Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Are there any privacy friendly alternates to google translate?
1·7 days agoFull sentence translators? Only ones that come to mind are LibreTranslate, plus if you’d like to try, the instance from Mastodon.Uno’s group since the LibreTranslate dev team’s official instance requires an API key. Also maybe local LLMs if you trust they won’t go rogue and connect to open wifis like LG TVs do, or if you can ensure they won’t escape containment.
Furthermore, if you just need to translate individual words or some times smaller expressions, there’s disc-based translators and dictionaries though they usually require older systems, maybe Google Play ones (specially paid ones) if you keep them in an offline VM with Vanilla Android, QuickDic on F-Droid, etc. For CD and offline dictionaries, I collect them, so I can also comment on specific ones or on specific language combos.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Will the controls for Zelda Switch 2 remake be better than the N64?
2·13 days agoA bit of an exercise on futurology, but from what I skimmed on the promotional materials, this remake seems to be inspired in the recent open world Zelda games. If that’s the case indeed, I’d presume that the controls would work as well.

Games@lemmy.world•I'm sick of hearing and even reading about GTA 6
1·13 days agoBots and bot-like figures that post to communities I’ve been blocking, as well as domains that I find to not aggregate much and that are posted to communities. GTA6 noise coming to my feed then becomes minimal, and I’d suggest the same then.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Would really love to add my forum to the fediverse but I’m a bit skeptical about somethings
11·13 days agoIf you mean “how do I monetize to keep services afloat”, open donation channels, like Patreon, Ko-fi, direct donations like the American Zelle or the Brazilian Pix, referral links explicitly identified as such, etc., and be transparent about finances and that if someone likes the service, their support helps maintaining it.
There was a community on the defunct lemm.ee (RIP) for deer images, similar to how there are communities for foxes, raccoons and bats. Maybe worth making a new one?

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Is Linux on a laptop with an Intel Processor + an NVidia GPU still the absolute fucking nightmare it was 10 years ago?
2·15 days agoBeen using for some 2~3 years now a Nitro 5 laptop almost always set to the Nvidia GPU. Issues are very rare, and some times compatibility is actually better than with the other GPU, the Intel one. Also worth noting I use Linux Mint though, and been some years since I last tested systems based Arch (btw).

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Pay by smile: complete privacy erosion in Russia
14·16 days agoBank apps in Brazil demand face scans to validate installations for some years now, so while the path is different, result can easily be similar: your expenses are tied to your identity. No privacy and a track record if someone wants to do some fishing expeditions.
The current government here, which is being seen as a dictatorship more and more even by its previous allies, was also trying to push for Drex, a cryptocurrency they would control, while also trying to kill physical money. The Executive also did a rule that if you made more than a total sum of iirc 5000 reais in transactions in a month (very low amount tbh), you had to show all your finances of the year to the government agency tasked with gains and expenses taxes, killing another aspect of privacy and financial privacy.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•The Witcher 4 Won't Be Another Unreal Engine-Looking Game Promises CD Projekt RED
3·19 days agoUE games looks rubbery/plastic to me since at least the PS3, the point which I started paying attention. No matter how good a dev is, sadly I can’t hold hopes for such a promise.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Sony Claims Digital Game Ownership Is Impossible
11·19 days agoLicenses are far older than digital contents, and the PS Vita, which I wonder which is the company behind it, gave a concrete example that consoles can make backups, and that’s halfway there.
Furthermore, another platform, GOG, explicitly states in its service contract that users are allowed to keep the contents they get. Similarly, when the service was active, Humble Bundle’s Humble Trove explained right at the beginning of its page that games included in the selection were free to be kept once downloaded. Two examples of decently-sized for-profit companies allowing for digital ownership.
Sony’s defence to me sounds a lot like gaslighting.
