This is your reminder that tiktok has always been brain rot and you need to delete your account and app.
The fact it was bought by Nazi’s to spread their propaganda is just one more reason for people to delete the app and give them the least amount of views possible.
I would love to start a petition to ban tiktok in states once they turn it into GestapoTok. I mean the right is all about states rights right?
I spent months on Rtings looking up ratings, pricing, checking out tv sub’s and i came to the conclusion that you have 2 options.
spend $1500+ and get a Sony TV, the model doesn’t really matter as they are all better than their counterparts. I wanted MiniLED- but they were about $2,000.
Go the budget route and get a Hisense/TCL TV for $600-800 and use the other $1000 you saved for a home theatre system/ 4k player, etc.
LG makes great OLED’s, but you do need to be aware of burn in if you watch lots of news channels. Also the pricing is much higher and the technology for Mini LED’s is getting much better every year.
Avoid ALL Samsung TV’s as they are poorly made and will break quickly like all other samsung products.
I have a TCL 6 series Mini LED and love it. It has Dolby Vision, little glare, and it’s bright AF (not sure of the NIT rating). I also have a hisense U75 series mini LED and the picture quality is fantastic. The OS is buggy and it freezes, crashes every month or so. But both my TCL and Hisense have buggy OS’s and freeze randomly, just the cost of a cheaper TV.
I didn’t have my TCL hooked up to the internet for a couple years and used my computer for everything. Then i realized my computer cannot process 4k with HDR, so i connected them to the internet and set up Plex and they both look fantastic with 4k HDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision.
Their build in speakers are the worst i have ever heard, even the Hisense with it’s supposed 2.1 speaker setup, they both sound horrible and you WILL need a good AV home theatre setup, or at the very least, a good quality soundbar.
Yeah, this is not a normal thing to do and clearly another way to try and make anyone who isn’t MAGA, look like a criminal.
I’m sure they will find the majority of the hate speech is from right wing extremists, but then they will not post the research, or they will do their best to hide it from public view.
The administration has zero intention of being honest and helping society, so i really hope none of these CEO’s do anything to coddle the crybabies in office. Let them cry themselves to sleep.
People thinking they are famous on social media is one of the largest downfalls of society. Openly voting for a traitor and a pedophile so you can blend in with the other MAGA’s isn’t the flex you think it is.
Congrats! Glad to have you. Moderating is not easy and mostly you never get any thanks for volunteering. We appreciate it.
Microsoft’s new OS has never been a concern of mine. I still have a windows XP, Vista, and windows 7 PC’s. They all work fine but zero security updates of course. You don’t need to upgrade your OS and most people will simply just keep windows 10 instead up buying a new computer.
I’m just going to setup dual boot with linux since i have some modding and custom software that only works on windows.
Dang, that is super easy, i can do that tonight in 30 minutes. Thanks!
I’ve been meaning to mod my Wii U, but i never play it, so it’s been on the backburner. I heard it’s almost as easy as modding the Wii.
No one ever gets those rewards, or if they do, it’s a couple hundred dollars for all your time they wasted.
Doesn’t help to snitch to the government.
It is really weird to be able to have all my shows in order. Shows like south park doesn’t matter as much since most of the episodes aren’t multipart, but the cartoon wars and episodes 200 and 201 were pretty awesome to watch back to back weeks live.
But not like people are going to notice any difference over a stream if it buffers even slightly.
Most people can’t even tell the difference between 192 and 320 kbps, they don’t care about lossless over stream. Also screw spotify.
Many days lately have been like this.
Yeah, it’s time for windows to die. My windows 10 computer i’m pretty sure everything on it would work on linux, so i’ll switch it over to Mint in a few weeks.
The communities exist, but there are no people in them. 1 person per month active is not a community. So most of the communties even on lemmy.world are barren. It’s pretty much just politics, memes, and linux stuff that stays active enough to be interesting.
This is so disgusting when you realize the amount of criminals at that table and they are all against us.
Also notice how the word “innovation” is used so often with these tech idiots? It’s a way to cover up all the sinister stuff they are doing to us while they give you more brain rot apps to harvest your data from.
This is a dictatorship, thanks republicans. The last nail in the coffin is being driven in.
The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways. I don’t have a cat, but when i worked in pet stores, i heard all the stories.
Now for me? It’s a dog distribution system cause i tend to find my puppies in the most odd circumstances and if i had left the place one minute earlier or later, i would never have gotten the awesome pup i have now.
Comfort and scared of change. The dopamine these sites give you is close to sex for some people as weird as it sounds. So if you tell them to stop using Instagram, they can’t process that and simply say no.
This is just part of human nature. Some of us are able to say “hey this website is run by horrible people and I refuse to support it.” We leave and find other options and help them grow. We are in the minority.
Most people simply do not want to try something everyone else doesn’t use cause they don’t want to seem weird. Stupid societal norms.
Maybe I’ll go looking for some again since lemmy doesn’t have many subs I can relate to and don’t have any new content for weeks.
I personally don’t like soundbars so i go with an AV setup with 5.1 speakers for now. I got my AV recievers on nextdoor, craigslist, ebay, etc. I get them used because people constantly upgrade and i was able to get really nice Onkyo, Denon, and Pioneer AV receivers for under $80 each. Then i got REALLY lucky and found some Definitive Technology studio monitors at goodwill for $5 each and a center KLH platinum center speaker for $4. I found my other surround speakers in my attic from past friends and they are Sony or Bose. But best buy open box and outlet stores are your best bet for subwoofers and front speakers as they can be 30-40% off and still new with warranty. Monolith/Monoprice also makes some decent quality speakers and i love mine.
