QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldOPMto Star Citizen@lemmy.world•New Referral Program is LiveEnglish3·24 hours agoWell, we are getting some corpo paints for the upcoming cargo event missions.
But it’s for the Hurston Dynamics/MicroTech/ArcCorp/Crusader stuff.
Earning a skin by working for Big Benny’s/Whammers, etc. would have been awesome.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldOPMto Star Citizen@lemmy.world•New Referral Program is LiveEnglish3·1 day agoAnother awesome update to the system:
What if my friend forgot to use my referral code when creating their account?
We’ve added a 24-hour grace period after account creation—if they forget, they’ll now have a full day to add your code retroactively.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•Google Pixel 7 gets sales ban in Japan, Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 also face sales banEnglish43·7 days agoConsidering other patent laws in Japan, I definitely agree with you.
Especially when companies like Nintendo are somehow able to patent video game mechanics for something as ridiculous as riding on a flying creature.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Judge backs AI firm over use of copyrighted booksEnglish692·8 days agoTo anyone who is reading this comment without reading through the article. This ruling doesn’t mean that it’s okay to pirate for building a model. Anthropic will still need to go through trial for that:
But he rejected Anthropic’s request to dismiss the case, ruling the firm would have to stand trial over its use of pirated copies to build its library of material.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube’s new anti-adblock measuresEnglish7·13 days agoFrom the Grayjay FAQ:
Does Grayjay require a subscription?
No, We offer a way to pay for the app once. The app will function identically without paying.
Yeah that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Sony PlayStation finally gets rid of PC game region locks after an entire year — but some still remainEnglish121·19 days agoOut of the 133 countries where Helldivers 2 was previously locked out of, now there are only 7:
1. Belarus
2. Cuba
3. Iran
4. North Korea
5. Russian Federation
6. Syria
7. Viet Namhttps://steamdb.info/sub/906471/
Update: now there are 8… Japan was added to the list: https://steamdb.info/sub/137730/info/
However it looks like Japan has its own individual game package so players aren’t actually locked out over there.
Edit: formatting
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court revives lawsuit from Atlanta family whose home was wrongly raided by the FBIEnglish6·21 days agoAnnouncement from the Institute for Justice, which took up this case:

https://ij.org/case/martin-v-united-states/Body camera footage is also included lower on the page under the “Video” section.
Definitely a great nonprofit firm that does a lot of good work bringing cases before the Supreme Court. Especially for those that can’t afford to do so.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldMto Star Citizen@lemmy.world•I can hear the screams of joy on Spectrum now...English1·21 days agoDid I miss an announcement somewhere? Are they actually getting rid of NAV mode?
Last I heard they were making a few changes to it, but not in the way of removing it.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldOPMto Star Citizen@lemmy.world•Behind the Ships: Esperia Prowler UtilityEnglish1·21 days agoYeah, they showed off a video in the past where they want us to be able to attach vehicles and pretty much any item to ship cargo grids as well. It’s only partially implemented for now.
But even when they get that fully working, it looks like you would only be able to fit some hoverbikes on this ship.
I would assume that looted ship weapons should attach as long as they’re small enough. That does seem to work for most weapons on most cargo ship grids right now.
Has it been? I just got the email from Steam a few hours ago that it’s Live now. They must be really late to notify everyone in that case.
Looking through the community it looks like they had originally planned to release the demo today, but ended up releasing it early on June 5th, and the game will only be available to play until the 16th.
Edit: typo
That’s the one, looks like they switched names about a year ago?
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Videos@lemmy.world•Anyway to download just the song of this video? I want to put it to a ringtone but do not know how?English1·27 days agoGrayJay if you’re on Android. Go to download, then select None for Video, and choose the audio quality at the bottom that you want.
There’s a desktop application for GrayJay as well that should also support downloading it.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last JulyEnglish2·28 days agoI really hope that this lawsuit helps to invalidate any sort of terms of service which uses this language and forces you to agree to their terms simply by loading up their site for the first time.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•Orgnanic Maps fork CoMaps Android preview release is outEnglish51·1 month agoHere’s an open letter to the Organic Maps Shareholders with the most info:
https://www.comaps.app/news/2025-04-16/1/Which is referenced in the article here:
https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/And discussed on the OpenSource community here:
https://lemmy.world/post/30461779Basically some drama went down between the devs.
- Organic Maps has remained an LLC instead of transitioning to a Nonprofit.
- The projects finances have not been made public (they’re not required as an LLC) and there are concerns about how that money is being used.
- There was a decision made to include Kayak affiliate links in the app: https://web.archive.org/web/20250602163403/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/6523
- The current board only consists of 3 people: Roman (@rtsisyk), Viktor (@vng), and Alexander (@biodranik). Major decisions can’t be made if only 1 person objects.
- The code for their map download service was closed sourced when an MIT license was removed and there were concerns about Organic Maps keeping in line with its open source values: https://web.archive.org/web/20250523094656/https://github.com/orgs/organicmaps/discussions/9837#discussioncomment-11569196
- When these concerns were raised, Alexander (@biodranik) revoked Roman’s (@rtsisyk) access https://web.archive.org/web/20250427142515/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/9860
- The situation was resolved about a week later with the code for the map download service becoming public and With Roman’s access being restored.
Edit: ‘to’ the shareholders, not from
- Organic Maps has remained an LLC instead of transitioning to a Nonprofit.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Helldivers 2@lemmy.ca•Per Arrowhead, Helldivers 2 had over 3 million unique players during the Heart of Democracy eventEnglish18·1 month agoI definitely played into this metric. I hadn’t played for a while, but when I heard Super Earth was under attack, I knew that I had to protect managed democracy.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there a way to encrypt or password-protect part of a video?English3·1 month agoYou could use Ruffle since its an emulator for Flash:

https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle
Websites like HomestarRunner use this so you can still experience the site as it was intended.
QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'English53·1 month agoI mean, it really depends on how you define scam. If you’re so loose with the definition that you would have considered No Man’s Sky a “scam” when it first released, then I can understand that.
Otherwise it’s not really a scam. There’s a free trial going on right now in Star Citizen.You’re free to check out the game for yourself. It’s in a really good state compared to what we’ve previously seen (not even close to bug free, but way more playable than before).
