And it's fucking superglued in. You have to use a heat gun to even have a chance of removing it, and Valve have acknowledged they may change it in the future as right now it is admittedly ridiculous.

So yes but technically no. It is not immediately user serviceable.

I have a few. And I'm not even that old (mid thirties)

• People who talk on phone calls using airpods or similar look ridiculous in public, like they're utter lunatics talking to themselves or their imaginary friend.

• people who view life through their mobile phones are unfortunate and sad. Like...why pay money to go see a gig if you're going to view it through your phone screen? I went to a wedding last week and I was one of the very few who was actually watching the procession with my own eyes rather through a camera app.

• Not being on social media should be an accepted norm, not a fucking exception. This is an issue when dating, unbelievably.

Um, what?

Elon Musk owns x.com, he launched it over twenty years ago. It split into what became PayPal, and then he bought it back.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.com

"X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in 1999 in Palo Alto, California."

He bought the domain rights back in 2017.

Literally less than a minute on Google to find that, dude.

It was 38°c the last time I went to Pisa (five years ago now, fuck) and that was utterly miserable at times. Can't even begin to imagine 10°c on top of that.

Not on my 65" 8k OLED they aren't! You can absolutely tell the difference.

Smaller/low res screens though, sure.

Seriously thought for a second there when scrolling that lemmy had added ads

It was a horrible feeling man

To be fair, the Tim Burton film was far closer to the original novel. And that's what I grew up with, so the 70s gene wilder version (that Dahl hated) never gelled with me.

Thomas the Tank Engine on SNES. Me and my mates used to find it hilarious when high. Still do.

"The name's Bond, James Bond". Because of that quote, I have never failed to remember James Bond's name.

What? That's pretty insulting, really - your statement could be applied to any age. Generalisation isn't cool.

How many 70 year olds do you know? Because the ones I know are either still in work or fully active. Retirement age here in the UK is 67, are you saying those in full time work should be treated like children? My mum and dad are in that age group and Dad's set up his own Plex server for christ's sake.

The people I know who have the worst issues with social media and shit like that are half the age, and the less said about my daughter's age group and their tiktok addiction the better.

Nah, they've changed since the old days. Look at how much is released completely uncensored on the Switch compared to PlayStation - Sony's rules are significantly stricter.

When it comes to emulation and game preservation though....ha, no - Nintendo have stayed just as bad and clueless as ever

It's funny, we basically have magic now

I can talk to anyone, miles away instantly, anywhere on earth. It's mental. But it's totally normal for us to make phone calls.

Fucking terrible.

I met Jeremy Clarkson - he was alright, very pleasant and funny

Supermarket mince is fucking shite now. So is supermarket chicken. And sausages. And pretty much everything else. In the past ten years it's absolutely shocking just how far standards have fallen and no one seems to give a shit.

Do what I do, go to a local butcher. Equivalent price now, and you can order exactly the amount you need. And it's significantly better quality too.

I'm lucky that I live a five minute walk from a street with a grocers, fishmonger, bakery, butchers and an independent world food shop. I can get precisely the ingredients I need, no wastage, and, know they're fantastic quality and not pay a penny more than I need to.

Forced to with work.

I utterly hate it. I don't have it on my personal setup or android mobile - been using Firefox for twenty years now, not gonna stop!

Roger Waters needs to calm the fuck down

Cuuuuunts. I passed my driving test 16 years ago now, and even in that time I've noticed a huge increase of the amount of cars on the road. These schemes are essential, or at the very least needed as a starting point

I walk, a lot. Everywhere. Always have done.

It keeps me nice and slim, and is my way of dealing with stress and any thoughts I may have swishing around in my head. I live in an area that allows me to walk anywhere I want (ie. not America) and I don't need a car at all, luckily.

And I do push it a bit. I walked 36km which is around 21 miles on Sunday, and 32km on Saturday. My legs were starting to hurt like hell nearing the end of it but I always keep going. It feels good to push past what I thought was my limit and keep going. I don't think there's any real conscious thought behind it, it's just how I am. And as I'm in the office today, I'll be walking there and back too (5 miles each way), no bother at all.

Running and weight lifting though? Not my thing. Too much rushing around for the former and not enough moving around for the latter!

Edit: realised my conversion to miles is off. It's early. Turns out according to Google maps I walked 21 miles Sunday...! Took just under 5 hours. And I did get a bit sunburnt, but otherwise fine as usual

Not entirely software, but the MiSTer FPGA project. Having accurate zero-lag hardware accurate versions of almost every console, many arcade games, PCs (Amiga, Commodore etc), and handheld up to and including the PlayStation in a box the size of a game boy is unreal.

Majority of the project is open source, and has been used for ports to the analogue pocket handheld, which I also have and use often
