I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

bionicjoey,

Don’t think about the one actual subscription service here. Think about all of the features that are technologically built into the car that you can’t access without paying a subscription fee.

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

The word “soft” in “soft drink” is contrasting “hard” as in “alcoholic” (eg. “Hard cider”). Beer is decidedly not a soft drink.

bionicjoey,

Should add Reddit. Started out as FOSS, closed down their GitHub, then killed their API which killed dozens of third party integrations impacting hundreds of thousands of users.

bionicjoey,

I know I’m replying to my own comment but this reminded me of a joke I once read about the first Bioshock game (Bioshock spoiler incoming)

TitleWhen Andrew Ryan told me to kill him at the end of Bioshock, I shut off the game and deleted the save. A man chooses, a slave obeys.

bionicjoey,

In the second gen your mom can manage your finances for you, although she buys stuff with your money so I wouldn’t call it a bank exactly lol.

bionicjoey,

You’re allowed to return home anytime you want. Just walk your character into their bedroom, tuck them into bed, save, exit to the main menu, and delete the save. Congratulations, you have just completed the alternate ending to Pokémon.

If she joined Lemmy then I could block her account and I wouldn’t have to see her comics (as I did on Reddit). As it stands I don’t really want to block OPs account since they post and comment lots of different stuff. It’s nice to be able to block a specific creator from their own account rather than play whack-a-mole with freebooters.

And before people start saying I’m misogynist or something, I’m not. There are plenty of women webcomic artists I like. Extraordinary Comics and War and Peas just to name a couple. I just find pizzacake to be incredibly boring, low hanging fruit and barely even funny at all. Not trying to hurt feelings, I just don’t like her stuff and prefer to block it from my feed.

bionicjoey,

I bet you would have assumed I am a misogynist if I hadn’t mentioned it at all in my initial comment above. Something about this comic artist specifically just brings out the most rabid mental gymnastics in people. As I said, I know that she encourages this behaviour too. Before I blocked her on Reddit I remember seeing a few of her comics where the “joke” was literally just “haha look at how dumb and sexist my haters are”

bionicjoey,

I’m pre-empting because I know both she and fans of hers have concocted this meme that anyone who doesn’t like her comics is sexist.

So I finally did the math on data brokerage and worked out how much we're all being robbed

I know this isn’t strictly piracy related, I apologise, but I think it is tangentally related in that piracy protects you from data theft by avoiding the services the biggest thieves operate. Also, I feel like people here might be very interested in this take....

bionicjoey,

$53 is a lot less than I would have expected honestly. But I guess that’s a mean average figure. It’s going to be practically worthless for poorer people. And since wealth is not evenly distributed, and since personal data of people with disposable income is worth a lot more, the average internet user’s data is probably worth a lot more.

bionicjoey,

Reveal it on a sign in the room or by revealing a blackboard with it written then

bionicjoey,

Aren’t Starlings assholes? Or am I thinking of a different bird?

bionicjoey,

This feels like an interdimensional Peanuts cartoon

bionicjoey,

I’ve only seen LD, TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY. But this all seems accurate.

God forbid someone invented some kind of audio recording device… Captain’s log, stardate 43291…

bionicjoey,

Harambe was May 2016. That’s almost 8 years ago.

bionicjoey,

My dick still out and it’s been almost a decade.

bionicjoey,

I honestly don’t get this one… Like I get the comic but unless there’s something I’m missing I don’t understand the actual joke here. I know it’s a typical Far Side “what if humans, but animals?” comic, but I don’t get what’s being swapped out here. Is the joke that flies would call the news “poop”? Is the joke that the actual news is that there is poop?

bionicjoey,

Oh shit. I didn’t even think of that. That makes a lot of sense.

bionicjoey,

Ah okay. That makes sense

bionicjoey,

I really enjoy his early draft: “The Telltale Balls”
