Streaming has ultimately taught me how little I 'need' to watch since it trains you to really only seek out a couple things per service. I've also become very advertisment sensitive being blessed with tools to avoid that and companies honeymooning people for a while with fewer ads compared to what cable did.

Obviously, the dipshits are springing their 'trap' but I'm not bullish on the strategy of forcing consumers to suddenly tolerate a return of ads everywhere and always on entertainment. I just see folks running away again/further disconnecting from traditional media.

I'll stick with the Steam Deck for now.

Tis a silly place.

Eh, don't need YouTube that badly. I think we'll collectively figure out video distribution without em just fine.

I could very well be mistaken and please correct me if I am. I remember reading that canning a show before season 3 or so was a way of getting around union costs that kick in for a 'longer' running show. A very anti labor strategy designed to cash in quickly then drop it so Netflix wouldn't have to share the wealth.

An Axis is forming.

Butt, lol

True. Though they have been stuck with 30 years of damage simply reverse too.

Two cents on the headphone jack issue folks bring up all the time. The convenience of 3.5 mm is great and valid. Totally agree.

However, I use and own a lot of wired higher end headphones and a dongle DAC is just better audio quality than the 3.5mm jack. Let me explain.

3.5mm jacks means the phone's on board DAC is doing the work and outputting an analog stereo signal. You are stuck with whatever, typically sub-par, DAC is built into your phone. Yes, some phones have better DACs than others, but it is a challenge to sort out and is often not a priority for most manufacturers.

With type C dongle you can escape your phone's limitations and use dongles with audio features like fully balanced audio because the signal stays digital from your phone to the dongle. Personally, I'm a fan of 4.4 mm balanced connection, as most of my headphones will run balanced. This is something I could never do with 3.5mm alone.

DDHifi, XDUOO, ifi, etc makes some great 'audiophile' - dumb title but you know what I mean - DACs.

I often don't hear this side of the issue discussed.

That's so fucked up. Sorry, don't know how else to describe it.

Did Tupac's estate agree? Or receive compensation?

Good movie though. I enjoyed it quite a bit since feminism doesn't scare me. Grow up people.

With that said, fuck those prices, and fuck fake ownership.

Or, idk, regulators could like, do their jobs.

You said the living conditions changed and you're at your parents primarily? Maybe just too many changes and it's stressed him out. Reassurance and some new toys to chew might be worth it.

Thought you were going to launch into a family tragedy involving ping pong and beer. Carry on.

Guess your parents never read classics to you like: Everyone Poops. Or the wonderful sequel: Everyone Farts.

We're just people and socializing these potty hangups is pretty childish.

As I understand it, the $7.5k isn't any EV, but EVs that were assembled/built primarily in the US. Many weren't compliant with that legislation. Not out of spite or anything, but because manufacturing wasn't quite ready to comply. That led to a number of vehicles sitting ineligible for the 7.5k break. As well as consumer confusion over which ones could be discounted. Overall, a transitional growing pain for a crappy industry that relies on monthly sales.

Maybe canines? Idk

I just think it would be dope to drive under as a dramatic fight between an elk and wolves tumbled off the side onto my vehicle. Killing all of us instantly. What a way to go!

Possibly a Saudi gift? (Got dark, sorry)

Dead on.

I'm willing.

In that camp! 10 year old reddit account. Left before the change and haven't looked back. Like the vibe here too much.

If it imploded at depth, they literally wouldn't have time to feel it.

I don't know but it sounds fun. If Mike throws in a bounce house, I'm there!

Made me want to get back into Sons of the Forest. Now those are my people.

Agreed. Twas the only thing I thought while playing. This would be better with mods. Which is a sad state because I spent real money on a mod sandbox without the mods.

This judge and his court have been getting death threats since day one. He's a chill dude 😎. Respect

Man, wish everyone had been this fired up over Ukraine.

Sounds freaking sweet!

Cities Skylines 2 has been great for this. Just log in and tinker with your city! Very relaxing creative problem solving..

Very cool news! I'm looking forward to fairphone heading this way.

I just got a hangover from reading this. Been there, my condolences!

Grayjay has been really nice! Enjoying it so far.

That's a fun idea 💡

I like filen.io pretty good so far

Seriously, just drop it then. They need to clarify their role.

I don't know much, but Stremio does a fairly good job listing streaming services for anything searched

Or the wonky intertwinement is the peace mechanism? How much more bloody would the world have been without it?

Pop Pop boats are really simple steam engine systems.

Heck yeah, fella. Feels great
