  • Wait out Trump.. I would bet that there will not be a fair election in 4 years' time.

  • The part of my brain responsible for my previously irrational distrust of Telegram is feeling so vindicated right now.

    • Nintendo Is ‘Actively Assessing’ What a Trade War Means for the Switch 2

    Jump

  • I mean, if 450 is hit with a 24% (Japanese) tariff, you're looking at $558 at least. I'm not sure from which country Switch 2's are imported into the USA from. If Vietnam or Cambodia that would be crazy

    • are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • The API killing my preferred third party app did it for me. And the blatant astroturfing/karma farming also meant that it wasn't a good experience on there.

    I will say though, the Reddit hivemind effect is still present on Lemmy. Though I think there's less tepid posts to raise account karma here.

    • Europe proposes backdoors in encrypted platforms under new security strategy

    Jump

  • Exactly. Introducing vulnerabilities to everyone means that foreign powers will be able to use it to spy on EU citizens as well. Fucking bananas.

    • YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin.

  • While I agree with you, ChatGPT is the one that people really know about in the mainstream. It is Normie AI

    • Is "AI and robots taking over" an actual possible outcome of the current race to produce "smart" LLMs ?

  • This is kind of the less powerful variant of the paperclip problem.

  • That's really cool that he's happy with what he's got. Something that us adults should really learn from.

    • Power is not energy: why the difference matters [Technology Connections]

    Jump

  • Yeah, what the hell is this video subject. I honestly thought this stuff was common sense.

    • Let's discuss: Grand Theft Auto

    Jump

  • Adding swimming into san andreas was a big deal to me.

    I've played them all on release since GTA3 and of course I loved 3/vice city, but the addition of stats and being able to get jacked meant I was able to basically live in the game.

    • Which Distribution and Desktop Environment should I use?

    Jump

  • I think your assessment of Linux Mint with XFCE is a really good first choice. Cinnamon could be worth a try though as the UI is a bit more modern looking. I'm biased towards XFCE because it looks fine and runs extremely well on old laptops. I've got a laptop from 2008 running it (it's my only computer that still has a disc drive) and it's honestly a usable machine again.

    • Netflix Says Kids Don't Care About Consoles: '8-Year-Olds Aren’t Dreaming of PlayStation 6'

    Jump

  • On the one hand, I agree that consoles get less relevant and important with each new generation. On the other hand, Netflix gaming isn't what kids care about. Most kids I know play Roblox, minecraft and fortnite on underpowered PCs.

    They don't care about the new GPU launches either because even average home PCs play these games.

    • Which Distribution and Desktop Environment should I use?

    Jump

  • I think XFCE Mint is a good experience. That said, depending on how W10 has been running for you, Cinnamon won't be worse than that.

    • If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah for sure. I think if Gnome works for people they should use it. I'm not stoked on the situation of Gnome Extensions being needed for some pretty basic customisations, adding instability to the DE though.

  • Gnome has the apple philosophy that the user conforms to technology, not the other way around.
