Same. The moment Apollo shut down I quit reddit and started using lemmy on the voyager (pretty much an Apollo clone for lemmy)

every repair can be made by a layman with good documentation available, spare parts are quickly available and cheap.

That’s part of the problem isn’t it tho? When products aren’t designed to be serviceable, let alone to be serviceable by someone not specialized, and spare parts aren’t easily available (not even at 3rd parties), your only option quickly becomes to just buy a new one.

A few years back I replaced the screen on my Xiaomi Mi5. Parts were okayish to order, and while I did succeed, I wouldn’t have called it doable by someone who’s not afraid to turn their phone into a glorified paperweight. And that’s only gotten worse since then.

Names appearing on the unsealed list are not an Epstein “client list” or a list of those who were on his flights. Many of those whose names appear in the documents aren’t accused of wrongdoing.

The way I read it this list means pretty much jack all. It’s just names mentioned in a court case - not a client nor fly list.

I won’t be surprised if there would be significant overlap, but without the actual list there’s little to say.

The creator, assuming he didn’t do anything wrong, complied with demands, providing full transcripts of his conversations and chats with gaming handheld manufacturers. The officers also took his phone, promising to return it in a few days. It was returned two months later, on June 15.

Oof. A reminder to not talk to cops, kids.

Okay the city I live in has pretty much the same graph, and speaking from experience it’s not as bad as you’d think at first glance. It’s still dark at night, just for fewer hours.

pace yourself - 5 beers/hour

Man’s going into the date at marathon pace

I hate cyclists, and I’m dutch. Cycle to work or the store? Fine by me, I do it all the time myself. Being a cyclist however? I’ll hate your guts.

Tho I’m pretty sure it’s not that uncommon of an opinion here, most of the time people either hate cyclists, or are one themselves.

They targeted memers.

Memers.

We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital upvote saying we did.

We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the circulation of a fresh image macro all to draw out a single extra point of karma per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same captions over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such memer nirvana that they can literally post these memes blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many screens have been smashed, systems over heated, memefolios destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our meme designers? Memers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the memes our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds on 9gag. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Memers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another imgur struggle.

If people want to watch the video and get the full experience, here is a re-upload: https://youtu.be/dC_8IY6WlHU

I don’t know the full story, but in the comments on the original video I read that Jordies was court ordered to edit out some parts of the audio because of “harassment”.

The only tragedy here is that it hasn’t happened yet.

A bucket!

Can’t be arsed to use protection if you’ll kick the bucket next year anyway

Not a German but I’m dutch so close I guess, and I pretty regularly use =/= and == in text. I picked up == from IT class, not sure about =/=

It’s the artstyle that gives it away for me. I sympathize with actual artists who have this art style cause I will forever think of their art as AI slop

Aaah, that explains the potmeter. Thanks!

What’s the black pcb on top of the odroid?

I know it’s a generation later but the 1660ti I bought secondhand just before the pandemic is also working like a beast. If I had a lot of disposable income maybe I would’ve upgraded but it’s performing so good that I’d rather spend the 1500+ bucks on a different project like a NAS for jellyfin.

If your penis disappears during the winter maybe seek medical attention

hot take

You weren’t kidding

Same with Pokémon. I’m not a big fan of most turn based games, but that franchise especially never spoke to me.

I have a friend who buys every new Pokémon game they bring out. Same him playing one a while back, and I was like, that’s it? They can get super big now? That’s the new thing? To me it’s like FIFA, same game different characters.
