More like $126, if you know what I mean

I don’t care that enhanced Bitrate is premium only. I do care that you still need to click “advanced resolution settings” to access this even for premium users on mobile.

The four horsemen of selling out:

• Big Pharma

• Big Oil

• The military-industrial complex

• Surveillance tech companies

We had most of this with Windows 7 and probably XP as well. Those used a fraction of the RAM, disk space, and CPU time for largely the same effect as today.

2024: What are you doing with 16GB RAM and 300% CPU at 5.4GHz?

• Running some random process introduced with Windows 11 that adds literally nothing to the users experience other than heat and fan noise

The next step of the crisis (if it continues) is probably a Harley… I’m already thrifting leather jackets to look cooler and be more confident…

I got a used motorcycle semi-recently because I was a bit bored and unsatisfied with my life, and I had a bit of money from internships. I’m a college student. Guess I’ve hit an early midlife crisis, huh.

NNN is literally just a challenge. It doesn’t matter if you nut or not. Heck, most people only do it for the challenge and the “big nut” when they lose or after they win.

Motorcycles: Excuse me

Sports cars: Hold my beer

Planes:

It’s literally the opposite in my place. The cold spigot will release 90F water when it’s 60F outside. The hot spigot is even hotter.

I stopped using BeReal a few months ago after they kept adding unwanted features (the entire point of this app was its simplicity) and my friends were leaving the app. Sad to see it has these kind of ads now.

It really depends on:

1. How intrusive the ads are
2. If there is other invasive tracking
3. How “corporate” the website is (SEO garbage AI spam vs genuine indie blogger)
4. The quality of the article

But for some reason, 75% of the time I decide to willingly turn off my ad blocker, there’s nothing to block.

Fun fact: In most states, this length is 40ft, but there are some exceptions, like CA, where it’s 24ft or 48ft depending on the road.

I’m sorry driving isn’t fun, it was never meant to be once we obliterated mass transit in the US. It’s meant to get you to the destination, preferably safely.

You’ve never been in a fun car on a fun twisty back road. This is what driving should be, as we should not be dependent on driving to get everywhere.

I’m okay with paying for Internet services if the price is right… I’m not okay with also getting milked (data mined) for profit in addition to paying.

Could I see the numbers?

Think about why you joined Lemmy. Reddit has been getting greedier and greedier, so you left to a place where the grass is greener. The same thing is true with Windows and Linux (and Linux is also much more big and mature than Lemmy). It attracts the same kind of people.

100 times this.

I think I have a solid grasp of C++ and its manual memory management, but give me a build error and I’ll have zero clue how to fix it.

Perhaps some components of the game can be open-sourced, especially regarding modding APIs and whatnot. Still allows them to keep some things closed for a while, but could expand the mods and optimization even further.

I bounce between lawful neutral and chaotic neutral. Huh.
