That article is so garbage. Words missing, no real details, all the links are spam.

Also debit cards don't earn cash back or points. I visit my cousins on airline points. Monitor your cards and make sure you don't exceed your budget, same as a debit card.

I don't understand the mindset of people who tolerate ads. No way I'm ever hooking up a smart tv to my network!

Each class would get its own codex and they would always be released staggered and late 😂

Yes, but where the carbon comes from does matter. Burning fossil fuels is bad because it reintroduces previously sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere. If we can shorten the carbon cycle and simultaneously reduce the total amount of free carbon in the atmosphere, it's still a net positive, even though we would still be burning hydrocarbons.

Of course the less we burn, the better, and I'm sure the water resources used to make the "renewable" fuel are just as problematic and wasteful.

Mega Man fans are the best, and Capcom treats them worse than Sega treats Sonic fans.

Good points, makes me think of how good lightweight RSS readers were at accomplishing the same kinds of content aggregation goals, and worked well even over 56k modems.

Aww this makes me sad, my camera literally bricked itself halfway through the tour and corrupted the SD card in the process. My cell phone camera was really crappy at the time, and all my surviving photos turned out really bad. I hope my wife and I get back to NZ one day to recreate the photos!

If someone wants to host something, NAT won't stop them. IMO the bigger problem is that most folks have neither time, skill, nor interest to make p2p a reality. I'm a pretty savvy admin, host a lot of services for myself and family, but I don't pretend to be good enough or vigilant enough to run anything public, i.e. mail server, lemmy server, etc, without major security concerns.

I used to read 2-3 books a week, but between work, kids, keeping my house in order, I have so few contiguous time blocks for leisure reading that I'm lucky if I finish a book in a month or two. I do read a TON of books with my kids while putting them to bed, I just don't count those for myself.

Futurama also had a line about how steroid use used to be mandatory in Blernsball.

I do like Connect, I just hope they add some QOL features RIF had like thread collapsing, being able to change default download folders, link preview, probably other things I'll think about later. Great start, though!

Why no base10 clock?

Ahh yes, the ol' finger toaster. Great in the winter, terrible in the summer.

Streets of Sim City has a rockin' soundtrack!

No need to go that far back, basic ECU fuel injectors + o2 sensors work perfectly fine without telemetry and are WAY more reliable than carburetors.

Knoppix in 2006, arch today.

Still waiting for my skull gun.

Chi Chan is not a great significant other...

Back on n64, messing up the first wall ride transition in Warehouse, I was always torn between restarting and listening to Goldfinger.

Think about how many bullets those old pipes can be turned into! This project would practically pay for itself with the cost of ammunition these days.

Get yer' fill!

$3 million / minute

Plus it got bundled with Jungle Pinball.

PBS shows are free on its own app/website though...

Well, except when cows are infecting the lettuce too: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/08/16/ecoli-strain-repexh02/

WERNSTROM!

Or aluminum cans! Those are very recyclable as well.

I've bought more 40k after owning a resin printer than before I did. Love my flgs.

My favorite kind is where you just get a scanner when you walk into the store. Scan stuff when you put it in your bag, scan the scanner at the end, pay and leave. No futzing about moving stuff from cart to bags or anything like that, and it's way more convenient to use my own bags because I'm loading them as I go, instead of being rushed at the very end.

That's basically Lemmy though? Unfortunately, expecting non-technical people to host their own content and moderate their own experiences is too much work and not worth it or viable for most users. Reddit made it easy, and its user base was still tiny compared to the bigger social media platforms.

It's how I've met my firmest friends.
