Yes, but for a business perspective, profit gears need to be turned in one way or another. Since Amazon wants Twitch the platform itself to be profitable, the rates need to be adjusted like that to make even. Kick is pretty much part of the advertisement budget for Stake, and for big online casinos that, losing out Kick’s profit isn’t really a problem, as long as it drives people to them.

Kick is owned by a gambling company; and they pretty much allow anything gambling related. They use the platform as a promotion method for their sites, so they attract streamers by giving rates Twitch can’t even come close to.
CaptainBasculin@lemmy.mltoGeneral Programming Discussion@lemmy.ml•Anyone have any ideas for a short python program they would like to have made for them?2·6 days agoYou can build an RSS scraper that posts news from multiple sources to Lemmy. RSS is very well documented and you can use pythorhead to interact with Lemmy.
Alternately, you can scrape data from a currency exchange site and live display their data on your GUI. Trying to scrape sites teaches you a lot of things about how to approach it. You can make use of beautifulsoup library to sort out from the whole site.

CaptainBasculin@lemmy.mlto Gaming@beehaw.org•Splitgate 2 Director Refuses to Apologize for ‘Make FPS Great Again Hat’, Then Apologizes Anyway - IGN334·8 days agoNah fuck the political implications, the message is %100 correct. The current FPS games don’t give the same enjoyment as I used to get from the old MW3/CS:Source era, and I really enjoyed Splitgate 2 and truly think it can change up a lot of things in the FPS space.
Not gonna lie, using a different wavelength feels like cheating when it comes to obtaining a color.
CaptainBasculin@lemmy.mlto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Of course you had to have a binder to store them7·13 days agoChecked my binder and it’s all mp3s (some go as low quality as 128kbps), too bad I exclusively collect FLACs nowadays. At least it justified me pirating the same albums for FLACs.
CaptainBasculin@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a limit on presidential pardons in the US?101·22 days agoIf we assume a presidential pardon takes 3 seconds with the words “I pardon you” given by the president himself, assuming they need to sleep 8 hours a day and will only stay one term (four years), the limit that a president can pardon is 28,050,624 times. The president can pardon multiple people at once to bypass this limitation, but a president that considers this as a limitation of their powers will likely never get elected.
However if we move the idea towards its strength, it doesn’t extend to violation of state laws. I have no idea how US law works, but I’m certain assasinating the president violates states law, so no.

CaptainBasculin@lemmy.mlto Gaming@beehaw.org•Splitgate 2 finally playable on regular desktop Linux PC (May 26, 2025 Update)3·23 days agoI liked it.
If you’re used to splitgate 1 binds, would heavily reccomend to adjust controls to set left and right portal binds instead of being forced to use one button. Other than that, I really liked it. The powerup idea seems broken when you first see it, but all of them feel counterable with portal play.

CaptainBasculin@lemmy.mlto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Splitgate 2 - Beta only playable on Steam Deck but not desktop Linux?10·25 days agoThere is a weird treatment done by some anti cheats where they allow SteamOS but not other Linux distros. Most prominent of those I know is ACE.
Also back when I tested it, no Proton version did the trick. Recent protondb reports suggest the same.
If we consider a game as a cake, I think of the graphics as its frostings. Sure, it could make the game look very good, but won’t do shit if the base of the cake is crap.

Using the same username is not proof they’re the same person online.
Watch Dogs 1. It was quite fun for me, but quite a lot of people expected it to create a spark like GTA 5 back in the day, so when it didn’t; they all criticized it to hell.
