But then I don’t get to justify my 3d printer purchase with custom enclosures with their jobs engraved on them
I have a math degree and still can’t do basic addition

The issue with the combination of rabbit holes I’m going down is all the damn pis Im gonna end up being lol
Portal and Portal 2 are my go to tests for if a machine qualifies as “an computer”. Basically, if it can run those, it’s probably good enough to be grandmas facebook machine. Might have to toss an ssd into it (exactly what I did with an old core2duo hp pavilion), but generally I find it to be a good rule of thumb.
Plus it gives me an excuse to play Portal when I test a machine :P
Surprised no one has said it, but Minecraft. I love it as much now as I did when I was 12. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it, especially if you start playing with mods. Then there’s servers such as Hypixel which for all intents and purposes are an entirely separate game in and of themselves.
I’m sure part of it is nostalgia, some of my fondest gaming memories were playing Minecraft with friends, but I still find it to be an excellent way to relax.
(Tangentially related, anyone else remember when waiting 3 months for 1.2.5 > 1.3 was an absurdly long update time for the game? Different times.)
StreetComplete is the one I use, although there’s a handful. It’s on both the play store and Fdroid
I’ve been loving it. Weirdly scratches the same itch Pokémon Go did for a while, plus it’s something actually useful.
I try to contribute as much info as I can to Open Street Map on my walks.
My friends base model kia soul from 2013 has less issues with gaps in the body and awful craftsmanship with regards to interior trim than the two model 3s that are in my family. The same has been true for quite literally every car I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned real pieces of shit. It’s also been in the shop less despite having been around an extra 7 years.
Anyone buying a Tesla at this point either knows they’re buying a shit car purely for the status symbol, or they’re a rube. Fools and their money and all that
Isn’t that due to stricter data collection/retention regulations in the EU?
There’s actually a fairly large sweet spot where the sub makes a lot of sense (ignoring the fact that subscriptions inherently suck, of course). If you print infrequently enough that your cartridges are likely to dry out, it’s generally quite a bit cheaper.
Of course the correct answer for most people is to just buy a laser printer and go to CVS or something the couple timed you need photo quality prints. Don’t have to worry about toner drying out
IIRC even ice is technically a mineral
I mean, yeah. They absolutely don’t want to be spending bandwidth on those of us who use adblockers. What I don’t think a lot of people realize is that Google is perfectly happy with the people who are essentially never served an ad not using the service anymore. Saves them money.
This is the answer. The handful of people I still wanted to follow on Twitter all have sportsbots accounts mirroring them on Mastodon.
Hills are the main reason I’d love an ebike. I bike pretty regularly, but I’m simply not capable of going 20+ up a big hill. I live in a ridiculously hilly area, trying to ride on the roads as is would be borderline suicidal
If directly funding homophobic policies isn’t a good enough reason for you, you need to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself why that is
That’d be a great comparison if AI weren’t able to absorb and retain many, many orders of magnitude more information than humans can
They outright said in their own press release it’s primarily to increase ad visibility by breaking ad blockers.
There’s no scenario where this makes the web better
Damn bro you’re right, I’ll just stop being autistic. I’m cured!
I know it’s kinda cheating to bring them up in this context, but the Swiss manage to run trains to very small towns just fine
