  Obviously never rely on a single source before buying something, but this isn’t news. See the other dude’s comment lemmy.world/comment/20879776

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps an open set of standards at the least. Some form of super-oauth would be required but I should have clarified that the openness of a true federation-like model is aspirational: invisioned as a conscious and intentional rejection of the ever-increasing monetization, financialization, and enshittification of all mediums of social interaction.

  People didn’t jump on the FB metaverse partly because it was shit, but partly because it was painfully obvious it was full of grift and a billionaire’s wet dream of further social monopolization. The friction and frustration has been increasing. The world falling apart makes the little nagging annoyances just that much more irritating, and people are starting to actively resist them rather than just rant and succumb.

  Think gravatar meets roblox VR web.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The metaverse, in some form, is nearly inevitable IMO. But it’ll be a federated-like infrastructure and I’m very glad Facebook will have fuck all to do with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Condoms and contraceptives to become more expensive in China as Beijing accelerates push to lift birth rate⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how much they plan to increase the cost of a condom, but I’d wager that it will be cheaper than 18 years of life.

  I’m still running a 480 that doubles as a space heater (I’m not even joking; I increase the load based on ambient temps)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific Exposure⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun (random shit I heard on the internet): the enshittification of journals mostly started with Pergamon Press which was founded by Ghislaine Maxwell’s father.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell and HP disable hardware H.265 decoding on select PCs due to rising royalty costs — companies could save big on HEVC royalties, but at the expense of users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jealous

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨they/them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh this is one of those “reincarnated Hitler” freaks; I remember them.

  Any time someone starts talking about past lives, you’re about to hear some wild racist shit. Weird how no one’s ever a reincarnated 8th century arab peasant with intimate knowledge of period & region-specific horticulture… It’s always “I gasses the Jews” or “I was enslaved so I can say the N word”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God ****** dammit, here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something to keep in mind about not using browser integrations is that you can fall victim to simple keyloggers and clipboard stealers. But using an extension can also be a weakpoint if it autopopulates incorrectly or on a compromised site; but that’s far less common.

  But, dear readers, don’t let that dissuade you: even a text file in a veracrypt volume is better than “PurpleElephant1994”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dailydrive a heavily configured MPV and I’ve got a lot of complaints about jellyfin, but this is a no-go for sharing for the vast majority of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Edit the config to unbind all defaults, and define your own keybinds as you need them, using what’s most intuitive for you and building memory.

  Or you can just use one if the plethora of guis…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Falconeer gets a huge Revolution Remaster upgrade but drops Native Linux for Proton⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Full-time Linux user here. I’ll say it. Good proton support is better than a bad native edition.

  It’s an annoyingly frequent occurrence: I often need to run a windows version of a game to fix issues or get better performance over a neglected native release. They’re often started with good intentions or for good PR, but quickly realize the miniscule install base can’t justify continued investment. Supporting proton is often a much lower bar to pass.

  One Covert skin collector says that their 609 hitherto “worthless red skins” are now worth £3,329,612 on the marketplace. One respondent comments that “my knife just dropped $1,400 in value in the span of 30 minutes”.

  Aaaahahahaha
