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

Healthy optimism

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

To increase humanities control over its environment. The form that takes is a secondary concern

Let’s be real here, it’s the second one

For all intents and purposes it was free word

I haven’t really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.

Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn’t be arsed to upload the file to Google docs

I guess it will be missed for that

Not everything that isn’t ublock is automatically bad. Especially if you just want an adblocker and not also all the other stuff it comes with

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

You’re right that I inverted it numerically

Though, that’s a communication thing. White people are a minority worldwide but never referred to as such. I used the standard way to refer to the different races even though that is statistically incorrect in the hope of it being more directly obvious what I meant

He means Apartheid

That one went so far that south Africa is the only country to voluntarily unilateraly give up its nuclear arsenal when a minority risked getting to power

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

Holding spacebar pressed used to play the video at half speed, due to pausing and unpausing extremely quickly

Now it plays the video at double speed, meaning that I have to set playback speed manually when I want to watch in slow motion

I can see this being preferable in the long run, but damn if it isn’t annoying in the present

Lemmy really needs a super-upvote system
