Agreed we gotta vote blue down ballot in order for any real change to be possible. Im hoping that people realize what a threat the republican party has become to the very soul of what America stands for. So here’s hoping.

I got an original Nintendo new for Christmas.

You need to try a deep fried turkey that’s been injected with seasoning. And maybe try other people’s sides whoever has been making your food sounds awful at cooking

On top of that companies used inflation as an excuse to raise prices higher than they should have.

Yet they neutered solar for consumers with Nem3.

So they just made the live action movie into an animated movie?

Amen! For a backwater world seems that every important event originates from that dusty rock.

I assume it has to do with the fact that along the equator it’s typically warmer and the equator runs through the northern part of South America. So if temperatures go up they’ll go up there first and head north south respectively. I don’t think they meant Souther Hemisphere as much as they mean Southern Mexico / South America.

From comments I’ve read in other threads some lemmy instances show the number of up and down votes respectively.

That’s still a job that previously would have gone to a human.

Yes, but no. Cable didn’t used to let you watch all seasons of a specific show on any given day and time of your choosing.

I also was initially very confused why Mario was upset about the rainbow flag.

It already does on my laptop. They also keep setting my default browser back to Edge. I don’t use my laptop much anymore and keeping up with the BS of having to disable stuff I don’t want running has become tiresome to the point where I don’t even want to use it.

I know, I know, something something install Linux! Question I have there is my laptop is a gaming laptop so my question to all you Linux folks is. Can I continue to game using Linux. Will it work with my Nvidia Graphics card and Steam. If so I might consider it.

Yes I use TikTok. I don’t watch short form content on any other platforms. I started on TikTok back in 2019. During the pandemic it was great. In the last year or so it’s become a lot more TikTok Store ads. Which I guess was inevitable for a free platform that doesn’t charge you to sign up or access it. Just like FB or Instagram they make their money off user data and ads. The only other problem I’ve had recently is it seems that they don’t serve up the content of the people I follow as much as they used to.

The TikTok Algorithm is very tailored to what you interact with. So to me it’s always very telling when people spout off what they see when they use TikTok. My For You Page (FYP) is all DIY, woodworking, funny dogs/cats, and married people humor. While my wife’s FYP is dancing, new music/bands, and other funny humor.

I think it’s an amazing advancement and that’s awesome for a quadriplegic person to interact with the world.

The part that I haven’t heard anyone mention is what is the life cycle of these chips. Computers and cell phones all become outdated so quickly. Are recipients guaranteed upgraded chips as they become available?

I was reading an article recently about people who have had implants in their eyes that help them to see become obsolete. One because the company stopped supporting the specific version that was in the patient. The other because the company had gone out of business.

It’s a step in the right direction. But I don’t see anything of substance coming from this. The U.S. has become a Corporate Oligarchy. Apple has enough money and desire to fight this through appeals and lobbying. Pay attention to who they lobby and make sure they are voted out of office. It’s going to take a long time to correct what has happened over the last 20 or so years. It will require slow gradual change.

I’ve been on the Sony side of things my entire life. I have the disc version of the PS5. I however also have a gaming PC and play a select few titles there.

What concerns me is the lack of physical media that we are headed towards. The entire Software as a Service model drives me crazy because at anytime licenses can change and you’ll lose access to things. I’ve read about it happening with things recently on PS where people that bought and owned movies from the PS Store suddenly the license expired and Sony didn’t renew so they just went in and removed those from people’s library. Then there’s the whole issue some people have with their PS+ games not working suddenly despite having a current subscription and the game in their library.

I’ve seen it happening with Streaming Services as well and I understand that all of them are just paying for limited term licenses of the content. But at the end of the day I can go to my physical game/movie library and pop the disc in and they can’t take that away from me.

I think if some sort of consumer protections were in place to stop those kinds of issues. I could get on board with not owning the disc. I saw the winds of change coming when Google made Stadia. I also knew that Google wouldn’t be in it for the long term as I’ve watched them start and stop services for close to two decades now. So I didn’t buy into it.

I will say though I have some friends that have XBox Games Pass and I can understand the appeal. You buy a controller and any PC with a decent internet connection can play a massive library of games. So that is definitely the future of gaming whether I like it or not.

As for the exclusives I for one welcome a day when everything is cross play and we all can game together in one happy ecosystem. Except that m&k will always be superior to a controller and I don’t know how they could level that playing field.

I have the first hammer I bought 20 years ago.

The only thing I’ve ever done on Amazon Games was link it to PSN so I would get periodic cash in GTAV online.
