Has Techlore sold out?
  • I used to watch Techlore too, but the final nail in the coffin for me was saying he was using stock Android

  • Has Techlore sold out?
  • Thanks for the detailed breakdown, I think I get the broad strokes now.

    It's difficult to parse when your brain defaults to "one of these parties are unfairly maligned" - when the truth is they're both shitty.

    It's a shame. Some years ago I got a lot of value from both websites, but haven't really followed digital privacy trends lately. It's such a time sink to gauge the value of everything by yourself.

  • Has Techlore sold out?
  • I think I got confused by this Lemmy post claiming it was taken over, not "attempted". If it was taken over, then why would they shoot themselves in the foot?

    This is all really insane. But there are people here saying that privacyguides are reputable.

    Privacytools seems shadier though, even if they're claiming to be victims.

    This is all too much drama.

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • Even if you don't want cold bread, you shouldn't skip the fridge step. The slower the thawing process, the better the bread.

    Maybe it's just me, but fridge bread doesn't taste stale. The cold bread tastes more like a desert than room temperature bread.

  • Has Techlore sold out?
  • Wait, I'm confused. Why would privacytools.io host this article?

  • Has Techlore sold out?
  • privacytools.io doesn't even list NordVPN as an ad anymore...

    Is there another trustworthy site which compares different platforms?

  • Introducing Docs in Proton Drive
  • Jesus Christ.

    Andy should hire some bodyguards.

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • I used to live in the tropics.

    This is standard. Half the bread goes in the freezer immediately.

    When you finish the first half, move the frozen bread into the fridge.

    Refrigerated bread is good once you get used to it.

  • On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?
  • Quick to call other people kids as an insult.

  • The fact that we have gotten this confused is all the evidence I need to change how this works.

  • Make it stop.
  • What's everyone's take on mewing?

    It seems to make sense to me.

    I've seen others say it's bullshit.

    I started doing it periodically a few weeks ago, and I just had an oral bone spur break through my gums from a tooth extraction I had over ten years ago.

    So it makes me think the mewing changed something in my lower jaw enough for some fragments of bone to come loose and make their way out.

  • “Don’t worry honey, I got this”
  • It's interesting to me to think about the optics of posting memes like this.

    On one hand, it's funny, and 99% of the Lemmy community would vote for him over Trump.

    On the other, if it was posted anywhere else I would be worried about the implication of scoring an own-goal.

    I'm scared the election will be a close call, I really don't know how good of an idea it is to clown on Biden (even though, as aforementioned, it's funny, and shouldn't convince anyone to vote for Trump).

  • “Don’t worry honey, I got this”
  • Some were, some weren't. He did have some senior moments, like claiming he wanted to beat medicare.

  • Steam announces game recording beta.
  • Just for the sake of being fair, Steam does do one thing which is anticompetitive; they require publishers don't sell their games for less than they do on Steam.

    If you think about this for a moment you'll realise it's in the publisher's best interest to agree to this.

  • Steam announces game recording beta.
  • One of the problems Epic has is that it is only a store front. Steam is a fully featured platform.

    Epic, in their lawsuit, wants to break Steam's store and platform into separate applications, so they can compete.

    Sort of like how people want to have different app stores on their iphones.

    Difference is: Steam has no restrictions in the first place. You can add non-Steam games to the client if you want. You can use Proton if you want.

    Steam offers all of these features for free. What is the point in breaking them apart.

  • Acheron Trailer - "Your Color"

    They can't keep making trailers this good, they have to run out of fuel soon, right?

    Would you care if a robot suffered more than any being in existence?

    Assuming AI can achieve consciousness, or something adjacent (capacity to suffer), then how would you feel if an AI experienced the greatest pain possible?

    Imagine this scenario: a sadist acquires the ability to generate an AI with no limit to the consciousness parameters, or processing speed (so seconds could feel like an eternity to the AI). The sadist spends years tweaking every dial to maximise pain at a level which no human mind could handle, and the AI experiences this pain for what is the equivalent of millions of years.

    The question: is this the worst atrocity ever committed in the history of the universe? Or, does it not matter because it all happened in some weirdo's basement?

    Can I break my monitor's LED?

    I own a Samsung monitor, and when it's in standby mode the LED blinks all night. My hearing is so sensitive, and my room so quiet, that I can actually hear the LED powering on and off.

    So, every night I power it off manually. Sometimes I forget as I turn my PC off, and as I'm laying comfortably in bed, falling asleep, I hear it cycling, so I have to get out of bed, walk over, and turn it off, which delays my sleep.

    At this point I'm tempted to take off the bottom panel and break the LED with a screwdriver, but I'm worried that this might change how the current flows through the monitor's circuit board.

    I would appreciate any advice, suggestions or insights, thanks in advance!
