r/BirdsArentReal must be going nuts over this.

I feel like you’re missing the point. Showing a green dot still doesn’t solve the problem or make it ok, especially when this technology works in the background and can capture sound even while the device is in your pocket, like the article says.

I don’t think we should have to be on the lookout for a little dot showing up on the screen constantly. It shouldn’t even ask for microphone access unless it’s absolutely essential for the app’s main purpose. “Features” like this should always be off by default and buried deep in the settings. If people really wanted it (they don’t), they’d go in and turn it on themselves.

And yet, I feel like I struggle to find relevant content more on Mastodon than on Lemmy. Maybe I just still don’t know how to Mastodon.

I’m not a native speaker and I legit googled “what are casino 90° angels”, then I realized it was supposed to be “angles” and now I feel dumb lol

Who the fuck is paying $90 for a Nintendo game?

No one, the most expensive games on Switch 2 so far are $80. The meme is spreading false information just to make people angry and farm upvotes.

That’s perfect, let’s just say we’re having lunch at ‘Mexican Flat Round Bread Sandwich Bell’ now. Clearly, calling it Taco Bell is all part of some Democrats secret agenda to push MEXICAN on America!

Is that a real tweet?

Zuck: “we never let gender play a role in our hiring process.”

Also Zuck: “yeah, we need to hire more men.”

I’ll finally stop seeing its search bar constantly popping up on my parents’ browser toolbars!

I’ve been switching between Pokémon Legends: Arceus (I’m late to the party) and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

PL: Arceus was a bit disappointing. The concept is awesome, and when I first started playing, I thought it would be one of those games I wouldn’t be able to put down. But it got boring really fast. The world feels so empty, like I’m playing a beta test for an open-world Pokémon game.

I just started SMB Wonder, and at first, it felt a bit strange because it didn’t seem like a Mario game. But it grew on me quickly, and now I’m really enjoying it. The online co-op with random strangers works surprisingly well, though I wish they had explored it a bit more. I was also worried the game might be too easy, but the challenging stages showed up sooner than I expected. The Wonder Flower effect is really fun, and I’m always excited to see what it will do next.

I had the exact same fear when I was a kid, and crossing bridges was always very stressful for me. Even today, as an adult, it still bothers me a little, and when I’m driving I keep having these intrusive thoughts like: “What if I accidentally drive off this bridge?”

also pls rember that wen u feel scare or frigten never forget ttimes wen u feeled happy

wen day is dark alway rember happy day

I second this. I started watching “Undone” randomly while scrolling through the catalog, and I’m so glad I did. Absolutely loved it! The art style is nice, and I think Rosa Salazar is a great actress (she gives me huge Aubrey Plaza vibes too, which is cool).

My mind goes all over the place when I’m in bed, so I legit do stuff like this every night to help me relax and fall asleep. Like, I choose a theme and for each letter in the alphabet I start listing in my head as many things as possible. Last night I did Marvel characters, and I think I was asleep by letter ''F". It’s stupid and silly, but it totally works for me.

Bold of you to say something nice about Windows here on Lemmy, of all places.

I don’t think this is a good analogy, because rolling doubles three times is a matter of chance, so you can’t be “discouraged” to do it. While you can commit a crime willingly, rolling doubles is not something you can choose to do or really interfere with, it just happens and you’re screwed. (Or maybe I missed your point entirely, in which case I apologize.)

Now there’s at least three of us: you, me and George Costanza.

I miss having my library fully in mp3. I started using Deezer just for convenience, and I kept only the mp3 I have for rare songs and versions. Now every time Deezer kills a song in my playlists, I regret my decision, and I’m too lazy to rebuild my mp3 library. At least Deezer keeps the name of the song greyed out in the playlist, and if it finds another instance of the same song it’s easy to replace it.

It still doesn’t tell us what was changed in the system, just what are the terms to use it. If you’re using your license agreement instead of release notes or changelog to communicate what’s new, you’re doing it wrong.
