@snow_bunny Nah, it was Sonos. Which, I guess the app ecosystem is their whole thing - but I didnāt know that at the time. I just wanted a basic sound bar, and the reviews didnāt really mention that all that extra fluff was mandatory.
In retrospect Sonos sucks for a lot of other reasons too, so I guess it was a bullet dodged.
@The_Picard_Maneuver I once bought a TV sound bar that wanted me to download an app, make an account and give it detailed location information just to use it as a wired speaker. I returned it.
@SPAUZPiMP @scarabic Oh wow, did he literally say āirreducible complexity?ā That is SO blatant lol.
āTim Walz is a weird radical liberal,ā the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. āWhat could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boysā bathrooms?ā
Itās so funny watching conservatives attempt to turn the"weird" thing around.
@wizardbeard Oh yeah, totally - itās not like the 1% doesnāt use these things to its advantage. Donāt take my comment as making the mistake of ignoring that. Itās just myopic at best to act like other forms of oppression can be ignored as long as we ensure economic liberation. And a lot of the people spouting that opinionā¦ well, thereās a reason they think bigotry isnāt a problem - they suck.
@cyborganism @GammaGames Thereās a particular category of āleftistā who, to put it gently, have a greatly simplified view of the world in which āthe only war is class war.ā They regard social issues such as anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation as distractions from the ātrueā cause of bringing about a new economic system - unimportant at best, active interference invented by the ruling class at worst.
Basically, theyāre narrow-minded bigots.
@WoahWoah Not to be the obnoxious didact in the room but I do feel compelled to point out that vegetables/herbs soaked in oil at room temp are generally not a good idea unless you like botulism poisoning: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/food/preservation/herbs-vegetables-oil-sp-50-701
Just for anyone whoās not aware! Honestly, immediately shitting yourself was not even close to the worst possible outcome lol.
@AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. Theyāve repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehawās decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and theyāve been pretty open about discussing it. Youāre way off-base.
@agressivelyPassive You should still clean your kitchen though, thatās my point.
