CNN 18. AKA “The Dieciocho”

That’s ok. You’re young. You’ve still got time.

Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. Kurt punched his card before it could happen to him too.

For anyone who doesn’t understand what this flag represented for the last 250 years. Go find out. I’d say if any of us should fly this flag it should be a Supreme Court Justice. If you don’t like him based on his rulings then fine, say so, but don’t besmirch this flag and its meaning based on some small group who recently co-opted it. This post reeks of small brain syndrome or someone intentionally trying to tear down our institutions to weaken us as a nation. Which seems to be the warfare of the social media age. Slow like a millstone. Constantly grinding from the edges at our foundation.

And then he yawned.

She’s up for reelection Nov 5, 2024. If she loses then her last day will be Jan 3, 2025. Georgia please elect someone better. It’s a very low bar.

Say to them.

Look. I see you’re very heated on this subject, but I can’t afford to care right now. I don’t want to get worked up about this. All this conversation is going to do is bum me out or make me agitated. It’s not good for my work environment. I’m just trying to concentrate on my work and hopefully get through the day in a better mood than when it started.

Home schooled. Socially awkward. Hmm. /s

Some of those apps are available through the community package center. If not then you can run a docker environment or a virtual machine on the DS and run whatever you want. It’s got a lot more horsepower than a single board computer, but I still recommend separation of duties and let the NAS be a NAS. Put your services on a server or separate virtual environment.

We can sell 80 percent of the screen WITHOUT inducing seizures.

Two 8oz cups. Any more than that and my eye begins to twitch like tweek from south park.

I do the same thing. I use all as my home page so I can see new and interesting stuff.

I tend to block most 'ism and 'ism-adjacent communities, Foreign language communities, political communities, NSFW/Fetish, and a few highly specific tech/app/language communities that mostly only post version updates.

Bots. lots of bots. If your community is 90% bot posts/repost aggregation and I see 5-10 posts consecutively in ‘all’ because your bot just vomited up it’s entire load in a 120 second span then I’ll probably block it.

People today tend to fixate on the things that are out of their control. Perhaps it’s because we have lost our coping mechanisms. Perhaps it’s because they never learned any. We live in the most technologically advanced point in time we have ever known. Few of us need to go out and till the earth to grow our own food. The majority of us don’t have to physically work as hard as previous generations. Adults and our children find their enjoyment and existential dread by watching tiny screens filled with useless entertainment. Maybe things are fine. We just make shitty choices about what to do with our time, and what we give our attention to.

Final Fantasy VII. Don’t change the story. Don’t change the combat. Don’t change the open world. Don’t add a damn card game. Don’t add a damn VR training session. Don’t split it up into episodes.

Just update the graphics and fix bugs.

If people like it, then do VIII next.

Sounds like my Sony Bravia

I suspect marketing bullshittery. I’ve bought “sugar in the raw” a few years ago to try, and it reminded me of back in In high school chemistry II in which I did an experiment where I took a brand name sugar and a lower budget brand sugar and examined it under a microscope. The budget brand sugars’ crystal structure was larger but hollow. Weighing the two by volume showed less mass for the budget brand. Putting the same volume of the two in a mortar and grinding with a pestle yielded less volume for the budget brand which means for the same volume you’re getting less sugar.

I believe that “sugar in the raw” does the same thing to give you less for more price, but compounds it’s marketing by telling you it’s unprocessed and more natural. Maybe that’s true but you’re certainly getting less product for the price. One would think less processing would cost less. The only difference from the experiment was that you were paying less for less. Kind of interesting how business ethics have changed over the years.

OpenAudible. I strip the DRM from all of my Audible audiobooks and archive them.

There’s a free way to do it using rainbowcrack but OA is simpler.

Exactly the kind of thing I would expect to mildly infuriate someone who wears socks labeled right and left.

Lemmy user #1: “No.”
