My Odyssey G7's panel also fell off 2 weeks before the end of the warranty.

In addition to that, the Odyssey series also has a weird issue where if certain conditions are met, the entire screen will dip in brightness and display horizontal lines. It's very distracting. They're aware of the issue (as many people have reported it) but they aren't doing anything to fix it. I won't be buying another.

I filled it all in and the button at the end didn't work. That's 20 minutes I'm never getting back :/

I'm gonna chalk it up as yet another problem with Firefox Mobile. I really want to like it, but it doesn't make it easy haha

I'll probably try again another time on something Chromium-based

The best AI-detection tools are humans.

Everything else is terrible in comparison.

I second this.

You're using them exactly as intended, and that's a good thing.

Being on benefits alone does not mean people dislike you. I think the way most people see it is that there are two groups: the people who try and get jobs and use benefits to live in the meantime, and the ones who intentionally coast by and live on the taxpayers money without ever intending to work honestly.

You are part of the former group. The good ones. So please don't feel guilty for accepting help.

Baby hurt me, more.

I think the main complaint is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I like the old UI. I had no complaints. So why change it? So much developer expense for zero user benefit.

I used that one revert Gist that NTTS talked about and it's been the same as always ever since. If Discord makes an update that removes the old UI then I'll use an old version until they absolutely force me. I will not voluntarily use the new UI, because I think it's not as good, and that's it.

Anon thinks he "won" by getting the girl, not realising that entering a relationship isn't the finish line.

No way, I've been looking for a £150,000 note for years so I can buy a house and you're telling me I could have bought one by adding others together???

You can get a Mini PC with a modern laptop chip inside it to get the power savings and save some space too. Not only that, but you get the advantage of a potentially more modern chip too. I tried my new setup (Ryzen 5 5560U) with 4K HDR decoding last night and it worked without a hitch.

I migrated from Plex to Jellyfin years ago and haven't looked back. It might play better with AMD hardware but I can't say for sure. All I can say is that I spun up a container and it Just Works™

"He fishes in the lake" is a perfectly normal sentence.

In a democratic government you have the right to protest. Less-so here. At the end of the day the mods have the final say. They could, at any point, dictate extra rules to us and enforce them with bans. We would have no choice but to obey or leave. That's their choice because they own the community here.

It's harder to leave a country than it is to leave a Lemmy community. That's why protests won't work here. If you disagree with the result of the poll, and by extension the way this community is run, you can always leave with a single click.

Side note: Morality is inherently subjective. Many middle-eastern countries consider women showing off their bodies to be immoral, but in the west it is accepted. Both cultures generally consider their way to be correct.

Who would have thought that cancelling something cancels it? Incredible find, mate.

Innocent until proven otherwise.

Corporations like Meta have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted to play nice with anyone else. Have we already forgotten about Cambridge Analytica or the plethora of other scandals they've been at the center of? The proof has been in plain view for a while now.

Okay, but that doesn't address any of the points I brought up.

You said to give Meta a chance. The rest of us are broadly gesturing at all the shit they've done in the past, and how we want as little to do with that as possible.
