- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 2 minutes ago:
Imagine if Spotify just opened the camera on your phone once a month when you first open the app that day. Just for like a split second. Theoretically it would be legal, for age verification. 🤮

Ah the laziness to not even set up an account that needs it. I didn’t consider that. Was more thinking of current users meeting the resistance.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 1 hour ago:
Lemmy will be pressured into age verification also and most hosts will crumble. $50M per caught infraction is wild.
We gonna end up going back to libraries. Which actually would be cool as fuck. Like Yentl when all those dudes are hanging out in a big ass room talking philosophy. It’ll re-spark the postal service. Live music will thrive. Coz everyone will be like fuck the internet, we’ll do it live.

- Comment on Laxative Effect 11 hours ago:
Once when I was a kid I drank a 2 liter bottle of coke on a road trip and was busting to pee. Like a Linux user wanting say they use arch. We finally stopped at a gas station and I let er rip. Felt so relieved, felt human again. Started walking back to the car, the color left my face and my lips started tingling because they were so dry, realized there was a second piss tsunami aftershock forming. So I ran back to the the bathroom. But the thing is, my mum saw me walking back to the car after my de’piss’ot. Then when she looked up again I was gone. She thought someone stole me.
And that’s when I learned how much my mum loved me. Enough to hug and kiss me crying in a gas station parking lot but not enough to say ‘you probably shouldn’t drink 2 liters of coke straight from the bottle’

Im at the level where I don’t know what SSO means. I can follow instructions to change a DNS. But what a DNS actually is I don’t know. Which is fine, until I need to work out what’s broken

Thanks. Yeah I’m just trying to work at it slowly in my downtime instead of just watching YouTube all night.

I wanna get into it but man, the mountain of knowledge I need to even understand what people are talking about is hard to climb. I’m trying to just get some stuff running in docker and it fails to launch and I’m like… How?! Isn’t that the whole point of docker lol. Baby steps I guess

- Comment on How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should 3 weeks ago:
Is it true that newer pixels have RAM dedicated to AI? And even if I turn of Gemini and delete the app I still won’t able to use that RAM?
Is it counted within the usual 8-12gigs or is it seperate?
Just trying to find out incase I buy one for graphineOS

To be fair. I was frustrated 5 mins ago. Needed a break. The phrase ‘calm down’ in this meme made me crack a smile and I actually did calm. So in a weird backwards way it actually worked.

This might be a quicker solution than replacing the stick. Thnx

Oh sick thanks!
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 3 weeks ago:
It still is ahead of its time. I think it was the learning curve that held it back. There wasn’t really a tutorial for how to use it fully. But through the years it grew on me and paired to my steamdeck on tv. It’s my main way to play now.
I know this is gonna sound crazy but switching the triggers so left is zoom and right is fire changed everything for me. If your aiming with your left thumb and also using your left finger to fire it throws off your aim.
I’ve got 2 and my main ones thumbstick is worn down to the plastic under the rubber now.
If they release a new version I will buy it in a heartbeat.

- Comment on One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons 1 month ago:
Rechargeables get stuck and are waaaay harder to remove than regular because they’re just a bit bigger. I have solved this with a loop of sticky tape around the batteries so I got a bit of a pull tab when using them.so it works…but not perfectly
