Remember when you didn't even need to log into anything? I genuinely want the internet to go back to that

Same for Isaac Hayes (Chef), though less murdered and more natural causes.

Is the last word supposed to be in jest? Like a "no regerts" tattoo?

Can't even customize a lot of things anymore. You like pure black as in #000000. Google says fuck you. You want to know what time it is to the second. Google says fuck you. Want to control your notification LED. Google says fuck you. Want to prevent apps from being purged from the memory. Google says fuck you. I genuinely hope something else comes along soon. And no I don't want Apple, they're even worse than Google.

You forgot the red circles around the ears.

As much as I hate ai/llm's, here we're conflating new technologies with bad practices. This is a fallacy.

However much we hate llm's they definitely aren't going away anytime soon. You can't make laws or policies to make ideas/technologies go away.

Ok this doing my head in a bit.

Meal is short for mealtide, not used in English anymore but is in other Germanic languages. And etymologists seem to be uncertain if the meal part relates to time or milling. But that seems weird to me because then mealtide would literally mean something like times-time.

Edit: the two definitions of meal seem to stem from the same word. Hitting/striking wheat is done in times.

I'll use Dutch to clarify since English doesn't have the time definition anymore.

Ik sla het tarwe niet één maal, niet twee maal maar vijftien maal. I hit the wheat not once, not twice but fifteen times.

Na het enkele malen te slaan konden we het malen in de molen. After hitting it a few times we could mill it in the mill.

En toen hadden we meel. And then we had meal.

I hope that somewhat makes it clear.

That's very clearly a hen and not a cock. Could've used a better picture of Uranus too. Idea 10/10 execution 7/10

This is so stupid that even I understand it.

Lemmy is pretty much the same thing as reddit for regular people. I think the thing you're stumbling over is that Lemmy only has around 50k active daily users. Reddit has about a 100 million. That's a 2000 fold difference. Every post on Lemmy gets 2000 times less attention in other words.

Another reason to hate google. This feature got taken away for legal reasons in many regions. The Google dialer app is absolute trash now after the last big update.

I'm sorry to be the asshole here but ... She hasn't been on the charts for nearly 10 years... She probably amassed more wealth than most of us will in a lifetime. If she's unable to work a regular job now to keep up the lifestyle and has to sell feet pics... Sorry but boohoo

It always applies. But they always have some leeway in the shows. Sometimes they're more relaxed and sometimes they're more strict. Depends on how far along they are compared to the federation, civilization wise.

This annoys me to no end. My phone has more RAM than my previous pc and yet android keeps purging everything from the memory. No matter what settings you tinker with, it keeps doing it. My Lenovo P2 from 2016 "only" had 4gbs of RAM and would keep dozens of apps open and would only purge the memory with a cold boot. I hate what android has become and that it's basically the only other real choice besides apple phones.

It's not a rock. It's a bottle of Bols ballerina which has a music box inside. https://www.chezpluie.com/cdn/shop/products/DSC_2276_8e48809a-187c-42ec-b9c5-84dcc1d511bf_800x.jpg It's probably been there a while. From what I can find the product has been discontinued since 1978.

Travelling has changed a lot.

It's become way more accessible. Not a lot of people used to travel for leisure. But now it seems almost everyone except the poorest do it. There are a lot more businesses that cater to tourists in every city/town nowadays.

Smartphones have taken a lot of fun out of it too though. There's almost no challenge to it anymore and thus less a sense of adventure. At least for me.

Meanwhile my company keeps using NUCs to control 9 live video feeds per NUC. And when they inevitably keep crashing because of thermal throttling/dust build up after around a year, they just replace them.
