mbasic.facebook.com no longer defeats their demand one use their messenger app to read DM on mobile. Anyone know a workaround for mobile to get private FB messages with their messenger app?

I don’t use Facebook much but when I do it’s because my gramma is sending me a private message. I refuse to download their other app. Please help?

UNCANNY on BBC4

Okay… what’s the difference between a beautiful and highly produced radio program and a podcast?

wowwoweowza ,

Tell me that someone has mentioned resting this system with a Linux distro? Wouldn’t that resolve the problem?

People can have a rich spiritual life and not believe in religion.

Discussions in the past about not being able to access digital gaming content that users had paid for...

I have a recollection of some long threads about some companies discontinuing gaming content and members of Lemmy having strong feelings and evidence about all this. I have been trying to search these older threads up but I can’t find them. Does anyone remember these conversations? What companies were involved? Games? How much...

wowwoweowza OP ,

Thank you! So many people do not realize that this is coming to everyone who invests in digital games like this.

wowwoweowza OP ,

Really important work! Thank you. The EU is good had holding the vultures accountable but USA continues to let them thrive.

wowwoweowza ,

I will spend it educating people that we write fifteen dollars as $15.

wowwoweowza ,

Forgive me but the Pi is an order Of magnitude better than the dinosaurs you mention.

wowwoweowza ,

I always appreciate the memes that show up at Lemmy, but this meme reduces the amount of effort that also goes into earning some merit badges. I think it’s funny but kind of tone deaf.

wowwoweowza ,

So… when I want to control content I’m consuming, I get the .mp3 or .pdf or whatever it is I’m interested in.

How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?

wowwoweowza ,

I’ve got a collection of classic iPods — the ones with the clickwheel.

Yes — the files can take time to download and organize and curate but in the end — if I need a thousand hours of audio I can rely on… well, it’s easy and fail proof.

wowwoweowza ,

I collect actual media files — it’s easy and perfectly reliable. We’ve been doing it since 1997. Why do anything else?

wowwoweowza ,

I don’t really know anything about grey Jay. I just know how to create my own archives of files and use them as I please. I’m not sure why I would need any kind of app to access my files — except for the player.

wowwoweowza ,

You can keep the PDF and drink it with your Koolaid.

Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?

I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

wowwoweowza ,

Okay — can anyone — and I mean anyone, please explain to me that allure of the so called home assistant. Our home was built in 1965. Its housed many families very comfortably. It houses our family very comfortably. Our kids are heading off to college. Tra la la. We have holidays, happiness, and we contribute to the community at a variety of events. We sleep well. Eat well. We host parties of up to fifty people sometimes… we have a yard.We have a dog, two cats, fish etc. All the things that happen in a home.

We are happy.

We have no so called smart products. We use a terrestrial radio in the kitchen on the daily. We stream from the rip-off services when we desire. We are up on the shows etc. So we have internet — each of us has a phone and a device for working. I just don’t get it.

What is the allure of the so called smart home etc?

wowwoweowza ,

That’s true. It doesn’t.

I like the idea that some folks have entirely private systems run by raspberry-pi. That sounds fun.

But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?

wowwoweowza ,

Imagine… setting it while at home.

wowwoweowza ,

Nope. Just like living. Not sure what all the hoo-haw’s about. Never felt so old in my life.

Who doesn’t like hand feeding the fish? Why even have them?

wowwoweowza ,

I’m sure they have an app to help you understand.

wowwoweowza ,

Sounds convenient.

How do you know if a book you pirated is complete/original/full etc ?

I downloaded a certain epub from Anna’s archive but as i have never read it before and i don’t know if it is a bad/incomplete copy or the real thing . I don’t think I’m allowed to say which book it is but do feel free to correct me and i’ll edit it in . So how do you solve this issue ? Like if it was a movie or tv...

wowwoweowza ,

OP: Hey everyone, I put zero effort into stealing something and now I need to know if it’s perfect down to the last period.

ME: Rolls eyes: pay for the effing book if you are so concerned about it being perfect. Good grief.

wowwoweowza ,

Well… I hope it’s okay to simply explore the notion that if I’m pirating a book, it’s on ME if it’s not perfect?

wowwoweowza ,

Aged like milk.

wowwoweowza ,

Turns out that the world DOES believe in AI and I said aged like milk because the original line is cautionary but we do didn’t listen and now we will suffer those consequences. It was an under appreciated comment because I did not offer clear context.

wowwoweowza ,

City Skylines Team to their fans: We’re sorry. Making good.

George R.R Martin to his fans: Go get fucked.

wowwoweowza ,

Yeah. Good ol’ Pong.

wowwoweowza ,

Refuses to finish next installment of Game Of Thrones — like ten years waiting.

wowwoweowza ,

Chuckled. That was unexpected.

But you should read some of this guy— he’s the most legit… except for this delay.

wowwoweowza ,

This is honestly the first time I have ever understood this community. Thank you.

wowwoweowza ,

Thank you brave friend. I came here to say this.

I’m so fatigued by the sentiment behind this meme and so many others.

Ergh… there’s something intruding on my video game playing… what an inconvenience… boo hoo…

wowwoweowza ,

Compassion is a part of human nature.

I think that people who need to be cared for should be cared for.

I think that’s a different issue than the one presented in the meme.

wowwoweowza ,

So… let’s keep this in the context of the general population.

There seems to be a subset of perfectly well adjusted able bodied healthy adults that complain about anything that distracts them from video games.

I think that’s a problem.

How about you?

wowwoweowza ,

Why am I getting the feeling that the only people you acknowledge as actual are disabled?

wowwoweowza ,

In case you’re worried: you deserve to be alive.

wowwoweowza ,

I personally would support UBI.

Promise.

wowwoweowza ,

What do you feel gives a person the greatest feelings of true contentment, confidence, and achievement?

wowwoweowza ,

There really was a long moment when things were beautful.
