1·10 days agoI have no problem competing with kbm players using controller. Gyro plus touch pad on DS4/Steam controller is a game changer. I regularly get crowns on Fortnite.

Technology@lemmy.world•Signal warns it would pull out of Canada if made to comply with lawful access billEnglish
7·1 month agoMaybe we should be looking at the larger picture here this is exactly why Signal or any other privately owned centralized messaging system can never be trusted. Stop using Signal or WhatsApp.
Look at alternatives like Matrix that are immune to this sort of thing.

Android@lemmy.world•Google is requiring mandatory developer verification for all Android apps in 2026English
5·3 months agoI was a windows phone user and the last Windows version is to blame for killing their phones. They released a half baked platform that literally required SOAP for all network traffic. No raw TCP or UDP access just SOAP… a horrible standard based on XML with like 10x the overhead. 6.1 was probably the best but even that was plagued by compatibility issues.

1·4 months agoThe truth is most pixel devices had the ability to do this but google kneecapped their pixel devices to push chromecast.

2·4 months agoI just did the same thing 100 bucks 32gb ram I had lying around, still very cheap. Managed 4.7 GHz overclock with my existing 8350 cooler. It’s the best CPU with DDR3 though I hear there are comparable xeons.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantir’s Peter Thiel SurfaceEnglish
3·5 months agoThey definitely can track you just based on your RF profile a lot of big stores have these orb things that aggregate everything… Bluetooth, Cellular, WiFi signals and can track you wherever you go in the store along with video, at which point you buy alcohol and a computer scans your ID or you use a credit card and bam you are fucked. ID barcodes also include your address. It’s also the easiest one to fake.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.
8·6 months agoAt home I leave it down, of I’m at a dive bar or something I leave the seat up so the next guy won’t piss all over the seat. That benefits everyone.

Compared to what? Most services do not run PID1

3·9 months agoYou can just start the path with a quote and it will auto complete with spaces. I spend a lot of time correcting files with spaces replaced now. The spaces are better. I think music is the most annoying, since I like to use tools like EasyTag to extract metadata from filenames.
So please stop.naming_files.like_this.its_stupid
I just mentioned some positive facts about Obama on lemmy.ml memes and I got called a Nazi and banned. We got flavors of liberals who hate each other when we need to be working together. It was really strange being called a liberal Nazi.
If we get hung up on every small thing we are never gonna be happy at some point you have to recognize that people have different points of view we can’t be alienating people who are on the same team…

News@lemmy.world•City leaders reject National Guard in Memphis: ‘We need resources’
2·10 months agoThey chose the wrong city if they want real political violence. That’s not the kind of city that Memphis is. Even during the BLM movement, Memphis was one of the most peacefully protested cities in America. They have the most experience dealing with racism and bigotry.

Technology@lemmy.world•Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigeratorEnglish
1·10 months agoOh it has internet time sync. But the problem is… connecting to wifi with invalid time is problematic. There are internet check endpoints with certificates that can’t be verified. On the off chance that it does connect, I get a zillion certificate errors from different background processes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigeratorEnglish
4·10 months agoHonestly, it doesn’t cost much more than fridge without a screen. I was trying to buy an LG with the window that you can knock on to see inside (not screen) but it was out of stock… and ended up with one of these fridges. The software is stupid though, I use it to play music sometimes when I’m cooking. It has some menu options for controlling the fridge too. I would love to load up custom ROM though… What annoys me the most is lack of RTC battery, because the time resets whenever there’s a power outage.

United States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Revealed: Trump administration retreats on combating human trafficking and child exploitation
3·10 months agoHere we have it. This is what I’ve believed all along. This obsession with immigration and borders. ICE apprehending good people, tax payers with families. Legal immigrants. Enforcing border security, all it does it make it easier to traffic human beings. All this effort just makes it more dangerous to cross the border. Because the actual human traffickers, the gangs and abusers that facilitate illegal border crossings… They use fear of consequences to control people. People resort to the worse possible option, because it’s the only option they have. The only difference now, is that with ICE, we’ve formally turned human trafficking into a “legitimate” business. The rich now have fast food access to our children. A limitless supply of women and children separated from their parents. Free to be bought and sold as the rich see fit.
It’s absolutely disgusting. USA literally has the biggest human trafficking industry in the world. Brought about by a man who is a felon, a rapist and a variable predator of children. I won’t shed any tears for the people who support any of this. I hope the hatred they have caused, the outcry of the everyday man, can silence these individuals forever. These people deserve to rot in prison.



So annoying that technology is so much more expensive these days. My steam deck is getting old and still appreciating in value its not how this is supposed to work. Like what the fuck. I am really fucking pissed. My old laptop from 2022 has 64GB of ram. I shouldn’t have to beg for more than 16GB of ram. Glad I built my server before all this nonsense started my $400 memory kit now retails for $4000. AI is complete fucking bullshit. It can’t be trusted at all. Every single google has wrong answers. Can’t even find legitimate websites anymore. We are so fucked. LLMs aren’t good and they never will be. Like yeah they can be useful but everyone is using them the wrong way. I started poisoning my reddit posts out of spite. Fuck them all. Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhh
