Switched to Chrome a few years back when Firefox killed XUL and bundled too much bloatware.

Now I've switched back to Firefox because it's good again and Google is doing too many evil things lately (Web Integrity).

Absolutely! It's a really good movie.

I had my first migraine ever about 2 months ago

You're lucky as fuck. I had them all my life and I'm in my mid-thirties now.

When I watched "The Whale" at the movie theater. Half of the room was crying at the end.

Got you covered.

I think he means that the Fediverse is not discussed on Reddit anymore. But why would we actually care, it's amazing here regardless.

Found the game "Descent 3" randomly in a box of music CD's, all the way at the bottom. The CD's were all for sale, so I got it for five bucks.

I still have that box and the game is still awesome.

People talking about Windows 98 and Pentium 3 processors all day long, feels just like home.

Maybe they are balls of steel.

I have excellent Bluetooth headphones that last multiple days on a single charge. You would think that makes the headphone jack just not important anymore. But I live in a neighborhood with a very satured frequency band which is so bad sometimes that the thing I'm listening to cuts out every few seconds.

Every time this happens I am so happy that I can just plug in a cable and I'm making sure this option will be available to me in future devices. Wireless is not always great.

But in the end it doesn't even matter.

On feddit.de, lemmy.world is only temporarily defederated because of CSAM until a patch is merged into Lemmy that prevents images from being downloaded to your own instance.

So I'll just be patient and wait. It's understandable the admins don't want to get problems with law enforcement.

But the biggest question is: Will Oreo still sleep like a bum by then?

And as always, I hope you learned something.

When people run out of money to pay for a billion subscriptions, companies will have to think hard about their business model. I don't think the current trend can last forever.

Look at the fragmentation of streaming services. Piracy is on the rise again because of it.

Gaming consoles and all of the parts for fixing and modding them. Got an OG Xbox that crashed, so I bought new caps, then I needed a soldering iron, then I got an Xbox 360 so I needed a modchip and a flasher as well as a 4TB harddrive and then I got a FAT PS3 with broken SMD caps so I needed a preheater and a hot air station and then I needed to get all of these controllers which are worn out so I needed potentiometers, thumbsticks...

I do play my PS2, PS3, Xbox, 360, One etc. all the time (they don't just sit in my room to look pretty) but yeah, I 've probably sunk thousands of euros into maintaining them. 😅

I use the equipment to repair other things I get for free or very cheap, so it's not just a money sink...or at least that's how I rationalize my hobby. Repaired a Nikon camera with it...then I bought lenses...just another rabbithole!

True but it feels so good to type on these things! Got a NOS Hi-Tek with space invader keys a few weeks ago that blew me away and now I really need to resist seeing what else is out there.

Here I am

Rock you like a Murican
