant argument. It’s like tossing gas on a fire.

    The whole leave Afghanistan thing was Trumps idea but they all seem to forget that and want to pretend it was solely Biden’s fault for coming up with it. Putting the blame on the soldiers is some top tier shit stupidity as well.

  • Florida Surgeon General opposes fluoride in water as he is eyed for Trump admin
  • Hey I remember seeing this guy on the news. Wasn’t he the one Desantis had propped up during Covid that was recommending Ivermectin and some of the other quack theories?

    It would make sense if so he would be under consideration then. He’s right in line with Trump and his batshit ideas.

  • Scientists create the world's thinnest spaghetti
  • Now scientists just need to work on creating the worlds smallest meatball.

  • Matt Gaetz says he doesn't plan to rejoin Congress after withdrawing as Trump's pick for attorney general
  • I thought that at first too but now I am starting to think that some of these nominations were a ruse. Nominate the ‘worst ones of my supporters’ that have zero chance and if they get in, they get in, favors re-paid.

    If they don’t then he gets to find out who cried the loudest against him to keep them out (aka who wasn’t ‘loyal’) in the process and he will work to get those people kicked out.

    He will always find jobs for the Gaetz’s or whoever - maybe not top cabinet picks but there will be some ass kissing job somewhere.

    But I might be wrong as well. Gaetz was all around hated by everyone and completely incompetent but then again so are a few of his other choices. I guess time will tell.

  • Steam accused of 'normalizing hate and extremism in the gaming community' in new ADL report
  • Sounds like BS.

    I’ve been on Steam for years and I’ve never seen it. I’m sure it probably exists in the dark corners if you go searching for it but it’s not openly present like it is on FB and Zitter.

  • New Rule
    1. Tweaking (Emma only) 😂

    Lemma guess, Emma uses ‘Tweaking’ every other sentence?

  • Child safety org launches AI model trained on real child sex abuse images
  • It’s awful coincidental that he seems to hang out with the ‘rapist’ crowd. Even going as far as writing a letter for Masterson as to how nice of a guy he is to try to get him a lenient sentence.

    Even Hollywood has ostracized him and his wife - news sites recently reported they were looking to leave the country and let things cool off for a while.

    I’m sure everyone is right though that keep posting here, that he is a swell guy who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, multiple times. Several years worth of multiple times with wrong people. Just a coincidence.

  • Child safety org launches AI model trained on real child sex abuse images
  • Just remember folks. Kutcher is a slimeball too.

    The guy went from a D list star and hanging out with the likes of Danny Masterson and going to Diddy’s infamous parties - to suddenly overnight courting the US government and being the face of ‘helping’ children everywhere.

    Yeah right…..

  • Hacker got damaging sealed testimony against Matt Gaetz, attorney says
  • More like if Nixon, Nicholson, and Butt-head had a three way and somehow birthed this douche bag

  • Roblox will restrict kids under 13 from chatting outside of games
  • Well, they seem want to stick their noses in everything else personal/private that is none of their business and doesn’t affect anyone else but the person involved.

    Why not something that actually falls in the category of ‘think of the children’ for once? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Roblox will restrict kids under 13 from chatting outside of games
  • Every other day Roblox comes out and pink promises they are going to ‘do something’ soon to make it safer for children.

    Until the government cracks down on them or they loose a massive lawsuit I don’t see it actually happening.

    My niece (who had just turned 13) was showing us the recent update changes she was looking at with Roblox and the chat features. If I understood what she was showing me it appeared to be asking her for her phone number to be able to access the chat features within Roblox.

    Why would Roblox need the phone number of a 13 year old kid?

    We looked at it a few minutes then showed it to her mom and dad who noped right out of that.

  • PS5 controller use with Steamdeck

    Hello all - new Steamdeck owner here. I also own a PS5 and had been wanting to stream to my deck.

    I learned about Chiaki4deck and did the install this weekend and was up and running playing games within a few minutes. However, I am still having a few issues getting the Touchpad on my PS5 controller to work right.

    The controller works fine with that one exception.

    I have a few games that really utilize the pad - is there something that can be done on the Deck side help with compatibility?

    Edit: just resolved the issue thanks to @PlasticExistence@lemmy.world: the firmware on the controller I was trying to use had not been updated. Once I did the issue resolved itself.

    Thanks all for the suggestions and help

    Diablo 4: Anyone playing?

    So I’m a huge Diablo fan. Played 1-3 religiously (no pun intended). I had intended on getting the fourth when it came out but a couple people told me they were a little unhappy with the initial release.

    I remember the same thing happened with D3 when it was released but after a few patches it really turned into a great game IMO.

    I was just wondering how the current play was on the PS5? What’s everyone’s take on it currently?

    Mortal Kombat 1: version 1.002.002 patch error?

    I recently got the new MK1 title (digital) and just finished the main story. A couple days ago (I think) this patch came out and I have been trying apply it - or my system has tried downloading it and it cannot. Rather it keeps giving me an error that it cannot install and says ‘Something went wrong’ with the error code of CE-100095-5.

    I looked up the error online and found the results of that code was:

    > There was an issue when starting the application. > Highlight the application, press the options button, and select Delete. Reinstall the application. > Keep the console powered on while the installation is running.

    So does this mean I need to delete the whole MK1 game and reinstall??? It seems like it took me forever to download it the first time. Just wanting to get some input if that is the case.

    Question about buying characters

    Hey guys. Am brand new to this game so forgive me upfront if this is an obvious answer.

    I wanted to buy some characters or skins (not sure which they are preferred to be called) but wanted to make sure of something. If you buy a character or a killer: do the other players or your friends have to have that same character to play together?

    Question about Playstation Plus deals

    Hello all. I got some cash from family while visiting for the holidays and was thinking about getting one of the PS Plus plans but wanted to ask some advice here.

    They say they are all currently on sale but I know everything seems to always be perpetually on sale at the PS store so I wanted to check and see if right now was the best time to buy or wait?

    Also, is it really worth the difference between the Extra and the Premium?

    Thanks in advance.

    Aliens: Fireteam Elite (singleplayer question)

    Hey guys - my wife bought me this knowing I was a fan of the Alien films. However, I don’t have PlayStation plus. Is there any single player function in this at all or it is solely multiplayer online?

    Project Wingman Frontline 59

    I promised CosmicSploogeDrizzle I would add a little more info about this game tonight. Apologies in advance, I don't do reviews so if this sucks, well it's my first.

    I got this thinking it was going to be a full on VR game - it sorta said that in the title, well it isn't (buyer beware there).

    The game looks to have three modes, Campaign Mode, Frontline-59 Campaign mode, and Conquest Mode (see the title pic).

    Each of the three don't appear to require you play the other; however, the game does seem to have a credit system (for us new to the series). I didn't play the previous version but I believe I read that you would earn credits and prestige which in turn would be used toward earning you new planes/upgrades.

    In the first Campaign Mode you start with a couple plane options along with a few load outs. You are given specific missions, etc.

    Downside of this - is the mode is not in VR. It is completely in flat screen from the load out thru the campaign. You fly, change views, etc all on a flat screen. Switching views is done by using the controller. Here is a short clip, apologies in advance if it is jerky.

    Campaign mode short video clip here

    The Frontline 59 Campaign is quite a bit different. It fully uses the PSVR2 capabilities. You pick your plane, go through the load out and then hit the missions. From my understanding though there are only 6 of these 'set' missions. Am not sure what the free fly option is yet since it was locked but would assume it just lets you explore the area in VR once you progress past a certain point. While it was sorta cool to use VR to look around while in the plane, it was a little disappointing as to how the graphics looked. The ground (trees, scenery, etc) just seemed to pop into existence at a set distance and was very ragged and pixelated. So were clouds and smoke trails. You guys can decide for yourself, here is a short clip:

    Frontline 59 Video clip here

    The third mode is Conquest mode which I haven't messed with aside from checking out the missions so I am not going to comment a whole lot on this one. It is played the same as the first mode.

    You are given a map of the territories and missions to try but I get the impression this is the challenge mode of the three.

    PSVR2 earbuds not staying in

    I got my PSVR2 and love it so far but the earbuds that come with it will not stay in my ears. No matter what adjustments I make to them they fall out within a few minutes of play.

    Am looking for some advice as to what you guys are doing or if you have found some sort of ear hook to help hold them in place better.

    I know for my AirPods, when I am running or exercising I have these things I put on them that do an awesome job. I can do a backflip and they won’t come off:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09HQ2P7M2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    Only issue is that the earbuds with the PSVR2 are wired, which creates an issue with getting them on. I had searched through Amazon and I cannot seem to find anything that will work that is similar due to the cord/wire getting in the way.

    Anyone got any suggestions or has anyone had this same issue and found a workaround?

    Grow Light Question

    Greetings all. I hope this is the appropriate place to post this if not please let me know.

    Me and the Mrs. Have a few plants that we are wanting to move indoors this fall that we’re needing more than the usual window light.

    We had tried sprouting a few avocados to see what would happen and now have three small trees in pots out near our garden that are growing pretty well. Our porch is not enclosed so the next thought was our garage (it can get too cold outside where we are at).

    We were looking at some lighting recommendations. Amazon seems to have almost too much and I was not sure what would be best for the trees when it came to color, etc. I didn’t know if they had to have A LOT of light (I have seen some people say 5 hrs some say 12) and if it mattered as to the type or style of the grow lights.

    PSVR2 lens cleaning question (?)

    Just got a new PSVR2 yesterday and am loving it! However as luck would have it, first time putting it on I smeared my greasy forehead across the lenses (nice!!)

    So I looked up about cleaning and first thing I see is not to use the usual glass cleaners. The PlayStation site says to just use your typical lens cloth only but that is only going to smear the grease. As a person who wears glasses I have plenty of experience with that daily.

    So what experience does everyone else out there have with this and what do you guys use? I know with my LCD TVs I have found a mixture of vinegar and water and a microfiber cloth works to remove greasy finger prints but didn’t know if that was safe for the lenses.

    Install/add on issues with DMC5

    Posted this earlier in PlayStation but am trying here as well:

    Hey guys - I know this is a slightly older game but wanted to see if anyone had ran into this in the past (or present).

    I recently got a PS5 and my wife got me a few games for my birthday. DMC5 was one of them. I went to install it and it would not go past 99% no matter how long it was left (eg hours). Even after deleting several times, rebooting, etc.

    After some googling I ran across an article posted elsewhere on the web that discussed a similar problem with other games that solved the issue with disconnecting from the internet then doing the install, then reconnecting. I tried that and the install worked. It seemed to then check about an update, did it and I went about playing. I played for several levels as Nero and checked online - saw there were multiple add ons (red and blue orbs I believe for a buck or so) and went ahead and grabbed them. It added them to my account when I logged back in. So far so good.

    I tried later to add more red orbs - it would let me buy them on the PlayStation store but when I log in it is not adding them to the account (I can see them in the transaction history on my PS5) but no matter what I do they do not add. Other weird thing - I cannot seem to access the store via the game for some reason. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it - again - and still nothing. I had to do the internet disconnect as well this time to get it installed.

    Anyone else had this problem with the game or any add ons? This is the disc version just to clarify. The first add ons worked fine for whatever reason.

    PS VR 2 Looking to buy

    Hello all - so I have been looking at the VR headset and have a couple questions.

    First one is my main concern. I wear glasses, mainly for distance vision. However, here recently I have found I had to get my prescription tweaked to include bifocals for reading (aging sucks). That being said - can you wear glasses with the VR unit and does it matter if you are nearsighted/farsighted or how does that work?

    Second question - I know there are games made primarily for VR but will any game work with it? Obviously I cannot imagine playing something like Diablo but am thinking maybe Doom or Genshin Impact?

    Other options to learn?

    Hello all. Just wondering if anyone has come across or might be using any other resources? I am a regular Duolingo Spanish user but didn’t know if there might be anything else people use or watch.

    News was one thing I had heard at one time a long time ago someone told me that they had watched - something that was dual broadcast (?) but I cannot seem to locate it now.

    3d scanners - anyone got one?

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them, got one, etc.

    I had been eyeing the Revopoint brand but keep hesitating on buying. I don’t know anyone that has one and really would like to get more feedback. The Amazon reviews seem decent enough.

    I am looking for something that can scan objects about hand size or larger and that I can walk around the object scanning. I don’t want to be limited to sticking the object on a scanning mat or turntable. I’m not going to be scanning minis (eg Warhammer). I do use the iOS and OSX platforms.

    Mod tools question

    Good day all. Am a fairly new user and was wondering if there is one of the mobile apps that has mod tools added to it yet? Thanks in advance.
