- Comment on LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs | The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week 1 week ago:
Libreoffice was created as a fork of OpenOffice because the development of OO became stale due to Oracle. If you’re still on OpenOffice, try LibreOffice - it’s kind of the same, but better
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been gaming on my SteamDeck for quite a while and I will continue that. There’s no way that I’m paying that much money for a new gaming computer
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 3 weeks ago:
But as regular people, gamers, Lemmy posters, why are we doing the same? How is it serving us? Are we all influencers in waiting, hoping to up our updoot count and build a following of… dozens?
Many people are rationalizing their purchase decisions. Not everybody can afford to buy (and play!) two games so if you have two highly anticipated games or consoles coming out in the same time, most people can only get one. And then they have to choose. Afterward, they don’t want to hear that the other game is better, that it’s also great and they are missing out on a lot of fun and that the one they didn’t get is totally awesome.

The correct tools are those small plastic containers or a cheap grease gun. You can get the grease better into the bearing with them and don’t have the risk of smearing cotton fiber in there. They are of course more expensive than a q-tip, but you can get one for unter 5€. Seriously, if you do this even a couple times a year, buy one.
(This is also a great example why environmental regulation is so tricky: It totally makes sense to prevent one of the worst polluting product to be phased out or replaced with a better solution. But then there are edge cases (how many people have even greased a bearing in their life?) where the new product might be worse, but that still is not an argument for mass pollution on our beaches or against that regulation)

Come on, let’s not doubt that eating car tires is unhealthy.

Why would you grease a bearing with a q-tip? Use a proper tool for that!

A big problem here is that Google & Apple are not trustworthy. Google f.e. is blocking accounts without any chance for the user to get them back or to reclaim them. If you need an app to open your door and Google is blocking you, you’re fucked.

- Comment on When You Block the Internet on Your Phone, Something Astonishing Happens Mentally 5 weeks ago:
So, what would be the best way to “block the internet” on an Android phone while still being somehow able to use it for communication with the family & friends, navigation and stuff like that?
- Comment on Lenovo responds to Trump tariffs in unexpected style 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, but computers and smartphones are kind of like food - people need them, they are not luxury goods. You might be able to use your old laptop a while longer or keep using your broken smartphone, but if it really breaks, you will buy another one regardless of tarrifs.

duckduckgo browser is based on Chromium (as nearly every other “alternative” browser is) and therefore will use Manifest v3 and neuter uBlock.

- Comment on Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed ◆ Truffle Security Co. 5 weeks ago:
There are better gadgets to track your sleep. If you want to just track how you’re sleeping, get a cheap fitbit. Withings or Apple Watch are also able to detect sleep apnea

- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 5 weeks ago:
Let’s be honest: Everything that might be “worse” or “annoying” in Firefox for someone is not relevant in comparison to “no working adblocker available”. A browser without adblock is unusable
- Comment on Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed ◆ Truffle Security Co. 5 weeks ago:
- a $2000 bed
- with a $19/month subscription
- full of security holes
- that allows the company to ssh into your bed
- which is a full linux computer
- that totally could give those guys access into your local network
- the CEO is flirting with DOGE and is offering them free beds
- they are tracking your sleep data
WTF?
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 month ago:
If they open source all their code, some tech wizard will implement a self hosted obsidian sync server with the same convenience as theirs in a day, and the company will lose their revenue stream
Obsidian is storing everything as plaintext files. Those convenient selfhosted sync solutions have been out there for years.
