Smart TVs are like “a digital Trojan Horse” in people’s homes in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've honestly looked for dumb TV's for a while. My TCL Roku TV has gotten so slow it's almost unusable. If I could find a good one I would probably buy one. Instead I got a Raspberry Pi and put Kodi on it. Paired with a Flirc remote, it works great.

Besides bars/clubs/restaurants, where else do you go/do when you want to get out of the house? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Unfortunately I get off work at 11pm and not much is open that late so I rarely go out.

Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

For anime, Ghost in the Shell. My favorite is the Stand Alone Complex series.

For TV show, Fringe. It's a sci-fi show taking place in the modern world.

For movie, Red Lights. It's about a group that disproves paranormal/super natural events. I recommend it because it's not well known.

The last time you were wearing a hat, what type was it? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Camo baseball cap. I only wore it to go dove hunting. Only other hat I wear is a beanie if it's cold.

I Maximus movies; am I entertained?

Does a clothes iron get hot enough? Since it can make direct contact it might work better

What's the dumbest reason you've learned a programming language? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Arduino and Python to create a sexy machine that syncs up to videos. Oh I also made the sex machine part, like machining metal parts and soldering electronics.

You Don't Need A Full-Size Pickup Truck, You Need a Cowboy Costume in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

They're making them illegal in a lot of states. Texas recently de-banned them but could reverse that decision at any time. They would be an ideal choice otherwise.

I'd love an el cameno, or something similar. I'd like to be able to see something on the side of the road and pick it up while still having the car size and mpg

Motion Picture Association Hires FBI Official to Lead Anti-Piracy Efforts in c/movies@lemm.ee

The title is a bit misleading. They didn't hire an FBI agent. They hired a retired FBI agent. I feel that is a pretty crucial difference

Which season should I start on? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello, so I've been watching and enjoying this community. I remember watching various different seasons/generations as a child and I liked them. I'm sure there is a lot I missed and figured I need a new hyperfixation. As an adult I've only watched the original series when it was on Netflix. I remember a lot of Picard, and some with the woman captain. (Probably more, but I've done too many drugs between them and now)

So, as someone with a basic/broad understanding of Star Trek, where should I start my dive into this show?

Ripping Audible Audiobooks (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have a large audible library I would like to backup and make available for other audiobook apps that use less battery. I'd like to maintain as much information and structure as possible. I saw a self hosted solution for audiobooks I might try to implement as well.

What programs or processes work best for this?

Combine duplicate posts from different instances? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Scenario: me killing time by doom scrolling lemmy. I see a post linking to a news article. The next 4 posts are the exact same post in the same community by the same user but on a different instance.

I understand the general mechanics behind lemmy so I know this is standard behavior. However, this can become quite tedious and annoying.

My suggestion: when the device pulls new posts if the same title, content, and user are detected, it combines them into one post. For comments, it creates a "root/parent comment" for each instance.

Up and down votes could be an issue though. My resolution to this would be when you press up/down vote a drop-down menu appears with "All" followed by all the different instances. I can think of lots of different mechanics for multi selections.

For the main feed, where the instance is normally stated, it states only the community followed by "multiple" or similar. When tapped, instead of taking you to that community on that instance, it has the equivalent of a help bubble pop up listing the instances so you could visit each one.

It would also be nice if something like this was possible for duplicate posts on the same instance across multiple communities.

Unable to clear notifications (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've found an issue that if I upvote a notification I can't tap the check to clear it. I have to refresh the notifications page to clear it. It may also be that the have to be checked off in order such as top to bottom or bottom to top. I'm not positive what's making it unclearable.
