MiDaBa@lemmy.mlto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•When 'Pass the Interview' = 'Cancel My Flight'47·4 months agoThis is the type of peak capitalism that make me lose all faith in humanity. The fact American companies feel pressure to pay even less than the already poor salaries is testament to the need to burn this all to the ground.
Even worse. Games with a mysterious auto save “feature” that don’t allow a manual backup save. There’s a special place in hell for those developers.
I’ve never understood why it’s so hard to re-purpose an old android phone as a TV streaming box. I have an old One Plus that would blow the Nvidia Shield out of the water but as far as I can tell nothing exists that make that possible. It has HDMI via the USB C port but no way to add a remote and use the TV interface. The ability to sleep when the TVs CEC signal sends a power off command would also be a requirement for me.
MiDaBa@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•The home page of my $1700 smart TV has a full page ad about watching ads5·5 months agoLG is one of the worst. Only TVs with ROKU are worse for privacy concerns. ROKU, LG and Samsung make Google look good when it comes to invasion of privacy.
I’ve been against the idea of smart TVs from day one. A good panel will easily have a longer life than whatever smart box they shoe horn into TVs now. That’s reason enough to avoid that trap.
Mark my words on this: on top of the privacy invasion Future smart TVs will be designed to slow down to the point of being unusable well before their panels wear out to force upgrades and prevent third party repairs.
Because then you’d really have to suck to enjoy capitalist cost cutting lemonade.

MiDaBa@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•YouTube now disallowing any gun related content on its platform.82·1 year agoUnless we’re disallowing guns in video games, movies, books, plays or on the internet in general then this is a waste of time.
MiDaBa@lemmy.mlto games@hexbear.net•How to separate good from bad friends. G@mer edition.English8·1 year agoI didn’t even realize it was a pride controller at first. People worried about Xbox controller art are idiots.
MiDaBa@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Biden Confuses Kamala Harris for Trump, Zelenskiy for Putin at NATO Summit2·1 year agoMy aim is to replace Biden with someone who can actually win. Bidens team is on the offensive trying to claim he’s got the best shot but that’s a load of hot garbage. I think you’d be surprised at how many people voted for anything not trump last time around. This time around his cognitive decline has become so blatantly obvious that by even defending it you destroy the democratic party’s credibility and as a result become Trumps real enabler. The election will be decided by a few swing states and a small number of undecided voters living in those states. Telling them they are wrong about what the see and hear from Biden is gaslighting plain and simple. If democrats want to differentiate themselves as the morally superior party then lying out of fear isn’t a good look. The situation is what it is. The best chance they have is to replace Biden as soon as possible. Every day that passes decreases the nominees chances. Also, I really hope they hold a primary vote because just telling voters they get Vice President Harris makes this feel less like a democracy and will definitely alienate enough voters to throw the whole election.
Final thought, as long as we have a two party system nothing will really get better. The best we can hope for is not worse. It’s very telling that so many democratic congress people are afraid to challenge the party. If an elected representative is afraid to act on their conscience then it’s obvious we don’t have a real democracy.
He’s only working on that particular old man’s OS.
If Biden or the Democratic party really cared about the country they’d pick a new candidate. It wouldn’t take much to beat Trump and if Trump is such a threat to democracy then why run the worst presidential candidate of my lifetime? Why run the only candidate that Trump could possibly beat?
I’m fairly certain this is an old Quake map.
MiDaBa@lemmy.mlto news@hexbear.net•He owns 18 McDonald's franchises in the state.English15·1 year agoYou can always count on rich people to put on one hell of a dog and pony show to “prove” they are the real victims. They’ll try to raise prices and do layoffs even if it hurts them in a manipulating attempt to convince us we are wrong. Eff them.
Haha! Team 4% FTW
MiDaBa@lemmy.mlto Gaming@lemmy.ml•GOG adding cloud gaming support via Amazon Luna "soon"121·1 year agoAgreed. No Firefox means no monthly payment from me.
As long as those friends have strong and inflexible opinions about chat apps then yes.
The copyright holder is only actually harmed if I would have paid them otherwise. Since I never would have paid for the movie nothing changes for them. Nothing is stollen because they would have no idea someone had a copy unless they check.
