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

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.

It's a very simple movie and great because of it. Just action.

YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

I'm subscribed! It's one of my favorite series. Also, The Mark of the Fool is another good series.

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'm surprised no one commented on "Melania, Trump's imported model wife"

That reminds me of the original alien in Prometheus

Did Walz get out and start fixing the van so they could continue?

what addiction have you kicked? no matter how insignificant you feel it was in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have a big one rather than a small one. 11 years sober off all drugs and alcohol. Took going to rehab and sober living after but I made it.

I'm always on the lookout for the next release. Also Ripples is pretty good

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.

Audio override? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I commonly listen to audiobooks while browsing. I love that I'm seeing some embedded videos playing. Unfortunately, even though the sound is muted on the video, it auto pauses my audio book. Is there a way to stop that?
