Earbuds
  • On the other other hand, we already had the option of choosing Bluetooth headphones back when most phones still offered headphones jacks.

    Truth is, there are obviously pros and cons of each, but it just sucks that we no longer have the choice without jumping through extra hoops.

  • South Park won't return until after the election, creators 'don't know what more we could possibly say about Trump'
  • So you were fine with them making fun of anyone and everyone else, but as soon as it came to something you care about, they suddenly went too far!

    They made an episode about chef leaving because of the same stupid shit and scientology.

    Get over it, it's a stupid cartoon that makes fun of everyone. You don't have to like it, but if that's your reason for being turned off from it, that's stupid.

  • Moderation conflict involving c/vegan
  • It's almost like Lemmy is just another social media site with the same types of people as every other social media site. Regardless of how seemingly a lot of Lemmy users view themselves and Lemmy as a whole.

  • Olympia 2024 100 m Men Final Photo Finish
  • The background/track here is completely white because you are only seeing the finish line. It's the same effect, but the finish line is solid white. So the background is solid white.

    And the shadows, you gotta remember you are only seeing the slices of the shadows as they were at the finish line itself at different points of time so to might get part of an arm and part of a leg at different angles that are then stitched together.

    Edit: this might be better.. the shadows in front aren't being projected ahead. They are just happening at the line earlier than the shadows behind the runners. The only physical dimension here is up and down, right and left represent time, not forward or backwards.

  • How could this be?!
  • Nah, brad pitt absolutely does not look like he is 35. He may look very good for his age, but not that good.

    Your perception of what a 35 year old should look like may have changed as you also aged though.

  • This is not a typo: The world's fastest gaming monitor may well be this ancient IIyama CRT unit, pushed [modded] to 700 Hz at a glorious 120p resolution
  • You would honestly probably be fine after a short while with lower frame rates. Guaranteed you used to game at those slower frame/refresh rates and never knew better.

    I absolutely agree there's still benefit to be had above 60, but 60 is still mostly fine. Unless I guess all you do is ultra competitive gaming where twitch reactions are necessary.

  • Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets
  • I think it's entirely possible that they chose to compare to a 3 year old phone not because they are only targeting those upgrades to people with 3 years old phones, but because it sounds a lot more impressive that way instead of just the smaller incremental improvements over last years model.

    It should also be noted that Apple admitted at one point to purposefully slowing down older iPhones too, which very clearly was done to get people to upgrade. If that's not planned obsolescence I don't know what is.

    You talk about them as if they are some benevolent entity, when that's just very much not the case.

  • Paving the way - How did Trek inspire you?
  • I know this is meant as a more serious thread, but all I can think of is this quote from futurama...

    It taught me so much. Like, how you should accept people, whether they be black, white, Klingon or even female... But most importantly, when I had no friends, it made me feel like maybe I did.

    For me, I would say I just have a lifelong interest in space and a desire to know what's out there.

  • Yes, I have made some complaints. Stuff like this, and people like you are one of the main things holding me back from embracing this as a platform. But you said every one of my comments. Did you stop reading after the first one?

    And yes, I would like a cookie, do you have one?

    Anyways, I dont feel like having a fight with an internet stranger. So, do you like video games?

  • Ouch, stalked my profile for your response here. And its not even true.

    But yea, calling me out for complaining when your whole post is a complaint. Good job. You are definitely part of the reason I dont participate much on lemmy.

  • I get the sense that it's really not about people having leftist or non American points of views removed, but that people are sick of the extreme shit they post and their attitudes. And it's seemingly entire instances dedicated to being that extreme, not just some individual users.

    Personally though, since users have the tools now to block instances, I don't think there's really as much of a need to defederate unless the instance is specifically doing something more than just posting their views. So I agree with you there. Except that having to go out of your way to block stuff like that makes for an experience that isn't always great. And for me it's been something that doesn't really make me want to participate or use the platform much.

  • Can banner we get banner ads adjusted?
  • I am a software developer, I understand what goes into developing software. He is allowed to value his work at whatever he thinks it's worth.

    But as users we are allowed to think he is asking too much or pushing too many ads or whatever. It's not disrespect, it's an opinion, about a mobile app that now has ads on the main feed and in every comment section, that only works based on a platform that is very specifically known for being open and not pushing ads. And it's an especially high price for an app that is still very under development and has only recently just gotten an update for the first time in months, even when some features had stopped working.

    I have no issues with him asking to be compensated for his work, and I am glad he makes it available for free, but the ads are getting intrusive, and we are all entitled to our opinions. I don't think there was anything disrespectful about the way I shared my opinion, but I do think it's crap to tell us we are being disrespectful just because you don't share that opinion.
