nadram , to Mildly Infuriating in These notifications are bundled together for some reason. So if I want to be notified when my subscriptions renew themselves, I have to also be notified of random games going on sale, too.
@nadram@lemmy.world avatar

Here is Google showing blatant malicious compliance to their own standards. "You want security notifications for payments made through your account? Have a side of ads with that". They've fallen real low since the days of "do no harm" 😞

NoneYa ,

Close, but it was “don’t be evil”.

KingJalopy ,

"openly evil"

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

That was always sarcastic.

Maalus ,

Which is still in the google code of conduct.

sneezycat ,
@sneezycat@sopuli.xyz avatar

It is there but almost as a quote... It's at the end and it just says "and remember, don't be evil!". It's not part of the actual code, so I guess it's just for show and nostalgia.

Maalus ,

It's literally there as it was previously. They removed it at the start to say "do the right thing" instead, but don't be evil is there too. It was a drummed up controversy over nothing.

nadram ,
@nadram@lemmy.world avatar

True, thanks 😏

DmMacniel ,

"Do no harm", that's the Hippocratic Oath.

Hupf ,

More like the Hippocratic Option amirite? 🤜🤛

"Do no harm to the stockholders" would be the contemporary take.

There should be a legal requirement to call a targeted advertisement a targeted advertisement. Being allowed to call them "recommendations" only makes these assholes feel emboldened to push ads where people wouldn't normally accept them. Microsoft is pulling that dirty trick as well.

Yeah in Europe I'd send this to my local data authorities and the ombudsman

Neato , to 196 in Corporate Crulety

Odds on this meaning be gets a vacation day or just the opportunity to take an unpaid day off on a holiday?

AGuyAcrossTheInternet OP , (edited )

Probably something of a guarantee that he can take a paid vacation day on New Year's Eve. It's just that this whole thing feels wrong. Maybe it's my bias against American retailers speaking but making a certain guaranteed vacation day a prize for online reviews feels utterly dystopian to me. It would be less bad if it was an additional vacation day, but this is Walmart we're talking about.

I struggle putting my feeling into words one-by-one, but this is roughly my sentiment.

glizzyguzzler ,
@glizzyguzzler@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It’s unpaid fo sho 😞😞

Godort ,

Guaranteed it means he gets an unpaid day off for a day that he would've normally been scheduled.

Canadian_Cabinet ,

Exactly this. I used to work at Walmart and we were expected to work pretty much every holiday

drolex ,

Please Quarteze, respectfully think about the shareholders and how much an unpaid day of work from you would mean for them. Not much, really, but they'd rather have you being miserable. Thanks Quarteze (you can run the 'work for free' wheel as many times as you want)

GravitySpoiled , to Privacy in Replacement for Firefox?

Firefox can display x265. Do you use the flatpak version? If so, create a bug report.

If not, search for enable x265 on firefox and install the codecs.

Whats the log in plex?

Norgur OP ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

Holy… why the fuck would this be disabled? And why the fuck didn't I find this information in the first place?!

To all wondering:
change

media.wmf.hevc.enabled

To 1 in about:config, restart browser, done.

Thanks, mate

Atemu , (edited )
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

The reason is software patents and asinine licensing for HEVC. Thank the greedy fucks in suits for that.

Norgur OP ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

So it can be implemented but not enabled? Weird shit, man

Ephera ,

Could be that Firefox downloads the codec after you enable that. At least, I've heard of it being implemented like that in other software...

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

AFAIK, this is a Windows-specific option which requires the user to have purchased a license for the Windows HEVC decoder on the windows store.

bionicjoey ,

Sounds like you had an XY problem

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Story of my life. Fortunately, now that I'm older, I often catch myself and provide the context. But not always.

GravitySpoiled ,

That's nice. Thanks for the link

Norgur OP ,
@Norgur@fedia.io avatar

Well, I thought I had ruled out X as solution, so I didn't ask about it in the first place <insert hide the pain Harold here>

adam , to Technology in Question about Active Noise Cancellation alternatives
@adam@doomscroll.n8e.dev avatar

The sound produced by ANC is the exact 180 degree inverse (or as near as possible) of the incoming bad noise.

It's produced in realtime by dedicated signal processors and requires mic arrays feeding in the sound. The quicker your processing pipeline the better the match is and the more powerful the effect is.

There's no prerecorded sound that would work.

downpunxx OP ,
@downpunxx@fedia.io avatar

appreciate the response

venusaur ,
@venusaur@lemmy.world avatar

Yup not possible. Sound is waves. Think of a sine wave that goes up and down. Noise canceling works by canceling the peaks and valleys of a sound wave with inverted valleys and peaks. If the peak is +1 for example, a sound wave with a valley of -1 played at the same time would cancel it out. This is simplistic terms of course.

The sound of your environment is constantly changing. If you wanted a static audio file to cancel out noise you would have to play some customized white noise. Not the effect you’re looking for.

Just extra context. You’ll need ANC buds. Heard Sony is good. Good luck!

JustinTheGM ,

I've always wondered, does the ear experience additional, unheard "loudness" when using ANC?

adam ,
@adam@doomscroll.n8e.dev avatar

Yes. On older generation/cheaper ANC this is perceived as increased "pressure". It doesn't seem louder but the physical sensation of loudness is there.

laurelraven ,

That actually explains the sensation I have with headphones provided by my work, I want to like them but the sensation is kind of unpleasant

asshole design

They know exactly what they're doing. They're never ignorant of this shit, it's 100 percent intentional. So much for not being evil.

This is surprisingly good

nick ,

Hell, I’m installing that now. It’s gonna be my terminal and sublime font now

IrritableOcelot ,

That looks just enough not like comic sans to actually be pretty good.

flashgnash ,

Weird to see how many others actually use this

Got it as my font anywhere I can set it

billgamesh ,

it's so readable. Unironically can be super helpful

Achyu ,

How does one set this on android? There seems to be no option for that in settings.
Any adb commands?

flashgnash ,

I used an app called zfont 3, has a few workarounds for different manufacturers

What it did on my old phone was have me set a store downloaded font, make a backup of settings, uninstall the font, then it installs the new one with the same name and restore the backup

ChaoticNeutralCzech , to 196 in Corporate Crulety

Looks like a bot posted the tweet, substituting into the quotes when neccessary.

Lucy is the loser of store, 205 online compliments from customers and got a chance to spin the "treadmill crane". The wheel stopped on "day 2" and she selected "to be put out of her misery". We'll miss you, Lucy!

m4xie ,

That's the most coveted of all the prizes!

Pretzilla , to 196 in Corporate Crulety

Management still will call him December 30th and ask him to work tomorrow because they are short

NegativeLookBehind , to 196 in rule baby

Some people wanted to fling fluids at each other and now I gotta pay fuckin taxes

FrankTheHealer , to 196 in Corporate Crulety

brown567 , to 196 in rule baby

And a period, thank you

IHawkMike , to Technology in Just got an operating system update for my Galaxy S10 phone

Yeah, but that security patch level.

wreckedcarzz ,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

Better than what they were on before...

n2burns ,

My S10e says the same date without this update.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

March 22 for my S9 lol

timkenhan ,

Still better than no update.

Mbourgon , to Memes in comic gotta be just around the corner

Seriously, they couldn’t put in a 1/I/l test? That’s half of what I want a different font for.

cerement ,
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar

(don’t forget O/0 either)

ErwinLottemann ,

O_o

Klear ,

I_l

MrScottyTay ,

You can see an i and an l in that image and there's no way a 1 would look like either of them that they have...

Mbourgon ,

No upper case I either.

MrScottyTay ,

Once again considering the serifs on what we see, it's definitely not going to be just a straight line.
