Everyone here is already doing it. If only we could get the millions on all the shit platforms to do the same.

What’s complicated about listing a few numbers?
You should see my power bill
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 2 days ago:
it wasn’t “close to passing”, it was “close to being passed on as a proposal for a law”, requiring then a formal vote, no?
It’s the same thing. Why would a country show support for the legislation and then vote against it later?
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 2 days ago:
The US has been basically completely flipped on its head in only a few short years into fucking authoritarianism. We have many measures in place to prevent this and they all fell apart. Our system was only loosely held together by good faith. And that faith is gone. And as a side tangent I’m not sure we’ll ever get it back. Be vigilant, it happens quickly.

Amazon is not a search engine. Try again.
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 3 days ago:
It couldn’t have been close to passing without a vote even taking place.
Huh?
countries representing more than 35% of the EU population have declared their opposition
That’s not even half…
A lot of countries have indeed declared support, though this is completely separate from the vote.
That’s because, as you mentioned earlier, the vote never happened.
There, it’d require a qualified majority (55% of member states in favor, or countries representing 65% of the EU population in favor)
Which, according to your own numbers, they already had.

Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.
What? LOL Who do you think is pushing said “propaganda” to make people fear Chat Control unnecessarily?
And we got told so many times, that EU now wants Chat Control. But it was a big fat lie.
It was demonstrably not a lie. There were so many regions in support of it that it was dangerously close to passing.
I’m thinking this post is the propaganda. Really really lazy propaganda.
Don’t worry, it’ll be back again in a few months with a new coat of paint.

I didn’t ask if it was available, I asked if a typical search engine would lead you to it.
- Comment on Amazon’s giant ads have ruined the Echo Show 3 days ago:
Something ironic about a news site writing news about how terrible ads are while showing you ads and collecting and sharing your information to sell to advertisers to show you more ads.

Did you actually try that?

I see the problem, there is a kink in some of your cables that’s limiting bandwidth.

- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 4 days ago:
Well I was going to pretend not to be a pessimist but realistically, no group of people is “that type of person”, which is why we’re all so helpless. People are addicted to their favorite platforms and there’s nothing you or the platforms can do to make them leave.

How much “feedback” do you think it will take to make them contradict the vindictive sitting President? Apple doesn’t care about what you think about this because it’s not for you.
You know what you can do? Stop giving them money. Write them an email from your iCloud account, then delete said account. Cancel any subscriptions (this seemed to be effective against Disney).
The fed gov holds too much power. You have to show them that Americans, collectively, have more power to affect their bottom line than the Pres, and (most importantly) are willing to exercise it.

RSS is a nice idea. Unfortunately too many websites want you to use email “newsletters” instead.
Even Ghost has no mechanism to add an RSS link. You have to inspect the page code or use a dedicated extension.

- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 6 days ago:
I’m not going to disagree, other than to offer the obligatory “it works on my machine!”.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 6 days ago:
I recommend the opposite. Steam Game Mode essentially turns your PC into a console and has lots of in-game settings that are all controller friendly, and has a built in MangoHud for performance metrics. This is what SteamOS uses. But it really depends on how you use your system. You can always just disable game mode with a single command, and the invoke it manually from the desktop using
` ujust toggle-autologin

Firstly if you’re looking to upgrade your system and switch to Linux, I would recommend switching to team Red. For a variety of reasons really but generally they are a better value and also will just work better with Linux.
GOG games can be run on SteamOS and SteamOS-like distros through Heroic and Lutris. Though YMMV. You’re going to have a much better time playing games on Steam.
Valve is not going to give you support for GOG but Linux is a community-driven project and probably the vast majority of Linux users are going to want to run games from other stores.

I would say if you want a managed option on someone else’s server it should be encrypted (a la Ente).

He never said anything about being anti union. What he said was that if his workers felt the need to unionize then he had done something very wrong.

Why would anyone pay you $20/mo when they can sell their personal data to ChatGPT and use it for free?

Bluetooth has a pretty significant range, especially outdoors. So you might be watching something on the stage while a friend or family member is 300 feet away at a concession stand.

Oh that’s cool too but I was talking about supporting the project.

Anytime you have bad/no cellular reception. Think being at a large event where the cell network is saturated, or in a rural area with no cell service.
