- Comment on DuckStation Creator Considers Shutting Down Emulator Amid License Change 2 months ago:
Wasn’t he the same developer that decided to abandon AetherSX2 and released an update that nerfed the app?
- Comment on Hey Reddit lurkers! my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is on Android now 3 months ago:
I do have two questions here to be honest,
- Why post on lemmy when you can post it on Reddit? Increased visibility?
- Why use this instead of RedReader?
- Comment on YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete 3 months ago:
Thats not how it works. If a server is streaming ads to you then it shouldnt be a problem detecting that and blocking out that server.
What Google is doing is baking in the ad into the video so that the video itself has the ad embedded into it. This way you cant block a certain server from serving ads. And if those ads baked in have different duration for each user, then SponsorBlock stop behaving properly as it uses timestamps to skip segments.
- Comment on YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete 3 months ago:
The issue is that Sponsorblock uses timestamps of videos to skip segments. If the ads injected all have different durations, then SponsorBlock is now obsolete.
- Comment on Unofficial Reddit API 4 months ago:
It’s a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?
I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can’t shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.
Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).
It’s a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.

- Comment on flashing ROM, is it that easy? 6 months ago:
If you are going to spend this much money on a phone to flash, get yourself a pixel and add graphene to it.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.
- Comment on Final Fantasy IX – 2000 Developer Interviews - shmuplations.com 6 months ago:
Top game. Great article too.
Played this game far too many times. And still don’t mind playing it again.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 6 months ago:
Honestly, once a Microsoft is goes end of life, it becomes a great offline machine to run older software and games.
Guaranteed not to be pissed around with Microsoft updates.
- Comment on Smothsinian 6 months ago:
That’s actually a compact disc compared to the previous laser disc. Image
- Comment on Indeed Adds Generative AI to Help People Write Better Resumes 7 months ago:
This would only make resumes fill up with AI gibberish.
HR would now learn to avoid large blocks of text.
- Comment on If hot air rises, why is it colder at the top of a mountain? 7 months ago:
While it’s true that hot air rises, causing lower temperatures at higher altitudes, the reason it’s colder on top of mountains is due to the decrease in air pressure with altitude. As air pressure decreases, so does the temperature, leading to colder conditions at higher elevations. Additionally, factors such as exposure to winds and proximity to polar regions can further contribute to colder temperatures on mountain peaks.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 7 months ago:
Lemmy lives to rip reddit to pieces and share any bad news about them.
I didn’t leave an ex to keep being reminded a out her. Just move on and share anything new.
- Comment on My change to the Fediversa 8 months ago:
I don’t usually use social media apps at all. But lemmy to me reminds of old school forums. A few people interested in a subject keep that section of the forum alive.
- Comment on "Best" Mac browser: Your view 8 months ago:
At what point do you use tab auto refresh?
I am genuinely curious.
- Comment on How does this math work? 8 months ago:
This calculation is a bit wrong.
Lets say for example you keep spending 5 after your first payment, then your totals at the bottom would be wrong and would look like this.
The correct way to do this is to accumulate the expenditure as your balance goes down, so that total for both spend and balance equals 50.
I hope this makes sense.
- Comment on My Sega Saturn still doesn't read memory cartridges. 8 months ago:
Have you tried cleaning the memory card and port with isopropyl alcohol?
- Comment on Contacts backup? 8 months ago:
I don’t know which phone you have but you can simply export your contacts to a vcf file.
That files can then be imported elsewhere. You can also open it with a text editor and print it out. It should still human readable.
- Comment on ‘It is shameful’: why the return of Victorian-era diseases to the UK alarms health experts 8 months ago:
NHS is fucked up.
Good doctors are leaving.
Shit doctors are coming in.
NHS gets more fucked up.
We get spit roasted.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
What I don’t understand is that they had the option of providing a free service to all third party apps provided there was no commercial use.
They could have easily asked for a cut from any AI company using their data for training.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
Welcome to lemmy.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
Yeah. There was this guy who deleted his account but Reddit restored it. Apparently he was going to take them to court based on some GDPR article.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
I honestly think that has been happening with all these publications websites.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
Deleting doesn’t actually delete it all. I remember a Reddit user once filed a GDPR for restoring his information after he deleted them.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
In all honesty, when I joined Reddit right after digg went to shit. It was amazing. Reddit was great, 3rd party apps were welcome, their interface was straightforward, and they had none of those NFT gold shit.
It just went downhill.
