I have a Pixel 6 and it’s like they specifically engineered this thing to be as drop-prone as possible. Without a case, it’s SO slippery.

Thanks! I haven’t watched The Beach House yet, but Dagon is great

It’s so good. They pick up some pretty niche shit that bigger services wouldn’t even think of.

Because there are a lot of people out there who don’t know about or understand all this, and I don’t think a regular consumer should be expected to know about weird software quirks to be protected from a company’s rapaciously anti-consumer policies.

Apple? More like Crapple, am I right, fellas?

This is a quote from Aaron Swartz, a guy who (kinda sorta) co-founded Reddit, not the current CEO. Swartz has been dead for ten years and never had any leadership position with Reddit.

This person HAS to be doing a bit. There’s no way that was serious.

Eh, this doesn’t seem like a pipe dream, or even unlikely. It’s in every EV manufacturer’s best interest for there to be a big network of charging stations with universal compatibility.

Exactly. I don’t need a new car now, but when I do in a few years, it’ll definitely be an EV (I have solar panels on my roof, so it’s a total no-brainer). Five years ago, it would’ve been a Tesla, but now, that Mustang Mach looks awfully compelling.

This has got to be the death knell for Tesla, right? They used to be the only game in town if you wanted an EV with a long range and a design that looks like a regular car, but that hasn’t been the case for the last few years. The only real selling point they have now is the robust network of charging stations, and if that advantage goes away, there is literally no reason to buy a Tesla vehicle instead of a comparably priced EV from a traditional car company.

Yeah, Lemmy is for obsessively shitposting about Reddit, not Twitter.

WORST.

They should’ve called it Google Circles. Google Plus just sounded like some kind of premium subscription to Google and not like a social network.

Okay well now I’m interested. I’ve been looking for a fun new cult to join.

It just depends on the content. I have a 4K 65" TV that is at the upper end of mid-range in quality and 4K is definitely a noticeable improvement over 1080p in most instances, but a lot of the time it’s only noticeable if you’re specifically looking for it and doesn’t actually improve the viewing experience all that much. I do think it’s worth the upgrade though, just for the instances where it really does have a positive effect. Like, watching the Hong Kong fight scene in Pacific Rim on a good quality 4K display is just an entirely different experience than it is on a good 1080p display.

The content is worthy of it. (So, you know, not some talking head sitting at a desk like your average Youtuber.)

That’s the most important thing. The last two things I watched in 4K on my TV were the Avatar sequel and Community. One of those is absolutely a different experience in 4K than it is in 1080p, and the other may as well be in 720p for all the difference it makes.

I’m talking about Community, obviously. Joel McHale is dreamy and deserves 8K at minimum.
