Computer related pet peeves
  • Screenshots are so much faster than a link though on a phone. I do crop mine before sending, but I send a lot of Screenshots in my group chats.

  • Would you have a drink at lunch and then go back to work?
  • Where I work, it's a non issue. As long as it doesn't impact your work and nobody notices it (foul odor or behaviour), nobody could care less.

  • US says South African ambassador ‘no longer welcome
  • Have you seen his ears? It's Macro Dumbo Rubio

  • Valve "followed" 1.7 million Steam users for over a year, and now reports those gamers spent $20 million on microtransactions and another $73 million on games and DLC
  • I'll give you the csgo gambling. That is fucked up.

    But their refund policy is best in class. I don't care how they got there, it's better than shops give me for actual physical games...

    I'd love to see what you consider an alternative better storefront.

  • Valve "followed" 1.7 million Steam users for over a year, and now reports those gamers spent $20 million on microtransactions and another $73 million on games and DLC
  • Elaborate?

    It's easy to just spout generic steam hate, but I'd love to hear what steam does worse than other pc storefronts.

  • Guide to Removing DRM From Amazon Kindle E-Books
  • To be honest, books are the only form of media I don't pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it's so easy...

  • Guide to Removing DRM From Amazon Kindle E-Books
  • After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)

  • Guide to Removing DRM From Amazon Kindle E-Books
  • Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result

  • Is there a way to hide OF?
  • Scroll past them Ignore them

    You don't mind seeing naked titties if they're from some random model stolen online? But lord, the horror if a girl a tries to make a living from selling pictures and a fantasy without getting ripped off by big companies.

    The brainpower some lemmings expend on absolutely trivial things always keeps boggling my mind tbh.

  • Firefox alternatives?
  • While it was an interesting read, the article is quite outdated and the author is overly negative of literally everything, not just privacy. If a browser has a glowy button, it's horrible because it's too fancy... I feel for the guy...

  • If someone were to ask you for a sign you aren't an AI, what would be the first thing about you or your existence/life that you'd cite or point to?
  • I'd just take a clear stance on something right from the bat, doesn't matter what. AI is always needlessly careful when you ask it to pick a favorite color/food/soccer team/religion/skincolor/country/...

  • Japan ‘on verge of no longer functioning’ after birth rate plummets to record new low
  • The weird thing is that once you get a foot in the door, Japanese immigration policies actually aren't that strict. You just need a guarantor (company) to be willing to hire you.

    The language barrier and hesitancy of companies to hire non-Japanese is the actual barrier, not so much the immigration policies themselves. The government could ofcourse encourage companies to hire foreigners...but Japan changes at a glacial pace.

    I'm sure they'll be ready to deal with the new world under trump by 2035-40

  • Emergency disable biometric on Android?
  • I tried using it. Putting my phone down on any surface would trigger it. Made my biometrics completely useless. Too sensitive on my device, even on the lowest settings :(

  • Clicks keyboard cases are coming to Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, and Motorola Razr+ [Gallery]
  • I've seen multiple ppl review them and say they are complete shit.

    The lack of staggering between the rows would drive me nuts. Fuck that...

  • John Oliver launches "Make yourself less valuable to Meta" website, suggests Signal, Mastodon, Pixelfed, and BlueSky as Meta alternatives
  • My Instagram is full of fitness content (and good looking people tbh). Nothing comes even remotely close on pixelfed. No offence to federated social media, but we all ain't good looking :) (or suck at using filters...)

    It's still a very long way off from taking over Instagram.

  • Is Lemmy community nice to new users?
  • Lemmy has a hardon for FOSS, and an irrational hatred for windows.

    Aside from that, it's quite nice imo

  • The only Super Hero movie they won't make
  • The irony of this movie poster mockup being AI generated cracks me up.

  • Age Restricted Youtube
  • Being overly Paranoia? Can't think of another valid reason.

  • Lenovo Tab review – 10-inch tablet as an affordable alternative for school, college, and the living room
  • What casual use can you do on windows/Linux that you can't on android?

    And Android is so much better than windows/Linux for touch that it's not even a competition.

  • Traveling to the US - How to prepare

    I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

    I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

    Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

    require model/prompt to post

    I love the content posted here. As someone that has recently started dabbling in AI image Gen, it would be an amazing learning tool to see a) which model was used to generate the image and b) which prompt was given. With a) being most interesting imo.

    Is there any reason this is not required?

    (hope it's OK to post this here, didn't see anything in the rules about it)
