These laws are not made to protect kids, but to amass power over the people.

Yeahhhh Doom! Awesome that you picked it for the 666th screenshot!

I hope you’ll be playing Doom for the next one :D

The Vita is a perfected PSP that can also emulate it.

Funny how websites can read the gyroscope. It can also be used as a microphone. https://crypto.stanford.edu/gyrophone/

My friend and I are forever tainted by that exact memory.

Film production and development. Yesterday I dropped off a couple rolls of 120 film shot on a 60 year old camera at a lab to develop and print it for me.

All those photos are taken from Earth, and its atmospheric conditions filter the color of the light reflected off the Moon.

Good. I wish regular people moved to Signal so I could uninstall that god forsaken app.

I still don’t get why the US is blocking the strait.

It can fail 100 times and it won’t count, and the one time this surveillance legislation passes it will become law. Thanks EU, nice show of democracy.

Last year I bought 20 old iPod gen 5s marked as trash on eBay and kitbashed together 12 of them in perfect working condition. Slapped a new battery in 11 of them and sold them for a nice profit. I saved one for myself which I then modded with a large battery, a little 256GB M.2 SSD, replaced the tweeter with a taptic engine from an old iPhone, and installed Rockbox on it. Now it’s connecting to my PC like a flash disk and I can copy-paste music to it without syncing with iTunes, and it supports FLAC. It changed my relationship with music, and it’s a purpose-made device that takes no calls and has no interruptions. Unlike my phone, which I can pick up to change a song and check a notification, then dwelve into doomscrolling on IG.

I also bought a fully mechanical (no batteries) film camera made in '75 that really got me into photography. Yes, film is expensive, and I have to pay a lab to develop and print my photos, but they feel real. Before this, I would take photos with my phone that got lost in a sea of thousands of other images in my phone gallery and I wouldn’t really appreciate them. My friends hate waiting sometimes up to a month to get the prints, but once they have them they really treasure those photos and memories.

Old tech was slow and clunky compared to today’s smartphones which are able to do everything, but smartphones lack the physical and emotional connections that came with the old ways of doing things.

Nobody even had it enabled it the first place because it was opt-it. It’s dark patterns like these that companies use to maximize profits by exploiting the users as much as possible.

They would turn into 13 months and each one would have 28 days. September to December would be placed 7th to 10th, then July and August at the end, followed by Hermes as the 13th.

The algorithms are so fine tuned these days that by swiping once to see the next video you can no longer stop. I spent 40 minutes this morning watching reels after thinking to myself that I’ll stop after a couple videos, then I’ll make some coffee and have breakfast. After realizing that I wasted my morning I uninstalled the app. My friends will have to send me memes through other channels now.

Librewolf has been my pick for a couple years now. Some sites break because they can’t read the canvas, but the fix is easy - allow the site to access it. I messed up a work contract signature because of this once, and my scribbles looked like random digital noise. It was fun explaining that to finance and having them reissue the contract.

Imagine thinking you’re sexting to a bot but it’s actually an African man on the other end, roleplaying with you. Wicked!

Computer hardware prices go brrrrrrr

I doubt AI would ever solve videogame levels properly, unless the solutions were pre-baked into the videogames themselves. Humans, on the other hand, would definitely get the task done.
