No one would notice or care… 1/10 🙂

Go for a drive, find a shady looking place to eat, eat something really bad for me and desert.

Head home, play some video games, play some drums, chill… no reason (for me) to make it a big deal.

I spent all of 2024 tracking my spending and saving. I didn’t “budget”, just had a spreadsheet and wrote everything down week over week.

I would recommend it as a habit people may benefit from just to understand where their money goes.

Assuming that a profile is enough to understand someone. Sure, don’t waste time/drag out meeting someone but… actually talk (video chat) and ask questions before you move things along.

Ask questions important to you and what you are looking for.

Hi folks, hope all are well today!

Is there a Lemmy community (or dare I say Reddit sub) that talks about finding locations from photos without meta/EXIF data?

I know there are groups that do this sort of thing for “fun”, so I thought I would ask here first… before doing random internet searches.

I have photo of a person in a location but my “tracking skills” are terrible. Best I can do is determine the country the photo was taken in.

My intent is to keep myself safe, I am not doing anything nefarious!! Just throwing that out there folks 🙂

Appreciate any and all feedback/responses. Have a great day all!

UPDATE 12/20/2024: I was able to very the info I needed without using any photos. However, I do appreciate all the responses. Maybe this post will help others.

Hi folks, hope all are well today. I’m having strange issue related to iOS Lemmy clients.

Issue: when replying to posts or other comments, the volume when typing goes way up. Meaning it’s really loud. However, the volume indicator shows the volume as being low. Using the volume buttons has no effect.

Yet, typing a new post (such as this one) the volume is normal.

This has happened with Voyager and Mlem, haven’t tried any others yet.

Has anyone experienced this? I thought it was a Voyager issue until I installed Mlem and it happened.

Thoughts, comments, aimless ramblings are all welcome!

Top three are: The First Descendant, Elder Scrolls Online, and just started Lords Of The Fallen (which is pretty tough TBH).

hi folks, hope all are well today. new'ish gamer and i have a question about etiquette in MMORPGs.

are there proper ways to engage people in game? it seems strange to me to randomly ask someone to be friends. i also don't see many ways to strike up conversations (if that's the proper way to refer to it).

for additional context, in a game like Throne & Liberty or FFXIV, there are tons of people running around doing their thing. do you just whisper to someone and say hi? do you comment on their character or if you saw them do something interesting / cool?

or, for something like The First Descendant you may run a mission with a bunch of random people and then everyone goes their separate ways. but, if that group was cool (and good) do you quickly try to friend everyone?

personal context (if it helps / matters), console gamer (PlayStation don't judge please, haha), really introverted / anxious around strangers IRL, older play (mid 50s) and ultimately... afraid of looking like a weirdo 😀

apologies in advance if this topic was already discussed (happy to check another post if some can point me to it). also, apologies if i don't directly respond to every message, although i will read them all.

edit - 2024/11/16 - i just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your advice and taking the time to reply / provide your insights. this has really been helpful!! happy gaming to you all 🎮 🕹️ 😄

Serious question, what would be a recommended alternative?

[-] randomcruft 7 points 5 months ago

Not 100% sure on Samsung specific apps but, UAD makes life easier when trying to debloat Android phones.

I’m not directly affiliated with the development, I just thinks a cool tool. The more people using / contributing the better it will get.

You might want to take a look at Universal Android Debloater it may help, but not necessarily meet all your requirements.

[-] randomcruft 4 points 11 months ago

Agreed! I only use it for hobby purposes but the amount you can do is staggering.

This was an interesting movie(s) to say the least. You need to watch all of them, regardless if your stomach can handle it 🙂

Hi and hope all are well today. First, thanks in advance for any / all responses. Second, apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this question.

I’m curious if anyone, has moved completely from using an AppleTV to something else. Current use case for the ATV is a few streaming apps (Crunchyroll / HiDive, Tubi, etc.) and Apple Arcade (a few casual games).

If you did completely switch, what did you decide on using? Did you go back to buying movies / using a DVD/Blu-Ray player, setup a mini PC and stream from websites / rip music and movies, use a gaming console instead, etc.?

Exploring options and entertaining thoughts for right now. Again, thanks and have a good day / evening.

Edit - 2024/01/01 - Just wanted to thank everyone for the lively discussion and resources (links, recommendations, etc.) related to my question.
