  • Wear comfortable cloths that fit you well. When its time to replace something, get the same you had or pick out a new one you like.

    Keeping up with "fashion" isn't a time problem, its a wallet problem. The marketing is all designed to give you the feeling of missing out so you'll buy cloths you don't need.

    Think back to childhood "back to school cloths"; did anyone actually care if your day 1 outfit was brand new and the latest fad? No. (If they did, damn them for ruining my point).

  • Those two must have had a deal (and eventually Spike joined in)...

    Tom chases Jerry around without catching him and Jerry doesn't kill Tom in self defense. Anything that changes the status quo, they team up to defeat.

  • Permanently Deleted

    Jump
  • Not having removable storage stinks, but Graphine has overall been good, not perfect, but better than google spyware.

    If you do make the switch (or not) I highly recommend setting a up a backup for your contacts, photos and whatever else is important.

    I started backing up apps "export settings" files too. Makes switching phones so much easier.

    (I use syncthing to pick the folders I want)

  • Unfortunately, I don't know any 1 to 1 replacement, but here's a few other channels I follow.

    Steve Lehto - radio show style commentary on various stories. Typically smaller unique stories you don't see on mainstream news.

    Attorney Tom - The USCSB commentaries are fun. He's the other lawyer suing Honey with Legal Eagle. Recently has some very timely videos, such as honey, fires and yesterday released a video how suing the government works

  • UGreen cables for charging (switched from Anker after Eufy shit)

    CablesMatter for everything else (HDMI, Display port, usb for data, etc).

    As with anything, you have to take care of it. Cables are fragile. If you're wadding them up in a ball, letting the cable bend at the connector funny or ripping the cable out, the cable will break eventually. Braided cables are more resistant to abuse, but not invincible.

  • And that's how we end up with young adults entering the work force that can't

    • type
    • navigate the web safely
    • save something to a specified directory
    • transfer a file
    • maintain backups
    • recognize suspisous websites/news/ads
    • navigate the constantly changing Microsoft UIs
    • troubleshoot anything as simple as turning on the computer screen

    The world is different than it was 30 years ago, if we don't prepare them for the internet age, then they will fail.

    I do agree, physical books and learning off-screen is very important. Letting kids use the open web all day is not helpful, but bring them the computer lab to teach them the productive uses of a computer.

  • Yeah, these pro/con lists are just random bullshit with 0 accountability and consistency.

    The only useful comparisons are ones that show the actual specs side by side, and even then it doesn't tell the whole story.

  • I filter out a bunch of words too...but it doesn't work when people have generic titles. Half the meme communities are nothing but political slop despite (some of) their rules saying otherwise.

    If Lemmy implemented tags like red had, then we can start flagging stuff so people can filter it.
