I read Feddit.nu rules and couldn’t understand a word but we have credible intel that it’s just a cover for developing weapons of mass surströmming.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.zip•Welcome to the new world of risk: Microsoft cuts off services to energy company without noticeEnglish71·22 days agoNayara Energy Limited is an entity established in India and operating an important refinery in Vadinar. That refinery is 49% owned by the Russian State oil company Rosneft, and is a major refiner of Russian crude oil. The energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing substantial revenue to the Russian Government.
Therefore, Nayara Energy is involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
Microsoft doing the right thing here. If you don’t want to worry about consequences of sanctions don’t use services from companies subject to jurisdiction of countries that sanction you.

misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish31·26 days agoSaudi Arabia has plenty of soft and hard power too. Possibly more so than UK. I think we’re getting overly dramatic. UK doesn’t have enough pull to start extraditing thousands of people for not complying with their weirdo laws.

That YouTuber seems to be a grifter, collecting money for his defense while also making money off a Telegram shop. He knew he could make things up and people (and „journalists”!) would fall for it because Nintendo bad.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish25·26 days agoHow would that even work in another country? Wouldn’t Saudi Arabia pressure hosts for breaking blasphemy laws?
misk@sopuli.xyzto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish123·26 days agoI’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Here's why that embattled retro gaming YouTuber might not be so innocentEnglish151·26 days agoHe was selling them outright via Facebook / Telegram. I’ll speculate a little bit - it’s likely it wasn’t taxed which is why he was singled out.
I found capsules to be an absolute pain to load on the account of shaky hands. If you’re using capsules on a stem loaded vaporiser you have to try it with MAD Heaters Reload or one if it’s many recent clones (like 420vape Stash Tube in Europe or Sneaky Pete Travel Storage Debowler in US). This way you can load the stem directly by pushing and twisting into weed stored in one of two containers (middle/bottom). Once you’re done vaping you drop AVB into top container that has a debowler inside. It’s a game changer even if you don’t use it with butane vape.
I keep up to date but avoid images because at this point it’s just outrage porn driven by social media algorithms. I’m increasingly convinced homo sapiens are going to cause another mega extinction event within our lifetime. There’s so much suffering and atrocities all over the world currently that it’s hard not to detach from just one more horrific event because it’s not going to matter in the end.
It’s way too easy to vape lots of weed with TM2. You can pop in as much weed as you want into the stem / WPA adapter like t_bowl (since they’re adjustable) and extract everything in one go. It makes things extremely efficient but if you’re able to vape 0.5g at once it gets a bit too tempting sometimes.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 is the top selling new PS5 game of 2025English3·29 days agoI think it’s not that surprising that an arcade racer doesn’t support niche sim wheels. They do support plenty of popular brands though.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Ori studio's focus on PS5 over Xbox for next game isn't a "shakedown" but "common f*cking sense", says CEOEnglish41·29 days agoThis thing goes into my living room and PS5 looks are just offensive to me. I waited to see if Sony would come to their senses with Slim or Pro but I guess Sony is back to being Sony when they don’t have to try. I despise monopolies so I go with the underdog when I can.
Both platforms run all modern games and there’s very little exclusives on both. Performance wise they’re the same and automatic VRR on everything is awesome. XSX was significantly cheaper at the time too and that’s before taking into account how much value GamePass provides. If Microsoft wasn’t exiting the market I’d say it’s a better choice today too.

At this point I’m wondering why they haven’t sold it to Oracle or Tencent just to get more coal for their AI money pits.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Ori studio's focus on PS5 over Xbox for next game isn't a "shakedown" but "common f*cking sense", says CEOEnglish15·1 month agoIt’s the budget pick. Series S sells multiples of Series X and GamePass is cheap. We live in the age of overabundance of all kinds of media so there’s is crapload of games, and exclusive situation doesn’t look that bad compared to PS5, mostly because PS5 is bad too. I went with XSX because of the looks but that was before Microsoft went insane.
It was a bit of a letdown.
