BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Ask UK@feddit.uk•Have you replaced any British words with their American versions?4·1 year agoI’ve always spelt it with two Ls and just found after your comment that American English doesn’t 🤢
BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Ask UK@feddit.uk•Have you replaced any British words with their American versions?English165·1 year agoAmerican here, I tend to spell words the British way because they make more sense, and I’ve done it since I was a teenager, for some reason it pisses off my older brother lol.
Examples:
- Grey
- Defence
- Offence
- Theatre
- Customisation
- Analyse
- Flavour
etc. etc.
BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•best device for avoiding transcoding?English31·1 year agoHe’s referring to how you need an iPhone or iPad to set up the Apple TV; you can’t sign in to it without one. It’s an odd ‘overlook’ from Apple.Apologies, they did for an iCloud Update on Apple TV: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/apple-tv-users-may-need-an-iphone-or-ipad-to-accept-icloud-terms-and-conditions/articleshow/97063589.cms
BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investmentEnglish1·1 year agoFrom a media perspective, I am inclined to agree; however, like the article said, the experiences of these devices are getting worse for seemingly no reason. Personally, I’m inclined to believe NVIDIA may not make another device like the shield because of the focus on AI and chips. I’d imagine these devices make little profit compared to all the money being made with the current focus on AI.
I don’t really like the lock downed experience of Apple’s ecosystem, but the software updates make these devices, particular the Apple TV, better every year.
BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investmentEnglish22·1 year agoWhen it comes to streaming devices, nothing beats Apple TV in my opinion.
Outside the Apple TV app itself, the OS has very little ads. The only thing I dislike about it is the lack of Kodi + Google Drive plug in, but Infuse Pro works.
BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Choose the planet, choose Ecosia: why you’re going to be asked to pick a search engineEnglish64·1 year agoI’d rather directly use Bing and utilize the ‘Give with Bing’ feature to donate to a non-profit of choice; when I did use Bing, I did it for LGBT and LGBT Youth.
BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Majority of Americans now use ad blockersEnglish13·1 year agoAsked how likely big companies would be to abuse their data, Americans were most wary of TikTok (59 percent), followed by: Meta (56 percent), X/Twitter (49 percent), OpenAI (48 percent), Google (44 percent), Apple (41 percent), Amazon (40 percent), Microsoft (38 percent), Comscore (32 percent), and Adobe (31 percent).
I’m surprised people trust Microsoft and Amazon more than Apple; Amazon needs all the data they can get on you to build “better” profiles on what to sell you, ties your Alexa requests to feed advertising (you can opt out) and Microsoft, especially with Edge (post advertising and services team takeover) has been trying to send everything to Microsoft to feed both ads and their AI. FFS, even Outlook warns you now that they’ll share your data with >800 “partners”.
Apple is no saint, far from it, but people trust a conglomerate over it?

Oddly enough, I noticed it in the video where he talks about his friend who repaired childhood photos of his.

BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•The Google Pay app is shutting down in the USEnglish41·1 year agoBad comparison. There is no such thing as the ‘Apple Pay app’. Everything is done through the Wallet app, Apple Pay uses the wallet app.

BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•The top five RSS readers for keeping up with your news feedsEnglish1·1 year agoThat’s why I like reeder on Apple devices.
Instead of needing yet another service to subscribe to RSS feeds and have them sync + potentially pay a fee for service, Reeder allows users to subscribe locally and sync it to iCloud across all devices. It was and is a major appeal of the app compared to others in the Apple ecosystem.
BoisZoi@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why has the world gone to shit?English96·1 year agoEvery generation feels this.
I believe the reason that each generation feels this way is the different ways that each generation is exposed to information about current events, wars, etc. and now more than ever with the internet, it’s hard to escape. The internet also makes echo chambers worse than before because not only are they easier to get into, they’re much louder and have more influence.
As for products, companies are focused on user/subscriber growth more than ever instead of having a good product. The idea is essentially “why have a good product people pay for when you can half ass it and get people to pay”.

Literally, most people with Goyte; his music outside his one hit wonder is so fucking good. I highly recommend listening to more of his work if you haven’t.
