Does it not have an aux port?

This, to me, was the most noteworthy part of the whole event! One of them has to be at least a little two faced and not believe what they "stand for". Boebert has a reputation that is just irreconcilable with Democrat values. I'm all for getting along but this is such an extreme belief difference, how is it not an issue!

Well, I jumped in and got one. Ever since I entered a serious relationship I've missed out on a lot of titles, so having the option to play sitting next to my wife without taking up the TV will be huge. Here's hoping it works exactly as I plan

My Zoomer sister-in-law told me about it. It's an app that will randomly prompt everyone to take a picture using both the front and back cameras and you have a limited amount of time to do it. The idea being that because it's random you can't really prepare anything beforehand so the content is more "real" and everyone can see what they all do day to day

I'm a fan of the reality part but not so much a fan of allowing your life to be timed by a social media company

I did something similar with Beehaw, but found that Lemmy was making my Nas so much louder because of all the data it was writing to disk. So I decided to join programming.dev instead. Some day I want to host my own again but it's on hold for now

Here you go

The Future of Online Communities

Communities are the lifeblood of the Internet. They are the places where magic happens online — where people meet others like themselves, think and talk about the same things, and laugh at the same jokes. From newsgroups and chatrooms and forums, communities have always been the centers of the Internet that draw people in.

But online communities are much more limited than their counterparts in the real world. In the real world, communities are independent entities, free to choose where and how they hang out. No one tells them what to do or where to go.

Today's online communities are not like this. They are trapped inside apps and platforms, where they do not have independence or control anything of value. This limitation makes them second-class citizens, unable to chart their own destiny on the Internet. It is time to put communities in their rightful place as the foundation of the Internet.

It is time for them to take back ownership and control. It is time for a change.

Community Points

Community Points are the first step towards a better future for online communities. In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit, communities need to be owned by their members in ways that platforms cannot take away. With the advent of blockchain technology, we now have a way to establish this freedom in a decentralized and secure way.

As blockchain tokens that are owned and controlled by communities themselves — not by any app or platform — Community Points represent a way for Redditors to own a piece of their favorite communities. They are earned by making contributions to the community, like creating content and moderating. They not only represent ownership and reputation within the community, but can also be used for community governance, moderation, and unlocking premium features. They can even be used in custom tools outside of Reddit and on other platforms.

Most importantly, Community Points are a flexible tool that each community can shape to its needs. Each community has its own Points that it can customize with its own name, symbol, distribution rules, and uses. Every community has its own needs and we expect each to use Points differently and in novel ways that help take them to the next level.

No no certainly not, but I've never pulled so hard on a headset that any damage was ever done to my headset

I suppose if you're living such a rock and roll lifestyle wireless may be best

I thought this was wxtending the "stilts so you don't get run over by a Ford F-150" meme

The cable will generally be longer out of the box, and will be less likely to come unplugged if you accidentally pull it

Unusable, maybe, but a couple years down the line the battery life is going to suffer

I'm learning so much from this thread and I don't even use Java

To be fair they could create a server and just not Federate with anyone? Or federate selectively?

I think definitely in downtown areas with a large night culture, but to a much lesser extent. The entire city center isn't expensive, just the "hip" areas where the money is being spent. There are tons of poorer areas inside city limits that definitely have a lower cost of living compared to owning a house and a car

One potential reason posited by The 1619 Project is due to white Americans moving out of metro areas after WW2 in order to "escape" black residents. Then, they restricted expansion of public transportation development to those areas because making them more accessible and usable would potentially result in a influx of poorer, black residents who can't afford a car to commute to the suburbs.

The specific example they used is Atlanta, which has staunch racial lines, horrible public transport, and some of the worst traffic in America. They make a very compelling case.

Here is the relevant New York Times article about it and it's Chapter 16 in the actual book

I stopped shopping at Amazon years ago because of these brands. Shopping on there is too difficult to ensure you're getting a high quality product from a reputable company, there are too many fake companies with cheap knockoffs.

And don't even get me started on the reviews system and how fundamentally broken it is

People you don't need to shop at Amazon for everything. It's better for your wallet if you just give up the site and shop direct from the companies whenever possible

I was about to complain about how my rubber bands in the US came in a non-resealable bag when it dawned on me that the bag itself contains hundreds of bands capable of sealing the bag

I also love that they used the generous term of square instead of blobl
