My old person trait is that I think I should be able to have anything I purchased repaired/serviced by whomever I wish, with whatever parts they deem acceptable.

That's why I'm here 😁

If there is one organisation that should know not to fight the internet, it is IA.

That code is here (or there,or over there) to stay.

Why? Would you want to return? I'm just happy to be here, and it can only get better.

Many of the younger generations seem to accept that things don't last/break easily. I come from a time where there was a wiring diagram for the TV pasted on the inside back cover. Washing machines and other devices often had the schematics included. Repairing your stuff and keeping it running was the norm back then. Even if you couldn't, you probably had a neighbour who could. Planned obsolescence is a relatively new thing.

Well, I hope to become a regular - I'm currently in the middle of editing all my Reddit comments with PowerDeleteSuite. Once complete, my account will be deleted.

Edit: Well, the deed is done, I no longer have a Reddit account.

Also, Fuck u/spez.

Typewriters were/are monospaced, so putting a double space after the full-stop helped you recognise the start of a new sentence, giving it, and you, breathing space.

The PC fonts are size adjusted and double space is no longer necessary, but it doesn't hurt.

So, win-win?

A snowball has a better chance of surviving in hell than me joining anything Meta.

It'll be a cold day in hell that I go back there. If you look in a dictionary under the word 'Evil', there is a picture of spez.

I don't see it as theft if he paid them - albeit after the fact.

Hit the tick mark, top left right of the screen.

Strike through doesn't work for me. Notyou corrected me.

This is my first toe-in-the-water experience of the Fediverse. To be honest, I'm still trying to understand exactly how it all works, but I'm enjoying myself so far.

What would really make my day would be a RIF -type app, as someone on the road a lot, and only able to view on mobile.

The ability to copy the URL of a video so I can paste it to NewPipe - or a setting where I can choose to use YouTube or NewPipe all red the time.

Where it was kept was terrifying . . .

undefined> i can safely say that once that comes out, it’ll be the best one out there.

No pressure, lol

Yes, of course it is! Why I said left I'll never know. Thanks for pointing it out.

Good bot

Our fridge is plumbed in. Constant cold water and ice/crushed ice FTW.

Climate change has always been a thing. The planet has been going thru hot/cold cycles for millions of years.

There is no purpose for any life on earth. The planet survived just fine before life started, it will survive just fine when life is gone. (or until Sol goes super-nova, or whatever it's called when it expands and engulfs all the planets).
