  Yeah, but carrier locked phones are illegal in many places (and always have been), aren’t they still allowed in the US?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3175: Website Task Flowchart⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s not forget:

  • useless “help” pages that try and explain the most basic of concepts without giving you any information you are looking for, despite it being in the title
  • pagaes takes 35 seconds and 17.876 lines of JS code to load
  • accept that we share your data with out 237 partners
  • page requires a login →login→login form redirects you to homepage instead of page you were before→navigate to page before→page requires a login
  • page loading itself after a while
  • 8 months old link is broken because they refactored their knowledge base archive without bothering to redirect old links, despite every arricle having a simple code

  I in looking at your Microsoft, Intel, Autodesk, HPE, Xilinx…

  Especially on an M1. In a different architecture you don’t have Apple’s translation layer, so you’re stuck with ARM software only

  Don’t forget that Fallout New Vegas regularly drops below 15$ with all the DLC

  I think Skibidi Toilet is way healthier than mainstream comedic tropes like “fat guy funny” or “gay guy effemminate” that were soooo common in mainstream TV and now are (luckily) fading out.

  Brainrot is equally stupid but more self-concious and more honest.

  And to be honest, the first time I stumbled upon Skibidi Toilet, I thought it was a 2012 Garry’s mod stupid video, game me the same vibe.

  However, Ai-slop brainrot (brainslop? Sloprot?), that feels worse. I know I’m pulling out the “kids these days card”, but what really changed is the media: TikTok and all the Tok-likes+AI are becoming better and better at rotting your brain. I don’t know if they really worsen the attention span, even temporarily, but I’m convinced it reduces people’s happiness and is the closest we can get to mind control as the consiracists intend it to be

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take the plea deal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the situation turns out where Trump is falling (unlikely but not impossible), you accept a plea deal with current Trump allies that will wait for him to look away and stab behind his back, so someone else will take power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take the plea deal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That works under the assumption that Trump falls and crumbles

  With the amount of work they are putting in compatibility layers technology, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could run The Witcher 3 on it out of the box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least they tried to hide it, now they don’t.

  As for the cold war, if you consider the conflict USA-USSR they clearly won: Russia was, at least at some point, equally powerful to the USA technologically and militarly, what one did first, the other caught up pretty quickly, then the Soviet Government collapsed for various reasons, and they couldn’t catch up, now the USA is arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world, in many aspects.

  China is catching up, but they are in no way equally capable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout 4's script extender has already gotten its anniversary update, as Bethesda battle creation issues⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Betheda being bethesda as usual, releasing overpriced merchandise, selling the same game you alreadt bought, while not even caring enough to implement bug fixes that modders already figured out gratis for you.

  And gamers spread their asscheeks so they can collect every version of the game that Todd spits out his mouth.

  Sorry for my saltyness, but bethesda really grinds my gear like few others do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-bean soup⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, what I’m saying is that latte = milk in italian, so if you ordered latte in Italy you would get a glass of milk, that’s what I mean by mistranslation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3-bean soup⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just FYI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People don’t like being told they are wrong, so, if you are sure they are indeed wrong, giving them the option to reconsider is usually more tactful and polite.

  Also, I don’t know what your job is, but noone ks paid to be right. People make mistake because you can never be fully certain of anything. You are paid for your time/experience, and that allows you to be wrong (at least in a healthy environment).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla to Require Data-Collection Disclosure in All New Firefox Extensions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since some extensions are “mozilla-approved”, I guess they test it regularly, it wouldn’t be hard to verify if one is really sending anything despite their disclosure.

  The Reepublic of San Marino has been independent for a very long time, possibly since 301 ce, that would make it a 1700 years old country that never changed its form of government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This man is suffering⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have been to Los Angeles for a short time with friends and of course we tried several fast foods. We decided to go to Hooters just for fun, but the food was surprisingly the most decent of those we tried, and also reasonably priced. Of course we could see a lot of creepy around us and it was a little unconfortable seeing some clearly underage girls just being there for their boobs.

  The US really is a weird place…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arby's steak bites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s the intense lighting, maybe it’s what they used for the “marinating” but they truly look like rotten flesh. Zombie bytes maybe, not steak

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great business idea, tbh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What prevents them for doing the same? Not doing their job until they are fired so they don’t have to quit. I would get that would be even more shameful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would hardly consider “one or two trump supporter in two years” a silo, like how many other people you encountered that were less extremists and more capable of dialogue?

  Also, lemmy is not immune to tech propaganda, since it cannot be taken in isolation: people will still (albeit probably less intesively) biased by consuming other media, and being mostly a link aggregator rather than a generator of original content, there will still be some bias from the sources. It’s just a place where there’s no omnipotent algorithm so the problem is less grave, but still present.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not hating, I don’t know from which year this is from, didn’t even know it’s a development kit, and although the capabilities I mentioned are recent (and by recent, thunderbolt 4 has been around for at least a couple years, PD 120w for around the same or even more), a single usb-C has been capable of driving a portable device, that needs charging and a display output, from at least 7+ years.

  You can call me cynical, but yes, if I see a strange double usb-C port I think it doesn’t really make a ton of sense and the first thing I think about is a strange trick to transform a standard technology in something proprietary, especially since nintendo has done the same with the switch 2 by implementing non-standard usb c in their dock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  USB 3.2 or 4 allows for a thunderbolt 4 interface, that runs at 40 GB/s (for external gpu cards). Thunderbolt also uses Power Delivery and the latest version allows for a 48V @ 5A profile, that would be 240W. Even previous versions allow for 24V @ 5V (120W).

  As for the cable length I wouldn’t really know, probably it’s possible up to a meter, if the cable is well shielded, the power doesn’t change much because the current os always rather low, it’s the voltage that increases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A single usbc can deviler 240W and data at 40 GB/s, what else can it be other than vendor lockin by nintendo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | Season 4 Clip | Paramount+ (NYCC 2025)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?
