  • I hate ads too, but almost no normies are willing to pay for services, so I'm glad they have nitro to reduce ads in my face. It'd be nice if it wasn't that way but that's not my choice that's the choice of the collective to take ads for free stuff.

  • In my experience, places with lousy bourbon selection have even worse rye selection.

  • Google's New YouTube Warning: No Ad Blockers or Lose Your Account?

    Jump

  • This is a big one. I have a lot of Google photos usage, and while I've tried OneDrive and PrintDrive, and while both are decent they don't really match up and I've been hesitant to self host immach or something because to ke the point of a cloud photo storage was to be part of my 321 backup strategy.

    Getting bounced from photos for youtube usage would really be a tough pill, but it would definitely hasten my exit.

  • Another argument to consolidate specific topic communities: search

  • Definitely the biggest issue that I face. Managable, but frustrating at times.

  • While I mostly agree, the duplication of shared links is definitely a problem that is frustrating once you have a setup you like and follow a few similar communities.

  • Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you

  • I think most places have a senior freeze, so once you qualify it doesn't go up anymore.

  • FuckYourHeadlights - A community for people to organise and vent about ridiculously bright lights

    Jump

  • I don't see how running high beams held you see when there is oncoming cars with brighter lights. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that older cars are smaller and lower?

    I am not disputing new cars have higher brightness on regular lights, that absolutely is true. Though running high beams throws light both forward and up toward the oncoming drivers eyes.

  • I don't disagree. There are plenty of led upgrade kits that are way too bright regularly and also probably misaligned causing them to be double bad. Brighter than normal and aimed directly into your eyes.

    I'm with you though, driving at night used to be a lot different and more enjoyable than it is today with all these extremely bright lights pointed at your eyes.

  • There's a load of cars with headlights that are overly bright, but there is an even bigger epidemic of idiots driving around with high beams on as part of regular course.

    In the city there is no need for those, ever. Let alone always being on.

  • Cold Brew, anyone?

    Jump

  • When using the above concentrate, I'd go for a roughly 60/40 concentrate to cold water mixture.

    I usually fill a 20oz yeti with ice, then add concentrate and water to fill it up.

  • France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.

    Jump

  • That's being too generous. Some may not fully understand, but many do and simply don't care. Not sure if better or worse, but its not entirely lack of understanding.

  • Cold Brew, anyone?

    Jump

  • I start with a 3:1 ratio of water to grounds, maybe 4:1 by the time it mixes. I do mine in a mason jar, so I fill the jar to 500ml with grounds then I fill that up the rest of the way with water. Its a 1.75L jar so I figure about 1500ml water goes in as its mixing up with the grounds.

    Let sit for a day in the fridge and stir or shake occasionally.

    This makes a good concentrate, which I then mix with water to get the right taste.

  • James Cameron will reportedly open Avatar 3 with a title card saying no generative AI was used to make the movie

    Jump

  • AI or "algorithm" upscaling fundamentally creates something out of nothing. That's what upscaling is, so it is generative because its quite literally generating "guesses" at what should be there, pixel by pixel.

    Its literally the trope in movies where they're reviewing grainy security can footage and someone says "enhance" and its magically a crystal clear image. Its just that we have technology to do that now.

    I'd agree there's a semantics argument that using AI for upscaling is different than creating new, but its just that semantics.

  • I also seem to have quite a few domain names now, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence......

    Jump

  • Also different instances hide different communities and so they don't show up at all unless you are a direct subscriber.

    I learned about this on my instance when some news communities were hidden, turns out my instance has quite a list of hidden communities, which isn't a bad thing, but it can contribute to the incomplete timeline issue and if you don't know about the hidden communities feature its very hard to diagnose why you're not seeing what you expect to see.

    In my case I wasn't subscribed to some of the news communities because I would catch the top posts in /all, which keeps my subscribed feed focused on things I'm actively interested in. So hidden communities are a challenge when you use /all and /subbed in that way.

  • Windows LumiPhone? Modder elegantly fits 2022 iPhone into 2013 Nokia body

  • A case swap without any loss of functionality is pretty substantial. Sure its lots of work to get right back where you started (a working device), but that doesn't mean they did nothing.

    The effort to do it so seamlessly is pretty incredible, in my opinion.

  • The average user will go to join Lemmy and abort, because they can't grasp the idea that joining one server gets them into other servers. They worry about server selection, have analysis paralysis, and nope out. That's why they're asking for a bluesky reddit and not a mastodon reddit.

    Normie's want centralization because they don't understand how else it can work and while some can learn and have it explained many will give up before giving it a chance.
