Anyone of any age can dress up and not have it be weird… but trick-'r-treating? Anything over 12 is just fucking weird to me. I’m instantly sus of any adult doing it (unless they have a kid with them).

Ohhh thank you for suggesting these, I had been considering swapping for CCleaner for weeks now but didn’t know of a good alternative.

I was able to get their Twitch app to work on my Roku a few years ago; not sure if it’s still possible in 2023 though.

But yea, I am sad that Amazon basically “removed” it from Roku in an attempt to push people towards their shitty Firesticks.

TikTok has filled that void, for now.

@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why would Hamas apologize? This helps them further radicalize Palestinians and their supporters abroad. Remember, Hamas has no issue using Palestinians as meat shields.

Netflix announced that starting today, users on its $9.99 per month Basic plan will now have to pay $11.99, and those paying $19.99 per month for Premium will have to pay $22.99

That’s insane. The only way those price hikes could possibly be justified is if the majority of movie/show creators had their catalogues available on Netflix. But they don’t because everyone and their mother wants their own fucking streaming service, ruining streaming for everyone.

No thanks. I got a library card and access to my entire county’s book/audio-book/movie/show catalogue for free through Libby and Hoopla. As for everything else I can’t find there… Yarr.

I like Libretube but I’m always willing to try something new.

Edit: Wish TikTok was a source.

It doesn’t have TikTok as a source yet, but I’m hopeful that they will in the future.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

OP paid $80 for a yearly subscription, not $110.

Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple (www.theverge.com)

Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

My only issue with RCS is that it requires that either LTE or wifi be on. I personally keep those off unless I want to actively use the internet. Not a big deal, minor annoyance though.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

No reason to keep either on since they drain the battery even when not actively browsing the net. And if your LTE can’t find a tower to connect, it keeps trying to connect, draining the battery significantly. This was pretty bad for me a couple years ago; not so much anymore since I live in a city now but I still keep both off, mostly habit but also because I like having my battery above 90% while it’s sitting idle.

When I’m at home and want to use the net on my phone, I turn WiFi on, then off once done. When I’m outside the home and need the internet, I turn LTE on and then turn it back off once I’m done.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

If you’re on PC use Firefox with uBlock Origin.

For Android, Im personally using Libretube but using mobile Firefox with uBlock Origin also works.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Nah I prefer Libretube.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That’s odd. Were you using other YouTube add-ons?

No one will ever host any kind of party/festival so close to the border again after this; if there even is a border after all this.

I’ll be shocked if Gaza isn’t turned into a wasteland in the coming days/weeks/howeverlongittakes.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Lol no way; Hamas needs to be wiped out completely. They can never, ever, be trusted and will just do this shit again in the future.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes I’m aware of what Israel is doing. No, I don’t know of any better ways to get rid of Hamas.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Nope. I don’t support Israel doing that either. However, Hamas will never tolerate peace. They will never allow a 2-state compromise; they want Israel completely gone. And Israel is allowed to defend it’s borders. There is no happy ending here for anyone.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Majority of Palenstinians support Hamas.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Unfortunately for Palestine, Israel will win.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Of course Israel is defending itself against a homicidal organization. The fact it’s in Israel’s borders is irrelevant.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Not really. Israel has the best ally in the world; the U.S. They’ll be fine.

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

they just posted it in front of a video and wouldn’t let me watch anything until I disabled my adblocker.

I’ve never had this happen to me with Firefox + ublock origin.

If you want youtube on mobile, I recommend Libretube. Or just use mobile Firefox with ublock origin.

My pc isn’t compatible with Win11 (unsupported cpu) and since I’m poor, I’m not getting a new one anytime soon.

Besides, Win10 is great.

I’m a gamer, so that isn’t a viable option for me. I know that it’s starting to get better thanks to the Steamdeck but it has a long way to go.

This question is going to plague a lot of minds for years to come, mine included.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Well, that’s troubling.

CrypticFawn , (edited )
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Hopefully they fully level it completely. Gaza shouldn’t be allowed to exist anymore.

I honestly think the two state compromise is no longer possible (something I strongly supported); we can all thank Hamas for that; they never wanted it either. They wanted Israel completely gone, and now instead it will be Gaza that gets wiped off the map.

I’ve no idea what will become of the civilians, but it likely won’t be good.

Edit: For those down voting me, why? Do you honestly see a better path out of this mess that doesn’t involve Hamas being utterly destroyed? Plus, none of the surrounding countries want Palestinian refugees because that means taking in Hamas sympathizers (did ya’ll forget what happened in Jordan as well?!). Wherever they go, they bring chaos.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I suspect this will be the turning point for this ongoing conflict.

Agreed.

And in the future there may no longer be a Palestine as we know it.

Yea, I don’t think the two-state compromise is even possible even more. Israel won’t tolerate even letting Hamas stick around, so Gaza will be leveled. As for what will happen to the civilians; I’ve not a clue.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

No. If you don’t like it, block me.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

“Palestine” is not the one that did this.

Palestinians overwhelmingly support Hamas. They allowed this shit to fester.

@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

What a dumb response. Onto block ya go.

Fuck off, terrorist supporter.

CrypticFawn ,
@CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Peace can only be achieved once one side has been destroyed, for the simple fact that neither can tolerate the others existence.

I wish peace was a viable option, but it just isn’t.

Fuck Hamas as well. 😉
