- Comment on A Jury Will Decide If Google's App Store Is an Unjust Monopoly 1 year ago:
It’s not an android post without someone trying to make it about Apple instead.
- Comment on RPGs for people who don't like RPGs 1 year ago:
Keep going with the Trails series by order of release. The story gets pretty crazy. The crossbell arc that just released on switch is pretty good.
Maybe take a look at Tales of Arise as well. It might be a mixed bag for you, but I found myself easily engrossed by it.

Hey as long as that’s the narrative Google believes…

- Comment on Brave responds to Bing and ChatGPT with a new “anonymous and secure” AI chatbot 1 year ago:
I’m just using Safari with the Vinegar extension.
- Comment on Boston Dynamics turned its robot dog into a talking tour guide with ChatGPT 1 year ago:
Someday we’ll all be dead and robot dogs will be giving tours to nothing. Some alien species will come across our planet and learn all about us through the ways in which the robots interact with nobody.

Most important comment right here.

Well go enjoy that 12 year old Samsung TV, then, Mr Samsung user! Nobody said you shouldn’t.

I’m thankful I have the option to change it.

Do modern TVs even come in non-smart variants anymore?

- Comment on If Thanos had, instead of randomly wiping out 50% of all living things, he had instead in each species wiped out only the dumbest 50% what would the reaction of each avenger have been? 1 year ago:
They all would have been wiped out.
- Comment on Is Netflix's One Piece good? 1 year ago:
I don’t know about those other shows, but I think that’s a perfect approach for One Piece. It’s just silly kid fun from start to finish.
- Comment on Is Netflix's One Piece good? 1 year ago:
I don’t know anything about One Piece other than the fact it’s really long and super popular.
I heard the Netflix show was pleasing fans so I threw it on when my wife was around and we both ended up getting into it. We haven’t finished the whole season yet, but we will.
It reminds me of watching power rangers back in the 90s as a kid. The dialog is really elementary and clearly targets kids, but the character acting is endearing, and it’s fun to look up the original illustrations because the casting and costumes are so spot on.
I’m particularly fond of how each episode goes through some kind of story and character development, but always climaxes on some big fight scene, just like in the old power rangers shows. It’s like soul food for me.
- Comment on The iPhone 15 gets USB-C, a redesigned Cybertruck surfaces and California considers banning AV trucks | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
If you read most of those articles, though, this narrative is unfortunately not usually emphasized.
- Comment on The only ‘new’ feature that would excite me enough to buy an iPhone 15 is USB-C 1 year ago:
I really like that the pro models are allowing “special video” now. I’d want that, except by the time I can actually afford a “pro” iPhone, that feature might be built into the non-pro models.
- Comment on Apple Announces iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus With USB-C Port, Dynamic Island, Frosted Glass Design 1 year ago:
Why would anyone want to buy a USB C to lightning dongle at this point? They can just buy a cheap USB C cable now.
- Comment on iOS 17 to Launch on September 18, Featuring StandBy Mode, NameDrop, Interactive Widgets 1 year ago:
The no.1 thing I’m looking forward to is improved autocorrect.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
The dude is a bit of a meathead who will listen to anyone he has interest in for better or worse. I enjoyed his show for a while because I generally enjoy hearing people share their thoughts on things, even if sometimes they end up seeming a little off. As it so happens, I was just as willing to hear out criticisms against his show as well when I started noticing those. Then I just kind of lost interest. It can be a fun show to listen to, but it’s kind of like a dude-bro celebrity magazine-turned-podcast for people who fantasize about being rich and smarter than everyone else. I like to call him “Joe Brogan” now because I think it fits.

Probably too much privacy.
- Comment on YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer 1 year ago:
I think there might be something glitchy with Artemis.camp’s federation of this article. Lemmy.world and kbin.social is showing this as a generic YouTube thumb, but Artemis.camp, both in and out of the app, is showing two nude women smoking in a bar.
- Comment on YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer 1 year ago:
Fellow camper here. The two topless chicks were quite a shock.
- Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money? 1 year ago:
I get Simpsons, Futurama, x-files and others with my Star Wars, National Geographic and marvel, so I’m happy.
- Comment on would would the average skin tone and facial features after 300 years? 1 year ago:
Oh I didn’t meant to imply it has left our lexicon. I was just curious about it since so many people had things to say, and looked it up. You bring up a really fascinating point about “interracial”, though. If there’s a more appropriate alternative to that word, I’d like to know it.
- Comment on Pornhub Sues Texas Over Age Verification Law 1 year ago:
I’m of the opinion that protecting children has little to do with the actual intended purpose of laws such as these.
- Comment on would would the average skin tone and facial features after 300 years? 1 year ago:
Out of curiosity, I looked up “race” by anthropological terms in the dictionary and discovered that “race” is…
- No longer in technical use.
- Described as an arbitrary classification.
- A socially constructed category.
“Ethnicities” might have been a more suitable word choice for your intended query.
- Comment on Apple TV vs Firestick. 1 year ago:
I had a Firestick 4K then swapped it out for an AppleTV 4K. The Apple TV UX is really clean, fast, and lovely. The Fire TV stick had adverts and stuff in it and the UI, while simple, felt cluttered and a bit confusing in comparison. Fire TV just felt like an amazon storefront and it was difficult understanding what I did or didn’t actually have access to. On Apple TV, your content is featured first and foremost, and it recommends shows to you based on what you’re subscribed to rather than what it thinks you’ll spend money on.
The downside to Apple TV is that apps that haven’t fully integrated (namely Netflix) get kind of swept aside. There is no side loading and no browser, so you can’t get unofficial apps running on the system like on Fire TV. (I used to have a side loaded app that just let me stream movies and shows from some sketchy, foreign website) There’s also no VPN for Apple TV currently, but that’s coming with the next major software upgrade.
