jaybirrd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamersEnglish30·2 years agoI’m curious how big of a dip there was with macOS when they fully dropped 32 bit support. I’m just one person but a lot of the games I played through steam were older 32 bit games. I don’t think I’ve opened steam on my Mac since that update.

jaybirrd@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•An X is kind of a sans serif German swastikaEnglish4·2 years agoIs there something tangible? Slack’s logo is a symbol that suggests clockwise rotation while the version of the swastika that the Nazis used is a symbol that suggests counterclockwise rotation.
Especially given that the Nazis appropriated one version of a symbol that had many other versions/uses/meanings in different cultures, do we really need to equate every symbol or logo that has remote similarities to the swastika with Nazism?

jaybirrd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdownEnglish2·2 years agoI’m curious to see how streaming services are going to be affected by the strikes. Theoretically down the road they’ll reach a point for a while where they have very little new content to release and will be fighting each other for the rights to existing content.
jaybirrd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdownEnglish2·2 years agoSame. I cancelled my Netflix a couple years ago and haven’t looked back. They don’t have a lot of content that I’m interested in watching anymore, and when they do it’s easy to find elsewhere. I host my own Plex server now which makes it even more of a seamless transition.

jaybirrd@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•iNaturalist is Now an Independent NonprofitEnglish5·2 years agoI just discovered iNaturalist a few weeks ago, and really love using it. You can see what other people have reported in your area and you can try and find them, or you can report the interesting things you notice. I’ve become much more observant of plants and bugs and such.
jaybirrd@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What if the length of a term was proportional to the amount you won by in the election?English3·2 years agoI like this question, although I don’t think it could work. Someone who campaigns really well, does not necessarily mean they will fulfill their office well. It also penalizes when there are two good candidates running against each other.
I could see it being more viable if the upper term limit is still along the lines of what we have today. Perhaps a presidential candidate winning an election by landslide could get a maximum term of 8 years, whereas someone just barely winning would have a shortened term of 1-2 years. I would definitely still be concerned about the negative ramifications of potentially more and more dirty campaigning to try and capture the highest portion of votes that others have mentioned.

I’ll readily admit I’m not very knowledgeable on this, but radio towers have a limited range, right? Satellites have the ability to provide internet and communications to truly remote areas where it may be logistically challenging or impractical to build radio towers.
jaybirrd@lemmy.worldto Android@lemdro.id•What Happened to All About Android Podcast?English2·2 years agoLisa Laporte tweeted about it here: https://twitter.com/lisadlaporte/status/1673037899045171206
In a nutshell, it seems like the show got cut because viewership had drastically declined and wasn’t worth continuing to produce. If there’s additional drama behind the scenes, I haven’t heard any indication of it yet.
Honestly I’m kind of surprised the twit network is still around at all. Their overall product has seemed really dated to me for a long time and it seems like the podcast advertising realm is a real shit show right now.
Google’s messaging app actually has a desktop browser based client that you can use to send messages from your computer. So that might actually be a good solution for you. I use it regularly and have no complaints about either the phone app or the web app.
