Iceblade02 , to games in Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community?

Old but gold, the Longest Journey, since you seem to want something story centered.

Iceblade02 , to world in Kuwait to distribute 100,000 copies of Quran in Sweden after Muslim holy book desecrated at one-man protest

I know of at least one instance where they asked for permission to burn torah scrolls outside the Israeli embassy. They got permission, Israel protested and Swedish dept of foreign affairs basically said “We don’t condone the action, but this falls under freedom of expression laws.”

On the day though, instead of doing the burning they instead protested against burning qurans.

Iceblade02 , to technology in Do our phones listen to our conversations? The answer is complicated.

The worst part is that you can get targeted by advertisements recorded by the other partys phone. Once upon a time, before I started blocking spotify ads, the ads I got were always very generic (fast food, spotify premium, espresso house etc.), but one time after visiting my cousin and mentioning that I had a headache, I was bombarded with only ads for pain killers for the full three hour drive home the day after.

Creepy AF.

Iceblade02 , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.

Freedom and personal liberty drives innovation more than anything else.

Iceblade02 , to world in Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds

Yeah, and furthermore, what types of meat you eat make an even greater difference. The worst offender is factory farmed beef, which produces close to a tenfold more emissions per protein amount than chicken, pork or fish.

One thing that surprised me when looking into this a few years ago is that chicken is a surprisingly carbon-light source of protein (note, emissions/grams of protein, not emissions/calorie) in the northern hemisphere.

Iceblade02 , to technology in Telly Starts Shipping Free, Ad-Supported 4K TVs, Will Charge Users up to $1,000 if They Violate Terms of Service

Hold on, let me just hang a curtain in front of the secondary screen.

There, so much better :)

Iceblade02 , to fediverse in Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

Same here!

Sticking to win 10 for now, but when it goes EOL I may do the big move.

Iceblade02 , (edited ) to youshouldknow in YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

This is Lemmy, not hexbear, beehaw or similar forums. I’ve had experience with other platforms removing “downvotes” (or their version of it). Sometimes it works, but oftentimes it doesn’t.

We can go a lot further into this discussion, but I’ll summarize my opinion as follows:

Neither having nor not having downvotes is “right”. They’re just different - and lead to different types of forums and discussions. I prefer the former, because in many topics that I want to discuss, they provide important feedback (both to me and others), even if you perceive that this feedback comes at a cost.

If you like, we can elaborate further, but I think it comes down to Beehaw ( & co.) and Lemmy being different platforms, which is a good thing. The world would be a very dreary place if everything was the same - and this is something that corporations are constantly pushing us towards.

Iceblade02 , to youshouldknow in YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

Both up- and downvotes do have a significant function. I actually prefer the lemmy method where they are presented separately.

A simple example could be a post such as:

YSK: The world actually is flat

-contains link to some bogus videos and stuff

In a lemmy w/o downvotes, it could show as only (10 upvotes) until a mod gets around to removing it, whilst in one with downvotes this post would quickly accrue downvotes if it gained any amount of traction.

I used a simple example here, but my point is that the combination of up and downvotes provide an easy gauge of general sentiment towards the statement/comment/post.

That’s good at least. This means that I only need to trust the host for my home instance keep my anonymity.

Iceblade02 , to android in How does everyone feel about Oneplus phones?

I’ve always been thinking about switching to a 3rd party OS, but been kindof wary due to bank apps and such. Do they work with LineageOS as well?
