Modern Pixels are pushing it on portability but maybe I’m just an old man yelling at clouds. My LG G8 is too big for me to fully use one handed and the Pixel 9a that should be delivered later this week is even bigger and I can’t help but wonder if I just spent a lot of money on a downgrade. I don’t want something bigger in my pocket but that’s what I just bought. D:

Graphene on my Pixel tablet has been petty great though, I’m still a bit worried because the phone needs to be able to actually do phone things.

I got a picture of the snowplow Minnesota named in her honor in St Paul last year.

Something I’ve been wondering for a while is why would someone use a BSD over a Linux distro? There’s some applications that seem more obvious, like I’ve seen diy router builds using some flavor of BSD and there’s server stuff I’m sure that some people prefer over (or are just better than) other options, but people have ported KDE Plasma and a lot of other stuff to it and… Why?

As someone who thinks the world would be a better place without little shits chucking cans of green beans at people’s heads I’m shaking my head, but my inner former retail worker is cheering for the (possibly made up for a joke) little shit with the impressive aim.

So how nasty are these things to humans? They seem like body horror nightmare fuel.

(I think I live far enough north to not have to worry about them but thinking about them still makes me a bit queasy.)

The US.

There’s a bill fresh out of committee that would put (most of) us on permanent DST. It’s got some bipartisan support and the Angry Orange has said he’s in favor of it.

There’s a metal cover of that song. I don’t know anything beyond it existing because I heard it in passing while biking to work last week but it made me laugh when I realized what it was.

What’s really funny is that I was friends with an older guy who got in deep shit with the FBI for selling bootleg VHS moves in NYC.

Oh so you’re the reason HCMC is bankrupt.

Knew a guy in high school who got expelled for not clearing out his car after a weekend fishing trip…

I think as it is now leftism is an intellectual position, but historically I don’t think that’s always been true, when leftist movements saw more broad popular appeal like during labor organizing there were definitely dumb leftists.

The reason it’s in Republicans best interest to keep people stupid is that stupid people are much easier to propagandize to. Analyzing the information you’re receiving helps make you less likely to fall for blatant lies. (Leftists know we need better propaganda, but it’s also deeply cynical to think we need it.)

If the PS3 cluster is any indication, this is gonna get patched.

That actually varies by instance, it’s been an issue because the lead mod of several tiny communities is under 18 and had to move their communities to an instance they’re actually allowed to be on.

I didn’t, but that’s because I remembered the other thread where TSH claimed to be the other woman in an affair. People were outraged.

Generally a good suggestion but having your mental health depend on a controlled substance is a fresh kind of hell. Anyone know how Spain’s health care system is for trans folks on testosterone? I can get citizenship in an EU country and a couple of people I know moved to Madrid last year and I think this situation has convinced me to move even if I’ve forgotten most of the Spanish I once knew.

I did pitch a fit and managed to get it filled today but I never want to deal with this shit again, it’s been life-alteringly awful previous times.

For some folks it actually does, my dad gets that kind of response from some usually sedating meds. He may or may not have ADHD but I do and it runs in families… my mom is undiagnosed but probably has it though.

I’m currently stuck in prior authorization hell and used the last dose of my med yesterday. Ugh. I hate this fucking country.

Wait, do I see physical media in there? Wild. Are disc drives more common in Germany or is it a metaphorical disc and they kept the design for some reason?

Commenting to watch the federation test, commenting on Lemmy has felt more like yelling into a void than usual.
