If you go through that user’s other reviews, while they are very funny, they’re also very AI generated. Tons of contrivances and the classic “and honestly?”
They were almost all posted on April 13th, and they all drop the “brand name” of the product in just really unnatural ways. This is 1,000% a bot.
Do go visit the profile though. The sex toy reviews are pretty funny.
If you want some quick examples of how this is obviously AI:
Ah I see, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining, I learned something from your comment and the other one.
I am not up to date on all these license debates, but don’t you think equating Alpine Linux to “locked down DRM” is just a bit of a logical reach?
Alpine and its components are fully open source, you can make whatever changes you want to them. I am not seeing the argument here.
If you don’t want to open this and solder a chip, then no, you can’t do what you want.
The closest you can get is to enable AutoRCM, which will cause the Switch to always boot into recovery mode and accept a payload. This skips the need to use a jig in the Joy-Con rail, but you still need to inject a payload. And because recovery mode is just a black screen, you don’t have any visual feedback to know if the Switch is actually in recovery mode, or if the battery is just dead.
Your best option is to just boot into whatever OS you use most, then make it a habit to keep it charged enough to not shut down.
I’m really curious to learn how you get calls in so many different languages. I could definitely see Spanish, English, and maybe Vietnamese all being spoken in a general geographic area, but you listed a lot of diverse languages. Pretty cool if that’s really all within one area!
People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.
If you’re going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:
Damn, I guess you’re right. It’s a shame I don’t have the money to move.
I’ll have to abandon my elderly family, put my pets up for adoption, and stow away on a local fishing boat for a few months. I guess it’s the only way.
…but seriously, this is my point. Yes, this is all bad, but what do you want me to do? Being able to just jump ship is a privilege I do not have. If the building is burning, then I’m not getting out in time.
You guys make this sound like some kind of doomsday movie.
I’m not downplaying how bad things are, but if you really have the several thousand dollars you’d need to actually uproot your entire life just sitting around, good for you. Most people don’t have that kind of free money.
And good luck moving if you have pets, or have family members you care for. Have you guys even been to your “target” countries? Do you have plans for how you’ll make income? How does healthcare work in your target country?
If you have all that figured out, and have nothing to leave behind, then good for you, I really do hope you end up better off. But this panicked response of “What are you waiting for, run!!!” is way more entitled than people seem to think.
Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They’re just trying to reach as many people as possible.
OF requires strict government issued ID verification in some jurisdictions. Patreon does not, at least in the US.
That should be your deciding factor already. No one should have their privacy invaded just to send you a few bucks a month.
You also can’t open two spreadsheets that have the same filename. I’m sure that’s led to a helpdesk call or two.
There was no judgement, only a settlement. Yuzu is not “illegal.” Nintendo can abuse DMCA and request GitHub take these down, and GitHub will probably listen, but Nintendo would not be “legally in the right” to do so.
18 isn’t long enough, better wait until 34
It is. The user just won’t see any content from the server they blocked.
That’s entirely different. As an individual, I have the choice to send emails to, or block emails from, Gmail.com.
But on Lemmy, if I am on an instance that federates with Threads, and I don’t want Threads.net to get a copy of my content or posts (or have my content or posts show up on Threads.net in the future), then tough shit for me, my only option is to either go silent or move to an instance that has defederated from Threads.
People keep making the email argument, but it is not the same thing at all. I don’t think it’s fair for a large percentage of lemmy.world’s users to not have a voice in a decision that will absolutely impact them, nor is it fair to have a stance of “then leave then.”
I don’t have the same issue. Fennec from F-Droid runs at 120Hz even with tabs open
The indicator does flicker between 60 and 120 while the page is loading, but it’s not perceptible. However, if what I’m seeing means the FPS goes down to 60 while the app is busy, this may be some kind of performance throttling done to keep resource usage low. If you have lower end specs, this may be the explanation. I’m on a Pixel 6 Pro.
Why is everyone up in arms about this? The abuse of their free service was rampant. This isn’t a core project change, this is just a measure to keep a version of the project up for free without completely taking it down. They don’t even have a way to monetize this. An alternative was to simply shut it down and only allow you to self host it.
I self host my Jitsi instance, but as a privacy nut, I don’t see a problem with this. Absolute privacy cannot always coexist with free anonymous services. Don’t blame Jitsi, blame the people who ruined it for everyone else.
Granted. The house fire subsides and there is no structural damage.
However, the house is now empty. Every belonging or piece of furniture has mysteriously disappeared.
You could only save one thing. You chose your house.
I really thought this was satire until your comment.
Who thought this was a good idea to publish…
Be careful, that’s an AI generated review. Definitely try to find other human reviews before you buy it.
