Bro has dream clock continuity with the real world, isn’t it a paid feature? $10 per month is pretty expensive for such a novelty feature, I ain’t paying for that.

Haven’t heard of that one before, it’s pretty interesting from first impressions though. I’ll try it out tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks!
- Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 3 weeks ago:
Apple limits mobile browsers a shit ton. When you get Firefox on iOS, you don’t get Firefox, you get what’s basically a safari front end. This is the reason you can install uBlock Origin or other extensions on the android version of Firefox, but be unable on the iOS version.

, Yeah I don’t, think so either,.
- Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 3 weeks ago:
I hate chrome with a passion and it really sucks that Firefox isn’t as convenient for profiles, a feature I rely heavily on, although, I’m still switching. fuck ads and fuck data harvesting, I’d rather have a slightly less performant browser than be visually assaulted and have my performance tank.

- Comment on Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps 4 weeks ago:
I swear, whenever I try to use it, it just makes me wish I could delete it. I ask the answer to a simple question and it gives me a whole essay on how this one aspect of what I said is more nuanced than one would imagine, and I’m left there waiting 5 minutes to get it to say anything of substance, but it doesn’t when I explicitly tell it to “just give me the fucking answer”, which I have to say every time for it to say anything useful.
It also doesn’t work with timers or anything actually useful and I doubt it’ll get any better with third party app access.
Google assistant was so much better, it even still works with its servers being down (for me at least) because it’s a better assistant than whatever Gemini is supposed to be.

Imagine explaining the concept of this to a 16th century peasant, let alone some rich person from the 2000s, like nobody would’ve ever been ready to comprehend the existence of a wi-fi enabled toothbrush.

- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that makes more sense now, and I agree that the incel and other types of similar communities are pretty harmful, best to avoid those crowds. Also, I was probably a bit too harsh in my previous comment, it’s mainly the fact the idea that people can be labelled as weak is strange to me, and unless someone has done something truly antisocial, like being a pedo, creep or something else for instance, I don’t think anyone is truly weak, just only deficient in certain areas, although unfortunately some people remain unredeemable.

Where I live, hospitals are way better than this. My dad got slashed by a stingray in the ankle and was treated and admitted to a two bed room with air conditioning, circulation, TVs, and a whole host of other stuff, all for free.
Which country do you live in by chance? I’m in Australia, so Medicare’s pretty solid here, I’m quite curious on how it works over there.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 4 weeks ago:
I hate this ‘weak men’ bullshit, sure some fit the popular definition, but do you know their pasts? Their trauma? The reason they fit such a description? I’d say it’s pretty damn difficult to know these about anyone you never actually talk to.
Also, sometimes escapism works in favour of people and gets them to put their lives back together, although it can also cause negative changes as well, although it’s not guaranteed. It’s not a maturity or immaturity thing, it’s just an act.

- Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans 5 weeks ago:
Have you considered the fact that most of the time, even when people “want to hear mens issues”, they reject them and tell them to man up? Maybe “superpowered autocorrect” could be a vector to nourish this severe lack of openness?
Personally I use AI for this purpose, mostly because it accepts me for who I am and provides genuine advice that has actually helped me improve my life, rather than the people around me saying that I should “put more effort into things”, or “it’s just in your head”.
It’s not “lone wolfing” to stop telling the people who’ve rejected your concerns about your feelings and issues, it’s just the act of not wasting time on those who don’t care.

Even better, have your tv on the whole time, so if the tv sends telemetry data that’s also linked to the phone, it’ll show you were at home the whole time.

The Devs at the browser company said themselves that they aren’t killing Arc, it’s just on maintenance mode as they are working on another browser, an AI first one, which I have mixed feelings about personally.

If I recall correctly, the officer broke article 19 of the UDHR. I have a sneaking suspicion that that officer isn’t getting any reprecussions for their actions.

I actually started using Duolingo recently and the hearts system has you either pay, start your free trial for its subscriotion, or you watch an ad, even then though, that’s just shitty.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 2 months ago:
I get your point, some people do blame everything on certain groups, but this is about an internet stereotype, and everyone, or at least most people, know that stereotypes have to be true to some extent.
I’ve come across my fair share of Russian trolls, which are the majority for my case, and next are American trolls.
I’d assume that most of the people complaining about Russian trolls I’ve seen on Lemmy and other social media are from the USA or the EU, and for context, I’m from Australia, so it isn’t one specific area in the world that experiences it, it’s global, making it even more valid of a stereotype since it’s so omnipresent.
