Nothing. We’re a country of ~350 million diverse people who believe lots of different things. And this question seems in very bad faith from a 21 minute old account.

I just keep supporting open source and following the forks as needed. Otherwise, I’m self-hosting what I can and going lo-fi where I can’t.

Also: !oldmanyellsatcloud@dubvee.org for all your “ranting about how modern tech sucks” needs.

Yes, please!

The Titan 2 Elite looks awesome though it appears to be just a render right now. I was looking at the original Titan a while back but it was pretty dated even then. Gonna keep an eye out for the Elite.

The phone will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, have 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. There is no word on the display or the battery, but going by the previous release, it should be an AMOLED screen, and the battery should be 5,000mAh. Neither is there any word about the release timeline, pricing, or other features of the device right now. The sole official render of the phone suggests a sleeker-looking body, erringly similar to the Clicks Communicator.

Hard to quantify it, so bear with me.

Not so much a specific genre or distribution medium as much as “the artist/band was born after 9/11”. Like, there are some bands that have been around forever and still putting out new stuff and that’s mostly fine (though I don’t necessarily like all of it) but anything overly electronic is basically a hard pass for me.

Oh yeah, I’m the same. It just gets rarer and rarer each year that I find something I can enjoy. Objectively, it has nothing to do with the quality of modern music (well, maybe a little lol) just the styles changing and my taste not keeping up.

Most contemporary music sounds like shit. I try to stay current to at least within the last 3 years, but the older I get, the more it just sounds like shit.

South Park did an episode about it, and they were spot on.

Good morning. How are you?

Fine, and you?

Technically that was two lies because I did not care how they were doing.

Looks like they banned you from the lemmy.zip instance only: https://lemmy.zip/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModBan&userId=16510340

When a federated account is banned from an instance, the backend also bans them from any community on the instance they’ve interacted with (including if you’ve just voted in them if I’m not mistaken).

Also, yes, admins can ban anyone on any community on their instance (but only locally if it’s a remote community). Ergo, a lemmy.zip admin can ban you from !asklemmy@lemmy.world on their instance, but you won’t be officially banned and other instances will see your content there while users on lemmy.zip will not.

Okay, care to elaborate on its shortcomings?

Well, removed yes. Deleted, not always.

On these, yes, but the batteries are not integrated like in modern laptops.

My record is 9.9 years (and going). This is my old Thinkpad T420 which lives on my equipment rack to act as a SSH / web console for my equipment. I just close the lid and put it to sleep when it’s’ not in use. It doesn’t even connect to the internet, just my isolated management VLAN.

My HomeAssistant server (also an old ThinkPad) is the next longest at just under a year. It also lives on an isolated VLAN.

Both of these are repurposed laptops with batteries in good condition and thus have built-in UPS (in addition to the UPS they’re plugged into).

The rest average about 4-7 months depending on power outages (rare but when they do occur, they’re longer than my UPS can provide) and rebooting for kernel updates.

You can also self host it: https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/pairdrop

This probably isn’t the answer you want to hear, but yes, I still consider it slop.

Not everyone is an artist, and that’s okay. Just do your best, and even the worst chicken-scratch doodles are better than what any AI craps out.

Is the bootloader unlockable?

Good to know.

I think this just fixes the bug where deleted accounts were invisible to admins. It’s a start but doesn’t fully address the problem. Still, having it federate the content removal is a step in the right direction.

They’ve also been throwing out rage bait in the “YSK” community. But yeah, I definitely agree it’s a problem. So much so that I’ve added some built-in filters for that in Tesseract (client-side) to deal with it. I don’t want to go into the technical details for fear of that jackass trying to counter them, but suffice it to say they’re effective based on their current M.O… I just need to finish this release and get it pushed out as it’s been approaching vaporware status over the last 1-2 months.

I think Piefed is also taking action in either its UI or backend. I don’t recall exactly what, but I saw something mentioned a week or two ago on another post complaining about that self-deleting spammer account.

Pretty much any movie franchise on or after the 3rd film (Transformers, Fast and the Furious, etc). If it’s based on a book series, then the first one after the source material runs out (e.g. Jurassic Park III and later).

I had to google “Ozempic face” because I’ve apparently been living under a rock.

In case anyone else was under a rock…

From Cleveland Clinic:

Generally stick with H264 codec in mp4 container and you’ll be fine. Those are supported by pretty much every browser and most apps.

Uploading to your instance is hit or miss depending on how it’s configured or whether it will accept anything other than images. Most people just upload them to catbox and use the link from there in the posts.
