HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Technology@beehaw.org•Chinese people flood TikTok with videos urging Americans to buy direct amid Trump tariffsEnglish8·3 months agoLooks both promising and sketchy at the same time. Have you personally tried these? How’s the ANC?
I think that’s one of the dilemmas of westworld. William starts off as you describe: peaceful, not really wanting to hurt the hosts at first. But he’s kind of like a fish out of water. To me it seems heavily implied that the only ones able to afford to go to Westworld are the rich psychopaths who exploit their own environment for personal gain. And we also get a look at how William turns out by the end…

Edit: I meant all year round. I hate that it gets dark so soon in the winter
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why have there been so many "free" streaming services for movies and TV but not for music?English2·6 months agoIts just a frontend for YouTube music essentially. Maybe worth taking a look if someone makes something similar now with sideloading being an option
Edit: 2 minutes of googling lead me to this https://github.com/rphrishi4/RiMusic4ios?tab=readme-ov-file

Ceck out this (android): ViMusic
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted solution for phone photo backupEnglish2·6 months agoLuckily the app is generally (but not always) backwards compatible. It’ll just nag you to upgrade the server.
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted solution for phone photo backupEnglish1·6 months agoThe server doesn’t, except if you have watchtower or something similar.
The app auto updates on your phone though, unless turned off.
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted solution for phone photo backupEnglish341·6 months agoLike everyone is saying, Immich.
But keep an eye on updates because it is under active development so breaking changes tend to happen every once in a while.
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is DuckDuckGo/Bing still viable for piracy?English6·7 months agoOne of the things I like about DDG is that you can turn localised results on/off whenever you like and even chose the location. Also localised search is pretty good for me too.
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your hot take on the Marvel cinematic Universe?English11·7 months agoThey kinda ruined it with the multiverse. Everything feels without consequence. Death is meaningless and there are no stakes now
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Assuming AI advance to the point that majority of the people accept them. What's stopping us from having our own AI personal representatives instead of voting another person in?English2·7 months agoBudapest is a good day for you to be a choice between Sony and the best of success and success in the future and you have to set up as usual on one of the fully featured apps like android or Windows and then log in on ios and select external player to choose a different career and not apply to the first year of Donald Trump. Or 5th of the season and the others cannot be bothered to respond no matter what channel I use to ask them to do it in the future of the UK has some sort of npu type.
Oh no:(
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago?English25·7 months agoSorry to make you feel old but 10 years ago 4k was already mainstream, and you would have already had difficulty finding a good new 1080p TV. That is roughly the start of proper HDR being introduced to the very high end models.
Also, maybe you’ve only experienced bad versions of these technologies because they can be very impressive. HDR especially is plastered on everything but is kinda pointless without hardware to support proper local dimming, which is still relegated to high end TVs even today. 4k can feel very noticeable depending on how far you sit from the TV, how large the screen is, and how good one’s eyesight is. But yeah, smaller TVs don’t benefit much. I only ended up noticing the difference after moving and having a different living room setup, siting much closer to the TV.
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?English9·8 months agoNew year’s eve. I’m generally not a depressed person but new year’s eve just reminds me of the unstoppable passage of time and how I have one fewer year left here and haven’t achieved a fraction of what I want to. Just really depressing stuff, generally. Being at a party with cheerful friends and alcohol helps a bit.
Same with birthdays a bit, but not as bad.
HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?English5·8 months agoI’m sorry, but why do you care if people wear hot clothes in warm places?For me it’s enshittification, stupid policies in any institution or just overrergulation in general.

HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why people keep saying that Ubisoft is no longer a good video game company, like they were in the past?English27·8 months agoPrince of Persia, Sprinter Cell, earlier AC and Farcry games deifinetly have a cult following; and for good reason. Some of these were not only inventive, even genre defining games but also commercial successes, meaning many people got to enjoy them and have fond memories.
It feels like these days the focus is on extracting as much shareholder value out of gamers via microtransactions which means game design has changed, often for the worse: making longer, more drawn out games and progression which you can speed up by paying and also forcing the player to spend more time on the game hoping you will buy more microtransactions, loot boxes or tiered gear (pay for higher number - more damage, etc.)
It also doesn’t help that writing has also generally suffered. Not that older games had perfect storylines but at least they had loveable characters. Try playing a modern ubisoft game and it is this designed by committee, appealing to the widest possible audience slop that even Giancarlo Esposito can’t make interesting.
Overall, older games feel like they had some soul. Even if it was a huge corporate machine back then too, there were more passionate people involved in their creation. The modern games are technically better in many ways, but they lost some of what made them special.
Straight to jail
