Yep. My Dad in his late 70s uses this system and it works great for him.
People make fun of it, but for people with low tech literacy this is actually far better than having a mish-mash of solutions where some their logins end up automatically saved in iOS on their phone, some are saved in Chrome on the desktop, some are just in their head, they don’t know where anything is, and are constantly losing access and resetting credentials all the time.
And it definitely reduces the burden on me of parental tech support, when its all in the book.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox?10·8 days agoIn what way?
I switched recently to Librewolf, but as a long time Firefox user (of which Librewolf is a fork anyway) it didn’t seem unusable out of the box. There are some settings for privacy and studies etc you mght want to change, but they are all very obvious in the GUI preferences.
I did personally go into about:config to set a few things, like not allowing searches from the address bar because I’m weird, but what makes Firefox no good for the average user?
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation7·9 days agoSame with me, and a few people who call me ‘Tira’
I am perfectly happy to have it that way - just like OP suggested it’s a nice separation. And while I have nothing against my given name and actually quite like it, Tira is a name I chose for myself.
Lol, brilliant.
At first you are thinking “this is going to be so nice and compact and tidy” and then…
Love it though
Swiftfin is what I’m using for Plex on my Apple TV
It’s perfect for me because it supports direct stream and decoding of the file for playback on the Apple TV - because the Apple TV is capable enough to do that.
This is ideal because my NAS server is a venerable but now very long in the tooth HP Gen 8 microserver from 2014, so it doesn’t have the chops for reencoded streaming anymore.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why are website language switchers in the current language?39·21 days agoThe reality is, it varies.
I just opened the language picker on the first site I had in my browser tabs (happened to be Epic games) and they display the language list using native names for the target language, rather than current language (screenshot attached)
I agree it’s much better to do it this way.
As a developer, why it doesn’t happen sometimes could just be by accident. If you intentionally set out to localise a site and put all text and menu elements into localisation files to be translated, then the language names are going to end up getting translated too. It takes conscious thought and UX design to realise that it’s better for accessibility if that single part of the site is actually just static text, regardless of what language is selected.
And before anyone suggests using country flags in your language picker as a cool solution - please don’t, because that sucks too. There isn’t a 1:1 relationship between countries and languages and so the flag approach is a flawed compromise at best, and actually insulting at worst.
I’m disturbed by the notion of having a bunk bed when the room is empty, with easily room for several normal beds.
It’s not even against the wall.
Psychotic behaviour.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo’s Anti-Consumer Anti-Piracy Measures Also Reduce The Value Of The Switch 2English192·23 days agoI don’t personally like Nintendo’s actions, but I’m not sure why this article is trying to imply Nintendo miscalculated and don’t know what they’re doing - as if bricking consoles will somehow lose them money.
From Nintendo’s perspective, turning the used market into a minefield of bricked consoles can only be a good thing, because it encourages people to buy new, and buying new is money in Nintendo’s pocket.
And the conclusion that people won’t buy the console for their kids because of this? “Sorry kids, but Nintendo are bad so we cant play your favourite Mario - you’re getting a steam deck instead!” Like heck! A small minority maybe, but people will generally buy their kids what the kids ask for.
Nintendo know what they are doing.

tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own featuresEnglish9·28 days ago[The proposal] defines a deepfake as a very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.
The government said the new rules would not affect parodies and satire, which would still be permitted.
Seems like they’ve already thought about this, and the law will cover only digital clones, not human lookalikes - plus carve-outs for fair use satire.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing findsEnglish8·28 days agoI’m glad I’m one of those people who can’t seem to percieve any difference above 60Hz
Having low standards is pretty convenient
My rule is I can’t buy a game unless I am going to play it that same day.
Even in cases where the rule causes me to miss a sale and end up buying the game later, I’m sure it still saves me money, and - more importantly - saves a tremendous amount of regret and stress caused by buying games that would just sit my library unplayed.

tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Meet the creepiest publisher in indie games. Critical Reflex are “midwives bringing monsters into the world,” backing projects no one dares to touchEnglish14·1 month agoThe beginning of this headline had me mislead.
I read ‘creepiest publisher’, and with the state of the industry these days I immediately thought it was going to be some exposé piece on a toxic culture of workplace misogyny, and sexual harassment.
Glad it’s actually a cool studio doing interesting things!
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is the biggest issue with Lemmy?6·1 month agoI don’t think we want that. It sets some weird precedent that instances need to be lemmy-dot-something, which is both untrue and restrictive on server hosts as a barrier for entry if that becomes the universal convention.

Yeah.
I’m sure there are a lot of people who are apathetc and think it’s not “worth it” to boycott, because “nobody else is doing it” and it “won’t have any effect”
Maybe that’s sometimes true, but for me it’s not even about that. It’s about having principles, sticking to them, and being proud of what I believe in.
Even if it achieves nothing, I’m still doing it.
