in this economy?????

i have been an Android user through and through. Don't want to give an enny to the giant oligopoly spearhead if i can help it...

Anyways, my colleague had bought an iPhone 6 an year after it was released. I remember to this day vividly, we were in the elevator, we were talking about it. He took it out, I held his iPhone 6 in my hand, and it was the most surreal experience I have had with technology up until that point.

It just felt Unbelievable, Unreal, to see a phone so lightweight, so thin, so compact, and not be a toy/downscaled dummy unit. Even the curved sides, which were aesthetically unappealing at first in photos, just clicked when I actually held the phone in my own hand.

It's been almost a decade, and still I feel like I have never seen a smartphone that had such a perfect in hand feeling.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't buy it because Android just had too much going for it and for my preference and use case, iOS never was going to be a consideration. But for a fleeting moment, I really envied my colleague for having one of the best feeling smartphones at the time.

We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the World's been turning

Chromostereopsis. Pretty cool. Actually works on print too but very easy to observe on displays.

YYYY.MM.DD_HH24MI.SS

e.g.

2025.09.02_1830.33

you know EXACTLY when the timestamp is referring to.

remove the time part you still got a pretty clean date 2025.09.02 which is also computer sort friendly.

the only missing component is the Timezone which I find pretty stupid TBH, because as a big Space Sci-fi fan, there needs to be a universal timecode system which is universal in the literal sense. Well technically it can never be, relativity and all, but you get what I mean..

also while we are at it, we should start teaching kids 12 digit number system, so that we get rid of the pesky decimal with a more efficient duodecimal.

Oooh, and make year 13 months with each month exactly 28 days, and the fractional remainder at the end of solar cycle is just a blackout timescape that nobody acknowledges collectively throughout the world.

To be fair there's a stranger, possibly judgemental, with a camera photographing him. Atleast the Virtual Beach has tranquility, relatively speaking.

it is OBJECTIVELY linux mint. Why? Because.

this comment was written on June 2025. So as of this day Mint is fabulous. And if I were to save a single distro from a burning building of all the popular distros, i would grab mint twice.

I know I know, there are many good distros, even texhnically better ones. But having used Mint as a secondary dual boot to my primary Windows, I have felt that Mint has been least annoying and actually worth retaining and updating and maintaining.

Holy shit I am not able recall anymore decent games I have enjoyed on mobile! 😂

Well definitely ports of old games from other platforms, like Professor Layton and Ace Attorney series.

I mean the bitter truth is, mobile games nowadays are completely plagued with the same cancer of trying to sell you stuff inside the game. Virtually every "worthwhile" game on mobile has become a flea market in on itself. So even the decent games a chore to get through to the actual meaty part. I used to enjoy PUBGmobile and CODmobile with my friends but even that I stopped playing because it was just rinse and repeat live service model of trudging through gutter waste. It became just an obligation to my friends rather than anything I would enjoy so I quit.

Problem is that nobody takes mobile as a serious platform for gaming. And somewhat sad reality is that the huge user base you see in mobile space, especially Android, is coming from people who are not going to spend a single penny on anything software.

Ruin it and make yourself miserable by implementing AI into this...

Kidding aside, this is hilarious and useful at the same time! Thank you for doing something creative that does suck ass immediately

Women are not women and are not women or are not women... Got stuck in the loop

This is pure gold.

If i wasn't ass-taste in my literation, i would write praise for this soul poetry. But alas, only thing i can say is pure gold.

Okay, as funny as it is, I don't think the people who are complaining are the ones who are actually purchasing. I am pretty sure that the people who are the majority spenders are not even aware of the hatred on the internet for microtransactions, or even if they are aware, they do not see it as worthwhile concern.

It is easy to get lost in the noise, as many things on internet, everything becomes an echo chamber. But in reality there are a lot of people who thinks it is justified. That somebody is asking for money to deliver a product or a service and they don't care how the equation of "what is worth what " is derived.

For them, its just inflation or expense to cover the cost (basically they take publishers counterpoint at face value, can't blame them honestly), and since it has become the norm, they have given up on taking a moral stance om this and following through

thank mr skeltal

Even before The Boys, I saw Karl in Almost Human. In pilot episode it was clear what a treat Karl is to watch act. Was very disappointed to find out the show got canned just after first season

My apologies, indeed ham. Thanks.

I have bought a "starter" cartridge inkjet, a "premium“ AIO inkjet, and (supposedly) one-of-the-better-ones monochrome laserjet. All of them gave me nothing but grief. I used to think this was an accepted loss with the entire printing landscape, that it's a problem of the domain itself.

Turns out it was because I had always bought HP.

The last final printer I bought is a Brother inktank. It is not without its quirks, granted, yet I have never felt so easy.

God knows how much of a grief stricken, pain inducing, blood boiling, poisoned my life was– because HP. Once I switched to a different vendor, a burden of sorts was lifted.

i have had a total of 5-6 products in my lifetime from HP, and I'm pretty sure each one has easily taken out years from my life expectancy.

absolutely. sometimes things as simple as a one-to-one DM or email requires me to actually start writing first, to get my thoughts "on paper" first, in order to actually see through the word salad that my thought soup cooked up, and then sorting through the mess to get a coherent sentence or two in the final version that i actually send.
