• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit’s getting more popular—and profitable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it’s the constant suggestions of other communities and posts on my feed of joined subs.

  Next thing I knew my feed was slowly filling up with rage bait, which I never had a problem with a third party app, and I’d close the app angrier and outraged than when I started.

  It’s nicer here, lol.

  What? I booted my Linux machine sometime last year and my Mac gets rebooted for updates.

  Not all of us use Windows, my friend.

  God dammit Todd…

  The Wizard Tower was so cool too…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can understand the intent behind this, but I wonder if it will actually prevent kids bypassing these restrictions. Much less, in my own country minors that shouldn’t be on platforms have public accounts.

  Without proper enforcement of such restrictions and/or actual technical solutions to enforce this on the user’s end, this is just feel-good signaling.

  And more over the electorate is calcified along party lines where the outcomes for either side is perceived as being stark and dire. I suspect this means concerns like these might get stifled even if it is held by both parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be the dream :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is making me sad. 3d printing is so open atm, but I wouldn’t be surprised if enshittification will take place in this space in my lifetime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Programming Horror Game⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey man, I work on a Microsoft full stack — VS corrupts files or locks up regularly 🤷That’s before we touch Windows on a server box

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s a pain, but what’s to stop us from using download-clis? In theory I could “collect” the urls that are recommended to me from my home page, call the clis, click all the videos to update my recommendations then close the browser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weird 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbf, I did have a Lemmy user passionately argue Joe Rogan has never had a white supremacist on his show – I pointed at Alex Jones and my notif bubble was red for a few days there 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I worry about the telemetry and customizing my OS to exactly the way I want.

  Things like swapping Ctrl and Alt without needing to spring extreme protocols or run software that is a security risk. It’s just a couple of toggles on Linux.

  But it’s a “to each their own” kinda stuff 😅 After work I can’t look at Windows anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weird 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not 100% off Reddit, I still venture over there for my WarHammer faction updates. But holy shit, I dipped my toe outside that circle recently and it’s a cesspool of anger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s your thoughts on Orion? It’s weirdly niche, but has been killer for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carmakers are failing the privacy test. Owners have little to no control of the data they hand over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy god. I’m not letting go of my '09 carolla and ebike. What the fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s interesting you claim “they certainly haven’t had a user noticeable change for the last six years”, and then cite a feature addition “on android” which was implemented on the iPhone 13.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The most popular Chinese keyboard app which is used by more than 450 million monthly users sends every key typed to Tencent in China.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus it also has the feature where you can drag on the space bar to move the letterhead!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you own a Pixel you could always use GrapheneOS! It’s been wonderful on mine!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to connect an iPad to a Nintendo Switch for a bigger screen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat. What would the use case for this be though? Maybe while riding on a plane?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars — For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, wit...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I worked as a locksmith for a decade there that reproduced immobilizer keys that were ‘dealer only.’ My tool allow me do all sorts of wild shit that was outside my field of interest – but resetting/setting the door panels on Fords was super nifty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The studios thought they could handle a strike. They might end up sparking a revolution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was mistaken. They just so happen to also be striking here soon.

  “But I have nothing to hide” /s

  Aren’t the teemsters about to do their solidarity thing here soon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I thought about doing it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I know Voyager does. Sometimes it’s off tho.
