@jarkman @solderandchaos are there more legs or wheels in the world?
How many doors will you pass through today?
How much is happiness?
@james I’m using a rented OVH server and they’re fine. Located in France, and has been solid the last few years since I got it.
@Edent what content are you requesting from the internet that was last modified before the internet was invented?
@pikesley somewhat depends on the rest of the attack. When I attach an image to a post here I’m writing files to the server, and that’s everything working as intended.
@herdingdata 4 bars of signal being routed through a cell which is using DSL over wet string as its uplink.
David Graeber explained how in our system, the poor are always expected to pay their Debts and those in Debt are made to feel as if they did something wrong - almost like they committed a crime.
But of course, corporations are never expected to pay their Debts.
@an0key it’s ok, this will be fixed by banning the Flipper Zero rather than asking the manufacturers to do anything at all.
@Edent I mean my plan was to sit and play games today but if I must. [Enrolls in seminary]
Bought a book to learn electronics and the first tutorial is literally "lick a battery"???
@anon_opin really missed a trick there by not claiming it’s an artifact of robots being sent back in time to erase the creation of those films.
Nerd sniped a Discord full of lifelong gamers by mentioning my 70 year old Dad has decided it’s time to give these new fangled video games a try. Other than Forza Horizon I have no idea where to start. Requirements are that it’s on Game Pass or Apple Arcade, because I’m not stumping up for a whole console so he can decide he doesn’t like it a week later.
@gsuberland sorry to hear it. Arthritis runs in my family so I’m currently making the most of things until it catches up with me.
@gsuberland I can recommend climbing. Always failed with traditional gyms which I’d get bored off fast, but climbing comes with a levelling mechanic and frequent DLC as they re-route the walls.
Ugh. The internet is dying under the weight of SEO/ad slot optimised content. I just read what felt like about 3,000 words on how to clean climbing shoes which came down to “use warm water soap, don’t machine wash”.
Ok I got it working on the iPhone too! It’s … hilarious. #LetterSet #PencilKit
@internetsdairy pretty sure that’s about how long it would take to watch every episode of every incarnation of the show.
@internetsdairy it’s alright. Sci-fi that mostly doesn’t take itself too seriously, good easy viewing.
My taxi driver on the proliferation of flags along the route home “oh, I think they’re just trying to send a message to the government”. I don’t think he was ready for me spending the rest of the journey shooting down his straw man arguments. “You can’t call that many people racists”. Just fucking watch me buddy.
What is the phenomenon that causes all TV shows to eventually make a fake documentary set in the world of their TV show? Is it that script writers have a burning desire to tell the story of how hard it is making TV?
@an0key sadly I don’t even slightly trust Google to redirect that money to the people who’s ads are being skipped rather than this week’s messaging app.
@an0key in summary, automated ad skipping is good but a model that doesn’t depend on the whims of multinational corporation’s marketing departments would be even better.
@an0key I’m split on how I feel about that. From my perspective it’s great, I skip the ads with minimal effort, but I’m also aware those ad reads are in many cases the difference between making money on a video or not, and if the companies buying them see the audience they want to hit are skipping them the whole house of cards collapses.
