FUCK, I use 8bitdo for Anki bro. It’s a study tool, not just for gaming.

Amen amen, and an extra holy amen for good measure.

With the push to please investors, user experience will likely suffer even more.

I don’t think he is watching. Clearly no one is moderating earth atm.

There is also an inherent kind of entitlement that people have. Putting the lack of visibility of privacy on the totem pole of priority, people like free things. When you start to charge them for an objectively worse service, you tend to piss off your user base.

Better than the burning garbage inferno that is xitter.

i can’t wait to play as mike truk

Well said, and well put. Sometimes it feels a little lonely on Lemmy and the fediverse, but I feel good contributing to a decentralized web.

I’m gonna shill for FreshRSS and Feed Me. Been a fantastic combination so far.

Self hosting FreshRSS allows me to curate shit I care about. Even better, it’s private aggregation. Sometimes though, I miss the conversation around these topics. For that, Lemmy exists.

So I was listening to a Bloomberg Tech Podcast about this. Someone from some random media group actually said “consumer demand for ad supported content over netflix’s usual high production value dramas is up”

For some reason, that statement was both incredibly threatening and incredibly ominous

I would laugh if only this wasn’t a terrifying plausibility. Imagine you have pneumonia and need a chest x-ray to confirm that was denied because you were out of network. Imagine there is no recourse because all customer service has been outsourcedto a very friendly chat bot who will kindly tell you ‘DENIED’ after arguing with it for 30 minutes.

Amen

I am new to daily driving Linux and the DE environment I chose was KDE. Has been absolutely fantastic so far.

Excited to see what’s new, especially since I just joined.

A friend of mind in IT suggested revouninstaller. I have never used it in practice but he says it might be helpful in this case.

I, for one, want to thank Elon Musk for graciously backing up my highly sensitive government ID (that has my birthdate, eye color, height, weight), my biometric data, and likeness! It is such a nice thing to centralize all my most sensitive data into one giant honeypot waiting to meltdown. It is made even more appealing after he fired the entire staff responsible for maintaining this honeypot!

I wonder if that would be taken to court if true.
