Sadly because it works, mobile gaming is bigger money-wise than PC and consoles combined, all because people are susceptible to short term dopamine hit your can buy any time, it’s a part of what we call enshittification, making the product less user friendly and make more money, shareholders are happy, your don’t have to
Hello! I’ve been searching for a reddit alternative, and yes, I’ve picked Lemmy and Raddle, but here’s the thing. My morbid curiosity is perked up, and a part of me wants to join the “free speech” alternatives, like Saidit, Poal, etc. What’s wrong with me that I want to join toxic places? I mean, yes I’ll find a...
Say something wrong about co**unism or any s country practicing it here and you’ll see how free speech works, that’s your only warning, you won’t get an official one, that’s not how moderation works here, no matter what their COC says
I used to use Spotify out of laziness, after a recent price hike I switched to local mp3 playback, I’m discovering music through radio, there’s always something playing at work, at home, in a car, trying to diversify stations I hear, sometimes social media pops a new song in my ear
Below are books I’ve read over the last year, with notes about on what I thought of them. I started this list just to remind me what the books were about and if I thought they were worth reading. As the year went on, my notes became a little more substantial. The list was for me, but I thought I’d share in case it’s useful...
I was sucked up big time by Project Hail Mary, the Children of Time series is nice too, currently reading the third book, had to stop reading Hyperion because Sol Weintraub’s story made me cry uncontrollably (as a father), A Canticle for Leibowitz is nice, highly recommend The Swarm by Frank Schatzing, seems kinda boring, but it was highly captivating read for me, highly accurate fact wise and the main premise is a very interesting idea
of course, i posted this as a joke (like “thanks Obama”), i really doubt his review had anything to do with the company going bankrupt, but seeing the downvotes i’ll really think twice before commenting
yeah, but it’s dialogue, when what you’re saying is met with disagreement you stop talking, though in many cases it’s misunderstanding, people not getting the joke or what I want to convey (not native English speaker here BTW), generally i find people here more ideology-driven and rarely getting the jokes, than on reddit, it was more loose back there (mandatory fuck spez obvs)
Another security feature added is the blocking of downloading files from URLs that are on lists of potentially dangerous content.
Yeah, I’m not sure blocking HTTP downloads by default is a good idea, I mean many offices probably have some internal legacy HTTP only sites that nobody dares to touch, that are perfectly safe being HTTP (if you have hackers inside your network a simple intranet site spoofing is your least problem), and disabling this security option might have a lot of wider repercussions
It’s not just about that, people will be disabling the feature that is potentially beneficial to their security, disabling http downloads from http sites is just an extension of blocking http downloads from https sites
People say reptiles are tastier than chicken, the thing is chicken is mass produced at an industrial level, most of the reptiles are wild caught, maybe we should compare them to wild chicken or game bird, instead of store bought chicken, also it would differ wildly depending on type of dinosaur, it was a very diverse group
Terminals are NOT computers. At least dumb terminals are not. Smart terminals do have logic circuit, but dumb terminals work mostly like televisions, except they have protocols (like when you send a SIGINT signal with CTRL+C, and you are a 80s academic working on his terminal at UC Berkeley, then your UNIX implementation —...
Imagine the sound it made in its days, all those FDD and HDDs, I remember when I got my first PC in 1999, I found the FDD was surprisingly loud, like a dot printer, then my first CD burner, it was as loud as a hair dryer on turbo, fast forward to a few years ago, when I changed my case fans to Arctic P12s and had to double-check if my PC is on because I couldn’t hear it, and now it’s even more quiet because my new PSU funny spin it’s fan in idle, unfortunately my GPU is loud AF when playing games, thinking about repasting it
i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.
Not really old internet but Google search results were actually good a few years ago, now it’s utter garbage, maybe because I’ve stopped using chrome and installed ad blocking and anti spying addons, same with Facebook, my feed just recently became filled with some weird cheesy simp oriented content with a hint of red pill
really doubt it, Sun’s surface is very turbulent mix of hot gasses, you’d need kinda flat surface to reflect anything readable, also Sun itself emits strong radio waves, guess those would interfere a lot with what you’d want to reflect
Instead of ‘splurging’ on a dumb tv bc they’re more expensive now thanks to the data sompanies sell off of smart tvs I was considering getting a smart tv and dumbing it down. Is the way to do this never connecting it to the internet? And is that the only way?
Yeah, but everywhere online people with rx6600 say it’s getting 70°C max, even with smaller coolers, gonna replace the terminal pads and paste later, hope the cooling isn’t compromised, like broken heatpipes or something
one question just to make sure, are you running it in performance or silent mode? there is a switch near the power plug, asking because there are conflicting comments/reviews/opinions online most saying it’s silent and maxing at 70°C while fans are relatively silent and some say the cooling is loud
I'm sorry, what? (programming.dev)
