Well, crap! Was seriously looking at the CX50. I’m not paying monthly to use stuff that’s already equipped in the car. Just madness.

Yeah, I’m an offline RPG gamer and this generation is leaving me behind. Thankfully there’s still some great options like Zelda, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy. But I feel our options are slimming down.

Microsoft officially recommends a new PC and OneDrive to update to Windows 11 in c/[email protected]

My PC met everything except processor. Did a registry hack and updated anyway. All is well, for now. I don’t feel like building another PC at the moment.

Damn, you know it’s bad when Dell is laying off a ton of people through policy.

In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention in c/[email protected]

Turn off microphone access to all social media and tell your friends the same. I’ve disabled mine for years and all ads are generic or from prior sites visited.

Government is known not to support their troops after they return. Parents are telling their kids to not join and now it’s finally being seen in enrollment numbers.

McDonald's to 'rethink' prices after first sales fall since 2020 in c/[email protected]

That’s how they charge different prices based on region.

McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens in c/[email protected]

I vote with my spending. If I’m doing all the work ordering, then I should see cheaper prices. McDs is double-dipping. Saving on wages and trying to charge more. Nope.

Cool, so we’re going to eliminate all the plastic in packaging at supermarkets and retail, right? Right?

That’s millions of people pissed off, holding grudges that will take revenge when possible.

2 years from now: JP Morgan Chase announces $0-fee checking accounts to attract new clients. So predictable.

Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution? in c/[email protected]

Fireworks are a complete waste of other people’s money. Besides the regular fireworks show (taxes), I like watching people’s money go up in smoke. It’s fun!

I’ve never created a subreddit before but yet here I am creating a community for Southern Utah in support of Lemmy.

Hoping to see the community support this in a small way as I attempt to submit a couple things per day.

Migrate Subreddits (lemmy.world)
 

PSA: You should know that Settings > Migrate Subreddits exists. All you do is login to your old Reddit account, copy a “multireddit” link, paste it in Voyager and you’ll be able to search the fediverse for those topics/communities to subscribe to.

You may find communities that are missing here if you’d like to run/manage your very own community on a topic you enjoy.

Hope this helps. I just found this feature today and subscribed to a bunch of communities.

I logged in to Reddit today (lemmy.world)
 

Today, not in a moment of necessity, but a moment of protest, I logged in to Reddit because I found tons of comments and posts listed on old Reddit when you sort by top or controversial.

I logged in to Reddit to destroy even more of my comments that were missed by Power Delete Suite.

It seems a lot of people are doing this. I’ve seen some interesting stuff here and Reddit with screenshots of deleted comments with “this solved my problem” below the deletion.

The way I look at it, ALL of my content was posted via Apollo, just like all of my comments and posts are through WefWef here. If Reddit admins felt the API shouldn’t be free, then my submissions are also not free for them to monetize and get traffic from.

I know for a fact I’ve had 100+ #1 ranked longtail SEO posts in Reddit before I deleted everything. Many of them were getting tons of traffic based on the amount of follow-up private messages received years later.

I do expect Reddit’s traffic to go down as a whole because of everyone leaving but also because of how many removed their content.

That IPO of theirs is going so well.
