I noticed you're still working with polymers.

Yes! I kept going through SD cards and DietPi was suggested... It's been rocking for years now.

Yeah, dedicated fingerprint readers were so nice. On-screen readers are slow, require you to look to align your finger, and unreliable since the thumb gets most of the abuse. Also, I usually have to press the power button when taking my phone out of my pocket to wake it up to bother to scan my thumb. Sometimes, I will be perfectly aligned on the reader and nothing happens... Until I pick up my finger and then it activates the reader and scolds me for moving my finger too fast. These are just neat tech demos, one step forward for the tech, but two steps back for functionality.

I'm afraid we'll never see separate fingerprint readers again since it puts the cost and manufacturing burden on the screen manufacturers.

It'd be a shame if these fake animals were made out of solid sharp materials... Just sayin'

Also, I think the lights would be perfectly happy being plugged in like that because they are LEDs. I don't know how many it would take stacked like that before you would have trouble, but I feel like it would be a lot more.

Gen alpha: What are "TV channels?"

I guess I get it now, but I don't like. It bothers me since the pictures are different, but I see now how it's the point. I was interpreting it both ways. So, I got it, but at the same time, was annoyed that wasn't the point of the joke in the show.

It's like the Pam from The Office "It's the same picture" meme, Pam was tricking Creed into busy work to keep him out of trouble, so the pictures are the same, but everyone puts two different pictures in it which makes Pam look like the idiot.

It would end up getting ignored or quickly devolve into the same shit as the others. 😞

Fuck, if Microsoft couldn't do it, then there's not much hope for anyone else.

Hey now, you're looking at this all wrong: if you break your phone because you didn't have a case on, it should be easily fixable! ;⁠-⁠)

I get random right and far right posts too.

He's a con man and everyone needs to know it. There are still too many people who think he's the best person on Earth.

I like how he's turning extwitter into 4chan. Advertisers hate it though, but advertising only accounts for 90% of their revenue, nbd

And please, please, please do not use tap water. You may get a brain eating amoeba which will end you, guaranteed.

Well, it's better than total inaction.

Dude! You're getting a Dell!

@NiaTheCat found the fix. Turns out that I didn't have English selected as a second language. All I had selected in my profile settings was "undetermined."

Also, no, this was happening in pretty much every thread and I only have one community blocked in my profile. However, it's fixed now and I'm very happy!

c/support helped me out. Turns out that I only had "undetermined" selected for my language in my profile settings when I should have also selected "english."

THAT WAS IT! Thank you so much!
