No longer available and no longer integrated are not equivocal.

I am fine using my high beams in neighborhoods because those damn kids come out of nowhere, and the high beams light up more of the road. Black out curtains if it bothers you imo.

Yeah but it’s so easy to rip on YouTube, don’t you see how edgy it is?

So dystopian. The number of novels I’ve read where Advertisements existing on a screen has become the main source of revenue, what a bizarre science fiction fantasy land that would be…

So you want someone to broadcast, and you’re willing to pay for it, but not willing to support the content creators in any way?

YouTube premium, only time I hear ads are when my coworkers crank their shit too loud in the office, or when I have a brand new phone and have forgotten to log in.

Worth every red nickel.

“streaming is worse than cable now” is it though?

I stream for weeks on end without a single ad, watching only what I want. I go to an older person’s house and I hear the same friggin commercial jingles, the same canned studio laughter, and shows that are designed for the stupidest common denominator.

I grew up in the era of Saturday morning cartoons. My brain was liquidified on cereal commercials. I won’t allow cable into my house under any circumstances.

But I do agree that we should learn from too easily replacing the working with the next big thing without any regulations on how the next big thing is allowed to operate

Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech

I just can’t trust innovations and discoveries coming from China, I’m excited, but I’ll hold my breath until it’s been replicated by a less untrustworthy source

What about a steam deck?

Sounds like you have a bit of a hate boner.

Overwhelming the noise is another option, a white noise soundtrack might be a decent bet. Otherwise you’re going to want to go with ear plugs.

You’re asking for twice as much noise into your ears?

I’m certain there are recordings of background noise, but none of it will do what you’re asking. It’d be like trying to cancel a recording of your voice by talking over it. A fun experiment to get the grandkids to do when they go home. Better yet, on the car ride home.

It’s as if this headline were written to stir discussion on lemmy.

I’m convinced those who want to be fearful of things will immediately latch onto a new source of misinformation.

This isn’t to say Facebook is good, or that we shouldn’t try to have stronger punishment for misinformation that leads to public harm, just that “people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals”

No, because words that use repetition of the same series of letters requires a delay between each letter input, is was especially annoying when in the pocket because if you were going too quickly it was very easy to place 1 letter that was a combination of multiple letters.

Heavily rose tinted glasses you have there.

Also enjoy the 50 pixel per inch screen resolution, scroll-everything navigation, terrible Internet browsing, no video streaming, and incredibly proprietary (if any) internal media player. I’m not saying the swipe keyboard hasn’t begun becoming enshittified (which auto completes and is a brand new term) and it’s slightly annoying, but I would take today’s phone over 10 years ago, and 10 years ago over 20 years ago (even a full keyboard BlackBerry, or a t9) any day of the year and twice on leap day.

My wife was thinking between the Rivian s3 and the Fisker as our next vehicle.

This makes me sad to hear.

As a citizen of the US, fuck yeah Canada, maybe we will do the same someday… Maybe I won’t cry at the cheese section some day…

I sure do, in fact I’ve emptied more helium tanks in my career than 99.99% of the population I’m certain (10 years in gas chromatography). I know that it’s more profitable to sell 99% pure helium as “party use” than it is to sell the quality of helium I use, the difference is I use enough of it that there’s still some profit there, (the same reason the US of A sold off the “extra reserves”) and as long as it’s an unlimited resource (short term it certainly seems to be from the capitalist mindset) they’re going to milk every cent of profit out of it as quickly as possible, so they’ll still make some and sell it to me.
