Buy a projector instead. Most don’t have any of the “smart” spyware that TVs do yet. Plus you get like a 4x bigger screen for for half the price

My Roku stick doesn’t seem to have ads. But I recently switched to a Google Chromecast TV and like it the most. Better interface and more features than Roku (e.g. Bluetooth). The one thing that’s worse is the remote.

What’s the offical Android app for Lemmy? I’ve only tried the web app on Lemmy.world which has a pretty awful UI.

Is this an ad for something or just trying to spread general fear and panic?

Does it have a feature where you can feed fake GPS locations and contacts to apps that require those permissions to work? Loved that in some old Android ROMS

I like that idea. A twist on it would be to divide the votes on a post by the total vote count or user count for that instance, so each instance has the same proportional say as any other. e.g. if a server with 1000 people gives 1000 upvotes, those count the same as a server with 10 people giving 10 votes.

I’m flabbergasted we’re getting no metroidvania love in here so I’ll list my two favorites: Hollow Knight and Blasphemous. Both with sequels coming out this year which I’m so excited about!

I used to write a lot of performance-critical Java (oxymoron I know) for wearables, and one time I got a code reviewer who only did server-side Java, and the differences in our philosophies were staggering.

He wanted me to convert all my code to functional style, using optionals and streams instead of simple null checks and array iterations. When explained that those things are slower and take more memory it was like I was speaking an alien language. He never even had to consider that code would be running on a system with limited RAM and CPU cycles, didn’t even understand how that was possible.

That’s wild that shared ptr is so inefficient. I thought everyone was moving towards those because they were universally better. No one mentions the performance hit.
