Exactly. Have that as an emergency option or a free substitute to streaming music and news. The more options there are, the better. Surely, this is not relevant for the US, where radio kinda sucks nowadays, and Billboard Top 100 are put on repeat, but in European countries, Middle East, Asia etc. this kind of thing is invaluable.

There is absolutely a subconscious super-brain within our minds that we can sometimes observe and even control to an extent. It can calculate things a lot faster that we consciously do. It’s how we dream of elaborate things, it’s how we can approximate distances, it’s how our intuition works. It can be turned into your personal assistant with enough training and awareness. I believe you can become a genius if you train this part of the mind to interact with your conscious.

Yeah, I think that my interpretation was an oversimplification and things are pretty nuanced. I gotta learn more about this stuff if I want to achieve the things I dream of. Thanks for the insight!

If 4chan made Trump win in 2016, Twitter might make Trump win in 2024. Which is a scary thought. Just imagine the level of control one rich man can have over the information highway, Twitter, one of the biggest social media sites in the world, used still by many politicians, journalists and reporters on both sides. It’s happening.

For those who are paranoid about this - some of you have a Facebook account, and half of you have a Google-filled smartphone. Privacy is important, but IMO there should be a balance between convenience and privacy - unless you actually do stuff that requires the utmost privacy or you need to stay fully anonymous everywhere as much as possible.

Division of identity - that is, having unique profiles/identities for different types of things you do on the web, using alias emails and anonymous email for certain things etc. - is a more viable strategy than trying to be 100% anonymous on the web.

Commercial social media that is free does and will track your activity on the site, whether for personalized ads or for algorithm purposes. Lemmy and Mastodon don’t because they’re FOSS, and don’t run on ads (99.9% of the time).

Now, you can’t perma-crack your new PC with a “real” HWID key, then years later reinstall Windows and keep your “real” license anymore! And you can’t upgrade anymore on that new PC either! You have to patch Windows every time!

The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet::Mozilla has announced the release of an update to its Firefox browser. In version number 118, users will find a significant innovation - a built-in translator

It’s really neat IMO. It should’ve been there earlier

I already know Russsian so that’s not a problem for me lol

The same stuff happens on Twitter - some guy on the platform scaremongers about Twitter banning artists for making fanart of copyrighted characters, and people start copying and pasting the same exact disclaimer even though I am sure many of them know it doesn’t work that way. And I don’t think it’s just “boomers”.

The symbol in the middle was a blindspot? The only thing remotely resembling a flag was on the sides, and even then it surely didn’t look like the 6-color Rainbow Flag.

It’s like corrupting 8-bit games, isn’t it?

AndreTelevise ,

I think they’re just pushing people to use OneNote (which is free).

AndreTelevise ,

Do they have variable weight? Are they planning to add that? Because I’d really like that for quick sketching and doodling.

AndreTelevise ,

Honestly not that bad if I want to use it for notetaking. But not as full-featured.

Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...

  1. It’s copying and not stealing, and honestly current copyright law is stupid and broken
  2. Decreasing the profits of big corporations like Hollywood movie studios is not immoral and shouldn’t be illegal
  3. There are some shows or movies I can’t find in my country legally
  4. With increased competition in the streaming market, it costs as much as a cable subscription to get all the content I used to be able to get from one streaming service

This is just word replacement of an existing article (forward = ahead, games = video games, passed (away) = handed, points = factors) done to avoid DMCA claims, whether it was done by AI or an algorithm is irrelevant. The AI was used to reword the article, and it’s good at doing that, but why those words in particular were replaced is beyond my comprehension.

AndreTelevise ,

Same with Twitter. Now you generally just stick to websites based on the communities you’re in. The only monopoly left to crack now is YouTube.

WordPad was a fast and efficient way to view doc files without loading into LibreOffice or any other office suite, or to make rich text documents quickly. But alas, we have to go to the cloud for our notes now…

The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore. (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn’t work with anything. It’s mildly infuriating because today, I can’t still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday....

AndreTelevise ,

In my country nobody (or at least, most people don’t) buy their own routers, it’s always a subscription on top of the existing internet service

Meta discontinues Messenger Lite for Android, it will be unavailable after Sep 18. Users need to install regular Messenger app instead (beehaw.org)

I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app....

AndreTelevise ,

In our country, texting (through the built-in Messenger app) is mostly done as an emergency measure, as most people here use Meta’s other messaging app, WhatsApp.

Or perhaps Web 3.1. But seriously, I would call it the Federated Web.

It’s optional and only intended towards Premium users, but concerning nonetheless. This ID-gathering is probably not even regulated in a lot of countries - I haven’t found any info on such regulation existing. And a migration is in fact happening - but it’s more of just people being less interested in the new ‘X’ form of Twitter with all of its restrictions. That part of the cake is distributed between platforms like Mastodon/*key, Threads, Bluesky and Tumblr, not to mention Facebook still being a thing too.

AndreTelevise ,

Twitter, Tumblr and Bluesky seem to fill the Twitter void for me fairly well, as I am mostly participating in the Furry and Sonic communities which are some of the first to move to these platforms.

AndreTelevise ,

Now that is an everything app I can get behind.

AndreTelevise ,

That was the first thing I noticed.

Individuals are constantly surrounded by potentially meaningful information; however, their ability to use this information is consistently constrained by cognitive systems that are capable of attending to and processing only a small amount of the information available at any given time

100% this.

People, if an instance is crumbling, sign up to another instance! When you are able to use lemmy.world again, use lemmy2opml/lemmy_migrate (or any other tool that works, there’s a list on the Awesome Lemmy Github page to migrate your followed communities to the new instance.

This begins with ABC, will end with other media resources. But I doubt Mastodon will be the future. Facebook and Instagram seem to be more viable options for mainstream media outlets, though I would also like to see more of them creating Mastodon servers, the way the BBC did recently.

The only annoying thing is setting up file association with 7zip. Why have the devs not made sure that it’s a simple task?
