Just to give you an example on how Europe is doing that: Licence plates are personal data. If you want to use them, you need the consent of users. Which you can’t get from drivers on a public street.

It is sadly becoming the standard in business settings. If your IT department is setting Edge as standard, there is not a lot that you can do

There are a few areas where the clock mechanic is really, really bad:

• If you go into the desert and try the dungeon there, you will run into the issue time running out. The bus is starting quite late and it takes time to go down the dungeon
• That also applies the first times you go to the island
• The community center also has this problem: You need to catch certain fish that might only be available in some seasons in some areas in certain times and you are really lost without the wiki there. And if you miss the time slot where those fish are available (or where you can grow certain crops) you need to wait another year before being able to progress.

And that is correct. Headaches are different. Some people are helped by aspirin. Aspirin comes in different forms, as pill, powder, stick, in different doses. Other people maybe need Ibuprofen or Paracetamol or even harder pain medications. Those also come in different forms and doses. So every of those 20 answers is correct and you need to find out what works for you.

The world is complex and you need to find out what works for you. The idea that one OS or one distro is perfect for everyone on this planet is wrong just as the idea that one medication in one specific dose can be perfect for a complex illness like headaches for every of those 8.5 billion people on this planet. You have to be willing to find what works for you - or just keep suffering from headaches.

Yeah, I know.

It’s insane how Microsoft is handling Xbox:

• They have their own console and Windows
• They bought everything they could and now own most of the biggest gaming franchises outside of Nintendo: Activision-Blizzard. Minecraft. Halo. Call of Duty. Warcraft. Starcraft. Diablo. Candy Crush. Elder Scrolls. Fallout. id software. Bethesda.

They have everything in place and are still getting slapped around by Valve and Sony and are now talking about shutting down everything?

We have this audiobook player for children in my country. That works by buying those little figures and if you place them on the player, the audiobook plays. I think that a system like that for “adult music” would be awesome. Buy some little figures and art pieces by your favorite band, display them on a shelf and use them to play music? Yeah, that would be awesome

And everybody who invests such money wants it back. With interest. They are currently trying to shove it everywhere, integrate it into workflows and the skillset of everybody and then they want all this money back and more.

Can you explain for everybody who doesn’t want to fly into the USA to visit a coal town in Montana what one will see there?

There is this little community here on Lemmy focussing on vintage german ads:

Ads have changed, but those ads telling you that your body is ugly and that you need $product to change it are old and have been around since the 19th century and the beginnings of modern advertisements. It is also quite interesting how old some of the usual scams are. There are currently people on TikTok scamming people with some method invented in the 1800s

Yeah - ads do work. The whole point of the surveillance ad system is to track how effective ads are. Companies can measure how many sales they get from their ads and calculate if they are still making a profit. And all those influencers peddling scam products with their special discount codes? People are buying those products.

So that kind of means that the high-end AAA PC market will crash in the next years, right? No new GPUs, production stop for existing GPUs and rising prices for GPU & RAM in combination with inflation and a bad economy ensure that many people can’t afford a gaming computer. And that a lot of those younger gamers can’t afford to start this hobby.

And that means a shrinking audience for games, which need all this GPU power. If you’re an AAA publisher, it kind of looks crazy to invest multiple millions into a game that you can’t be sure that your audience will be able to afford to play

That’s so wrong. They might have failed for now, but we’ll see them trying again. And again. Google is the worlds most valuable ad company. They earn billions every year by showing people ads and adblockers are costing them several billions every year. They will come back and they will try again.

If you have Android, you can install Firefox and use uBlock Origin there. It’s awesome :)

Let’s be honest: The internet without adblock is unusable. I really do not know how all those people without adblock are doing that.

The best thing about this is that it enables you to stop organizing all this paper. I have a little box next to my scanner and everything that is scanned is just getting put on top of the pile. In most cases you never need the original document anyways. But if you need it, you can check Paperless when it was scanned and you will find that document from Feb 2023 in a few seconds.

You are correct and incorrect at the same time. Yes, nobody should trust Meta. But Meta should also be dragged into every court available for their lies.

To make this clear: Patreon is a platform mainly used by creators, artists, musicians to get a reliable income directly from their fans. Apple is trying to steal 30% of the income of our favorite artists.

Yeah, not sure what OP is smoking. China is doing the right thing here. Build a lot of local solar & wind and gain independence from all those unreliable fossil fuel dictatorships while doing something to slow climate change.
