I still like Level1Techs. They don’t put out nearly as many videos as they used to, but what do they put out is usually good.

flop_leash_973,

Yeah, he is more about outrage content these days it seems. What he is railing against is usually something I broadly agree is bad from the sounds of it. But he rarely goes any deeper than “this article or 2 claims this corpo is fucking us, you should steal their shit, move to another state, or just in general be as unproductively outraged as me about it.”

And he has started to branch so far into things he doesn’t really know anything about at times that he is either flat out wrong, or so uninformed as to not have an opinion worth listening to on the subject to begin with.

He seems to want to be some kind of investigative journalist reporting on the wrongs of the big guy, but he doesn’t want to leave his house and risk getting into uncomfortable real world situations to do it unless it is a hearing about right to repair. You don’t find Rossman doing much deep diving into details, just surface level rage baiting I guess is what I am trying to say.

Don’t forget the “bloodletting”. Got to get that bad blood out along with the head spirits.

flop_leash_973,

I’ve got a ammo box and a plane made out of bullet casing’s from World War 2 that used to belong to my grandfather.

flop_leash_973,

Sure, I made a post over on c/pics. lemmy.world/post/9098624honestly never thought about letting other see what it looks like.

flop_leash_973,

I thought death would be happy with this roll of the dice. I thought he had been after Kissinger or McConnell for years now.

When it comes to tablets, if it is not an iPad, Galaxy Tab S, or Pixel tablet don’t waste the money period. Everything else is pushed out the door and forgotten about by the OEM before the delivery truck leaves the warehouse.

To me, things like ChatGPT are just more efficient ways to search sites they scrap data from like Stack Overflow. If they ever drive enough traffic away from their sources to kill the sources the likes of ChatGPT will become mostly useless.

Hitman: World of Assassination is what I usually go to when I just want to chill and not think much.

Shady service turns out to be insecure and shady. I’m shocked. The real take away from this is if Nothing thought this was a good idea, what other horrible things have they done to their ROM we haven’t found out about yet.

flop_leash_973,

I have something like 100 of these in a draw in my home office. Along with a straightened paperclip as a backup.

flop_leash_973,

That level is what teaches you that sometimes things are not built to be fair and are in fact built to frustrate you and make you fail.

flop_leash_973,

Yes it is gross, it Apple does the same thing in their app store. So it is nothing that can be avoided with using the major players.

flop_leash_973,

It really is a mind fuck that I could walk out into the middle of the street in broad daylight in full view of 100 people, shoot someone in the head at point blank range, killing them and still end up with less time than this guy will most likely get so long as the person I murdered wasn’t well to do financially.

I think mine takes it day by day, She is not a generous God.

Someone needs to remind Scorsese that he makes an entertainment product, one of many, he is not redefining the meaning of life itself. Hell, here is a hot take, the old Jim Carrey movie “The Mask” is a better movie than anything Scorsese has ever made. I can say I go back to watch The Mask more anyway. He needs to stop huffing his own farts.

It is gonna be a rough time for Android whenever Nova’s new owners get around to trying to come up with ways to “monetize “ Nova further. I wonder how many people would pay $10/month for a launcher.

flop_leash_973,

They did the same thing with “blockchain”, “NFTs”, and other largely vaporware crypto junk last year.

They are just riding the hype wave hoping to cash out before the bottom falls out of it like always.

flop_leash_973,

Not in total. But I also don’t think it is the king maker these investors are making it out to be. Just like Crypto, it is a tool that can enhance and improve things when applied to the right things in the right ways. It is not some magic bullet that is the easy button that the investor snake that is currently eating its tail speculating over it would have everyone believe.

flop_leash_973,

That is the thing with for profit companies, especially publicly traded ones. No matter how much they make, it is never enough. Next quarter must always be higher than this quarter or the world is on fire and heads will roll.

A lot of my personal dislike for VIM would be done away with if it just had a helpful common keys cheat sheet (basic cursor navigation, edit mode, exit with and without saving, etc) at the bottom of the editor window like Nano does.

flop_leash_973,

I’m with you on that. VIM is a good example of a tool that the deepness of the tool makes it aggravating to use for the 90% of simple use cases.

Unless you use VIM enough for the shortcuts to be second nature it is faster to install Nano, make the changes, and remove Nano than it is to use VIM.

Would be more exciting and worth paying attention to if Google Fiber wasn’t basically living in an iron lung over at Alphabet these days since they halted major expansion.

flop_leash_973,

Ours is terrible for making security policy that will impact technical solution options in a vacuum with a few select higher level IT folks and no one sorts out the process to using the new “secure” way first. Ending up in finding out something you thought would be a day or 2 task ends up being a weeks long odyssey to define new processes and technical approaches. Or sometimes just out right abandoning the work because the headache isn’t worth it.

flop_leash_973,

Lack of support for SMB is about the only thing missing that I care about from it. There is an add-on app Google released years back for it, but they haven’t updated it in years and it was broken the last time I tried to use it.

flop_leash_973,

Pretty expensive for the value usually provided by the Pixel line in my opinion.

flop_leash_973,

Reddits bread and butter is engagement. What that engagement ends up looking like is far less important. 500 posts screaming death to women that drive is more valuable to them monetarily than 5 posts talking about feeding homeless children. Follow the money and all that.

flop_leash_973,

Lawful neutral or chaotic neutral for me, depending on my mood.

flop_leash_973,

How about the ability to create a new label within the Gmail on Android. It has been a thing forever on the iOS app, but not Android for some odd reason.

flop_leash_973,

Google put more thought into this commercial than they did into their actual messaging strategy and it shows.

They should ask MS how well that Scrooge campaign worked out for them a few years back.

flop_leash_973,

And Mexico was going to pay for that southern boarder wall…

flop_leash_973,

Would be nice if Files would support SMB natively at some point.

If its legal for someone to hypothetically not create a wedding announcement website for gay people because she doesn’t want to serve those kinds of people, then there should be nothing wrong with not wanting to serve armed cops.

Baking food and making coffee could be argued to be every bit as “creative” as a website can be if the lawyer is good enough.

flop_leash_973,

For “creative” endeavors, yes. If “creative” covers baking would probably be down to how good of a argument a lawyer could make is.

flop_leash_973,

Google is making the same mistakes with the watch, fold, and tablet that they originally made when they rebranded the Nexus to the Pixel. Thinking just making it expensive and the customers will just buy it because reasons.

They seem to have come off of that delusion with most of the phones.

They have not provided a reason to buy their expensive, but middle of the road hardware, when cheaper and competitive options already exist from Samsung and Apple in these segments.

Unless someone just dislikes Apple or Samsungs offering what would make the Google offering stand out?

flop_leash_973,

Probably because there is not an easy toggle to migrate a user account to a new home instance. I know there are tools for it. But it won’t matter if there is not a button on a sign up page that says “migrate from another instance” that does it for you programmaticly.

Open source devs: please, please add screenshots...

I beg you, if you are a developer of an open source app or program - add screenshots of your app to the README file. When looking for the perfect app, I had to install dozens of them just to see what the user interface looked like and whether it suits me. This will allow users to decide if the app they choose will suit them…...

flop_leash_973,

Don’t forget to assume what works on macOS also will work fine on a Linux server deployment.

flop_leash_973,

Personally it is a tie between Whittleton Creek, Dartmoor, and New York

I’ll be impressed when they actually allow for the installation of extensions from places other than their addon store like I can on the desktop version. Maybe in another 5 years, if Mozilla lasts that long.

flop_leash_973,

I can smell the overpriced aftershave and beard balm in this picture.

flop_leash_973, (edited )

Shit, if a show doesn’t interest me after 30 minutes I’m done with it. If the story only gets interesting after the forced exposition dump part of the script, then the script needed more work before they filmed it. In my opinion anyway.

flop_leash_973,

To be fair, it WAS a pretty terrible long term economic plan to attempt to systematically murder huge swaths of your citizenry.

It is just that the moral, ethical, humane, etc horrors of that direction are much more important.

flop_leash_973,

And I bet most of it is fake/bots or shilling for an Onlyfans account.

flop_leash_973, (edited )

Yep. People in general have an aversion to doing anything that encourages positive change if it is too inconvenient to how they have become accustom to doing things.

Companies like Alphabet are very aware of this fact. Once the limits of the push back becomes a few weeks of bitching online then everyone gets back to using the products and services, there is no reason to listen to the complaints of the users.

The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices (arstechnica.com)

For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in....

flop_leash_973,

Yep. When it comes to dealing with these types of things, if it is something that can be lived without, the only winning play is to take your ball and go home.

If you’re not willing to go without watching tv, movies, playing new games, etc then these companies already own you.

Personally, I won’t go back to pirating their content. That implies what they make has more value to me than it actually does. If they make it nearly impossible to legally consume their product or service then I will take that as a sign they don’t really want to sell it and move on.

If the masses want to see change, then they should do likewise. Even if it doesn’t change the world, there is real power for a persons mental well being in always being willing to walk away.

flop_leash_973,

They frame it that way to reenforce the notion that ads are an inevitable thing.
