borlax, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?
@borlax@lemmy.borlax.com avatar

Because controversy makes money and conservatism is filled with controversial opinions and purposely obtuse takes intended to spark conversation and promote divisiveness. That’s the grift.

I’ve found that Eucaliptus plants deter mosquitoes pretty well

DreamySweet, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?
@DreamySweet@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I need constant noise from something like a fan to sleep.

andreluis034, in What password manager do you recommend?

I think bitwarden fills all of your requirements.

float, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Galaxy S10e gang checking in. Resoldered the USB port because it was corroded. Everything else is working perfectly fine. No plans to ditch it as of now.

Got any clues on a modern compact device, other than Asus Zenfone 10? Its getting so bad for us compact enjoyers, and all the research makes me end up either on Zenfones, Sonys and budget Oppos/Vivos.

FiftyShadesOfMyCow, (edited ) in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

GTA San Andreas on the PS2! (Barely remember it though because I was a smol wee little boy)

Other than that, Skyrim! This freakin game introduced me to the wonderful world of Bethesda Games! ❤️

Edit: Boy, there are many people here with decades of experience. I’m just 21, guys, don’t make me feel left out 🥲

deleted. double post.

ok apparently not double post.

i had gta3 up to san andreas on ps2 and pc. played a multiplayer mod for san an, glitchy but fun.

elder scrolls is fun. need to get back to daggerfall unity and finish it.

you dont have to feel left out. grab something like retroarch and dive in.

FiftyShadesOfMyCow,

Got it! Thanks!

Albinoss, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

My first one was NES. I was just the right age in the late 80s to be caught in all of it. Funny thing is, I don’t remember asking for it. I think my parents just got me one, but I fell in love with games from that point on.

Heck, my second system was the Genesis, and I didn’t ask, or know about it, either! One of the best memories I have of growing up.

Went to the movies with family friends. When I came back, my dad had set up the Genesis and had Altered Beast playing on the tv. Coming from only knowing the NES, my mind was blown.

Thanks for the excuse to walk down memory lane.

crossfadedragon,

i was mainly into nintendo growing up, except for ps2. dark cloud was awesome. music was catchy but i loved how the weapon system worked.

my favorite memory was getting n64 for christmas. stayed up all night playing san fran cisco rush with my brother.

Onlytanner, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation. I sucked at it then and still do lol.

MarcelloRod,

I was scarred by the OG Crash and it took a long time to convince myself to buy the remastered version. The time it took to go for platinum still haunts me :D

solrize, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I have Android 7 and Jerboa {the official Lemmy app) requires Android 8 or higher. So people told me to upgrade but I wasn’t having that. It turns out there is a fork with Android 6 and 7 support that might get merged into mainline, so my phone will be cool for a while longer. But the upgrade pressure is out there.

godofpainTR,

Android 7 is quite old though, isn’t there any custom ROM development for your phone? I know there are downsides but it’s usually been fine for me

solrize, (edited )

I am not sure of the custom rom situation but I use this phone every day so I don’t want to mess with it. I can consider it if I get a new phone while the old one still works.

You can use the web version and hold on to your phone even longer 😉

solrize,

I had trouble with the web version but it works now so I’m using it. I’ll try Jerboa again sometime. I had to uninstall the 0.17 fork I was using after lemmy.world upgraded it’s backend.

Reverendender, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

Atari Lynx! It was awesome, but it broke all the time.

crossfadedragon,

handheld right? never played one but a friend had an atari jaguar.

we played some independence day game for it. i remember being put off by the controller. i was more of a fan of the n64 one.

Vendetta9076, (edited ) in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

-40C and +40C. Both in the same place and in the same year. Fuckin save me.

nebm51,

Add “in the same place” and you would have said Siberia without saying it

Vendetta9076,
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh it was in the same place. I should have made that clear, but incorrectly assumed it was implied.

Did you check your gutters?

Imgonnatrythis, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

Anything short of premetherin yard fogging once a month is dicking around.

NoMoreCocaine, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Not to be that guy, but you can say “don’t recommend this channel again” to YouTube. I haven’t seen Quartering, Asmogold, etc for years now. Unless you search for them.

stappern,

i keep clicking it and i keep getting served right wing propaganda, which i never watch not even on regular youtrube so IDK wtf is up with youtube.

Tartas1995,

I had the issue that I got Andrew Tate shit recommended. I said don’t recommend that, and block the uploader. Youtube still suggested me that video. Exactly that video.

stappern,

this. i made a point to click that for every slightly right wing stuff, i still get it.

GrandFunkMonorail, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

Hottest was 115 F (46C) in Phoenix, Arizona. Coolest was -55 F (-48C) in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. I think the wind chill was around -85 F.
