What was announced at Summer Games Fest that you are most excited for?
  • Must be due to the epic prison which they enforce as epic invested in its development (which is in their rights, but I really do not like due to how they achieved this in the long time since their exclusivity buyouts).

  • Yellen Calls for EU-US Cooperation to Counter Surge in Chinese Green-Tech Exports
  • I also agree with you. I think it is one of the factors at play here. But your argument is a big one, too. We outsourced a lot of production and thus knowhow which they have adopted and improved upon. The possibility of a tech wise dependence on one nation gives a lot of power to those, which is also why certain technology sectors should be brought back.

    So you say that is the reason for this decision?

    Thank you for answering my question.

  • Yellen Calls for EU-US Cooperation to Counter Surge in Chinese Green-Tech Exports
  • That's not what is critizised here, is it?

    I might misunderstand but I thought the cheap production of necessary components for green energy coming from China, only possible by shortcuts of reducing worker rights or otherwise exploitation of ressources, should be countered.

  • Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones
  • That's fair to be annoyed about. I can understand their approach and their tradeoff for a bit of better water-/rain protection and having less components inside. With an USB-C adapter I am using my analog ear buds, even though I switch more and more to bluetooth as I find them more comfortable.

    Mediocre headphones, I would not say. They are definitely not top of the line technology wise, but I find them sufficient and sometimes even more than I expected fairly produced hardware to be.

  • Better than individual experiences I like to present some reviews, but there doesn't seem to be that many technical reviews in english, at least I did not find them. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/apr/11/fairphone-fairbuds-review-ethically-made-earbuds-with-replaceable-batteries

    However, for in-ears, I find them comfortable, but I am more an over ears person. ANC is alright, I'd say. A bit annoying if I am using it on the train and keep hitting the wall or head rest. But either I adapt to these sounds or the hardware takes a bit more time to filter these vibrations out.

    For the tradeoff of better sustainability and exchangability if something breaks or the batteries need replacing, I find the price fair.

  • If you might also care about the socioeconomic manufacturing process and fair payment for these necessary resources, I can recommend the Fairbuds in-ears or Fairbuds XL for over ear.

    Both have noise cancelling as an option and an equalizer via app.

  • What is the nature of a "Trigger Warning" when discussing works by Disney?
  • It depends on the content you want to talk about. A general warning won't help to avoid trigger, stress or anxiety. Better to write your text, read over it, put it in spoilers and prepend content notes (CN) about the included points. These can be various traumatizing aspects and you can be really detailed as people have various stress symptoms. Food, harrassment, bullying, sexism, death - everything you talk about you can warn your readers with content notes.

  • [Epic Games] Cat Quest II | 100% Off/ Giveaway
  • As we do not have a community on Lemmy that I know of, here is a complete explanation of their service, their misdoings and more. This is pretty in-depth with references to other postings as well as articles and sources.

    They are currently losing money with their strategies either way, because exclusivity is expensive, free games, too. Luckily they still have the Fortnite money...

    But they are winning something else. User numbers. Claimed games as 'purchases' on their storefront. Active users per month. User binding to their ecosystem by having more and more games in their library, for 'free'. This looks good for stakeholders ready to invest, or publishers to accept exclusivity deals in their future.

    And with time, the attrition towards their store will reduce so more and more become paying customers with their dubious tactics.

  • Mehr Vorsorge soll Zahl der Suizide senken
  • Da müsste sich in der Gesellschaft schon viel getan haben, dass diese Vorsorge Früchte trägt. Ich bin nicht gegen den Gedanken, absolut nicht. Gerade auch nicht bei der Datenermittlung. Aber der größte Schmerz liegt halt derzeit an den wenigen Kassensitzen und damit einhergehend freien Therapieplätzen.

  • Cannot login on instances with Lemmy v0.19.0

    Basically title.

    Since the login procedure seems to have changed, the app doesn't work anymore for accounts on already upgraded instances. So, alternative is using the browser or nothing at all. :(
