Bing has been revamped to prioritize AI search results – whether you like it or not in c/technology

Unsurprising from the company that still hasn't fixed the light gray on light gray scroll bar.

YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete in c/technology
[–] helpImTrappedOnline 18 points 1 day ago

Maybe if they cleared out the scams and served more than 3 ads on repete, I wouldn't feel the need to block them. Yes, no one likes ads, but I get its to pay for the content I'm watching for free.

Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way in c/lemmyshitpost

I made a dump folder on sync thing. When I want to share a file or 12, move it the dump folder and presto - the files are moved.

But yes, a USB drive is still very good for transfer, especially lots of files to other people.

And it turns out the show is a rom-com between a female figure-skater and male ballet.

Why are people using "coconut" in references to Kamala Harris? in c/asklemmy
[–] helpImTrappedOnline 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

Honestly, the comment is rude and not helpful. Its an attack on the poster for asking a genuine question, which is total reddit behavior. (But in the context of a joke, its pretty funny, its the kind of banter I'd play with friends - but we all know we're just joking)

Always add a /s, or if it is a particulaly rude comment like yours, offer up the serious part after your "joke"

..blah blah /s

In all seriousness, I'm glad you are blah blah blah.

New youtube layout? in c/technology
[–] helpImTrappedOnline 68 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (7 children)

That looks pretty awful IMO.

Extension suggestion: Enhancer for YouTube

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/

To keep it self working it prevents "expiramental layouts" from youtube.

Great for setting YouTube player defaults the way you want.

Anyone not see their post list? (self.boostforlemmy)

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks [email protected]

I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

Recommendation for a Windows 'Calandar Widget' (self.opensource)
 

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (self.android)

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
