I will never understand wireless headphones as a concept. They seem objectively worse in every way.

Lower sound quality, more battery intensive, have to be charged, less comfortable, easier to drop and way easier to lose. Also, makes you look like you’re talking to yourself all the time

What

I have literally never turned it on

It wastes battery and offers literally no benefit whatsoever

So, maybe a weird question, but what are you doing with your phone exactly that you need to turn on Bluetooth on a daily basis?

Plagiarism is a bad thing

Including plagiarising the dictionary

Protests are very good at causing civil unrest, damaging public property, making other peoples days worse, and swaying their view further away from your cause

If any of those are your goal, they can be quite effective

I love the irony that people nuke your comment

Yup, calling bs on the article, since a pc is both cheaper and easier than a phone. Besides, if you know how to navigate a window and type into a textbox (both required for YouTube) you know how to write a digital form

This article is made up drama

You mean like how you fully purchased a premium account?

I wonder why there are no laws against eforced, unilateral contract adjustments like this. Especially considering “no ads” was an explicit part of the original purchase

It is getting better though. We are all just facing the issues of our era’s.

Tech keeps going up, we are slowly making progress on climate change, the space race is back on, and superpowers don’t directly fight eachother anymore. Hell, we’ve proven to beat once in a century pandemics in a few years with relatively speaking barely any deaths. Life’s good

I feel the opposite. Still all but one opinion gets drowned out. It’s just that now the opinion that survives is the one that screams the loudest rather than the mainstream one

I would consider that a downside tbh

I’d like to add Xcom: enemy within to this list

Botanically they are. Culinary they are not.

Some languages split the word “fruit” up in those two cases. In Dutch for example, the botanical definition of fruit translates to “vrucht” whereas the culinary definition translates to “fruit”.

So, a tomato is a “vrucht” but it’s not “fruit”

Does half of Lemmy come from the same town, or has closed source software poisoned more than one well?

Coming from an outsider, could you give an example of a way Google attacks people individually and directly?

Preferably something more common than traffic accidents, since people drive cars regardless

What’s the second one

You know, so I can block it too

Horror should still be nsfl
