Yeah — stop making me reset the god damn oven, microwave, and coffee maker every time the power flickers. At the very least my coffee maker has a small battery in it that seems to endure shorter outages, but if manufacturers aren’t willing to have a back up battery for this, then they should take out the god damn clock altogether. It’s mostly pointless— especially these days. My microwave is so tedious too — it asks the day, month, and year. Why does my microwave need to know the fucking date? It actually serves no purpose.

It’s because the “algorithm” looks at the average watch time and promotes content that people tend to watch to the end, so they incentivize creating content that has some punchline at the end, or that is just so confusing that you spend the whole time trying to figure out what is going on so you’re less likely to swipe away. If your mind can easily make a judgement about what you’re watching, you’re more likely to decide it’s something you don’t want to watch, and then swipe before the end. This counts against content in the algorithm.

The story is about how his capitalist boss cut his wages so he couldn’t afford to give his family a Christmas gift. Now can you relate?

The second one reminds me of elementary school because we had exactly that model.

Really? I don’t see them represented

Didn’t know about Luigi being blocked. Is there a post about that?

As for parenthood, I’m guessing it is on some blocklist of words related CSAM. Parenthood is associated with children after all. It’s obviously a blunt instrument to block things this way and results in “false positives.”

Lemmy.World got inundated with CSAM in its early days

I’ll learn it if you pay me $1 million/year

A little “narrow minded” here leaving out the Indians, Mexicans, Eastern European, and Chinese.

The Japanese have already perfected smart toilets. There is no app, but there are loads of buttons, including for a heated seat and some music or ambient sounds to help you relax and disguise unpleasant noises.

Japanese have great breakfast food, but they don’t eat it in the morning

Probably needs to do that on the other side

I like Adam Jensen myself

Thanks for the idea, but have you considered spending it all on bombs instead?

Why is Ukraine against?

Me 20 years ago whenever that commercial came on:

makes deep voice E.A. Sports. it’s in the game!

Fuck yeah! I love you EA!

now:

EA pulls more bullshit

fuck you EA!

At work once, some guy was watching YouTube videos in the bathroom stalls with sound on. He was also laughing at the videos. What a fucking weirdo! What kind of animal does this?

No ringing or text ping noise either. Use vibrate like a civilized human.

Is this a meme?

When I play online games I just mute everyone. Gaming is my relaxing time and I don’t feel like listening to people throwing around insults or being obnoxious. There is very little team strategy discussion in most games anyway.
