- Comment on What are you guys using to sort and name music? 1 day ago:
Be careful with Mediamonkey. I’ve got it on my phone and PC, and my music is getting quieter and quieter on the phone. I think it’s something to do with the volume leveling on the Android version, but haven’t had a chance to figure it out yet.
I can put a song on full volume, and it’s quiet enough that it’s difficult to hear. I’ve tried the same tracks through youtube, and the volume is fine, so it’s not the phone speakers.
- Comment on The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if the generic tablets with made up Asian sounding names that you see on the big marketplaces could work? They could have slightly larger or smaller screens if they’re cheaper than current phone screens, and could have Linux with something like Signal on them for calling.
They’d probably be lower quality to begin with, but could potentially get better if people start to buy them. They seem to have generic hardware, so might be able to offer the drivers and unlockable bootloaders too :)
- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 3 weeks ago:
Bad. Copyright needs to be reformed, but this would be more likely to put money into the hands of rich people and corporations.
Imagine that I’ve just released a book series that’s more popular than Harry Potter and LOTR combined, and I get hit by a bus. What’s then stopping Disney or Warner Brothers etc from producing a set of movies with all the associated merch, and making a shit load of money, with not a penny going to my family? Not even giving them the opportunity to make enough to live on, never mind getting rich?
In that situation, depending on the contract, the publisher could even pulp the existing books and release identical copies without paying me or my family.

That’s brilliant, thank you :)
I’d actually forgotten to try the other method (ADHD strikes again!), so I’ll try them both out this week :)

That’s brilliant, thank you. I’ll try it tonight and see how it goes :)

Your account is less than a week old, and you’ve made about half a dozen posts around the same topic. Maybe try reading the answers to your questions and think about them.

No worries :)
Besides, it was the luck of the feed. The t-shirt post was only two posts above this one when I was browsing :)

It looks like you’ve replied to the wrong post. There’s a post in !asklemmy@lemmy.world about a Luigi t-shirt 👍
- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s the one. I’ve just checked the Wikipedia page for it, and it was rereleased on the Switch, so I’ve got it muddled up.
Apologies OP :)

Sorry, yes, Meta Knight :)

My kid used to love one of the Kirby games for the Wii, where the three of us could play at the same time. I can’t remember the name of it, but I’m pretty sure it was previously released for the SNES. It was the one with Armor Knight, if I’m remembering the character name correctly.

I thought I had disabled it, and I don’t have the app, but I can’t see any way to remove it from any of the settings mentioned in the email 🤷🏻♂️

I don’t use them either, but still got the email.
- Comment on Your household smart products must respect your privacy – including your air fryer 2 months ago:
People: Oh how cool, I can monitor my chicken nuggets from my couch ~5m away.
This would genuinely be handy for me though. I’ve got a nine year old, and have similar aged kids over quite regularly. If I’m dealing with the kids, I can’t always hear the air fryer finishing. A notification to the phone that’s in my pocket would be really helpful.
As you say though, there’s always shit tacked on :(
- Comment on Norway adopts tourist tax to combat overtourism 3 months ago:
A lot of the trips from things like cruise ships are organised, so a bus load of people will turn up somewhere all at once. Lots of places will have multiple cruises arriving at around the same time, and will have other organised trips too. If the toilets weren’t designed for that many people at once, you’ll get long queues, as well as needing more cleaning and maintenance.
You could build more toilets and hire more staff, but the money has to come from somewhere. Depending on the area, there might not be anything there that generates money either.
- Comment on Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse? 3 months ago:
Yep. I’ve said this before, but I don’t understand how a community that only provides links to external communities is supposed to help Lemmy grow, as opposed to taking people away 🤷🏻♂️

USB floppy drives are pretty easy to buy online now. I bought one from either Amazon or Ali Express a little while ago, and it works perfectly :)

- Comment on Crazy idea, a phone setting that when enabled changes touch sensitivity settings to be more selective of touch inputs while in the shower.. 4 months ago:
You can get waterproof Bluetooth speakers that are designed to go in the shower for less than £10 in the UK. The sound quality isn’t amazing, but they’re not much different from a phone speaker, especially with the sound of the water 👍

Exactly this. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say anything like goddamn shitbiscuit, and only heard things like god fucking dammit when they’ve had time to stop and think about it.
It’s much more likely for someone here to grunt or suck through their teeth, or maybe something short like shit.
