I hope I can now play all buzz games, some of them had the problem that the blue button was continuously pressed and you couldn’t play the game.

Mkengine@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid?1·1 year agoAs a European, could you explain College degree, graduate, post graduate, etc. ? We have Bachelor’s and Master’s degree here, I thought we got that from you?
Mkengine@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on *.google.com access to private APIs, including your current CPU usageEnglish15·1 year agoSwitching from Firefox to Librewolf has some pros and cons. Librewolf is a fork of Firefox focused on privacy and security, with telemetry stripped out and privacy settings maxed out by default. You’ll gain better out-of-the-box privacy protections, meaning less tracking and data collection without having to tweak settings yourself.
However, you might lose some convenience. Librewolf might not support certain Firefox features like Sync, since it relies on Mozilla’s servers (not sure about that point, maybe it does work). It can also break some websites due to the stricter privacy settings. Another thing to consider is that you won’t get updates as quickly as Firefox.
Regarding browser fingerprinting, it’s a tricky beast. Librewolf can help somewhat by making your fingerprint less unique, but it’s not a silver bullet. Tools like uBlock Origin and container tabs are great, but adding something like the CanvasBlocker extension can also help reduce fingerprinting. Ultimately, no setup is perfect, but Librewolf is a solid step towards better privacy.
Mkengine@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim?1·1 year agoJust to spin this a bit further, if we are living in a simulation, does it have a purpose? Sometimes I ask myself if the purpose of such a simulation for humanity could be to see how long it takes from the big bang to the creation of artificial life. Maybe our purpose is to create such artificial life that can travel to the stars, because as humans we are not really fit to do that. Maybe we are a mere step on the ladder of our universe’s purpose.
Mkengine@feddit.deto Android@lemmy.world•FCC proposes 60-day unlocking rule for all mobile phonesEnglish5·1 year agoWhat does this locking do? Where I live every online vendor offers to pay by installments which addresses the issue that people could not afford the upfront price, why do the phones have to be locked in the US?
Mkengine@feddit.deto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•A new survey found that almost 40% of companies posted a fake job listing this year (2024)1·1 year agoBut is it a fake position if you intend to fill it with a foreign worker?
Mkengine@feddit.deto Linux Crack Tips@lemmy.world•Can you play cracked games using the Steam launcher?English2·1 year agoThank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Mkengine@feddit.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can someone explain me USA obsession with prom and similar school rituals?2·1 year agoThank you, that was a really good explanation!
Mkengine@feddit.deto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Amazon hit with $5.9 million fine for violating California labor law2·1 year agoDoes the fine have to be paid from profits made in California? If not I don’t see why this is relevant, other than semantics.
Mkengine@feddit.deto privacy@lemmy.ca•Google Chrome's upcoming search feature will use AI to dig deeper into your browsing history2·1 year agoI use Mull for Android and find it a bit more performant than vanilla Firefox.
Mkengine@feddit.deto Linux@programming.dev•Is it a good idea to use KDE plasma on linux mint?2·1 year agoI never installed Linux myself, only used it for a bit, so what do you have to do to not be a complete noob? This is only a half serious question, but what do you think you have to do, to be a proficient Linux user? This sounds a bit like when I got my master’s degree and did not have the feeling that I know anything or have learned valuable skills, but to someone with only a high school diploma I would look rather proficient.
Mkengine@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Intel is trucking a 916,000-pound 'Super Load' across Ohio to its new fab, spawning road closures over nine daysEnglish2·1 year agoSo what is the actual transistor size then? And why use an SI unit then anyway? Why not use femto-bananas then when it does not reflect the real size?
Mkengine@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•AI trained on photos from kids’ entire childhood without their consentEnglish7·1 year agoHe said that it’s creepy but convenient, digital privacy and laziness don’t go hand in hand generally. Every week I read about another alternative for Google Photos, so the solution is not far away (three posts down I found this for example). To each their own I guess, but with such simple solutions I can’t justify using Google’s spyware.
Mkengine@feddit.deto Linux Crack Tips@lemmy.world•Can you play cracked games using the Steam launcher?English0·1 year agoWhat is the most convenient way to add art? Is there a tool, something more automatic than downloading jpgs from some website yourself?
I am currently deciding wether to use librewolf or floorp, do you by chance have an opinion on that?
Mkengine@feddit.deto Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian Home Prices "Need" To Be High To Pay For Retirements: PM - Better Dwelling15·1 year agoIf I stay in my house for my retirement, why would I care how much it is worth? I would only care about monthly costs like energy or insurance, what am I missing?
Mkengine@feddit.deto Movies@lemmy.world•Box Office: ‘Furiosa’ Just Barely Beats ‘The Garfield Movie’ in Disastrous Memorial Day Weekend — the Worst in DecadesEnglish4·1 year agoAs someone with ADHD I now want a website tailored to ADHD moviegoers for recommendations, as I have exactly the same problems.
Kannst du mir eine ehrliche Bewertung der Kamera geben? Die Bewertung hat mich bis jetzt davon abgehalten mir eins zu holen.
My two use cases are project brainstorming and boilerplate code, which saves a lot of time for me. For example sometimes I find an interesting paper and want to try it out in Python. If they did not provide code that will take some time and trial and error to get it running. Or I just copy the whole paper into ChatGPT and get an initial script that sometimes even works with it’s first try. But that is not the point, I can do the last steps myself, it really is a time saver for me with regards to programming.
