RooPappy , to lemmyshitpost in I love popcorn

Popcorn makes me fart.

I eat it anyway.

Toot toot toot.

RooPappy , to news in Pro-Trump Michigan attorney arrested after hearing in DC over leaking Dominion documents

I can't seem to find any more information about what alleged crimes were in the illegally-leaked Dominion documents. Was there anything interesting at all? Or was this just noise?

RooPappy , to mildlyinfuriating in I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**

Theres definitely a setting for turning off content recognition... but... even if I say "no", I don't trust my dogs not to eat food I leave within reach.

These companies want the data, they profit from the data, they probably won't get caught if they take the data, and even if they do they won't get punished, and even if they do it'll still be worth it. You have to turn off the network or block the traffic to be sure.

RooPappy , to mildlyinfuriating in I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**

I bought a 65" HiSense last month. I was psyched the first time I set it up, and it gave me the option to configure it as a dumb TV without the Android TV experience or a network connection.

RooPappy , (edited ) to technology in Google calls Drive data loss “fixed,” locks forum threads saying otherwise | Ars Technica

My wife bought a new Pixel 8 recently from Google Fi. They sent a Pixel 6a for some reason. She attempted to work with their incompetent, powerless, disconnected and foreign support for a week to get something to happen, desperately reaching out every day for someone to just tell her what was happening. Then, she just purchased a new one because you can't go longer than that without a phone.

Then it was 2 more weeks of them failing to issue a refund for the original wrong phone, trying to ship another phone that she no longer needed, and simultaneously trying to bill her a penalty for not yet activating the phone that was originally shipped.

All it would take is one person who had information, authority, and a modicum of understanding. Nope. That is not a thing that can be achieved through any level of escalation at Google anymore.

Nokia had the same problem recently during a recent issue. They have intentionally made it impossible to solve issues. This is what some companies want. Don't buy from them.

RooPappy , to news in Hunter Biden indicted on nine tax charges, adding to gun charges in special counsel probe

"if"... "could"

Oh no! That means it's... probably going to happen, right? Everyone get ready for exactly that to go down!

RooPappy , to pcgaming in The Price is Wrong, Bob: Only a third of PC gamers pay full price

I dunno man, I started gaming with the Atari, C64 and NES, and I never paid full price back then either. Rentals, used games, piracy... that was a good 95%+ of my gaming experience.

The only time I got full price games was maybe a birthday or Christmas, but even that was rare for a major AAA release like Mario 3 or E.T.

Maybe your memory is just one person's experience and not an absolute truth.

RooPappy , to technology in Thomas 🔭✨ (@[email protected]) 23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome

I'm not sure if lawyers think their words are magic sometimes, or if they'd just really like them to be magic.

I live in a state that prohibits most non-competes from employers, and any effort to try to get employees to sign overly restrictive agreements can actually result in a fine and penalty. My company sent me a legal agreement saying that by signing the doc and continuing to be employed, I agree to waive my state's protections against non-competes. As if... that would hold up in any court, ever.

It's a blatantly illegal clause and I could have fought it at the time... but in the end I knew it was totally unenforceable at worst. I'll go after them for the penalty if they ever try to enforce it, or if I leave under bad circumstances. It was more valuable to me to have this document than it is for them to have it.

RooPappy , to lemmyshitpost in They forgot the LGBTQ...

You calling me crazy? Just 'cause I got a hotel in my foot doesn't make me a boogalymoogalymoogaly!

RooPappy , to asklemmy in Do you ever come up with genius ("genius") ideas for joke domains to unsettle/embarrass people when you tell them your email?

Not a domain, but I did register a yahoo email address of [email protected] just to confuse people who asked for my email address.

RooPappy , to asklemmy in Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

People need to be willing to suffer small conveniences to send a message to companies, but they aren't. And then they complain that the government should step in, while they constantly elect people who protect business interests and are anti-consumer in the name of "small government."

It's requires at least one or the other... a free market with consumers who drive the demand, or big government. With neither, you end up with constant corporate abuses.

RooPappy , to news in Colorado Hospital Finally Admits to Cutting Lakota Elder’s Hair Without His Permission

This is actually a really good hospital. I imagine someone carlessly cut it for convenience, a stupid thing to do.

I think the protest is because then the hospital, instead of saying "Holy shit, I'm so sorry... this is terrible, what can we do to make up for it?"... they responded with "What hair?", "I think he probably cut it himself" and "No comment". That was compounding stupid mistakes.

They should bring back more of the original writers.

RooPappy , to youshouldknow in YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete)

Google search does it too. Hangouts used to. Not sure about Messages and other Google services.

RooPappy , to aboringdystopia in Jeremy *unt warns benefits coasters will lose free prescriptions if they refuse jobs (or: continue to punish the poor and marginalised for the greed of the wealthy and corrupt. It's the Tory way!)

Look at these poor people stealing a little bit from you!

Ignore these rich people stealing 500x that much from you!
