Comparing a person computer to another personal computer

I think voting should be as what was originally set out by Reddit; I don’t know if it’s still in their guidelines. The voting system indicates the relevancy of the contribution and whether it adds to the discussion or not. Spam and off-topic contributions gets shoved to the bottom and everything else rises to the top.

Obviously most people on Reddit these days use it as a like/dislike, agree/disagree voting system as well.

Does Lemmy instance owners and community mods ban people for having a different opinion that’s so benign?

Some Reddit mods attempt to be authoritative and ban people who hold different opinions to themselves. I know I have and I stay out of subs that relate to politics, the news, and anything divisive really.

Cost per month or year?

uBlock and advert blocking DNS user: you have ads?

Just using uBlock is great if you only use a web browser that supports it.

Unfortunately people don’t see voting systems as a method to highlight the relavency of a contribution. They see it as a like/dislike system, and so I see as shut up signal used by most because downvoting a contribution buries it to the bottom where few people will see it.

If it was used for relevancy and quaility then communities would be self regulating by the users. I believe Reddit’s guidelines state(s/d) it’s voting system was meant to be for relevancy, even though most people use it as a like/dislike system.

I also dislike the design layout. Eg. I much prefer the control panel version of Disk Management than the settings purely from an aesthetics stand point. Each disk and their partitions are just easier to see and differentiate from others.

Tidal has new music playlists straight from Tidal and they’re genre specific, which is quite different from Spotify. They’re in a set place within Tidal, so you don’t have to search for the new playlists either.

The sad thing is that it appears a lot of people only like listening to music that they already know. Out of the people I know, I’m the only one that hates listening to the same songs over and over again. I wonder if that’s why many people only seem to like music from their teenage/young adult days 🤔

I read many MBs on Usenet everyday 😉

My phone is 3 years old and is still going strong. The battery feels the same to me as the day I bought it, but I also don’t consume a full battery in a day.

Let’s say OpenAI did actually use Scarlett Johansson’s voice. Who owns the audio that OpenAI used? Scarlett Johansson herself or the movie company that used the audio in their movie(s)? This might be a case of Scarlett Johansson vs the movie company, not Scarlett Johansson vs OpenAI, as OpenAI could have paid for them.

Because of an impersonator?

It really whips the llama’s ass

Regardless of OS, I’d like to see actual user numbers with stats like this because a percentage oversimplifies the landscape.

Have people moved away from (uninstalled) Windows 11 or have people just bought computers with a different OS/older version of Windows on it. To me, these tell a different tale.

I spelled your username wrong. I thought the q was a g. 😂

The penguin is dead 😂

Aegis does automatic backups. I guess you didn’t turn it on?

Open it in a browser that’s not your main browser and clear your cookies afterwards. Or have a browser that automatically removes all cookies on exit.

I hate those types of cookie consent forms because they feel like a dark pattern wanting to make it as excruciating as possible just so you give in and click accept all.

Modern Logitech mice are the same. The cheap Chinese Omron switches in the same mouse look like they’re from different factories.

I have two G604 mice that I bought within a couple of months of each other and one of them started double clicking. So I did a button switch just like you but with Kailh reds. Each mouse had old looking Omron switches.

Steven management?

Edit: I was joking around. Since Seagal sounds very similar to seagull.

Surprised the title didn’t say, “Apple slammed for ear pods that are designed to die”.

Gluing components together so it’s not easy/impossible to repair is different to ‘designing to die’. In my opinion designed to die suggests the ear pods will die prematurely due to intentional design decisions. Gluing components together just means that when the ear pods die, then they cannot be brought back to life and you have to replace them.
