I blame the American education system. (Or lack there of)

Am I the only one who has never heard the term “ICE” referring to Internal Combustion Engine vehicles? I hate how headlines deliberately make new acronyms or limit context to get people to click on the article.

Lulu’s Bakery on Union Turnpike in Fresh Meadows makes the best chocolate frosted doughnut in NY and possibly the US. I haven’t even had THAT many chocolate frosted doughnuts around the country, but I don’t know how someone makes a chocolate frosted doughnut better than that.

I never understood why so many “privacy focused” lists mark them as the top browser choice. Their company track record seems spotty at best.

That headline is every buzz word to tickle a Lemmy user’s taint. I say that with all the sincerity in the world because I too want one.

This is why I left this comment. Good to know, gotta try it.

I use older versions of Photoshop. Sorry, GIMP ain’t it.

For the record, I support piracy and don’t mind that people listen to my music for free. I don’t like other companies making money off it though. They didn’t make it, they don’t get to use it to make money.

Its not so much the money I’m not making, it’s the theft of hard work artists put in and corporations profit off of that makes me upset.

In 2019 the only way to reach people was Spotify. It’s still kinda the biggest game in town. It’s slowly changing but the business and ideas of digital ownership of rights were different 7 years ago.

I’m an artist with music on Spotify. I honestly don’t know how I feel about this.

I know Metallica got a lot of shit about Napster back in the day, but I can’t help but feel like they were right. They were (by my recollection) trying to ensure artists still have a claim to their body of work. I know the industry has come so far since then, but it feels like the moment everything started to slowly become “content” and not art.

I just want real people to actually enjoy my music. I don’t expect to make a living or even real money off my music, but I also don’t like someone else making money off my art and using it to train AI models.

I made something meaningful, no one else gets to decide that they wanna commodify it or use it to make slop.

You’re not wrong. That being said, I don’t hate Safari mobile, it’s pretty solid and has great compatibility. There’s something to be said for using the hardware most of the web if generally designed for.

Would love to see an iOS version. I do enjoy the FireFox functionality of seeing tabs on other devices easily.

The rise in political violence is caused by the right. If democrats really cared they would’ve stopped this before it got to this point. Too many of them didn’t want to lose their positions of power and let the GOP get away with whatever they want to not lose power.

This is a public servant position, if you want security don’t run for office. They work for us, not the other way around.

No. They can pay for that from all the stocks they own.

the slow drip of leaks is proving to be an effective strategy. Normally they flood the zone after a bombshell and the scandal gets buried. This time, whomever is conspiring against him is doing a much better job at keeping things tightly wrapped and leaking it slowly to keep the conversation relevant.

Most people will recommend avoiding any “smart” features on the TVs sets and say buy a monitor cause they have no smart features. Rightfully so, TVs can be privacy nightmares potentially.

That said I have recommendations for both:

Midrange TV pick: LG 48B5 - $529 at Best Buy

Fancy smaller Monitor Asus ROG Swift 32 OLED Monitor

Premium TV LG C5 (Available in 42, 48, 55, 65, 77, and 83 inch)

Ultra Premium LG G5 (Available in 55, 65, 77, and 83 inch)

Budget TV TCL QM7K

Budget Monitor Samsung G5 series

Pound for pound dollar for dollar LG makes the best OLEDs and overall TVs. Sony is good but not worth the premium anymore.

What would happen if we just fixed stuff. Like, the wealthy can still have it all, but then stuff wouldn’t be broken. Just like, fix things. When is someone going to step up and just pay to fix stuff?

There’s too many acronyms these days. Steven Colbert questions Large Hadron Collider’s decision? I never know what the headlines are talking about cause they all abbreviate and expect everyone to use the exact same acronyms as them.

Malcom Jamal Warner was a brilliant soul trying to enlighten the world and create a more understanding discourse.

Ozzy Osbourne was a cultural icon whose loss will reverberate through generations. He has left an indelible mark on music, television, and the world.

Hulk Hogan was once a pretty popular WWF (yes back then) wrestler.

One of these is not like the others.

In my experience, windows is an awful UX for gaming but it is very easy to install and run unauthorized games. Steam deck requires a bit more heavy lifting and patience.

I ran windows on my deck for a year and switched back because the experience is terrible and nothing works quite right. I haven’t used the newer windows handhelds, but the upcoming ROG might fix some of the issues with booting into windows and doing constant updates
