We probably don’t agree.
I probably said something you didn’t like.
You look lovely, by the way. New shirt?
Magnesium threonate cured my insomnia, it’s fucking wild how well it works. I’d tried everything until I discovered it, from melatonin, to antihistamine sleeping pills, all the way to downing 350ml of whiskey every night just to force sleep.
Magnesium works better than every single thing I’ve tried (but you HAVE to let yourself fall asleep when you feel it starting to work.)
Not OP, but I went with PopOS. I’d used it in a VM for a few years, so I decided to install it when I finally decided to make the switch after Microsoft decided to reveal that dystopian “record everything on your screen, coming to a PC near you soon” bullshit.
I did the same the other day, although I’m dual booting as I still need Windows for a few things (namely Photoshop.) Slowly getting used to Linux though, and it does feel… free. It’s extremely nice. Games run better (I mean fuck, the entire computer runs better.) I already use GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8, so it’s nice to have my PC finally move towards privacy too.
I’ll legitimately be moving to Linux today. This just broke the camel’s back for me.
Goddamn, you fucking killed him dude.
Came here to post EveryNoise. Absolutely incredible site that just fucking WORKS. Can’t believe I went as long as I did without knowing about it.
Innertune. It hooks into YouTube music without any ads, no account creation required, offline listening, and it’s free. One of the best apps on my phone.
I’d prefer to use my vote with stupid optimism that things may get better instead of ‘punishing’ society because people are, for the most part, dumb as fuck. I believe things can improve. I’m not going to let self destructive sentiment win out even in dark times.
Living in Australia means piracy is essentially legal - individuals can only be taken to court for the cost of one physical copy of the pirated media, so companies don’t even bother as long as you aren’t distributing. The more things in this area get worse, the more justified I feel in filling up my 10TB HDD.
Early 30’s here. I was at a small gathering my best mate put together about a year ago, and his 19 year old nephew was there. He expressed his interest in anime and we got chatting. While showing me some newer anime-related TikTok stuff (I have no social media myself and haven’t really kept up with modern anime), I heard some fucking awesome ‘aggressive trap’ stuff and asked him who the artist was. It was Lil’ Darkie and I was immediately hooked. I went down a rabbit hole searching his best stuff as well as other similar artists, and now have a huge playlist of great music I’d have never discovered on my own.
imo music discovery is a pretty organic process for most people. It’s cultural and spreads via word of mouth. Chatting with younger people may be the best way to go, but understand that the youth rightfully don’t want us in their spaces lmao
It’ll be such a surprise when it turns out all 10 have been suicidal for years and/or extremely susceptible to infection.
He’s been flying helicopters for like 80 years.
Cool, please do.
Happy I stuck with my older Samsung dumb TV. Great screen, decent size, flat enough to mount on a wall, and does everything I need it to do regarding hooking up my little i5/8GB baby office PC turned media hub. I don’t care that it’s only 1080p, looks just fine when I’m in bed and watching movies on it. Even when smart devices were first becoming THE thing to have, the idea of having to download updates for my TV got me thinking about the more nefarious aspects of such tech the future may hold.
I think a lot of it comes down to me just not being very materialistic, or needing my household devices to be internet ready with installed apps and no way of managing permissions or data harvesting. Even my cars are older, and were made well before integrated SIM cards and constant data collection, and I’ve no plans to upgrade any time soon. I guess I just never ‘got’ the appeal of having a smart device that wasn’t just my phone (and even then, I barely use any apps on my phone outside a web browser (which eliminates the need for most apps anyway) and the camera.)
You couldn’t pay me enough to go back to that cesspool. Three years free of it, and have only experienced positives. As another user also stated, I’ve got social media blocked on the DNS level, as well as no longer using reddit.
Kbin and Lemmy are pretty good, but I still limit my usage.
No, and the answer isn’t policing speech. The block button exists for a reason. Use it.
Legitimately yes. You can call me whatever you like.
I’m not going to start censoring my own speech, thank you. You don’t have to agree with it.
I have autism and ADHD, so no, I won’t stop using it. I don’t like the idea of a word having any real power, which restricting its usage does. There is no debate here for me, I am completely against that kind of thing.
Honestly, a lot of first party GameCube games have aged incredibly well. Mario Party, Wind Waker, Warioware, Smash, Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion etc. all still look fantastic today, resolution aside.
