Reddit still holds a ton of valuable info in niche topics which will take Lemmy years to build, and that’s only if the niche communities here ever see the light of day. I’ve deleted most of the useless content I have there, but the more helpful ones I’ll leave for the sake of others like me who still visit occasionally for answers you can’t get anywhere else.

Well, the crackdown has definitely scared the market and wiped out more than $1 trillion worth of stock value. It’s a fascinating case study of the fusion between communism and capitalism, as well as the convergence of centralized control and economic liberalism.
I don’t know if that’s really a good thing, but they have done quite a few decent things like cracking down on the rich for tax evasion (and using the billions “donated” by big corps to provide aid to the lower SES population), and the famous for grooming and sexual assaults. I’m no fan of an authoritarian regime, but there aren’t many places in this world where the rich and famous suffer the consequences of fucking around.
It’s the App Tracking Protection function in Duckduckgo’s browser.
Ahhh ok thanks for that! I was looking in the wrong place all along. Wonder why dev didn’t just place this option in or at least next to Sync Ultra. I’ll probably hold out till I see what Boost has to offer first.
Where do I find the $20 option? That’s all I see on the android app.
This, in the span of 30mins or less. It’s a major turnoff. I’ve considered getting the lifetime ad-free version but I’m not paying USD170 just for an app. Got to give credit where credit’s due though, Sync is hands down the best Lemmy app I’ve used so far.
Just finished Death Stranding. It’s mostly great but somehow crashed a fair bit halfway through the game. No issues or whatsoever in early and late to end game.
Got me curious so I asked ChatGPT how a good conversation on a date looks like:
Sure! Here’s a conversation that could work well on a date:
Person A: Hi there! It’s great to finally meet you in person. How was your day?
Person B: Hi! I’m so happy to meet you too. My day was good, thanks for asking. How about yours?
Person A: It was pretty good, just a usual day at work. By the way, you look amazing tonight!
Person B: Aw, thank you! You’re looking great too. So, tell me, what are your hobbies or interests?
Person A: I love hiking and being outdoors. It’s so refreshing to explore nature. How about you?
Person B: That sounds wonderful! I enjoy reading and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Oh, and I love to travel too.
Person A: Traveling is such a great way to learn and experience new things. Do you have any favorite destinations?
Person B: Definitely! I loved exploring Japan and experiencing its rich culture. But I also enjoy beach destinations for relaxation. What about you?
Person A: Japan sounds fascinating! I’m a fan of beach destinations too, especially in warm tropical places. So, what do you do for work?
Person B: I work as a graphic designer. It’s a creative job, and I enjoy it. How about you?
Person A: That’s cool! I work in marketing. It’s challenging but rewarding. By the way, what kind of music do you like?
Person B: I enjoy a wide range of music, but lately, I’ve been into indie and alternative. How about you?
Person A: Nice! I’m more into classic rock and a bit of jazz. We should totally go to a concert together sometime.
Person B: That sounds like a fantastic idea! I’d love that. So, do you have any upcoming travel plans or exciting events?
Person A: Not at the moment, but I’m planning a trip to the mountains next month. I can’t wait for the adventure.
Person B: That sounds like a fun trip! Let me know how it goes. Maybe we can share travel stories over our next date?
Person A: I’d love that! I’m really enjoying our time together. You’re such an interesting and engaging person.
Person B: Thank you! I feel the same way. I’m glad we got to meet. Looking forward to more great moments together.
The conversation revolves around getting to know each other’s interests, hobbies, and preferences while maintaining a positive and engaged atmosphere. It’s important to be genuinely interested in each other and to share experiences and stories that can create a connection. Remember to be yourself and enjoy the moment!
This is the second time JSAUX backplate gets recommended here. I’m definitely checking it out. Thanks for that!
Thanks for the input. What do you think of something like this?
I just got the dock for it, I am a little concerned I’ll notice any performance issues more when hooked up to a large screen.
I’ve been using it predominantly docked and the performance is quite decent. A few tips:
- You can use the streaming function if you have a decent PC.
- Set device resolution to the resolution you want the game to be playing in. E.g. 1080p or 4k, then set the native in game resolution to something lower. Next, set your scaling filter to FSR instead of Linear. This will scale up the in game resolution to device resolution without sacrificing the internal memory and heating up the hardware.
- Make sure you set your TV to game mode to reduce input lag for controllers.
Aussie here. They have the right to go through all your devices if they suspect you of smuggling or working or wanting to work illegally in Australia. They will read through all your private messages and have them translated if not in English. Even then I’ve never heard of airport security giving a rat’s ass about pirated stuff.
Just as Gaben once said, piracy is almost always a service problem, not a pricing problem.
It’s not that we can’t afford it, we just don’t like getting treated as cash cows and idiots. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile, and before you know it, everything will be locked behind paywalls.
Ngl, after using netflix for so many years, the withdrawal symptoms for my partner (and admittedly myself too) was real when we first got cut off from the family account, but I was adamant on not signing up for a separate account. Turns out you can get around it by using Netflix on PC (and mobile) instead, so hooking up my old laptop to the TV was what we did. I ended up setting up Stremio and Kodi on the PC too and now find ourselves hardly using Netflix anymore.
I wonder if Steam (and phone makers) would make the change a universal one so that people like me who live outside of EU can enjoy the same benefits too. Good job EU.
Congrats! If you’re someone like me who owns a decent PC but no longer enjoys sitting in front of one, definitely get yourself a dock so you can hook it up to your TV. They cost around $30 and is a great investment. Just remember to take the casing off (if you use one) if you’re planning to have your games running at anything between 1080p to 4K, and use FSR to reduce the load. I find the Deck heats up a fair bit even in winter.
Owning a Steam Deck really got me back into gaming. I carry it to work to play during breaks and hook it back up to my TV when I get home.
Got the same one too. Just a quick note for anyone looking to buy one: if you’re planning to travel with it, get the 20,000mah instead of 30,000mah one to stay under the 100Wh limit for most airlines.
Never knew my mutant blue switch keeb would come in handy one day. I’ve lubed the blue switches and added foam and tapes so now it sounds like a clicky-thocky blue-brown switches keeb.
