  • You don't even need to fuck around with Debian chroot/proot. Termux also has an X11 repo. I run XFCE in it, works well. There's less programs available though, but Firefox is there.

  • Hmm, I haven't even noticed that display, just the top thing. What is that?

  • My only use case would be selling it.

  • The first digit is clearly a 2.

  • Maybe I can't get close enough to kill it, but the spider spray can.

  • I just use some browser called Element Inspector from Play Store, but it was last updated in 2023, and is closed source.

    The about app points to: https://linkbox.su/r/mixno35 which either returns 500 or 504 errors.

    Alternatively, you could try desktop Firefox under Termux, but that is probably not the most elegant solution. But it's a good solution for large background uploads it seems.

  • I did nothing. After using either the default 200MB or the 80MB I pay for it's supposed to be throttled, but that kinda just... doesn't happen. I activated a 2nd SIM of those yesterday, same thing. The most I used in a month was some 28GB (out of 80MB), getting me as much as 150Mbps in cities covered by LTE-A from Telekom (this SIM can connect to Telekom, Orange and O2).

    Though I just went back to my previous carrier and keep this as a backup. The second SIM I put into a USB modem. May come in handy if I finally decide to try Tailscale.

    Searching around, I found someone with the same "issue" for a different provider on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/ntul3w/unlimited_data_sim_for_only_45year/

    Also a one that was meant to have 64kbps unlimited, but it just... wasn't throttled. But based on one comment they fixed it later which I assume will happen here too. Almost 4 months so far though.

    But perhaps they just don't care that much. Based on ToS I can be charged extra €1.30/GB (excl. VAT) since I use permanent roaming, and perhaps I will as it is defined as >50% of usage in EU roaming for the past 4 months. Maybe they just rely on that to kick in...? Also the data warning states "...may be probably temporarily restricted.", which is just so oddly phrased.

    But most likely scenario, someone just fucked up the config.

    I found yet another such fuck up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/c6ilbp/bought_the_new_15gb_international_data_pass_didnt/

    Dude used up 24GB out of 15GB high-speed data pass.

    It can happen both ways though. My current carrier accidentally (I hope) set the limit to half the one stated in ToS. This was reversed already. I assume it was an accident, because they plainly stated the incorrect limit in SMS as well.

    The whole comment aside, just for those unaware, if you see someone with a tail in public, or just anywhere outside of sex-centered environment, it's almost surely a belt.

  • Being a night person is a superpower.

    You can work night shifts, get paid more, feel better than during the day, not miss business hours because you're working at the same time as everyone else, and enjoy the outside without people in better air and no eye pain from the sun.

  • I am just reading this on my laptop, sitting on a bed in shrimp-like shape with laptop (a ThinkPad of course) on top of egg carton (called Eggsbox 360 based on The Two Ronnies skit) which is on top of a pillow while listening to music from a CD being played on an e-waste sourced 5.25" DVD drive attached via SATA to USB that can only reliably load CDs (perhaps because the USB provided power is less than half max spec of 2A) and accessing the internet via USB cellular modem using cheap IoT SIM that has broken (not applied) throttling (instead of 64/32kbps).

  • I wish my parents seen this when I was younger. The image with the guy I mean.

    They didn't allow me to have a transparent umbrella because "that's for girls".

  • My every usage of assistant boiled down to just "What's this song?", so I just replaced it with Shazam.

    Gemini... having tried it, you will surely get an answer, perhaps based on random magic.

  • I'd extend that to around 25 - 30 for such bigger things since around that is when brain generally finishes developing..

  • I left Reddit after API protests, but that's not where I found it. I was just lurking around elsewhere. Then at one point on Twitter, SDF posted about running a Lemmy instance, so I tried joining it.

    Hence the username, I thought this was an SDF's thing so I used my SDF UNIX username, user224, instead of my regular lukmly013.

    user224 was also unintentional, since I intended to use lukmly013, but someone, a user name xiled, has verified my account for free giving me more access. And thus I had to keep the username, originally meant just for testing purposes.
    It would otherwise be just $1, but via PayPal which I am unable to use. I even got shadow-banned for cases when guest payments are allowed in my country. And I am not going to make an account for a barely functional service (PayPal).

  • Shower, bed, train, bus, I just hate changing states.

  • You can also run Bliss OS on x64 desktop. Works well on my 2-in-1 ThinkPad L390 Yoga. It also supports ARM emulation to run ARM apps.
    You can also rip out wireless stuff from many of those.
