Still weird to me that 3/5 is accepted as bad. It's middle of the score; it's average. I have plenty of 3 star movies I watched and I like it just fine.

But yes mostly nowadays I just watch with the right cat's eyes lol

If android is truly getting locked down, I'll just get the cheapest smartphone I can get because everything here in my country needs their own smartphone app for their own 2FA and they all want Play Integrity. It's getting really annoying to bypass all these asinine roadblocks on my fucking phone.

Banks and online shopping apps can get bent policing my phone.

And I'll just carry a small Linux laptop to do all my other internet and computing needs. Shit's fucked up. And carry a Faraday bag just for the phone.

When the cybertruck was first announced, I actually appreciated how different it looked

Yeah, same here. I usually like weird looking forms for ordinary objects. The cybertruck counts.

Even disregarding the emotional association to Musk, which is nigh impossible, the engineering of the car makes it suck to hell, because that's all Musk's decision he forced.

I'll give it a read over tea later. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Been wanting a reto handheld for quote some time ever since the miyoo mini v1 days years ago. Never have bought one before. Idk if I want a big capable versatile machine or small easy to pocket little doodad.

I used to have a GBA as a kid and a NSDL as a college kid.

Dunno where I'm going with this comment, I'm just rambling now lol

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. I've read that somewhere about the Steam controller. I'm not in a rush to buy a new controller, as mine is still working and the availability still sucks here.

It seems to be rolling out region by region I reckon. I'm in the south east Asia and I don't get asked to log in yet.

clicking through that link, it obviously blocks my zen browser, and recommends google's chrome, chromium, ms edge and opera.

this seems like a massive L still. hopefully it's not hard-coded to require those 4 only, and a stripped down chromium browser can be used. I don't have a race in this horse yet, becauseI did consider 8bitdo controllers once my gamesir controller dies. maybe I'll just have to save up for a steam controller, even though Valve still doesn't ship to my country, and I refuse to buy from scalpers. even legit businesses here are scalping hard... fucking scalpers.

my first draft comment to you was a bit hopeful that maybe stripped down chromium browsers can replace your singular use windows VM. I apologize for assuming

hardcore datahoarders are something else. And a boon when they share it

catbox.moe works too. Although files uploaded anonymously that have not had a download/hit in over 2 years will be removed from Catbox.. which is weird that was not the default since the beginning considering they're not like other image hosting sites size and funding.

Cute.

I assume the hedgehog have been around people in the area enough to "domesticate" itself, since, another assumption, the humans around it are decent people that cares for random creatures.

I imagine authors will go to great lengths to prove their works to be authentically human

artists (the drawing kind) have been posting timelapse of them drawing art for quite some time. It has since increased when AI sloperators flooded the field. But now I've heard some aren't even going to post them anymore, since the sloperators are training on those to make fake timelapse.

people are willing/able to be open and empathetic

personally, I've been bitten too many times being open to random people and getting vitriol back. Well that may be because at the height of my online activities were in reddit, just at the right moment when it started gaining mass traction and getting all sorts of assholes.

being here in lemmy/piefed (can we settle on calling it threadiverse yet?) is of course a nice breath of fresh air.

hydro homie is not ruined yet, as far as I'm aware.

I've seen some people modified the spoon tool on the minichamp (if I'm not mistaken) with a "chisel" tip. so it is a bit sharper to wedge into even tighter seams

Nooo, don't humanize Syuen, Shift Up! I need to keep hating her!

No front buttons and no USB port though. They use the same pogo pin thingo like the X3

Understandably the buzz is around the pro, but I'm waiting to hear more on the x4 v2

Yep, I have encountered mastodon and the like posts here on Lemmy etc. Somehow a lot of them show up in ![email protected]

Well actually being in fedia.io it would makes sense, since fedia being mbin supports threaded posts and microblog posts.

I recently found Lance Hendrick and been going through some of his older videos slowly. And sometimes watching new videos. I like how his newer guides also teach me the why with the how. I don't remember which video it was, but he wanted to make gu8de videos where he tries not to make "gospel"

Not saying that James didn't also do that, but finding more perspective really ignited my love for the coffee hobby, and I don't get too much FOMO for new gear.

Although I really do want a hario switch now after years with my aeropress. just to learn about pourovers now.

I do that as well, except I don't hit send and delete it. Sometimes I just need something let out and doesn't need it to be out in the public

Sometimes typing it out makes it sound way more stupid than I initially thought so why bother
