Watched it outside of USA. Buffered once between rounds. Was fine.
- Comment on A box of Cadbury's Favourites reveals a lot about the 'high-low' cycles of supermarket pricing 3 weeks ago:
“This can create price changes that may look like price fixing … however, this is unlikely to be illegal as long as each business is making independent decisions about its prices.”
How can such clear trends be independent.
They claim its supplier’s. Likely the supplier is selling to both parties. Still doesn’t seem independent.
- Comment on South Australia’s upper house narrowly rejects ‘Trumpian’ bill to wind back abortion care 4 weeks ago:
Worse still that an MP came in form sick leave to vote against.
From what I read somone would abstain and shed be on leave, making the votes even out. Then they pulled out and said they’d vote so she came in to have her vote count!

Perplexity isnt new. The hook is it links to the web articles its sourced the answer from. So you can (somewhat) vet the information isnt a hallucination or dog into the website for more info.
- Comment on Super Hans knows what's up 1 month ago:
No logo in the foam.
Hans would have used Lemmy.

Idk what is news and what is a meme anymore. Either way let’s go back to burning anyone that suggests anything.

I was trying for this. Probably should have have just pasted it.
- Comment on South Australia is proposing a law to ban kids under 14 from social media. How would it work? 2 months ago:
Yes. And SA is proposing a law against kids using online services.
Yet the conversion is about how the tech companies will handle it. Not about what society in general will do.
- Comment on South Australia is proposing a law to ban kids under 14 from social media. How would it work? 2 months ago:
People only focus on the tech solution of this. We don’t make ciggys or booze impossible for kids to injest.
Socialy its not responsible to let your kids drink or smoke. Even behind ose doors.
I think a large part of the tech change is society itself. It needs to become taboo to let kids use the devices and services. Along with understanding the risks (addiction to tech, isolation, depression, being influenced etc). Funily enough the risks aren’t only for children it’s for all of us.

Why use more words when less is easier.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
I looked into that font when I head about it. Peer reviewd studies seem to agree with you. It’s also mainly the size and reglar spacing that helps.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
Devil’s advocate. Helps ESL speakers and dyslexics. Probably bad for tts scream readers though.
- Comment on You have the right to disconnect from work after hours from today. But what does that mean in practice? 2 months ago:
Just like “may be require to work outside of Ferguson hours”. That employers have abused for ages.
- Comment on Redesigning Australian State Flags 2 months ago:
Agree with other post re ugly jack. But why does SA have no stars? Better that they all have them or all don’t, I vote don’t.
- Comment on I don't think it's true 2 months ago:
There’s no way he didn’t hear that. Imagine if he just took a quick piss.
Im fun at parties.
- Comment on NewPipe outage over: version 0.27.1 restores YouTube playback 4 months ago:
The dev has a new repo and its called Tubular. Se thing as NP Sponsor Block. Something about NP not wnating to be associated in name.
But as others said. Let the builds roll down. The devs aren’t getting paid.
- Comment on Unofficial Reddit API 4 months ago:
And SmartTV or whatever is. Basically the same but for Android tv.
- Comment on Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour 4 months ago:
“Google have borrowed this idea form Waze” doesn’t Google own Waze ?
- Comment on is there a set top media player that doesn't require an online account? 4 months ago:
I’d love a fairphone, pixle type android tv that I can root and remove all google services from. Shield is where it’s at, but it’s a bit old and even without Google it’s still going to be sending data to them.
- Comment on How do I get spell correction for Android? 6 months ago:
Settings > General Management > Language > Spelling Correction > Default spell checker.
This (rarley mentioned) setting is separate to your keyboard.
Having both keyboard and this set to Samsung is a good option.
QIf not, try the GBoard app and put both as that.
HeliBoard is an open source version of GBoard. Development has only just restartef so I recomendation getting a normal version working first.
- Comment on is there a way to refederate instances just for me? 10 months ago:
Is it as easy as “create instance” or does it involve setting up a server and other cloud based software?
