The title certainly makes it sound like Reddit removed a post from Lemmy and not necessarily about Lemmy lol

At least games make sense, as the graphics get better. Though in some cases, the compression is also better. Like PS5 games are smaller on average than their PS4 versions, even though they have higher resolution textures in most cases, just because the PS5 has better compression/decompression tech.

Did the question of androids dreaming of electric sheep actually get answered in the novel? 🤔

I planned on getting my dad a sound bar for his TV on his birthday because the TV he uses, the plastic grill over the speaker vibrates something fierce and it sounds like absolute garbage any time something with any amount of bass plays. But maybe I can just glue some rocks to it 🤔

Which ones? The ones I get only have instructions for the whole bag or half the bag. I gotta figure out how not to burn them when I just want 10.

That’s not untrue though… Putting rocks on your sound system could make the rocks vibrate against it and sound like utter shit.

Can’t necessarily make it dumb, but you can change how the smart works without buying a whole new TV by getting something like a Roku stick or any other device similar that runs on android that you can then hack/modify to run side loaded apps and such to get around the bullshit built into the TV.

Of course if you’re already planning on getting a new TV you could just get one that runs on Android already and do the same thing. Basically if it runs on Android, there are tons of tools to make it not suck all over GitHub.

“It’s your prerogative, sir.”

“Yes… It is.”

Guys like Aaron will always be forced out by guys like Steve because guys like Aaron don’t want to be assholes, which is a necessity guys like Steve have no issue with.

That’s the one!

I started watching a dude the other day who put up one video so far chronicling a journey of using these kind of brain cell computer chips to make something that can play Doom.

I may be remembering wrong but I think it might be someone who worked on that pong thing… He briefly talked about it in the video I mention above.

I really can’t wait for the second part. The first one was mostly about how he set up the growth medium and fed the cells, as well as showing off the chips and what problems they ran into so far doing things the way they were doing them. Next one is supposed to get more into the doing stuff and I am hella interested in that.

Why? So I can have more trouble? :P

Liftoff is as close to RIF in terms of function I have found so far (especially with the last update adding comment context buttons), but I am also waiting on Boost for Lemmy to launch to compare, as it has a UI a little closer to RIF’s.

None of them have the ability to jump around to top comments like RIF had, but Liftoff does at least seem to want to add those features as they progress, which is another reason I’m sticking with it over Jerboa and Connect ATM.

If there ever was a place and time that “if you make it, they will come” was true, it’s here and now.

It could also be partly because mods left and no longer take a chunk of it away through active moderation.

I haven’t seen a good AMA on that sub for over 5 years already. This, to me, is like hearing that someone shot my already dead dog. Upsetting, but I had already moved on.

512 bean time!

The places I used to hang out with PHPBB or similar forums never really had problems with bots. And I’m at least pretty sure they were popular places. Penny-Arcade, Something Awful, NewGrounds, eBaums World…

They also weren’t a problem for small users either. Not only was there no incentive, they didn’t necessarily get discovered by web crawlers. I remember wondering why my websites never showed up on search engines when I first started fucking around with webpages, web hosting, networks, etc. I hosted the server, I had a domain name, I was online and could access my site from other computers solely through the internet; but it never came up on Yahoo or Dogpile and I didn’t know why. The first time I ever found my own site on a search engine, it was using a hosting site like Geocities. And that was after Google came out and I was getting archived versions of the first website I ever made.

Gold is a better conductor than copper and gold also does not corrode. So they actually are better cables, since the thing the cable does is made significantly easier and less prone to failure when the wires and connectors are gold and not copper or some other metal that doesn’t conduct electricity as well.
