Technology@lemmy.world•LG TVs and monitors said to surveil users and install bloatware without askingEnglish
1·1 day agoYou don’t even need to jailbreak LG ones, just enable developer mode, install webosbrew, and install things like youtube adfree and space cadet pinball
I got them all, but to be fair I’ve been playing Travle for a while now specifically to improve my county knowledge (and I still mess up on Scotland)

We most certainly do not, “spill the tea” is a recent American import muscling out the native “spill the beans” like some linguistic grey squirrel
Wow, I even looked at the picture of some salami and didn’t consider that’s what “slommy” was meant to mean. Sounds like an urban dictionary entry.

9·5 days agoI’ve only ever heard of people going to Antarctica from the south of Chile (though I guess it depends where in Antarctica you’re trying to get to)

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•What solution, if any, do you use for gaming in bed?English
7·6 days agoI’ve got a sort of “gamer’s breastfeeding pillow”, basically a chunky inflatable half-hexagon which works pretty well

You can choose the instance and even the software you use, isn’t providing different choices exactly what you want?
By “tap to pay” do you just mean contactless payments? They do work, just not via Google Pay. I’m using something called “Curve Pay” which seems to work perfectly (and it’s now owned by Lloyd’s Bank in the UK so it’s not like its some random company I’m trusting). I believe there are other third party providers, apparently the PayPal app works but only if you’re in Germany.
Or just tape your card to the back of your phone for the simplest solution.
I think some people want the idea of a service that’s absolutely perfect, and anything with any flaw is just as bad as the actual bad thing. The likes of Signal and Proton aren’t perfect, but they’re so much better than the big tech defaults that the only ones benefiting from people shitting on them are the corpos we’re trying to get away from!
More power to you if you can get all your friends to switch to the optimal self-hosted FOSS solution, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

That’s the one I was thinking of. It’s a slow process, but it does happen.

2·11 days agoLol, it’s not looking very likely

















Sounds like classic roguelike behaviour to me, starts off insanely difficult but the thing you unlock is the knowledge of how the game works and how to beat the hard parts
