Steve@communick.newsto Casual Conversation@piefed.social•when one needs to launch a search on the internet, the most common tool they have at hand is google. I do the same too.English3·1 hour agoI’ve been using Kagi for over a year now.
I can’t go back to ad funded search.Also the phrasing you used in your question was surprisingly poetic with all the Os.
Steve@communick.newstoExplain Like I'm 5 (ELI5)•Why is the internet trying to kill VPNs?English1·3 hours agoA lot of scammers and bots us VPNs. Or sometimes VPNs look like bots with the amount of traffic coming from a single IP. So some sites make things difficult or impossible with VPNs. It’s annoying as fuck. Especially since there are better ways to handle that.
Steve@communick.newsto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•2026 Denza Z9 GT is confirmed for Australia with 1000+ km driving range and less than 10 minutes charge timeEnglish1·4 hours agoYou’re right. That wouldn’t work
I’m 83% sure it’s fake. The alignment of the letters is all perfectly even, when the shirt isn’t. But it looks like some shadow gradient effect was applied to try to match the shirt.
Steve@communick.newsto Risa@startrek.website•I don't remember this interaction between Picard and Q.English12·5 hours agoMaybe if you saved it all in cash. But who does that?
If you invested the first $100k and earned a very modest 4%/year. After 2000 years you’d have $1,165,946,431,999,999,965,770,988,108,697,149,898,752
Steve@communick.newsto politics •‘We lose the midterms’: Republicans worry Iran might have already cost them CongressEnglish11·7 hours agoIt wasn’t Iran. They’ve lost literally every special election since Rump took office. Including all the solid red Rump counties and states.
Yes.
I signed up with Google Play Music All Access in its two month intro way back when. At the time it was $7.99mo for life. They included YouTube Red when that launched. Now after all the name changes and price hikes, I’m still locked in at $7.99. I’ll keep it as long as that lasts.
Steve@communick.newsto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•2026 Denza Z9 GT is confirmed for Australia with 1000+ km driving range and less than 10 minutes charge timeEnglish21·9 hours agoThat kind of range is such a waste.
The overwhelming majority of people don’t drive a tenth of that on a given day. 500km is plenty. Even for roadtrips. Then the charge time would get down to 5min!
Steve@communick.newsto movies@piefed.social•Gen Z Goes to the Movies! Younger Audiences Are Driving the Box Office, Study ShowsEnglish31·19 hours agoYou should find a better theater, or a better time to go.
Monday - Thursday is best. You avoid all the crowds.
Steve@communick.newsto movies@piefed.social•Gen Z Goes to the Movies! Younger Audiences Are Driving the Box Office, Study ShowsEnglish41·19 hours agoI’m 46. I go to the theater every week or so. There is plenty of new stuff. I check every week for whats new at my favorite spot. Anything that seems remotely interesting or different, I check out.
I just saw The Drama yesterday. It’s quite good I think.
I say I think, because my specific reaction to the inciting event of the drama, wasn’t what I think the filmmaker expected. Because my reaction was so different, I just didn’t empathize with most of the characters.But you all should definitely see it. In the theater if possible, so we get more different movies.
Steve@communick.newsto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•'It doesn’t catch fire': Why China’s "fireproof" sodium battery could be the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE carsEnglish172·19 hours agoI thought they are safer.
ICE cars catch fire every day.Now I’m curious…
Okay. After some AI assisted recearch. In most ways, EVs and ICEVs make no real difference in accidents, when controlled for vehicle age. Which makes perfect sense, since they’re the same in all the ways that matter here. However fire rates are dramatically lower for EVs. Like 1/60th as frequent. Though EV fires are much worse. They burn hotter and are extremely difficult to put out. But EV fires are so rare that fire related fatality data is too small to be statistically meaningful. So that’s good.
Steve@communick.newsto Fuck Cars•US carmakers say proposed EU rules could block large pickup trucks from EuropeEnglish31·1 day agoI don’t think that was an untended consequence.
Steve@communick.newsto movies@piefed.social•'Dune: Part Three' IMAX 70MM Showtimes Are Already Selling OutEnglish81·3 days agoThis third movie, is only the end of the beginning of the full story. Though it’ll be the last from Denis Villeneuve.
You’ve got a lot of education ahead of you, if you care to learn about movies, literature, and culture.
Steve@communick.newsto No Stupid Questions•Why are Clark and Lois such terrible people and parents in Superman & Lois?English7·4 days agoYou mean the Homelander who told his son: It doesn’t matter if you kill people, because they’re humans? That Homelander is a better father than Clark? Because Clark is a hypocrite?
Steve@communick.newsto No Stupid Questions•Samsung is shutting down SMS/RCS — is the a good alternative to Google's messenger?English1·4 days agoIf they’re already using it what are you trying to convince them of?
Steve@communick.newsto No Stupid Questions•Samsung is shutting down SMS/RCS — is the a good alternative to Google's messenger?English531·4 days agoThere are no real alternatives to Google Messages. There are lots of SMS apps. None of them support RCS, because Google won’t let them. So any alternatives will be a downgrade at lest in that regard. Usually a number of others also.
I’ve used most of the SMS apps out there, none are nearly as nice a Google Messages. It’s a shame, but it’s true. I’ve kinda settled on Textra for now, but I’m always looking for something better.
Steve@communick.newsto No Stupid Questions•Samsung is shutting down SMS/RCS — is the a good alternative to Google's messenger?English46·4 days agoNo we were talking about Signal.
That’s what the comment you responded to mentioned.
Steve@communick.newsto No Stupid Questions•Samsung is shutting down SMS/RCS — is the a good alternative to Google's messenger?English64·4 days agoYou get that using any other SMS app and Signal.
Literally the only gain is having one app instead of two.
I don’t get it.
