- Comment on Can governments compell mobile app developers to push out targeted updates as a privilege escalation or pivot point on a "suspect's" device? 2 weeks ago:
google does for sure. a few years ago they demanded all developers to hand in their keys in the pretense of efficiency
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
steam and valve has also been generally more respectful with users than mostly any other online business, not even just in the space of online software stores. of course it’s not all rainbows and glitter but the point stands.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Valve kills physical ownership of games: I sleep
kills? most of them work with a steam emu, even offline. that’s not even cracking. most of those that don’t have a different limitation.
with a steam emu you can do whatever you want with the game files, often you can put it on your pendrive and play it as a portable game (the right goldberg emu settings allow game data to be stored near the game files instead of appdata)

free lol. did you look at the privacy policy, or just accepted it hastily?
- Comment on Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool. 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 weeks ago:
if it’s an app, it’s not n OS, and does not replace an OS.
People want to replace the OS to get rid of forced data mining, forced updates, other limitations, and to be able to install other software
- Comment on If the EU uses online signature for European Citizen's Initiative, why isn't voting online for elections or policies not allowed? 5 weeks ago:
because it’s much less important and so much less risky

the French forgot about when to use guillotines decades ago
- Comment on This is the most annoying thing I've ever seen 1 month ago:
switch to firefox and install the ublock origin. it should get rid of it
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 2 months ago:
to not buy the new one. but if I have already bought it, before it was enshittified even, I don’t want to buy a new one to be able to reconfigure it unless absolutely necessary
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 2 months ago:
I’ve fallen into this trap too a year ago or so. try if the Logitech Onboard Memory Manager is useful for any of your devices, it’s a totally offline program. you can get it from the page below, but if it’s been taken down check the archive.org, I think I have made an archive of the exe too
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 2 months ago:
garbage advice lol
the software has useful features, like reconfiguring buttons on your mouse. however lately all of them got to be enshittified with a login requirement.
the real solution is to not buy their shit, or to keep buying used hardware for which decent software configurator is still available
- Comment on Why limit immigration? 3 months ago:
in my country that’s exactly what is happening, they are taking the simpler jobs for much cheaper, and lot of our “native” people has/had jobs like this.
ironically, this country is among the loudest in anti-immigration in the EU, all the while they are immigrating people from neighboring countries exactly for cheap labor.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 months ago:
if this doesn’t, then it doesn’t have any, and people would leave it alone near 0 votes
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 months ago:
it might have been just because OP did not understand what they wanted to mean. I don’t either.
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 4 months ago:
To me the way it’s better is that it’s more free in a sense. For one it does not even attempt to limit what software you use for browsing it, but also if you very dislike certain people/content, like-minded people can host their server without losing access to most of the other content, while being able to block the unwelcome instances and users.
Downvote brigading is not a technical problem though, but a people problem, isn’t it? So the solution against that would be stricter moderation, maybe banning a few more instances (but that’s not really a good solution unless it’s very extreme), and making people downvote less.
Hmm, thinking about it, maybe a daily per-user “downvote budget” would be an interesting experiment? To see if it would be effective. Or with an other interval, but still not too long, and maybe partly connected to account active days (not account age). - Comment on I am not promoting death or killing but are the countries where they are freely allowed to kill nazi's? Kind of like in some parts of Africa are allowed to kill poachers? 4 months ago:
All in 11 days
- Comment on If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore? 5 months ago:
That doesn’t matter because they won’t be here by the time that happens
- Comment on Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz 1 year ago:
Who’s going to pay the new fees imposed by unity?
- Comment on How come I can’t see all comments in some (maybe all?) posts on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
Try reloading it once or twice. I usually have to do that to have more than just a few comments show up
- Comment on Why do so many Lemmy instances use weird TLDs? 1 year ago:
There are people who use (regex) blocking for the zip TLD and that other one that google released with it, for the reason that they can be very deceptive.
- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 1 year ago:
Fortunately not everyone lives in the US

I’m not an electrician either, but can all those volts be just added up?
