- Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years 8 months ago:
I’m on my 5th year with my Oneplus 6.
I suspect I’d I do a full wipe, a new OS and a fresh battery I should be able to keep it going for a couple more.
Phones plateaued for me. It runs fast. It holds more then enough data.
Camera is a little slow. I’ve been told to stop using the default camera app. But then the double click to open won’t work.
- Comment on Google tests a feature that calls businesses on your behalf and holds until an agent is available | TechCrunch 8 months ago:
I don’t understand how we’ve had telephones for 150 years and this is only now a thing.
Didn’t bell experiment with this back in the 90s? Bell call answer service or something? Would wait on hold for you then cal you back.
That existed in this universe right?
- Comment on Dispose of them 8 months ago:
I heat my milk so I can eat a HOT breakfast like a human being.
I also always eat it at a table to avoid a -1 mood debuff.
Cold cereal? No thanks. I’d rather starve.

Not that I have time to get into the triple zero club again.

I’ve been playing a tune from links awakening in my head for over 25 years without knowing where I knew the tune from (I had completely forgotten I even owned it in game boy)
Now I have the sheet music. And I can play it for real.

This must be the American side of the boarder eh?
- Comment on This console generation seems skippable 10 months ago:
95% of the games I play are on pc. With mods. Faster load screens. Better debugging by the community.
The 5% of games I don’t get to play “new” will inevitably be developed for pc - by the companies themselves or some smart fan.
I figure consoles have another 25 years max before they are totally obsolete tech.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:
“if you don’t have any money - spend the money you don’t have and move”
Might be the dumbest thing I’ve read ment as good advice.
Moving won’t help the whole country is in the same sinking boat.
Fleeing the country costs even more money and time.
I’d wager more the 70% of people are stuck where they are. Whether they own a home or are renting.
Move. To where? Cuba? Most places don’t want the average dumbed down north America.
Moving also men’s leaving all your support groups, friends and family. You have any idea how hard and expensive it is to pack up and move someplace where you don’t know anyone?
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 10 months ago:

I was visiting home after being away for 3 months.
My mom asked my brother to clean the basement. His immediate response
“I didn’t do I it, my brother made the mess”
Like… I don’t even live here asshat

I believe that is “The O’Neal” actually.
- Comment on ‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit 10 months ago:
I’ve been having trouble finding another site with so many sub topics.
I’d use discord - but you have to manually find each room. There’s no generic search function (not that I’ve found on mobile anyway - feel free to correct me)
If there’s another large site I could use (other then lemmy which lacks the numbers) let me know. I’m watching reddit die and I genuinely feel the void it’s leaving in my heart.

You got a couple names of the improvements? Not that I don’t like lemmy but… Numbers are small.
- Comment on YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button 11 months ago:
On mobile? Use Firefox.
On pc? Free tube.
- Comment on Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way 11 months ago:
I dunno why I individually responded to people when I should’ve just done this.
It’s because one of your peripherals is set to wake state. You can google how to figure that out.
I turned my mouse and keyboard off from this. The mouse will wake it even if you move it. So f that. Keyboard. Some. Keyboards will wake just by having an active transmission (so manually turn it off every time - no thanks)
Now I manually have to touch my power button to wake.

- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Take gf to burger place.
Take gf home.
Bang. Restore all health and status ailments.
Except crabs. Your character has crabs now.
How much more intimate do you need?
- Comment on The AI Politicians Would Like to Speak With You Now - Politicians are using AI doppelgängers to reach voters. It’s a trend that’s about to explode. 1 year ago:
Let’s skip the middle man. Get rid of politicians. Use AI instead.
AI will not cave to threats or bribes. AI won’t take million dollar salaries.
AI won’t need billion dollar pissing contests to feel better about themselves.
AI won’t hire their inept children to fuck shit up.
AI won’t be as cold hearted… Wait. Scratch that one.
- Comment on What happens when people die with metal on or on them? 1 year ago:
Not stupid answer :
After cremation - all metal artifacts are given back to the family should they want them.
I hope my kids take the titanium from my spine.
- Comment on ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google 1 year ago:
Can you image how impossible it will be to search reddit WITHOUT using search engines?
The reddit search functions a joke. Everything about it frustrates me.
After 7 years I still have no idea how to search my own inbox for posts that I know I have - but no idea when or where. If Google can’t help me find them - they might as well not exist.
If reddit wants to die so badly - this is the way to do it!
Ummm. What’s lemmy position on this? I havn’t looked to hard at sync for lemmy opinions (indeed, I only have a few dozen posts / inbox messages) but If it’s the same as it was for reddit. It’s also not great.
- Comment on I'm surprised there's not more cartoons with mimes as protagonists. It would probably cut down animation costs and you wouldn't need a voice actor. 1 year ago:
I’m sensing a Netflix zelda cartoon in the making.
Let’s make it twilight princess themed so we don’t even have mouths moving.
- Comment on A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades 1 year ago:
I looked at this today. Aside from the initial investment this seems to be amazing.
Makes me with I cared more about my privacy to take advantage of the options.
And that I had the motivation to learn more phone based programming…
I’ve book marked it for future investment
