Why do they need a patent for this?
Because if they did it without one, anyone could do it.
If they get the patent, even if they don’t do it, anyone who does have to pay them.
How would this not conflict with just tv remotes?
Video games and TVs are different enough devices
It’s basically negligible tho.
Like I recently busted out Logitech mouse/keyboard combo with a dongle. They say for maybe five years and I’ve been using them for months now and the batteries are still what was in them.
I think that if people are randomly sending that shit to people they don’t know, all it means is they have mental health issues…
I’m not sure what else people would think about it, it’s obviously schizophrenic ramblings
and the charger often quite warm.
People hate on bricks, but they’re still around because of heat dissipation.
Charging a phone in an hour is a lot different than keeping a laptop going for 8 hrs.
That and it was over a decade ago.
Like, Kamala is by no means perfect. But she’s a hell of a lot better than Biden, obviously better than trump, and literally the only option at this point.
If you want to try and pull her to the left on prison reform, then that could be a good use of time and effort. But complaining about something from over a decade ago doesn’t help anything.
ρ.Sh.a.T.
I can’t help out think P Shat was intentional…
The twitter knockoffs always “mention” the person they’re replying to.
I block them because 99% of the post they make they don’t mean to make, and they never seem to understand what’s happening, explaining is just a waste of time.
But as long as they “@ you” you’ll still get new notifications.
If you’re talking about wanting to just get rid of their replies that are still in your inbox without clearing it…
Not sure why, but at least on my instance there’s a green check to acknowledge a notification and it’ll go away
I know it sounds stupid…
But when you cut your GPU power almost in half… You turned settings down a lot right?
That would cause the crash, and sometimes a crash just kinda sticks, no fans, no lights, no output.
You have to flip the switch on the supply and do the hardest of reboots.
Like I said, you probably already did that stuff. But I’ve seen it happen.
The first thing you should always do is try turning it off and on again
On December 1, the situation, somehow, worsened when Kanye appeared on The Alex Jones Show. Over the course of the broadcast, he repeatedly praised Hitler and the Nazi party, insisting that he “loves” Nazis and “likes” Hitler, and at one point blatantly declaring, “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.” His remarks placed Jones in the rare position of attempting to help Kanye walk back his extremism by reminding him that Nazis “did a lot of very bad things.”
“But they did good things, too,” Ye responded. “We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all of the time.”
That was in the morning. By evening, Ye had been indefinitely suspended from Twitter for posting an image of a Nazi swastika inside of a Star of David.

What’s weird is it’s always the accounts with no activity making these complaints…
Including this thread, OP has made 4 posts and 20 some comments over the last year.
She asked me twice whether I thought her stories sounded crazy, so she was clearly somewhat aware of her condition.
Not necessarily.
It’s very likely everyone in her life were telling her it’s all in her head, she gets mad and says she’s not crazy…
Then calls random repair people, tells them the story. And asks “am I crazy” because most businesses would never say that to a client. She was looking for validation, the same way people go fishing for compliments saying stuff like “I’m so bad at my job, I don’t know how you all put up with me”. Even if it’s true and they’re dead weight, most people will be polite and reassure them.
I just didn’t know how to deal with someone like that
Tell them that they should relay their concerns to a medical professional if they’re concerned.
If they’re seriously doubting their delusions, they’ll go get help and thank you for the advice.
More likely they’ll realize you’re not giving them what they want, get mad, and often blame you for being involved in the conspiracy.
But there’s a chance they actually get help.
Any kind of acceptance of their beliefs, no matter how tentative, reinforces it and drives them further into the delusion. Depending on how involved her family is, she might have called them immediately, and after cussing them out said even the plumber agrees she’s not crazy.
They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.
…
You think they do an annual review of threads?
It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.
I don’t know man, it’s weird you’re not getting that, but it doesn’t really matter.
I’m sorry if I’m explaining it poorly.
I did remember it wasn’t I blocked a mod, I explained why I might not respond. And apparently they didn’t like that I had blocked their instance
Weird, maybe because I looked at world’s modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.
I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844
I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.
Like I said tho, I’m perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that clued me in it wasn’t worth ever going there again.
Thanks for finding that tho! I’ll remember to check an instance’s own modlog in the future for more details.
Quick edit:
(which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).
Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there’s no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.
You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.
That’s why they let it stay up a year until I blocked the mod of that community.
And suddenly it was transphobic.
A “tankie” isn’t the same as a communist.
A “tankie” is someone that takes China’s side (the tanks) in that famous picture of Tiananmen square.
Being a “tankie” is using communism as a facade for authoritarian governments where a small group of “upper party members” are essentially oligarchs.
They seem more like nationalists who coopted socialism/communism to white wash what they actually support and overlooking the elite ruling class that they are not a part of.
…
Yes…
They’re defenders of USSR and China…
So obviously they’re not going to actually be socialis/communist.
The problem is when capitalists lump actuall socialists/communists with the fake ones.
On the other hand, I’ve blocked both those instances months ago and it’s been great.
Strangely I did notice I got banned from a blahaj community like a week ago despite not commenting there for at least 6 months, maybe ever?
Which is kind of the whole point of me blocking them
Both have mods/admins that are very very opinionated about things. And they tend to refuse to let things go (much like OP or you making that sub)
So if they see something they dont agree with, they’ll pre-emptively ban an account, because, and this is doubly important right here:
It’s trolls feeding trolls drama in a big loop
You making that sub, OP making this post…
All you’re doing is encouraging them
Can you really not understand?
I’ll try and remember to come back and check if you respond, but I don’t get notifications from instances I’ve blocked.
Edit:
I was banned five days ago apparently for this comment from a year ago:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844
Definitely not because I blocked that mod five days ago and they desperately found a way to “get back”.
Great example of my point tho, silly instances like that there’s no point in fighting them, just block their instance and go about your life.
World is kind of the vanilla instance.
Just.works is a “free speech” instance, I never see many communities hosted there, but a large amount of trolls make accounts there because just.works is unlikely to nuke an account.
Yeah, a little suspect OP’s account is a week old with barely double digit posts/comments if you combine them and most are from this post…
I’m guessing their favorite (of many) accounts got blocked by .ml, so now they don’t want anyone going there.
I don’t get the .ml drama tho, never have. I realized it was a silly place long ago, so I blocked the whole instance.
I did the same for a couple others. It takes like two seconds.
Who cares if it has bigger communities than others? If that’s all I cared about I’d still be on Reddit
I think a lot or people (like OP) can’t drop this mindset because they’re not on the fediverse willinging. It’s probably the only social media site where IP bans aren’t a thing. So people IP banned from the big ones, are gonna trickle down here and do dumb drama hunting shit like OP.
Deja Vu is just an error with how we save memories.
It skips working memory, short term memory, and goes straight into long term memory so everything we experience feels like we’re remembering it, but no matter how hard you try you can’t remember the future.
During certain recreational activities, it can last long enough to realize what’s happening. Normally you just get a brief moment of it till shit gets straightened out.
I’ll never understand why trolls make a new account referencing the banned one, makes it easy to block at least
