I pay for YouTube. It is without a doubt the best subscription I pay for, that I get major use out of. I know people are hardcore anti-ad and Google is like Ad Satan, but if you can afford it, YouTube is unironically worth it.

My Logitech G503 Lightspeed wireless mouse works instantly on my computer. Plug and play. Running Pop!_OS.

Gaming works great in Steam and Lutris.

Can’t speak for battery and power management, but I do have a laptop with Pop installed on it as well. Haven’t had any troubles, but it’s out of commission right now due to an unrelated hard drive cable issue.

Spot on about Excel, I suppose. I’ve never much liked libreoffice or Google sheets for tables.

2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...

Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable...

littlecolt ,

You are conflating Internet service speed and mobile generations. I work for an ISP. I hear this all the time. Especially since there’s also “5G WiFi” which is 5 GHz band. People confuse it all, and it’s understandable but still annoying.

My company offers 1 Gbps service. No one is getting confused by that yet, but our modems have 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports now, and I had a customer that was outraged the other day because “Your modem is only 2.5 G and all my devices use 5G! You need to send me a 5G modem!!” FFS

I think you’ll find, if your look deep, that the average customer IS DUMB AS FUCKING BRICKS AND DOESN’T KNOW WHAT FROM WHAT, BIG NUMBER GOOD

More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacities (www.techradar.com)

I like 8TB drives for media. I know the rules of safe backup say you should have 3 copies, but I just have another 8TB drive for each one that’s in use and I do a sync every few months. The backup drives, when not hooked up to sync for backup, sit safely in anti static bags inside the boxes they came in, in a file cabinet drawer.

I meant 8 TB

Played and beat A Link to the Past for the first time! (lemmy.world)

As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best...

littlecolt ,

All-time for sure. Amazingly solid game.

littlecolt ,

I played it on a 2DS. Now I’m curious to play it in 3D.

littlecolt ,

Why do it? Money and power.

littlecolt ,

Having power over others is certainly not system-unique.

littlecolt ,

Stop edging yourself, you want to say capitalism is the problem so bad.

littlecolt ,

It is. It was just funny how you were edging yourself with it.

littlecolt ,

Yo why are you keeping bananas in the fridge?

littlecolt ,

I have always loved eating cold hot dogs, plain. Ever since I was very young. I like them steamed best, but cold is fine. With crackers.

littlecolt ,

I CAN’T BE STOPPED! I WILL SHOVE TWO HOT DOGS IN MY MOUTH INTO MY CHEEKS LIKE A COLD MEAT EATING GERBIL. CHEEKS PUFFED OUT, CHEWING, STARING AT ANYONE WATCHING AND NEVER BREAKING EYE CONTACT.

littlecolt ,

Less garlic, but the same meat slurry.

littlecolt ,

LMFAO you are so propagandized

littlecolt ,

It’s well known now that gamergate and large parts of the “MRA” movement were organized specifically to radicalize young white men, as a test run that would eventually become the alt-right pipeline to radicalize even more people. Steve Bannon and his band of merry trolls were heavily involved.

So, yes, it really was sexist, racist, full of hate, and directly led to the alt-right movement online.

This information is not hard to find, if you cannot or do not wish to learn about the entire situation, which is much more complicated than could be boiled into a reply here, perhaps you are willfully doing so. please look it all up. There have been plenty of articles and even documentaries made about it through the years since. It is not my job to teach you about it, and I’m not qualified, nor do I have sources ready.

littlecolt ,

I’m not citing a source, I’m speaking generally. Search YouTube for a video called “how to fall down the anti-sjw rabbit hole” to get started, great video by a great YouTube creator called Three Arrows., but really it is not difficult.to find this sort of information. I am also speaking generally instead of specifically on purpose because my goal here was to leave a comment. Not to have a debate.

Wot The Fsck You Say, Spotify? (lemmy.world)

Edit: A couple times I’ve said eBook while I actually meant Audiobook. I’ve learned that Spotify has a 15 hour limit per month for their free ‘included in premium’ audiobooks. However these are the two books I listened to for free, and even rounding up to 13 hours it doesn’t make sense, unless they count accidental...

littlecolt ,

Go to your local library and ask if they have audiobook borrowing through Libby or a similar platform! Not only are you NOT limited on listening hours, but it’s free! You just might have to wait if all the “copies” are borrowed at the moment.

Also, if you have a cool library like I do, you might be able to borrow from multiple libraries. For example, my library card is for the St. Louis County Library, but it can also be used at the St. Charles County Library. So if I am looking for an audiobook on Libby, and SLCL has 3 virtual copies and they are all borrowed, I can search SCCL to see if they have any. I’ve had many situations where I’ll find one library or the other will have a copy available for borrowing with no wait.

littlecolt ,

Thus pisses me off. The big fandoms and influencers could move. But all the people are on X. The users couldove, but all the fandoms and influencers are on X. It’s a fucking loop where no one wants to make the first move

littlecolt ,

Not for them to be killed. I’m not a psycho.

George Carlin Estate Files Lawsuit Against Group Behind AI-Generated Stand-Up Special: ‘A Casual Theft of a Great American Artist’s Work’ (variety.com)

George Carlin Estate Files Lawsuit Against Group Behind AI-Generated Stand-Up Special: ‘A Casual Theft of a Great American Artist’s Work’::George Carlin’s estate has filed a lawsuit against the creators behind an AI-generated comedy special featuring a recreation of the comedian’s voice.

littlecolt ,

Good. Can’t wait for Nintendo to sue Palworld, too. All this AI garbage needs to be put in it’s place.

littlecolt ,

Awe little Kit Kat Mini is actually a pupper

littlecolt ,

It won’t be awful, though. Pasta desserts are delicious.

littlecolt ,

Microsoft is already trying hard. My poor mom did not notice all her files are on OneDrive. Now she has two laptops with everything remote on OneDrive. It’s has some advantages, but it’s annoying in so many more ways.

littlecolt ,

Universal_healthcare has entered the chat.

littlecolt ,

Uh.

50° is fucking perfect.

I love low to mid 50’s. Yes I am white and overweight, no further follow-up questions, please.

littlecolt ,

Too hot.

littlecolt ,

This year, I bought a Costco membership and ditched Prime. Fuck Amazon.

George Carlin - I Gave Up On My Species - George's GENUINE, eloquent perspective (youtu.be)

George’s comedy specials helped raise me from a young age when no one else was doing any raising. I consider him to be one of the greatest minds, social commentators, and philosophers of the 20th century, and I’ve yet to recognize a contemporary near his level. I’ll always be grateful to have had the honor to see him twice...

littlecolt ,

Is it possible that there’s a large overlap between idiots who are bad at driving and the type of people who buy Teslas?

littlecolt ,

Okay, and as inevitable as that seems, how about instances wait until that happens, and THEN defederate? The preemptive defederation is disappointing to see. My home instance has done it. I’ll have to wait and see who DOESN’T defederate so I can make an alt account and see for myself what happens.

littlecolt ,

You’re almost as good at it as them, the way you put words in the mouths of others.

littlecolt ,

I’m well aware and deleted my Facebook long long ago.

littlecolt , (edited )

Yes, because they aren’t in control of the platform. We are. We can observe and decide, and they can’t stop us. The choice here isn’t “meta or not meta”, but rather “act based upon evidence or not” - meta and their handling of their own platforms where that had absolute control is not what we have here. This is a new situation. But here’s the thing, we will see the data, regardless. Some instances will choose to not defederate immediately, and we will still all benefit from the observation.

littlecolt ,

You imagine the doomsctollers aren’t present here already?

littlecolt ,

Right? Think about how fucking absurd this is. This whole “desecration” nonsense.

“I am going to say my special magic words at your special magic words building! Take that!”

“THIS OUTRAGE SHALL NOT STAND! ONLY MY SPECIAL MAGIC WORDS CAN BE SAID AT MY SPECIAL MAGIC WORDS BUILDING!”

And then they killed each other over special magic words. Invisible sky man is watching and doing nothing despite all the magical and very special words being said that he can definitely hear and cares about.

Fucking madness.
