  • Y'know, sometimes people ask questions on public forums rather than just searching on Google because they want to start a conversation.

  • I really enjoyed that. I've seen things like it before. What are art pieces like this called?

  • What I really want to know is what you guys use for getting torrents for entire seasons of shows, or even the entire show at once. I'm not new to piracy, I'm just new to talking about it with people.

  • It's a bit of self referencial humor. Like 15 years ago zuck did a live stream or something. On that Livestream he kept awkwardly talking about how much he loves sweet baby Ray's bbq sauce.

    I think he did that because knows how detached he comes off as. He was a weirdo before he became a billionaire, and being a part of a separated class of society only made that worse. He also knows how everyone on earth thinks that he's a distrustful person. Plus he's just clearly not comfortable being on camera.

    It was basically a failed attempt to come off as relatable and down to earth by sharing something that he has a passion for. Which apparently is grilling. I get it, I like grilling too. But I won't ever be tasked with trying to use that one interest I have as my entire public personality.

    He tried something like that before. The reason he wears plain looking tshirts and pants is because it makes him come off as "like one of us" and that he remembers that he came from nothing like the rest of us. But then a few years ago it came out that the black Tshirts he wears costs like $400 each and so does the rest of his outfit.

  • Yeah that's true. I'm glad that a big portion of all phones being released right now have oled screens, but it makes me miss the high quality ips LCD displays we used to get. Now you have the choice of a really sub par LCD, or an OLED/Super AMOLED display. I looked at the screen on my 2013 Nexus 7 and my Nvidia Shield K1 the other day and they hold up so so so well. It's a shame I can't just upgrade the internals. I'd kill for a Shield X1 or whatever chip will be going into the next switch.

  • I mean this post has 1200 upvotes. Considering most people don't engage with the voting system that makes me think that there's a decent amount of people here. At the very least it means there's a lot of people here who engage with the community. More come every day. If this post were on Reddit, it would be on r/all right now. That's not bad for a community with a fraction of the users.

    I think that in 10 years this place will be doing alright. I think the growth that's happened in the last few months won't last, but I think that growth will still steadily happen. The reddexodus doesn't happen every day but with most social media platforms shitting their geriatric pants more and more lately, I think a consistent flow of refugees will come here.

  • Kind of. An LCD display has one backlight which illuminates the entire screen with one brightness. So a black screen and a white screen will use the same amount of electricity if both screens are set to the same brightness, even though to us a white screen looks brighter. Using a dark theme won't save any electricity, but it won't use any more either.

    Other display types use self illuminating pixels. Like OLEDs and plasma screens. So a screen which is mostly black uses a lot less electricity than a screen which is mostly any other color but black. Using a dark theme would use substantially less electricity.

    Even a CRT would use less electricity if you switch to dark theme while still using one, because the cathode ray wouldn't have to light up the black pixels.

  • Consider using ublock origin

  • I was looking into patching the reddit app with revamped manager. That might be able to help you. I decided to just leave reddit entirely.

  • Until just a year or two ago a 40gb update would take as much as 3 or 4 days to download and it would take up almost all of my data. Even most of America still has shitty internet.

  • I wanna see RIF for lemmy but I'm actually pretty satisfied with liftoff so far. It needs some more optimization but when it's working quickly it's a pleasure to use.

  • I really hope that a more efficient cooling method comes out soon. Ideally I wish it wasn't so hot out but being environmentally friendly isn't profitable enough for those in charge. Hopefully selling a new efficient cooling method is profitable.

  • I use a series x controller for basically every game I've played on every platform, since 2021.

    For a while I used a razer kishi on my phone but it wore out after about a year. Now it only works for a few minutes before disconnecting, then it won't work again unless I unplug it for a few hours.

  • Is it really that bad over there now? I haven't been since RIF died

  • You guys mind if I try something?

    Test

    I wanna see if we can embed a link in text here like you can on reddit

  • I'm really nostalgic for Click. Really the only ones I didn't like were grownups and grownups 2. That's just because I'm a hipster and can't enjoy things everyone else likes.

  • Maybe I just have a bad opinion but I've thoroughly enjoyed almost all of his movies. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Sometimes it's nice to just watch something that's relatable.

  • Hmmm

  • There's no way a grizzly bear could beat a rhino. The largest grizzly bear isn't even a quarter of the weight of your average rhino. It would be as fair of a fight as you vs a grizzly bear.

  • I hope so, but only if the option to install other OS's remains an easy option. I love android but installing a different operating system on my phone is so much of a pain in the dick that it's not even worth it.

    I feel like I'd probably avoid a handheld if the option to install windows wasn't there, even if I don't end up using it much.

    If my choice was a default windows install with the option to install steamOS myself, or a default steamOS install with no other options, I'm choosing the windows install every time.
