"we're children! we're children! we're children!"

Sometime last year I felt some lumps in my scrotum. worried it could be a sign of balls cancer, I went and had them checked. I have probably better health insurance than most people i know. Cost about the same. Outrageous. but hey, turns out i don't have balls cancer so i guess it could be worse.

"But that's all just Portland voters! All the rest us of didn't want that!" - My idiot father. Yeah dude, Portland is most of us. Your vote isn't worth more just because you live around less people.

Let's say I got myself one of those arm-based single board computers that can run android. Is there not a way to install Android TV instead of "regular" android? i assume you're saying it's not because it requires GMS cert or something.

Nah fuck that. Sites need to adopt this passkeys instead. It’s an impossible task for people to have unique credentials for every site, even if they are “memorable”. This is a design issue not a personal responsibility one. When designing for large volumes of people, you have to assume that the majority will do something easy and stupid over difficult and smart.

Remember that Kevin Costner movie “swing vote” where he was courted by the two presidential candidates because he was somehow the deciding vote in an election? I don’t remember how they rigged it that way in the story, or what the outcome was, but the premise of one guy being a deciding vote always stuck with me because it can happen in every election; we just don’t know who that guy is because it’s everyone

that time he sent you a fucking pig carcass is so fucking deranged

I’m watching them now! Get off my back about it!

Big aeropress fan. Where’s the Linux equivalent of that?

All I’m getting from this is that arch is easier than I expected and will give me a much better end result than the distros I’m used to.

i was wondering about this! very dumb.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I’m not sure how this is in any way different from android? Android is free software they use to restrict the computing they devices they sell to push more ads and junkware. This is just a different one. Amazon sucks, so I don’t see what move they could make that could be seen as positive. Just don’t buy their garbage devices.

Ah, right. Oregon. Known for our high cost of living…

Oh! I always thought that password was short for “Sam Fankman-Bried”

Hyperkin’s products, especially the retron line, are generally considered sub-par for this reason. They’re usually just android-based systems that run emulation from a rom they dump from the cart at runtime. Since they’re low-spec and emulation focused without some of the refinements that come to those emulators over time, they have glitches on some games.

Nice dude, I’ve got the first gen DCDigital and don’t think I’ll be upgrading because it’s good enough for me and I think I’ll use an external scaler instead with it and other devices.

I’ve spent way too much on my Dreamcast. It’s got a MODE, DCdigital, and now this VM2. It’s an awesome system, I love it! I only wish there were more minigames for the VMU that had more features. I’m sure it’s hard to do with only 128kb though so I get it.

There’s some awesome mods to restore headphone jacks in the SP, but I myself prefer the original GBA form factor anyway.

Actually, my preferred ways to play GBA are in the following order of preference:

• Analogue Pocket
• GameCube GameBoy Player (with a SNES controller using an adapter I intended to link but the Etsy shop appears to be gone now)
• MiSTer GBA core
• OG GBA with a screen mod

Maybe they should’ve thought about that before they integrated people’s content without consent????
