I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 shortly after release and got a popup from Bing over the game asking if I wanted to enable Bing in Chrome. I immediately blocked bing.com on my network. Never looked back.

We all forgetting Maggie just straight-up murdered someone for trying to take her lollipop?

Pretty attached. My parents picked it.

If I could just be "Bill" everywhere I would but it really only works on the fediverse.

"Innocent until proven guilty" only applies to the state. I wouldn't want him chasing my daughter, would you? Private companies and individuals are fully entitled to treat him like he's guilty based on their own appraisal of the evidence.

I agree with you about Google. Even though it's good that the rapist doesn't get to make bank by spreading conspiracy theories, it'd be better if they took the videos down. Whereas traditional media outlets and theatres are cancelling his shows and saying (as is their right) that they don't want to work with him, Google's like "we'll work with you but we're not paying you". Not exactly the ethical stance they make it out to be, is it?

I still read it but I stopped posting as soon as Elon Musk bought it. I'm not creating content for free for a billionaire (derogatory) fascist. I'll tweet on Bluesky or Mastodon occasionally and still call it a tweet and if I want to say something longer I've got a blog nobody reads and if there's something I want to chat about there's Lemmy.

That's a coincidence, I was drooling over this exact keyboard just this morning. I like a numeric keypad in the office but most keyboards are just a little too wide. Hope you enjoy it. Which switches did you go for?

I used Tidal for a bit and quite liked it, though it has quite a few gaps in its library compared to Spotify and YouTube Music. I signed up for Dolby Atmos music, which was hella cool but I blew through all the Dolby Atmos content I wanted to hear before the 30 day trial was up.

Quality wise, as others have said if you're using standard Bluetooth SBC it doesn't matter anyway. If you've got decent gear and actually use it then it's worth paying for Hi-Fi but that's not most people.

Free trial though. Can't go wrong with that.

The new version no longer crashes on launch on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, so whatever you did fixed that. The scrolling speed is too slow with a mouse wheel in Samsung DeX though. App looks great otherwise and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more.

Veeam Agent going to a NAS on-site and the NAS is backed up nightly to IDrive because it's the cheapest cloud backup service I could find with Linux support. It's a bit slow, very CPU-bound, but it's robust and their support is pretty responsive.

Yeah but it's free advertising on Lemmy and there's only like ten of us here.

I used to like that. I got to browse cool and interesting content from all kinds of different sources while also being constantly low-key horny. When they took porn out of r/all is the day Reddit died.

I think it's okay to keep discussing this because the app situation is very much in flux at the moment. I'm on Jerboa because it's the best native app I've found that plays nice with a folding phone and Samsung DeX. My requirements are simple, but they are niche. I'm keeping an eye on a few other apps though because while Jerboa is great as it is there are improvements to be found.

 

Hi. The app looks great but it's unfortunately unusable with a mouse in Samsung DeX. I don't know which of those is the problem, maybe someone has a bluetooth mouse to hand and can check? It only scrolls a few pixels at a time and grabbing with the mouse cursor (so clicking and dragging) doesn't seem to work at all. Thanks.
