I’ll tell you that even at 4 I see differences in my son’s behavior if he watches Turtles or if he watches something like Puffin Rock.

I get Kenya even if I am in an private window and not logged in.

Bluetooth headphones are solid now, as long as you have something that supports aptx HD and LL (HD for music, LL for movies/games). But yeah they’re not cheap.
- Comment on Microsoft now has implemented "compare with Bing chat" button when you visit Google Bard in Edge 1 year ago:
It happens on Edge but not Firefox I believe. My work laptop defaults to Edge (and we use all Microsoft Web services so I haven’t cared to switch the default) and Google services prompt to try Chrome there.
- Comment on Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year 1 year ago:
I do find it funny when people talk about how few extensions are supported, when it has the best extension support of any mobile browser.

I would happily keep slaving my phone to my car to avoid paying for extra services.

Not on Reddit or YouTube or anything else that serves ads from the same domain.

Windbound could be another fun one.
- Comment on Don't Make Me Tap The Sign 1 year ago:
Yeah, that was my point.
- Comment on Cadillac reveals the 2025 Escalade IQ - Electric version of the Escalade 1 year ago:
Sure, but if we want the typical consumer to choose an EV over an ICE then it would need to be cheaper.
- Comment on Don't Make Me Tap The Sign 1 year ago:
This isn’t Reddit, there’s no account-wide tracking of special Internet points to worry about.
- Comment on Cadillac reveals the 2025 Escalade IQ - Electric version of the Escalade 1 year ago:
Eh, that’s a bit disingenuous in terms of consumer cost though. Where I live, gas is $3.90 per gallon and electricity is $0.19 per kWh. That puts gas at $0.11 per kWh. That still puts the Escalade IQ at 58mpg, but it’s getting awfully close to some (admittedly much smaller) hybrids. And that’s not to mention that that’s the price for home charging - public charging is closer to $0.40 per kWh. That still puts it around half the cost per mile of a gas Escalade.
With a starting price of $50k more than the gas model you’re talking 300,000 miles to break even (assuming 100% home charging).
- Comment on Cadillac reveals the 2025 Escalade IQ - Electric version of the Escalade 1 year ago:
Nah, not at all that high. A typical EV gets around 3-4 mi/kWh, which is about 4-6.5km.

Frunk. The drunk goes
behind the wheelin the passenger seat. - Comment on Cadillac reveals the 2025 Escalade IQ - Electric version of the Escalade 1 year ago:
A 200kWh battery pack to get 450 miles of quoted range. 2.25mi/kWh. I understand it’s competing for the attention of people who would otherwise buy a gas Escalade, but that’s still a little crazy.

And even then use nextdns as it’s more customizable.

Views that show you multiple communities would be great. Let me see both major Steam Deck communities in one view.
- Comment on When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, thean have a look at the Lemmy.world status 1 year ago:
It makes sense that general purpose instances would have the most users. I’m not a programmer so while I could still register there why would I pick programmer.dev?
The bigger issue I had in picking an instance was just in understanding the differences. I think it would help if instances advertised their stance on defederation, moderation, etc… to help people make a decision (or even to see that lemmy.world may be more similar to some other instances than they might think).
- Comment on Blue or red door? 1 year ago:
I’m sure I’ve made plenty of mistakes, but I’m happy enough with where my life is now. Red door it is.
