It’s the same for the wallpaper; just not visible really. But it bounces between a variety of my other pictures, too.

conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What sensory thing(s) annoy you?9·6 months agoThe fact that 99% of LED Christmas lights are mini strobe lights.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemmies of Lemmy World did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Is so what was it and why?2·6 months agoYeah, I never really have anything I want for gifts because it’s either way over the top and not something I’m going to have someone buy for me, or it’s reasonably cheap and I just buy it way before anything anyone would give me a gift for.
But I’ve been buying myself a bunch of books lately, including some of the nice versions of Brandon Sanderson books. They’re expensive enough that I can’t just buy them all. I got a signed leatherbound copy of Elantris for Christmas.
I plan to take good pictures with an actual camera eventually, but I have phone ones.
They’re not cheap, but they’re really cool.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the highest score you got in a game?2·6 months agoIDK. Goodreads said I’m in their top 1% for the year lol, and I only track the books I haven’t read before.
Not a game, but I don’t look at game high scores and other people are doing random stuff too.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people end up winning lawsuits against companies due to a missing label or sign?11·6 months agoI’m not talking about the amount.
I’m saying they’re much less predictable, so nonsense like having obvious signs saying “don’t be stupid” can affect their ruling regardless of how necessary it should be.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people end up winning lawsuits against companies due to a missing label or sign?8·6 months agoLawsuits often go in front of juries.
Civil juries do whatever the hell they want.
Every step a company takes to make sure that a reasonable customer will avoid hurting themselves makes it more likely a jury will blame an unreasonable one who hurts themselves being unreasonable.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good PS5 games for kids?6·6 months agoAstro’s playroom comes with it, but there’s also a full game.
The plucky squire is a really cool concept of a game that I enjoyed as an adult, but is written and presented like a story book (you literally jump out of the book and manipulate pages for some stuff), and it’s definitely appropriate for kids both in terms of complexity and the writing.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why we should care about privacy on the internet?5·6 months agoIf nothing else, because corporations use it incredibly effectively to tailor behavior manipulation to you personally.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•UK proposes letting tech firms use copyrighted work to train AI5·6 months agoIf you’re going to allow it, you might as well just allow it.
Or, don’t.
But opt out sounds like an insane headache for everyone involved.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Banning masks means banning (a subset) of disabled people from public places without great risk to their healthEnglish4·6 months agoYou’re missing the point. Meme isn’t something you gatekeep. It’s simply a term for any arbitrary amount of idea. Everything is a meme.
Your argument is like saying “nothing has mass if you call everything mass”.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Banning masks means banning (a subset) of disabled people from public places without great risk to their healthEnglish4·6 months agoLiterally any shared idea is a meme.
We have an actual original definition to refer to. It’s Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, and it’s very comparable to general “message” in information theory. “Internet memes” fit into his definition exactly.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Banning masks means banning (a subset) of disabled people from public places without great risk to their healthEnglish5·6 months agoAlso the original (and more useful) definition is “a gene, but for ideas”. This is an idea that more people should consider, so it qualifies anyways.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are the things that makes a selfhostable app/project good?English5·6 months agoYep, documentation and a good base level default installation configuration/guide with minimal friction.
I’m perfectly willing to play around once I know at the basic level that the core flow is going to work for me. If it takes me digging through a stack of documentation (especially if it’s bad) to even get something to experiment with on my own system? I won’t bother.

conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•Xbox Insider Says The Age Of Xbox Console Exclusives Is "Over"English5·6 months agoThere’s no reason for the rest of the generation. It will just kill sales for those games. The “series” consoles are a completely lost cause.
If they want exclusives as a strategy, it needs to be at launch of the next generation. Until then even short timed exclusives just cost them money.
Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•There's now a phenomenon where everyone's (including you) political beliefs are now visible to everyone within a 1KM radius, how fucked are you?4·6 months agoCompletely, because without privacy you’d be functionally guaranteed a civil war.
Reality is nuanced; labels aren’t.

Martin Was Involved, and Why Fans Shouldn’t Call It a Live ServiceEnglish2·6 months agoIt kind of sounds like a 3 player rogue lite.

I don’t notice normal LEDs generally.
But anything moving in front of Christmas lights gives me a giant headache. It’s incredibly obvious.
