You don’t use encrypted emails only to communicate privately. If they are not encrypted, your e-mail provider will probably scan them, whether it is for profit or under request from the NSA. That’s what Snowden uncovered.

Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season?

Season 1s are great, setup, some payoff, a bit of lead into the overarching story. Then season 2 to X. The heroes win and then lose in the final episode, cliffhanger to next season. People get bored. Final season is announced and they wrap up the show.

I don’t agree with the example of Kelso. In the latter seasons he goes from being a horrible human to a somewhat empathetic and cool sage. I love it

Man, Scrubs was great. Still one of my favorite shows ever

Vampire Survivors seems to fit the bill: no story, a bit of tactics, you level up to get new items, and enjoy killing hordes of enemies at once. After every run you can unlock power-ups for the next run… It’s one of my most played games in the last few months. It’s one of the classic “just one more run” type of games

Lol I honestly was not sure if your comment was sarcastic or not. I guess you’re saying that if you’re looking to spend 1000s of hours with a game (like what people do with Runescape) Vampire Survivors is not the best. Still, you can easily get 100+ hours out of the base game + another buch of hours with the DLCs.

Also I think how quick you get tired of it depends on how much you’re looking to break the game with golden eggs farming. I personally have not done it but, if you do, it becomes pretty boring pretty fast.

How would one go about it?

Same. Zenfone 9 still has no ROMs available, unfortunatley

We should have something like federated communities

Communities on different instances about the same topic should have the option to essentially federate so a post on one appears on all of them and opening any of them shows you the comments from all of them. This way when lemmy.world is down its not a big deal because posting to any news community federates to all of the...

ominouslemon ,

I love the idea! In the meantime, I think mods of similar communities should talk to each other and decide to merge their communities into one, perhaps on a server that’s not lemmy.world. I don’t remember which one, but I’ve seen that happening

ominouslemon ,

Lol of course they did

ominouslemon ,

No, lots of instances with communities that, if they so chose, can mirror each other. Very different

ominouslemon ,

Fully agree with that. The free version is awesome as-is, but I pay for the premium one and it’s one of the few subscriptions that I never think of canceling.

Recently I’ve been also using Inoreader to “subscribe” to YouTube accounts and I love it cause that let me cancel my YT account since I don’t need it anymore

Lots of valuable life lessons here

ominouslemon ,

Why not use NewPipe?

ominouslemon ,

That’s gonna be quite difficult, unfortunately

When I need a Chromium browser I use Vivaldi. I quite like it!

Either you have an axe to grind or don’t really follow The Verge. What “track record” are you talking about here?

ominouslemon ,

Still, if SSDs fail repeatedly, something’s not right. That’s the point of the article

ominouslemon ,

I mean, the article bit they quote is kinda crazy:

“I haven’t tested the SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD, but I have used many SanDisk products over the decades. The company built a reputation for quality products that, in my experience, it deserves.”

Also, why would the Verge not have moral high ground? They are one of the most respected tech sites around

ominouslemon ,

Lots of people in this thread bitching and moaning, not realizing what it means working with hundreds of gigs of video data a day

ominouslemon ,

They have a history of tech misreporting. It’s not new news.

This does not add anything to the discussion. They had that infamous PC build video (for which they apologized and which they retracted) but that’s the only thing I can remember in the years I’ve been following them.

Also, providing a detailed technical analysis was not the scope of the article. Maybe you don’t follow them very much, but they usually don’t do this kind of things. They mostly cover internet culture, how technology impacts society, etc., because that’s their scope. This does not mean the editors are tech illiterate. The point of the article was to say that WD drives fail a lot; some publications are reporting that while some others don’t say anything; and the company is ignoring the problem.

I agree that the tone of the article is pretty butt-hurt and whiny, but that’s a problem of style and not of substance

ominouslemon ,

Did you read the article? Two drives, not one. In 3 months. By the same company. Who is aware of a problem, is trying to hide it, and pushed a firmware update that did not work. Also this second drive was a “safer” replacement the company sent the guy after the first one failed. I say an article about the whole situation is fully warranted
