better to listen to 108 minutes of fart noises

It’s nice these people are getting banned from things and fired and quitting but like these are crimes and they should also go to jail

I tried the same thing and hit the same issue, it looks like free plans are all restricted to 30 second clips. I’m using Pandora now. It’s not good for listening to a particular song at a particular time, it’s really only for background sound and “ad silence” in f-droid works to mute its ads

I may be cringe butt

Walk, transit, bike, ebike. Not in that order, but I was deliberate about where I live, so I can get groceries or go out to do stuff without driving.

like someone stepped on a Capri sun

The distinction here is important- $26K is premiums which is money that goes to the insurance companies. You will end up paying more than that with co-pays, deductibles, etc.

I had that Rage shirt

Rather than a cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 chip, the NexPhone is going with a rather odd choice of Qualcomm SoC: the QCM6490. This chip is primarily designed for IoT purposes, and it’s not exactly new, either — we saw the Fairphone 5 running it back in 2023, and it was noticeably sluggish, even then.

Doesn’t say how the various OS’es get installed, they talk about some kind of multi-boot in the OS, that sounds bad for long-term maintenance. Give me an x86_64 CPU and UEFI, maybe I’m interested. This ain’t it.

There’s like eleven people out there in the world that paid for the quest pro so they could use this and are very upset right now.

My Go 2 was always dog slow under GNOME with Fedora Silverblue, I ended up bagging it for a Chuwi Minibook X which is like twice as thick but all the other dimensions about the same and so much faster with an N100. The current version has an N150 which should be slightly better. All the hardware, even the camera, worked ootb. Highly recommended.

Looks nice, thanks! I’ve had my eye on Monica for a while but always bounced off it rather than bothering to add MySQL to my stack, so I appreciate you’re picking postgres. What other differentiations from Monica would you highlight?

I can get a free game from them every week, often more than that, and I still forget it exists for months at a time

Wait, my whole goal is to destabilize the west, am I on the wrong platform?

You need to stop what you’re doing, boof a pile of your psychoactive of choice, and watch Zardoz, immediately

Because audio CDs get written the opposite way to data CDs. I forget which is which but one gets written outside-in and the other inside-out.

$500US, 12 games, so $41/game. That’s honestly not terrible compared to buying 12 board games but I’m not feeling these smart devices with nebulous concepts of ownership. If I buy a Catan set, I can always play Catan. If this thing enshittifies and now I have to pay like $10/mo to keep playing, the math stops mathing.

I don’t get why people reflexively suggest streaming boxes. A standalone Roku, Onn or FireTV is gonna spy on you just as much as any of these things. Apple TV is probably the best of a bad bunch (esp. since Nvidia enshittified the Shield TV). There’s options like running the Shield with an alternate launcher or putting a ROM on the Fire stick or running A Linux STB but none of those are particularly accessible to the non-tech set.

Kolektiva knuckled under to a fed search warrant, I wouldn’t touch that instance with a 10-foot pole. https://www.eff.org/sh/deeplinks/2023/07/fbi-seizure-mastodon-server-wakeup-call-fediverse-users-and-hosts-protect-their

I see a buncha commies out there, there’s a bunch on normal.style and jorts.horse. Seem to be a preponderance on the shitposting-oriented instances.
