These are all very normal things. The joke is that console gamers are normal people, whereas pc gamers are a bunch of hardcore nerds who never wash themselves, never leave home, don’t have a job and don’t know how to interact with women

This reminds me of that vsauce video where he says that trogs exist and they’re composed of a tree and whichever dog happens to be closest to it

Paid startpage, basically?

https://www.startpage.com/en/about-us

Very interesting. Too bad it gives really bad results.

Searching for “pokemon” doesn’t show in the first page of results

• the official website

• the wikipedia page

Instead it shows a bunch of random websites that mention the term including this wepage straight out of the year 2000: http://dvdmg.com/pokemon.shtml

As a second search I tried searching for “best fallout for mods” and its first result was some unrelated meta topic (discussing ai generated content) which happened to use the expression “is this the fallout of [action/event]?”.

Then all of youtube is niche except maybe mrbeast

“Niche”

Sometimes they’re cheaper than launch price? Or you may get exclusive cosmetics? Idk

(Not saying it’s worth it)

Probably the fairphone

1. modern websites are a pain to navigate with popups, paywall, ads, heavy tracking that slows down navigation, autoplaying video ads etc

2. modern journalism = let’s just report whatever the person or company says without fact checking, contextualizing or taking a stance. I believe this is done because it takes less effort and because it makes sure that the news org doesn’t anger any of the persons/organizations it has tides with (for ads or direct funding)

The comments solve both problems, as lemmy is ad- and tracking-free and the people in the comments are mostly real people usually without any vested interests in the things they’re discussing.

So OBVIOUSLY I only read the comments. I’ll get the content of the article indirectly as it’s being discussed.

I need backlit keys for the function keys and the other non-letter keys

Also accents (not in english obviously)

Sony flagship phones (xperia 5 and xperia 1 lineup) still have a microsd slot and a headphone jack
