  Pretty sure the time is just edited, unless there’s some way to tell Google “Yes have me circle this roundabout a bazillion times”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going fucking crazy? (Regarding explicit songs being censored on various music streaming services.)⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, in that specific case it is almost certainly not YouTube directly censoring the phrase. They aren’t known to do any kind of editing like that on uploaded videos.

  What is happening is the person that uploaded that video censored themselves…because YouTube’s policy around monetization. They’ll demonetize videos with certain no-no words. Part of that is YouTube and part of that is advertisers demanding their ads not be placed on content that they find objectionable.

  Indirectly, YouTube and advertisers are censoring our content. A lot of it is also TikTok, which will ban you for no-no words. This seeps over into YouTube where something that might be fine on YouTube but is banned on TikTok gets censored anyway in case it gets clipped for TikTok.

  Genuinely the power TikTok and it’s advertisers have over how we communicate is pretty scary. Imagine how often you hear “unalive” instead of “suicide” these days. “Pdf” (or others) instead of “pedophile.” The list goes on.

  And we found that overwhelmingly employees were happier and worked more efficiently from home.

  I don’t care if they were intended to be temporary. I do not owe my employer any more than the work they pay me to do. If I do that same work from home, in less time, more efficiently, and effectively, than any employer making me go to an office can go fuck thesmelves.

  Again, you haven’t said a reason employees should have to go in. You reek of “Well I suffered so everyone else has to hur dur”

  The world changes, get with the fucking times and stop licking the boots of your corporate overlords.

  I’ll bite, what’s the reason you think people have to go into the office if they get their work done more efficiently not doing so?

  Do the employees somehow owe their free time to the employers? Should we kiss their boots while we’re at it?

  I’ve seen comparisons of the 32GB vs 16GB GPD Win4 and there’s about a 10-15% uplift in performance at the same TDP in a lot of games with the 32GB model.

  So it can give an increase in performance, or at the least let you run at a slightly lower TDP for the same performance and a bit better battery life.

  Of course this was the 6800U, hard to say if the effects are similar for Intel’s chipset or not.

  The not-so-quiet part here is “Homeless or poor people don’t deserve to have their basic need of a toilet met”

  They call it a “need” but proudly talk about how they’re taking it away from the less fortunate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gatekeeping⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s likely just you were taught a different notation. Personally I was taught (x, y) can mean both coordinates x and y or a range from x-y (non inclusive), just depends on context which it is. Brackets like [x,y] I was taught are for inclusive ranges (i.e., x and y are included in the range)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tax time⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  in the u.s you don’t have to file if your income is under a certain threshold

  You don’t have to but also if you’re under that threshold you would almost certainly be getting a refund of all of the taxes you paid that year. So I highly recommend filing even if you don’t need to

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨15 More Free to Play Overwhelmingly Positive Steam Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “Holo House” is the farming and fishing minigame. I believe you unlock it once you beat stage 1, it shows up in the main menu as “???” until unlocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New cars are great...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I don’t like my car updating but I’d rather things get fixed than not. Software recalls are a huge headache in the auto industry, and being able to just download an update that fixes something is way easier than going to a dealership and having them use very specific tools and software to update the car/modules.

  It’s also used for anti-theft features for a lot of newer cars, if your car is stolen it can be remotely disabled entirely. That’s really what’s more scary in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New cars are great...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not entirely unrelated, Android Auto is basically a projection app for Android Automotive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New cars are great...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, pretty much all new cars have some amount of cellular connectivity. Usually you can’t actually use it without paying some subscription, but the manufacturers use it to push updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has Instagram largely avoided being associated with Facebook/Meta?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it’s 100% a “they don’t care,” the vast majority of social media users couldn’t give less of a shit who runs the service, just what the service does for them.

  The average person didn’t quit Facebook because it was a gross invasion of privacy and FB was caught doing plenty of suspect shit - Facebook declined because it wasn’t “cool” anymore and that’s it. People on Lemmy are more likely to care about who’s behind the service, but the average user certainly isn’t going to care much or at all.

  Technically you can drop bandages for other players regardless of your class, but actually coordinating that in most cases wouldn’t be worth it.
