I really wish companies would stop redesigning things … I wanna buy the same shoes I bought in 2013, and I want the same devices I had in 2016, just with USB-C and updated guts.
The look of the OS didn’t need to change, even if the setting list needed to expand or the security backend needed an upgrade.
Heck, I put extra work into making sure every PC OS still looks like the one I used in 2012.
? It wasn’t great. If they’re concerned about poor turn out in theaters they should look at what else was in theaters and how well they did.
Well, I just dug around the whole market for a small eink reader, and determined I want an x4 with usb-c and a warm front light.
I don’t need a touch screen or any other non-sense. Just a charging interface compatible with everything else, a decent screen, and the ability to read in the dark.
I have an old Boox Nova Pro, but it’s screen refresh went to pot with an OS update, and I kinda stopped using it.
I liked the idea of the Palma and have looked at other ~3inch devices over the years, but the Palma is too pricey and the rest have been about equal in price or junk.
Was tempted to jump on the Bigme bandwagon with one of the recent releases, but I really don’t need anything that fancy.
The x3-x4 price range is about perfect, but what’s the point of epaper with no light or USB-C in 2026?
Bah, what are these people doing?
Who wants to bet the Picco will tick all my boxes but the price will be like $160 USD.
If I get attacked by mosquitoes, even just a few bites, I spray down the whole yard and house siding, and then put out traps.
Figure I kill many for each bite I receive.
That reminds me, I have a zapper and a bat house to install.
Mosquitos messes with the wrong ombre.
Private DNS service.
Ya know, some people actually only get on social media for curated news, to have actual conversations with other humans, or to share or seek advice about specific topics.
I spend most my time in tech, old home remodel, and local/hometown forums.
Interesting, but there’s no evidence they are nazi themselves, just that they intentionally disregard whether any of their partners are nazis, and only concern themselves with whether or not any partnership furthers their goal of promoting open source tech.
So their focus is just limited and immature.
They themselves can still do a lot of good, orgs don’t need to be perfect, but I too would expect them to remove support for extremist led project when made aware, as to ensure they weren’t inadvertently supporting extremist views and actions. But I also can’t see punishing them for being politically or socially stupid while otherwise being very tech savvy.
Like we’ve never met a socially awkward tech savvy person before?
The world is mostly a bunch of grey areas: at this point I disapprove of a couple of their actions, but I won’t boycott them outright for their error.
If they started flying nazi flags themselves, well, then, I suppose things would be a bit different.
"The name “Zoox” is a reference to Zooxanthellae, a marine organism that, like the Zoox robotaxi, depends on renewable energy and is able to maintain a symbiotic relationship with organisms in its surrounding habitat.“
Actually kinda cool, but appropriately dumbed down to be usable in modern coversation, “hold on a sec, my Zoox just pulled up.”
Fun read. Suprised how much of the codespeak I understood. I’ve run linux here or there, and I used to do some hackery decades ago. I’m no modern botnet runner, but it seems things haven’t changed all too much.
Had to look that up… So, it seems to be protopian fiction, typically sci-fi or sci-fantasy, with a cyberpunk type feel?
We need more protopian literature.
Dystopian media tell us what the problems are and shows us why, what their outcomes look like, but there is far less protopian media to tell us what the solutions are or show us how or why they work.
Anyway, good luck on you hunt for a solarpunk community.
Handy, I VPN, but constantly have to use a seperate bypass browser for shopping and any website which forces language by region, which are many.
I’ve even been to some shopping sites with language options at the bottom but that also have endless scroll, so the bottom keeps getting pushed of screen.
There are a few that have an option right up in the corner, but sometimes they’ll only switch language, not region info, so it still shows costs in pesos and $80 shipping to my region.
The internet is 90% trash nowadays.
Hope this fixes that BS.
I don’t know any pirates, but I sure do know a lot of people that share copies of files on the internet.
Yeah, it’s defined as one by the authorities on the subject regardless of the biological characteristics, as it’s defined according to the needs of psychologists to identify and treat dysfunction. Psychologists, especially those that treat patients, are generally not neurologists, or pharmacist, or… So they don’t really care about those details while defining the ‘condition’.
Certainly comparable… Less instances of murder, less direct impact on accused social justice offenders, more impact on fellow victims of accused social justice offender.
Likely not as well thought out action, more emotional reaction.
Certainly comparable.
Who needs to be baited to goon?
I have DuckDuckGo set as default everywhere (with all the AI n such turned off), and I only revert back to Google sometimes when shopping or doing deep research. It still just does some things better, but it’s worth avoiding if you don’t need it.
Just 5 million more and they might get something out of it.
I don’t know when that was, but check out lower decks, prodigy, and strange new worlds. They’re all a bit different, but are definitely Trek. Strange new worlds is kinda Next Gen with a bit more modern humor and special effects. The other too are animations, but lower decks is very adult. Prodigy is probably more family friendly, but it was really good.
I mean, I specifically like GTA because it allows me to rack up 4 stars and brutally and violently murder POS LEOs until they give up cause I’ve trashed their forces and they don’t have anything heavier to send at me.
I would be happy to see the same done in real life, but I doubt the outcome would be anywhere near similar.
I used to even spend hours on Assassin’s Creed just gutting cops, stealing their rides and running over thugs until I saw another set of cops to rob. Then I’d kill them, and take their ride, and…
Fuck the police!
