So who does the capitolost vote for? The rich control the decisions. Like always. The ones who fund the parties. The ones who back the people in power.
If the people got who they backed we’d probably have Bernie or someone else who got grassroot funding.

Man these sensational titles for articles have been setting such a deceiving narrative. I feel like I’m in a veiled world since like 2015

Dude I can’t even run the website anymore. It lags, won’t click links, can’t even get into my settings. I thought I had malware but it was exclusive to every time I opened a reddit link.

I would have been fine with a new game+ story but the main story got completely revamped for the second playthrough. Not just a few unique dialogue options.

I’ve never liked voice activation but my wife might like that. Idk why Nvidia shield keeps coming up, it’s like the only mainstream streaming device that keeps popping up for people who like to stay away from streaming platforms.
- Comment on Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device 3 months ago:
That might be a solution. A little over powered compared to a Vero or odrioid. Are you planning to game on it?
- Comment on Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device 3 months ago:
What about the odrioid N2? Looked pretty promising in other forums.
- Comment on Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device 3 months ago:
I’m thinking of the odrioid N2 after doing a little bit of research. It’s the finding the TV that might be an issue as you’ve said. I don’t want those smart tv’s and their countless user agreements and BS ads. I don’t want ads so bad, I’ll burn my TV down if I see any.
- Comment on Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device 3 months ago:
Thanks for the information and pointing me in a direction I can work with.
- Comment on Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device 3 months ago:
Sounds like an easy solution if you have a TV and TV remote that can turn it on and off.
This seems like what I was thinking. A pi with software, and kodi seems the best so far.
- Comment on Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device 3 months ago:
Wow that looks like an amazing software. I think I saw this year’s ago when I was messing around with plex before plex became as big as it is. I guess the question is what hardware would I use? Would a raspberry pi have the necessary processing power to stream through wifi my pc content, or play it’s own content online?
I’m very ignorant when it comes to small devices like this, and I’ve never dabbled in anything besides windows, As much as I’d love to have the enthusiasm and knowledge of the Linux community here on lemmy.

All I want them to do is knock off the “are you still watching press continue” button. They have 2-5 minute shows for kids and that crap pauses and asks every 10 minutes. Kids have to get someone to unpause it.
- Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News 4 months ago:
He’s directing it to a forum of people under a topic regarding phones not being optimized to charge past 80%. Quite a fair frustration I’d say, since most people charge their phones while sleeping. The technology should stop charging automatically

- Comment on ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times 4 months ago:
There are many different types of electrical workers. I’m a commercial inside wireman. I’m licensed to install electrical infrastructure and maintain electrical infrastructure in commercial and industrial complexes. I have a wide range of work I can do, but to put it simply I only have a job if: Complexes are being built (I’m doing construction) Complexes are being used (this is mostly industrial since commercial spaces have building engineers that mostly took over our maintaince work).
People working from home eliminate both my outlets of work. Residential electricians make significantly less than I do, and their work is pretty similar but dedicated to homes. But even their work would be cut because if we’re talking office employees making an office at home, there’s not much if anything required of any electrician for someone to set up a computer and a desk in their home. The grid will be using much less power due to drop in facilities.
But it’s not just my job as an electrician. It’s construction in the city as a whole and even the city economy. Because outside of the residential district in cities, people working from home in the suburbs aren’t utilizing the city infrastructure and commercial goods.
Fremont in Seattle has a large presence with many employees. The tech here tries to stay very competitive so Google was providing their employees with beautiful breakfast and lunch amenities. This created such a blow to Fremonts local restaurants that Seattle had to implement a special tax for serving food in your complex. Basically food cannot be free.
This is but one industry being impacted with employees no longer having a presence in the city high rises they’re employed at. Construction slowing or being fully eliminated will remove our presence in the city, majority of tradesmen. Tech will invest less because employees will take care of their own facilities by working from home. Now the economy takes a hit, we don’t have work in the city, restaurants don’t have customers, and the jobs of the office workers are suddenly finding themselves not needed as much either. Now residential high rises in the city are being vacated. The towers are losing employees and residents. The city stagnants. Economy crashes.
Of course this is pretty dramatic, and very generalized. But people working from home effects A LOT including a few steps down, their own careers.
- Comment on ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times 4 months ago:
I’m a union commercial electrician where I spent a decade building and improving tenant spaces in commercial towers in Seattle and Bellevue. There’s a huge dip in our work now that there aren’t high rises being occupied. I’d like people to work from home, but my blue collar job can’t be done from home. If we can change what these buildings are used for I wouldn’t be worried.
Google here in Fremont area on the other hand is expanding their space by occupying a larger foot print with a smaller work force per square foot. That’s a good way to keep us working.
- Comment on TikTok sounds go silent as songs disappear from app 4 months ago:
I watch a tiktok maybe once a day. The algorithm is mostly cooking and science for me. It’s highly enjoyable content if you get past the noise and obviously don’t overuse it. That can be said for any social media app, including lemmy.

You should look into Holodomir
- Comment on Starfield will get city maps and "new ways of traveling" next year 6 months ago:
Sure. Modders will do what they do. If all you paid for was the platform then fine. Bethesda knows who they cater to. I put over 1000 hours into skyrim over the years in some of the best fun I’ve had due to mods and content. I didn’t subscribe to Bethesda monthly plan. I bought skyrim once. No other game had that platform for a modding community. If Bethesda didn’t embrace the modding community that would be the end of them.
And yeah no excuse for selling an out of box poorly made game, but I’m optimistic that I’ll enjoy the hell out of this game once creation engine is out. I’ve already put 250 hours into it without the mods. 6/10 experience.
- Comment on Starfield will get city maps and "new ways of traveling" next year 6 months ago:
But they aren’t empty… All of them have points of interest and they’re all chosen from the same lot of 40 or so. Even the planet that was supposed to be abandoned because the terrormorphs took over, if you go outside the one (small) “city” all of a sudden there’s a pirate space yard fully functioning and inhabited by pirates. And the POI is as big as the supposed iced over city

I have AMD… Maybe I should dabble in Linux. Lemmy is challenging a lot of my software beliefs. Especially now my opinion on Google. I need to get off it and use Firefox but I’m just so integrated with Google.
- Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline 7 months ago:
Well I was playing starfield when considering dabbling in running Linux and I got shy reading how to run it on Linux, let alone any of my other games.
- Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline 7 months ago:
Yeah but I use my pc to play games. And to read all the Linux coping strategies to run modern games with software bypasses or strategies… I don’t need to jailbreak and run through 150 pages of forums and guides so I can play my steam games.
