• The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly… Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it’s like the wild wild west over here… I promise I’m not fearing for my life every time I go out.

• The extreme left views (I’m liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)

• The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.

• The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let’s be real, how many casual users are doing this?)

• People always asking if something is FOSS…

These are just a few off the top of my head.

Thank you!

Pikmin 4. My sister surprised me with it for my birthday! Enjoying it so far, and it’s very relaxing to play.

No worries! I was just a little confused when I tried it on my iPhone and it worked.

I was able to uninstall all of the apps you just mentioned on iPhone just to cure my curiosity.

Which Apple device is not letting you uninstall those apps?

Oh I’ve actually been told by fat people that there’s no way that I actually enjoy working out and that I’m forcing myself to go to the gym while not enjoying it.

Guess it’s weird I like improving my physique and enjoying seeing how I can reach new goals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Living in Japan for a couple of years made me this way.

I have Linux on my laptop but I have a Windows gaming PC and I’m honestly trying to figure out how could you not get steam to start? Never had an issue with that before…

Wow, this is very clean! I never used sync for Reddit so I didn’t understand all the hype but I get it now. I’m very impressed

Welcome back!

From the article,

“Along the way, they can be exposed to detention, deprivation, torture, trafficking, violence, exploitation and rape.”

Jesus, this is depressing. I only hope there is something that can be done in order for these children to reach their destination safely.

No child should ever have to endure this.

You have to turn on horizontal swipe for next post in settings first. Then after that just view a post and swipe from right to left on the topic and it should go to the next post

If your on Android the connect for Lemmy app allows this. Though it is in experimental mode right now but it works well for me

Haha. I thought the same thing when I lived in Japan. First time I heard it I was like what do you mean by black companies??

I recently just bought a pixel 6 and have been interested in Graphene OS, but would I lose features like live translate and the hold for me feature?

Haha no worries! To be fair, my quote is from a different article.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jun/12/microsoft-activision-blizzard-deal-ftc-regulators

According to this article, Microsoft has agreed to sign a legally binding agreement with the FTC.

“Microsoft has said the deal would benefit gamers and gaming companies alike, and offered to sign a legally binding consent decree with the FTC to provide Call of Duty games to rivals including Sony for a decade.”

Now for the future, that I couldn’t tell you what Microsoft would do, but I believe the Microsoft of today is all about bringing these types of services and games to all. I think if they were to end support and only keep call of duty exclusive to Xbox it would actually do more harm to them than good.

I agree. This is going on way too long.

From what I understand of the merger it seems like it would benefit gamers as a whole. It seems initially the main reason to stop this was to block Microsoft from exclusive rights over Call of Duty, which doesn’t seem what Microsoft is intending to do.

Microsoft has even agreed to bring call of duty to Sony’s Playstation for 10 years, and also to bring call of duty to the Nintendo switch.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but I really don’t see how this would hurt the gaming market, which is what is being argued here.

Exactly this. When I lived in Japan I worked with some employees that have literally been in that same position longer than I’ve been alive (men and women).

It’s going to be a while.

Thanks for this! I’m getting into cyber security so I’ll have to check some of these out.
