Android has it. As does Windows, for taskbar icons anyways.

MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.deto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Should i pirate EVERYTHING or only things that i bought, but do not own?English41·1 day agoI pirate what’s any good that I cannot find legally for streaming, as well as educational stuff that I want available should I and/or my family find ourselves without internet access.
Sometimes I’ll go so far as to pirate things that I cannot find without ads(even with premiums*), but mostly if it’ll let me see the first few minutes before playing an ad, I just live with it.
* The only reason I still have Amazon Prime is for the free shipping. I pay extra for no ads. I pay extra for HiDive. There appear to be things available on Prime with HiDive that aren’t available on just Prime or just HiDive. Magically, those shows(Ranma 1/2, for example) have ads. WTF?
None of these companies have ethics. Why should you get hung-up in ethics for a victimless crime?

Until then, its just an expensive brick, waiting to happen.
MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.deto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Choosing Between All the Knowledge in the Universe and One of Your Friends9·3 days agoIs test. No-one willing to trade a friend should be given such knowlege freely. Conversely, no-one should bear such a burden alone.
Can we break it up among my friend-group with a decent bit of overlap? Except for the moral hazard stuff; Break that up among us into the smallest, least coherent bits possible.

If you are unable to do that, theres Degoogled Phones. Your Bank? Theres cheap used Phones.4·3 days agoOh no, overseas might know as much about me as my fascist government does!! Seriously, when I ditch the US, I might start worrying about China, but until then, I hope my FBI/NSA handler and CCP spy meet up for drinks on the regular to mock my shitposts.

MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.deto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•*Permanently Deleted*English1·9 days agoSeriously though, for people who can keep a grasp on reality, the older editions had the potential to be far more useful. Many of the newer versions have not been more powerful so much as more sanitized, and as the web fills up on AI slop, the need to sanitize the output of AI trained on newer data-sets is only going to get worse.
A lot of what I said on the first half of that paragraph only applies to ChatGPT specifically though, as theirs is the progress I’m read-up on.

Though there would be no water, and likely no power hookups this way.

If you’re not already following nsfw story-writers on tumblr, I gotta tell you, as someone who does NOT like a lot of this stuff, its almost unavoidable over there. Happy hunting!

MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.deto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Anyone tried cloud gaming?English6·15 days agoIts not “the Cloud” if its your own systems from top-to-bottom … More like Remote Play? … Seems Sony, Microsoft, and Valve all use that terminology for Streaming Gameplay from their consoles to another device.
Streaming to another location than where your Server is setup is tricky, mostly due to latency and establishing a connection that doesn’t get throttled(or compromised) by the ISPs involved. Personally, when I tried to get into it, about 10 years ago, I didn’t have the budget for a GPU that could be persuaded to support it at all.
Today, I’m more likely to keep such a server in my vehicle(on Battery/Solar), so its always just a local connection away, if I were to bother with the budget and hassle involved*. Around the house, I’ll just slap a new desktop together where I want to play games, or game on my laptop, and call it done.
*Ideally, I could build this for less than my good laptop would cost to replace, and use something much closer to outright disposable to game outside of my car. In practice, I just bring my good laptop with me everywhere, risk be damned.
Two of my kids are working-age with their own debit cards, and have their amazon accounts linked to mine. My MIL’s credit card is attached to my account, so anything she wants to order, she just sends me a link. My wife just straight-up has all my logins when it comes to spending money.
… All that, and paying for it once is easier to explain/deal with versus every order having to be >$35 . It’s a pain to get my wife to actually order things she wants/needs as it is.
Basically, I would rather stop dealing with that company entirely, for ethical reasons, than put more thought into my dealings with them with each transaction.
